Earlier when they were having breakfast, their constant bantering during the meal had shortened a few distance between them. He only changed out of his casual dress so that he could personally drop her off, and within just a few minutes that he was gone she was back to being cold and distant. Weren't friends supposed to talk to each other about the things bothering them? He thought he had taken one step forward, but now, it felt like he was three steps backwards. He was annoyed and pissed at whoever had caused this setback, making him direct his harsh attention towards the pathetic woman beside Eva. Sarah looked at him with a hopeful expression when she saw him finally looking at her and giving her attention.“What is your name?" He asked, his eyes scanning over disheveled appearance and the mess on the floor surrounding both of them.“Sa- Sarah, sir." Sarah stammered as she replied. She could feel her heart beating ten times faster in joy. This was the first time she'd get to have
“I want you to make sure that she never finds a good job for as long as she's alive.” He announced as he glanced at the scattered beads of the bracelet. "Check the authenticity of the heirloom as well. If it's true, find whoever is closest to the previous owner of the heirloom and compensate them. Make sure she doesn't get to touch the money." Those words that left Damien's mouth were what shattered Sarah's entire world. She screamed louder than before and clung onto Damien tighter, but her pleas and cries were ignored. The head maid didn't need to be told what to do, she signaled with her hand and men dressed in black came forward. She figured that the two maids wouldn't be able to drag Sarah, seeing how she was being stubborn. The men apprehended her and easily dragged her away, despite how Sarah tried to scream and kick her way out of their grasp, but it was useless.“Fire everyone who had witnessed what happened and did nothing. I want all of the new servants hired by my aunt to
Despite the fact that she was expressing visible unhappiness by his actions, she was secretly enjoying this princess treatment. His hold on her was firm, yet gently, making her feel protected and treasured in his arm. However, she quickly realized that he was too inexperienced in this field. He carried her a bit too high, so her head was near his shoulder blades instead of his chest. The thought that he doesn't usually carry women in his arms intensified the feeling of security blooming deep within her.‘I guess it's not really a bad idea to be carried by one of the world's handsome men, haha. But who would have thought that this dangerous looking man is not good at carrying a woman.’ Eva thought to herself, trying to hold back her smile. Damien’s lips twitched in amusement, she likes to verbally disagree with everything he does for her,but her body always disagrees with her words. Even as they both argued,she had shifted her head to rest comfortably on his shoulder, her cheeks slig
Eva shook her head to clear her mind. She didn’t want to keep dwelling on that thought any longer. She took off the towel and slipped the dress on. Eva thought about calling Damien after wearing the new clothes, but paused when she remembered that her purse was still nowhere to be found. She looked around his room, confused about where the purse could have disappeared to. It's not like it could suddenly row out its own legs and run off!In her rush to find her bag, she totally forgot about the button by the bathroom that Damien had told her about. Eva had no idea when she had turned the perfectly cleaned room into a total mess just to look for her purse. A few minutes had gone by and she was still unable to find her purse.“Where the hell could it be?” Eva mumbled under her breath. She was completely oblivious to the fact that Damien was standing by the door, watching her in amusement. He found her action and expression funny anytime she searched a place and couldn't find the item she
“Like hell, I would, Mr. Cross.” Despite the fact that she seemed displeased at his words, there was a tiny smile on her face and Damien saw the slightest glimmer of hope.‘Good.’ he thought to himself. Their relationship hadn’t taken three steps backwards, instead, it had taken four steps forward! He had expected to take baby steps to improve their relationship, but it seemed he could already start sprinting. This was beyond his expectation and this realization made him glad. After rubbing the ointment on her knees and making sure that she wasn’t hurt anywhere else, Damien took her home. ***********A few minutes later.“You can stop the car here and I can get out.” Eva told Ray. Although they hadn’t reached her apartment building, she wanted him to drop her off a block away from her apartment. Since was avoiding being seen stepping out of such an expensive car because it would only attract the attention of people to herself, they might start becoming curious about her affairs.Plu
“ Yes, and according to him, he said that the task would take longer than expected to complete.” Eric who is also known as Mr. Hook reported. Unlike Shane who usually has a gentle, nice and easy-going expression, Eric was the opposite. He always wore a calm,yet serious expression, probably because he had been working under Damien for a long time so he had taken some traits and attitude from his Boss.Although Shane could be considered as his senior because Shane knew Damien since they were young and Shane was the first most trusted man Damien could rely on. However, Shane had still managed to maintain some of his natural personality despite being with Damien and working with him for a very long time.It was probably because he had been trained by Damien personally that he was similar to Damien in terms when it was something relating to work.“Tell him that I want him to complete the task as soon as possible because he has a lot of pending work he needs to take care of personally. I am
Sophia was shocked to see another woman in the arms of Damien. She thought they said that he isn’t romantic, so why is he holding that woman in his hand with so much care? After seeing the picture of Damien and Eva on the internet, Sophia desperately kept looking for an opportunity to see Damien but to no avail as Damien was an easy person to easily see like that, plus nothing less than assistant chief in the department. There is probably no way someone with that kind of position to casually get to see Damien. Besides, one of the reasons why she was unable to see Damien was because he was staying with Eva at hospital when she fainted at the banquet. The reason why Sophia was on the floor of Damien’s office was because she had come across a worker who was the one that the Chief Accountant had asked to bring the file to Damien. Seeing this as an opportunity, Sophia collected the file from the worker and gave the file she was about to give the Chief Accountant as well. This was an
Even though you don’t like it, I just want you to know that I was in a tight spot that day as well. There is no way I could refuse my father’s words and I didn't want to say anything that would hurt the Old Master too. I hope you can understand not to give me the extreme cold treatment. And about getting a job. I know I hadn't gotten this job and position because of the old master, however, I promised to work harder in order to prove my abilities to you,” Sophia confidently declared. She knew that Damien was displeased by the fact that she was using her connection to get herself a job in the company. However, she was hoping that her little confident declaration would make Damien see her in another light. Sophia planned to take on additional responsibilities, complete projects ahead of schedule, and actively seek out opportunities to showcase her skills. She was determined to prove to Damien that her abilities were not dependent solely on her connections, but rather on her own hard work
