“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.

1. Can you please pay more attention to the grammar? There are so many mistakes. 2. I think the author's note at the end of every chapter is beginning to sound like a broken record. Once is enough, or better still, please make it into an announcement. Thank you.

    “ 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.

    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 .

    Clara had been here for five years now. It was already enough for her to understand how precarious the situation is currently, and how far it had turned the already harsh Mark even more unbearable to work with. Ever since the Smith Enterprise had cut off the connection between the two companies , the Johnson corporation stock had been slowly dwindling. She was one of the core workers who knew about Eva’s existence in the Johnson Corporation. Before she was promoted to become CEO Mark private secretary, she had already been a part of the CEO’s team of secretaries. Not many people knew that ever since Eva stopped being a model , she had immediately taken on running the company as Mark proxy. Clara had witnessed first hand how Eva spent a whole year holed up in the office with them, barely eating and sleeping, resulting in the drastic skyrocketing of Johnson Corporation’s net worth.Eva ran a tight ship. Every single contract and proposal went through her, and she had led the managemen

    Clara looked back at the loving couple and felt her mood turn incredibly sour when she saw that they did not wait for her to take her leave before getting into a compromising and intimate position. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at how inappropriate they were in the office. ‘Can’t they control themselves, or better still get a room for goodness?’ Clara complained to herself, feeling nauseous and the scene before her. This is also one of the reasons why she disliked Chistine, she doesn’t compose herself and can’t refuse it at times. Clara was aware that there are times a couple might get carried away by their emotion but it wasn’t the case for christine. Thinking about it now, Clara couldn’t but believe that Mark never loved Eva because there was never a time she had seen him get intimate with Eva when she was still his fiance. He always had a frown on his anytime she visited, probably because he heard news that eva had caused trouble again somewhere. Clara couldn’t understand ho

    Eva’s heart pounded as she searched for a way to diffuse his anger. She knew that escalating this tension would only make things worse. Desperate, she decided to play a different card—a gamble.“Tell me, how would you like to handle the consequences? Perhaps I should start with—" He was interrupted when she abruptly stepped forward, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. The suddenness of her action made him freeze in place.“What are you doing?" He blinked. "Damien," she murmured softly, her voice sweet and soothing. She pressed her face against his chest, rubbing her cheek against the silk of his shirt.His body stiffened, his clenched fists trembling at his sides. "This won't work," he said, though his voice had lost its sharp edge."I'm cold," she whispered, her words muffled against his chest."Eva," he warned, but his tone lacked conviction."Won’t you hug me?" She tilted her head up, gazing at him with wide, pleading eyes and a slight pout on her lips. Her heart ski

    After bidding Belle goodbye and promising her one last time that she would return tomorrow, Eva walked down the hospital halls with a spring in her step. A soft hum escaped her lips, her arms filled with snacks Belle had insisted she take. The little girl had brightened her day and made her feel less alone in the dreariness of the hospital."You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you sayI'm talking loud, not saying muchI'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochetShoot me down, but I get up," Eva softly sang, her favorite song playing in her mind as she strolled back to her room. She smiled, wondering if her friend Nathalie would enjoy the snacks she was carrying.“I'm bulletproof, nothing to loseFire away, fire awayRicochet, you take your aimFire away, fire awayShe was in such a good mood that she even gently danced along the hallway to her. “You shoot me down, but I won't fallI am titanium………..”“You shoot me down, but I won't fallI am titanium” a low voice suddenly com

    She paused, her mind flashing back to the countless fights, the shattered dishes, the cold silences that followed her every rebellion. "But I didn’t let their expectations control me. I chose my path, even when it meant walking away from them entirely." Eva let out a sigh, her gaze still focused outside the window. " I really loved it when I refused them, even though it would earn me being slapped senselessly. I always find pleasure somehow and I took pride in becoming the perfect, graceful black sheep of that damned family.” Belle hung on every word, her eyes wide with admiration and curiosity."But," She continued. “I only did it when I was a grown adult, legal enough to make my own choices. My plan wasn't perfect nor did it work in pleasing my family, but then again, why should I continue to please them when they were never family to me in the first place?" Eva gently moved her gaze back to Belle, leaning forward, "However, as someone who has gone through all that, you should k

    "So, Belle," Eva began, pulling a chair close to the bed and sitting down. "Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself? What brought you here to this hospital room?" Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the overflowing flowers and gifts surrounding the small child."I caught a fever a few days ago," Belle replied glumly, her voice quiet. Though it was just a fever, she’d been stuck in this hospital for a week. She felt fine now, but her parents insisted she remain."I'm all better now. Nothing hurts anymore. I just want to go home, but they won’t let me." Belle’s lips turned down in a bitter frown as she recalled how her parents refused her calls and ignored her requests to leave. Deep down, she knew they preferred her absence."Why not?" Eva asked softly, though she already sensed the answer."Because they hate me."Eva’s heart clenched at the words, so full of pain and resignation. She studied the young girl, who stared back with guarded eyes that looked far older than her years.

    Once the door shut, the girl turned her head slightly. "You can come out now."Eva pushed the gifts aside and slid out from under the bed. She straightened up, her gaze meeting the child’s lifeless, cold eyes. They lacked the innocent sparkle of youth."Why were those men chasing you? Who are you?" the girl asked, studying Eva intently. Despite her disheveled hair and rumpled gown, there was no mistaking the elegant air that surrounded her.Eva smiled faintly, deciding to test the girl’s intuition when she noticed how she was studying her. ‘Let’s see if you're smart. "Who do you think I am?"The child’s eyes narrowed. "You’re not a simple patient.""Oh? What makes you say that?""This is the VVIP floor, accessible only with a private keycard. Your gown is made of high-quality cotton, reserved for VVIP patients.""Well, I could’ve stolen the keycard and clothes," Eva countered.The girl’s gaze didn’t waver. "Despite your messy appearance, you carry yourself with grace. Your posture, ev

    Eva jumped in alarm, spinning around to find a young girl sitting on a hospital bed. The room was filled with vases of flowers, their cloying fragrance filling the air. The child, no older than fourteen or fifteen years old, looked at her with wide, innocent eyes, her long hair framing her delicate face.Eva blinked in surprise, her anger momentarily forgotten as she stared at the young child. Somehow she felt something about this girl resembling a boy she used to know. “Hello.”“What's your name, child?" She asked, just as the footsteps outside became louder.The girl smiled faintly. “You’re running from people.” she said nugging at the door.Eva's brows furrowed. “Yes, I am.”. “Quick! Look for her before Boss gets upstairs!”The sound of the bodyguards’ voices rang in the hallway, getting closer. Panic flooded Eva's chest. She scanned the room frantically, looking for a way out, but the space was small, and the windows were sealed shut.She turned back to the girl, her pulse racing

    Eva who was moments away from hitting him with the IV pole again when his pitiful plea caught her attention. “You can tell your boss to rot in hell—” she started, but the man cut her off.“Please, Lady Boss!” he cried, desperation in his voice. “I have a wife, kids, and a family to feed—”Eva's brow twitched at his words. Of course, he definitely wouldn't be a monk like his boss, however, she had a feeling he was saying this to make her feel guilty. “And you have a dog too, I bet?” she quipped sarcastically.His eyes widened in shock. “Y-yes! Exactly! His name is Chase!”She grit her teeth in annoyance, snatching the phone from his shaking hands. “What do you want?” she demanded, her patience wearing thin. She could guess that he was trying to stall time until he got here but she wasn't planning to let him meet her here.The bodyguards flinched in fear. They truly applauded her for her boldness, but they also feared for the poor woman's head! It would really fly if she continued talk

    Turning back to the bodyguards, she picked up the IV pole and tested its weight in her hands. It was lighter than she expected, perfect for swift strikes. She had a lot of experience fighting with wooden sticks in her days in the military.Her gaze landed back to the men, a dark scowl on her face.“I’m sure everyone of you all heard the conversation,” she said coolly, her voice steady. “If you value your limbs, step aside.”The men stood their ground, but the unease in their expressions was clear.When reinforcements arrived to block the entrance entirely, Eva's lips curled into a dark smile. They’ve made a mistake.Gripping the pole tightly, her eyes blazing with determination as she scanned the men creating a barrier at the entrance.“Fine, you've all made your choices. Let's see who’s leaving with bruises.”Eva's grip on the metal IV pole tightened as she positioned herself to strike. Her eyes locked on the bodyguards standing in her way, each one ready to brace for her next move

    She sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of her nose in exasperation. If they were working for Damien, they wouldn’t stand insults against him. She smirked, deciding to bait them.“Fine. Is it your unbelievably stubborn, hideously jealous, and completely insufferable boss, Damien Cross?”One of the guards instinctively stiffened, muttering, “Our boss is not—” and immediately cut himself off, his face paling. He can't believe he just fell for that trick.“Aha!” Eva said triumphantly. “We have our catch. So it is Damien.”Smirking, she stalked back to her bed, grabbing her phone. She dialed Damien’s number, and unsurprisingly, he answered on the first ring.“Evs, you should be resting—”“Young man, tell your men to step aside,” she interrupted, her tone sharp.Damien frowned when he heard her. Asking him to order his men to step aside meant that she had gotten out of bed!His voice hardened. “What are you doing out of bed? Get back to bed right-”“You’re not the Boss of me. I’m not goi
