He was amused that Eva was pretending to be nonchalant to the obvious stare that was boring a hole through her head.“Grandpa, that is a service that would require and cost you an additional few millions to my consultation fee.” Eva replied with a knowing smile on her face. Already seeing right through his plans. She grabbed her purse and was prepared to stand up from her seat and take her leave when suddenly, aarge hand submerged from beside her.It touches the table, revealing a white bank check note. “State whatever price you want." Damien uttered in his usual cold voice, not wanting her to leave quickly. He had just seen her and it was clear enough for him to know that she was avoiding him. And he needed to know why? “Grandpa, you need to have some people take care of the bugs in here. There seems to be a very big annoying fly buzzing next to me. I apologize but I must take my leave in order to escape it, since you're aware of the fact that I don't like bugs.” Eva remarked while
Dylan stared at the old man who had trained and taken care of him since he was a child till he became what he was today and being the one who held the second highest position in the company. “I wouldn't have mentioned it if it's something I could do. You need to check this paperwork by yourself because they require your signature apart from mine.” Dylan ignored the old man's antics and replied with a serious expression on his face.“Fine." Lawrence finally gave in with a sigh. Seeing the unyielding look on the face of Dylan he knew that it was impossible to sneak out of signing those documents as well. Besides, there is nothing he could do after hearing that the paperwork that he was talking about needed his signature.“You can leave now to prepare the documents and place them on my desk in the office once you're done. And apart from that, I want you to dig up information about what had just taken place now. I want to know how those greedy executives came about with this contract that
Only Damien, Lawrence, and Eva remained in the glass room after Dylan left the meeting room. Silence enfolded in the entire room when no one said a thing until Eva broke the silence.“If that will be all with what you need me to do here, grandpa. I'll be taking my leave home-” Eva was unable to finish her words when she was interrupted by Lawrence."Oh, that reminds me! I'm sure that you haven't had your breakfast since I was the one who had called you early this morning. It's well in the afternoon so why don't you have lunch with me before heading back home. “ Lawrence knew what Eva was about to say so he quickly changed the topic of discussion before she could complete the statement.Just after he finished speaking and right on que, a light rumble sound echoed throughout the entire room.Instantly, Eva felt a heavy blush traveling from her neck to her cheeks at the humiliation of her stomach grumbling. It was true that she had indeed skipped her dinner last night thanks to waking up
When she turned to look at him and saw that he was also staring at her with a slightly hopeful expression on his face, she was surprised because she hadn't seen Damien have that kind of expression on his face. She had always known him to be a very cold, and aloof person but this expression was a new thing to her.In all honesty, she was confused about why he was so Intrigued by her. Shouldn't men who are influential and powerful like him have a beautiful woman with a stellar reputation that matches with his beside him? Why does he keep looking for her, even after she tried to ditch and ignore him he was always there. She didn't want to have anything to do with him but they kept on crossing paths with each other. Eva was starting to hate their encounter because it was beginning to look like what people would call ‘Fate or Destiny' and that is the last thing she needed to hear right now. They are not bound by Fate or Destiny, they were just unfortunate to always be at the same place. S
“What? You don't know what you did? You're the number one reason I'm gloomy.” Nathalia responded, pointing an accusing finger at Ella who raised a clueless brow. “I still don't understand what you mean." She shook her head.“You don't? Then I don't mind telling you." Nathalia said, adjusting very well on the couch to face Ella properly. “You seized my cell phone, despite knowing what I needed to do with it. And you won't let me get any other cell phone or touch a phone. So you see that you're the cause of my gloomy expression. “ Nathalia complained like a spoiled child.Ella burst into a fit of laughter after hearing all of Nathalia's childish complaints. It was true that she had seized Nathalia's phone for the past three days so that she would be focused on her work since her mind has been more focused on what is going on in Miami after she saw the headlines of what happened at the banquet. “Did I say something funny to make you laugh?" Nathalia asked, raising her brow at Ella. “Y
“Of course, of course, I wouldn't want to waste any more of your time already Miss Evan.” Stanley gestured to his secretary to bring the documents over."Then, please allow your secretary outside to allow our people to enter.” Ella remarked looking at Stanley. Earlier when they arrived with their lawyer, the secretary outside of the office had only allowed both Ella and Nathalia to enter the office and asked the lawyer to wait in the other waiting room.“That wouldn't be a problem." Stanley nodded before turning to look at his secretary, beckoning her to tell the other secretary outside the office to allow the lawyer inside the office. A few moments later, they had finished signing the contract deal. Stanley stood up from up from his seat as well as Nathalia. He stretched out his hand forward for a handshake and this time around Nathalia grabbed his hand.“It’s a pleasure to sign a contract with you Miss Evan and have your work with our company once again.” Stanley had a friendly s
When they got outside the office, Nathalia walked directly towards her car while Stanley walked towards his car as well without questioning Nathalia. Since he was the one that knew the restaurant where they would be having their lunch, he drove in front of the highway while Nathalia closely followed behind him. A few minutes later they both arrived at a very classy looking restaurant and were led to a private room that Stanley had requested for since he can't allow a high ranking and famous supermodel as Nathalia to eat at the regular table in the restaurant.********Two hours later, Nathalia walked into the building where she would be taking the photoshoot. She had finished having lunch with Stanley and after having a few conversations with him, she decided to take her leave since she was done with her meal. “You're back." Ella remarked when she saw Nathalia walking into her make-up room. She was sitting on the couch with a white document in her hand. “Mm-hm, I am. I know you mis
“Your nose is still as sharp as a bloodhound, Edwin. But, yes we had smoked oysters as a side dish.” Lawrence replied, taking notice of the surprised expression on the face of the vice president of the Evan Corporation."We? What do you mean by we? Are you saying that my older brother had lunch with you?” Edwin asked, knowing that Damien is very selective and picky about the place that he eats. “Yes, he has lunch with us." Lawrence calmly replied.“Wait, if he had lunch with you then did he take a bite out of the oyster?" Edwin asked again, already reaching for his phone. He asked the question because he knew Damien might not want to tell Lawrence that he didn't like oysters and ate it out of courtesy and respect he had for the old man. “Why are you asking with that expression? “ Lawrence replied gently, staring at Edwin." That arctic cousin doesn't like oysters, most especially smoked oysters.” Edwin muttered. Lawrence leaned forward with a frown on his face. What does this brat
