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
Matthew was boiling in rage at the policy of the complex, which he found a blatant insult to him. Everyone knew that they were Eva’s parents for heaven’s sake! So why aren’t they letting them enter?! ‘ How dare an ungrateful unfilial brat not put our names down on the guest registry? After everything that we have done for her, she decided to treat us like this in a public place.’ Matthew thought to himself at the unacceptable situation he found himself in.“That useless child! Just wait until I get my hands on her!” Matthew muttered under his breath, his eyes shooting daggers at the front desk. He totally had no clue that Eva was no longer staying in this apartment. At this moment, his pride and ego were extremely wounded. Not only was the great Matthew Carter denied entry to his daughter's apartment, but the fact that he knew a few people who also lived in this apartment. Surely, the awkward and humiliating news of the high and mighty Matthew not being able to get past the lobby wo
Eva wasn’t hopeful nor was the type to try and comfort herself with lies. She faced the harsh reality that none of her family members would associate themselves with her unless it would benefit them. What good would come of it for them if they meddle with a discarded and useless woman like her? The only reason why they had all been calling her endlessly was because they all wanted the same things, they were trying to get close to her so that they could benefit from her relationship with Damien and she was sure that was the reason why Matthew was at her apartment thinking that she was living there.“Um, can you place that phone on the loudspeaker?” Eva requested, wanting to make sure that Matthew and Laura would hear the next things she was going to say. “Yes, ma.” The receptionist nodded her head and did what Eva had instructed her to do. “It’s done, ma.” "Good. I will be arriving there soon." Eva uttered and instantly hung up the call.“That brat is going to leave us here standin
Eva was sure that Matthew would have slapped if they were having this discussion at the mansion, but because this was a public place he was holding back from disgracing himself any further.She remained passive unlike both Laura and Linda who were quivering in fear at his frightening voice. Her face was very calm, almost nonchalant when she heard him. Shouldn’t she be scared because of the harsh scolding from her father? “Just why on earth are you asking the obvious, Mr. Carter? I have indeed lost my mind and I'm very glad that you have just realized. Though I expected you to have figured it out sooner since other people like your wife over here are already aware.” Eva finally replied, her voice distant, and dry.Everyone was taken aback when they heard her calm and composed voice. It didn’t even show that she flinched or hesitated one bit when she replied to Matthew.Matthew was also shocked as well as everyone else by the blatant disrespect, his mind suddenly went blank . Did he he
