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

    He couldn't wait for the day and time when his parents and their grandfather would lecture Damien for making them wait for him to start his own family. The man was already thirty years old and had yet to bring home any woman to introduce to his family, most especially their grandfather. Now that Edwin thought about it, he remembered seeing a particular headline that was blown up recently. He had been receiving phone calls endlessly from his parents, most especially his mother who was Damien's Aunt she had been calling him nonstop since Damien wasn't picking up their calls.They wanted to confirm if the news we're true or not as they giddily imagined that a grandchild is in the near future. Unfortunately, Edwin didn't know if it was real or notWhen Eva walked out of the Smith Enterprise, she was about to head to where she had parked her car, but a hand suddenly grabbed her. “I'm not taking a cab this time since I've brought my own car, you can let go of my hand.” She turned around, r

    She glanced down at Damien's peaceful expression. Her eyes trailed up to his lips to his eyes, where dark circles were heavily visible. She sighed, knowing fully well that it was better to let him sleep than wake him just because she was uncomfortable. She can endure it for a little bit more.The man noticed their intimate position but acted as if he hadn't witnessed anything out of the blue from his boss. The entire car was stuffy and filled with awkward tension, so Eva decided to be the first to break the awkward atmosphere.“You said his insomnia acted up, I still don't understand. Why did he become like this out of nowhere? Shouldn't he take medication for his health?” She curiously asked, thinking back to what the man had said earlier.“Boss is severely having trouble getting any sleep lately, not like he did sleep before. His lack of sleep had been causing him severe headaches and he had been constantly taking medication to lessen the headache since he couldn't sleep for more th

    After wasting so much of her remaining energy, Eva became extremely tired. She took notice of the couch placed on the opposite side of the black, and lifeless room.Eva weakly dragged her legs, she walked slowly to it and the second she sat down, she felt her entire body grow completely weak and she slowly felt her consciousness slip out of her body.“Resting for a few moments wouldn't hurt." Eva tiredly muttered to herself.Soon, she found herself lying on the couch comfortably and curling into a ball. In a matter of minutes, she was completely asleep. ********Damien woke up in the middle of the night as he normally does. He sat up on the bed and ran a tired hand through his black silky hair before realizing his situation. He frowned instantly when he gathered the fact that he was in his bed, barely covered by the blanket. He was still wearing the dark blue three-piece suit from this morning, except for the fact that it was a bit disheveled from being used as pajamas. The frown on

    “I... I’m starting to think Eva might be trying to sabotage me. You know, with the awards coming up, and her growing popularity... I just have this feeling she’s trying to push me out of the competition,” Christine said, her voice trembling slightly as if she was on the verge of breaking down. She knew Mark would respond to weakness, to vulnerability, just as he always had.Mark’s voice was low, filled with annoyance. “What do you mean, sabotage you? She’s already got the public on her side. What else does she want?”“I don’t know, Mark. But I can’t shake the feeling that she’s behind some of the things happening to me lately,” Christine continued, carefully planting the seed of doubt. “She’s been getting more endorsements, more media attention... She’s always one step ahead, and I feel like she’s using me to boost her own career. Maybe she’s trying to push me out of the spotlight, making sure I don’t have a chance to win.”Mark was silent for a moment, processing the information. Chr

    Eva didn’t respond immediately. She could feel the seriousness in Everett’s words, and for a brief moment, the playful rivalry between them was pushed aside.Everett’s eyes softened slightly as she looked at Eva, a rare glimpse of concern flickering in her gaze. “What are you going to do about her? She’s the one who caused my accident but had that person lie he was a fan, right? Also with the recent things happening, I can tell she’s been pulling strings, trying to break you down.”Eva's expression hardened, her grip tightening on her wine glass. “I’m not sure yet. But Christine’s time is running out.” She gave a slight, bitter laugh. “I won’t let her destroy me.”Everett studied Eva for a moment, her face unreadable. “Be careful, Eva,” she said quietly, her tone more serious than Eva had ever heard. “Christine’s dangerous. And she’s got a way of making everyone believe her sweet little act.”Eva took a deep breath, looking away briefly as she processed Everett’s words. The concern wa

    The day of the event arrived, and Christine was glowing with victory. Dressed in an elegant gown, she enjoyed the attention as she mingled with industry elites, knowing she was now the headlining speaker.With Eva out of the picture, this was her moment.Then the doors opened.Gasps rippled through the crowd as Eva walked in, effortlessly poised, wearing a breathtaking designer dress. The cameras instantly shifted toward her, flashing in rapid succession.Christine’s smile faltered. “What is she doing here?”Before she could react, the event host stepped onto the stage, microphone in hand.“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special surprise. While there were some scheduling changes, we’re honored to have Eva here tonight.”Christine stiffened. “What? That’s impossible!”Eva merely smiled, making her way toward the front.Kai had pulled the right strings behind the scenes. Even if she wasn’t an official speaker anymore, she was still one of the biggest names in the room—and the audience

    Christine was livid. Every attempt to ruin Eva had backfired, and now, the industry was beginning to suspect foul play.Her carefully crafted innocent image was slipping, and she refused to let that happen.Gripping her phone tightly, she dialed Tanya, her voice sharp the moment the call connected."Tanya, listen carefully. I don’t care what it takes—pull every string, bribe whoever you need to, but make sure Eva does not attend the upcoming fashion event. I want her out, completely.”Tanya hesitated. “Christine, are you sure about this? Maybe you should—”“Don’t question me!” Christine snapped, her frustration boiling over. “Do you think I have the luxury of waiting? Eva is already taking the spotlight. If this continues, I won’t even be considered for the Top Ten Models Award!”Tanya sighed. “Fine. I’ll see what I can do. But Christine, be careful. You’re playing a dangerous game. If this backfires, it could cost you everything.”Christine scoffed. “Please. Eva won’t be able to prov

    Christine sat alone in the dimly lit hotel, her fingers lightly tapping against the side of her untouched wine glass. The usually confident and composed woman looked lost in thought, her expression unreadable as she stared at the city skyline beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows.Everything she had planned against Eva had backfired spectacularly. Instead of destroying Eva’s reputation, she had only fueled the public’s admiration for her. The industry was turning against Christine, and the narrative was slipping out of her control.A soft click of heels echoed through the room, breaking Christine from her thoughts.“Christine?”She turned her head slightly, finding Tanya standing near the entrance, a curious look on her face.Tanya was one of the few people Christine trusted—or rather, tolerated—because she was useful. Smart, cunning, and always willing to play dirty, Tanya had been by Christine’s side long enough to know exactly how far she was willing to go to get what she wanted.“Wh

    A few days after Mark successfully cleared his name from the Harper Luxuries scandal, Christine sat alone in her dressing room, her perfectly manicured fingers tapping impatiently against the vanity table.She had tried everything—sabotage, whispers in the right ears, carefully placed rumors—yet Eva always came out unscathed. Every plan Christine devised had crumbled before her eyes, and it was beginning to drive her insane.If indirect tactics didn’t work, she had to change her approach. This time, she wouldn’t hide behind shadows. She wouldn’t need to.Instead, she would manipulate the situation so well that Eva would ruin herself.All she needed was the perfect stage.---An exclusive fashion gala was set to take place, attended by top designers, influencers, and media elites. Both Eva and Christine had been invited as brand ambassadors for their respective labels.Christine smirked to herself. This was it. The perfect opportunity.She had carefully arranged for the media’s attenti

    The dim candlelight cast a golden glow over the elegantly set dining table. A soft melody played in the background, filling the room with warmth. Christine had spent hours preparing this—his favorite dishes, the finest wine. Tonight had to be perfect.She glanced at the clock anxiously. Mark would be home soon. And she had to fix this.The front door finally opened, and Mark stepped inside. His face was tired, his eyes dark with frustration. He didn’t even glance at the romantic dinner she had prepared. Instead, he sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair.“Christine, what is this?” His voice was cold.Christine swallowed and stepped toward him. “A dinner. For us.”Mark scoffed, shaking his head. “A dinner? Christine, do you have any idea what I’ve been dealing with? My father’s furious. Investors are backing out after the Harper Luxuries. I've lost of funds.” His voice grew sharper, filled with exhaustion. “And do you know what people are whispering? That my own fiancée might

    The silence between them was thick with unspoken thoughts, but Damien wasn’t one to leave things unresolved. He turned slightly, his piercing gaze fixed on her.“Why didn’t you ask for my help?” His voice was calm but held an edge of something deeper—something close to frustration.Eva, who had been absentmindedly tracing the rim of her wine glass, glanced at him. A small smirk curled her lips, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.“Because it was something I could handle,” she said simply. “Like always.”Damien’s expression remained unreadable, but his fingers curled slightly against his knee. “And if you couldn’t?”Eva shrugged. “Then I would have asked. But it wasn’t time for that yet.”That answer didn’t satisfy him. He exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple. “Eva—”“I know what you’re going to say,” she interrupted, meeting his gaze head-on. “You think I should have let you take care of it. But Damien, I don’t always need you to fight my battles. Sometimes, I want to win them on my own

    Eva sat on the couch, feeling bored. The scandal had caused too much noise, and going home—where the paparazzi were undoubtedly lurking—was out of the question.With a sigh, Eva reached for her phone and scrolled through her contacts. Her finger hovered over Damien for a moment before she pressed the call button.The phone rang twice before his deep, smooth voice came through. “Eva.”Just her name. Nothing more. But there was something in the way he said it—low, controlled, yet sharp with attention—that made her exhale slowly.“Hey,” she murmured, leaning against the plush headboard.Silence. Then, “What’s wrong?”She almost smiled. He always saw through her.“I can’t go home,” she admitted, rubbing her temple. “The reporters are camped outside. And after today’s interview… they’ll only get worse.”Damien didn’t answer immediately. She could hear the faint rustling of papers, the click of a pen, before he finally spoke. “Where are you?”“Penthouse suite at the Grand Royale,” she repli
