"What the fuck!" Eva who was still half asleep immediately her drowsy eyes flew wide open when she heard the distant yet familiar voice."Good morning, father. It's nice to hear your voice after all this while. I apologize, it wasn't my intention to ignore your calls but it's rather strange because I wasn't expecting to receive a call from you today." Eva explained in a modest manner."How brazen you've become! Now I have to make an appointment with you before I call you, huh? So much guts you've got!" The voice yelled again."Of course not. You can call me anytime you want, which you rarely do unless you need something from me or someone to yell and vent your anger on. The morning seems to have a good vibe so, let's not waste each other's time and get straight to the point of why you've decided to call me today of all days?" Eva said with a yawn, she was already sick of him beating around the bush. Besides, she desperately wants to go back to sleep. She has never woken up this early
After hanging up the call, Eva had a dark expression on her face. She hated it whenever Mathew had to always have to bring up her mother's name to get her to do whatever he wanted.The marriage between both Eva's mother- Shenley Black and Mathew Carter was a political marriage. The Black family is one of the top five influential families in California, and since the Carter family have a close relationship with the Black family. At that time the Patriarch of the Black family was looking for a suitable husband for his daughter Shenley Black, so the Carter family used their close influence to make Shenley marry their son who was no other than Matthew.The two people were reluctant to marry one another but they couldn't refuse their family. The first three years after their marriage the two people living under the same roof had a very distant relationship. However, the heavy pressure Matthew received from his family elder to copulate the marriage and make Shenley bore a child. The elders
When Nathalia opened the door of the office, she couldn't help but be captivated by the view of the office. First, the entire office was big and spacious, it was even bigger than her best friend's entire apartment. Second, it was spotless clean, no spec of dusk could be noticed. Nathalia was sure that the cleaning team had taken a whole day to clean this whole office. Third, everything in the office all the way to the bookshelf and documents, was neatly arranged in an orderly manner. The thing in the office that captivated Nathalia aside from the enormous black desk was the walls of the office which were made of glass which gave the perfect view of the skyscrapers lining the city. This wasn't Nathalia's first time being in the office, but everytime she visits Damien she couldn't get enough of this view."At least, he gots something that I like in this office apartment from those annoying looking papers." Nathalia muttered as she walked to the small mini living room in the office and
Sia immediately raised her head up, shocked by what she just heard. She knew that she was on the course of losing her job which she couldn't let happen, knowing how much stress she had to go through before being employed.In this situation, she had to think of a fast way to sort things out. "T-there seems to be a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to trip on you Mr. Cross. It was a mistake, please, I beg you. Forgive me just this once and I promise it will never happen." Sia finally understood how severe her situation had become so she quickly abandoned her plan of seducing Damein and crawled on her knees towards Damien."If you don't wish to lose your job, next time you don't allow people like this in my company." Damien stated not sparing the woman another look before he walked out the department along with Shane."W-what?! No, you can't fire me!! I'm sorry….. Manager, plead to the CEO on my behalf." Sia immediately turned her attention back to Manager Perry who was still stupified by
“Who are you talking about?” Nathalia asked, faking a clueless expression to what she just heard.“That daring woman, what is her name again?” Damien repeated his question again, but Nathalia became anxious at the question. She stared at Damien's face trying to figure out what he was thinking, but Damien was too good at masking his emotions and his facial expressions remained the same which made Nathalia feel scared and an unsettling feeling began growing in her stomach.She gulped hard seeing his dark expression. Was he trying to get more information about Eva and was planning to ruin her best friend's life? “Cousin, she is my closest and best friend. You can't do anything to harm her at all, she is off limits. That girl has been through a hard time and her experience in life was not something good. Don't do anything that would harm her again.” Nathalia stated with a serious facial expression. Since she already knew what had transpired between both Eva and Damien and knowing Damien
“Since, you know, then coming here was useless.” Damien stated coldly, standing up from his seat and wearing his coat.“Really, you can't!” Whining, Nathalia grabbed his hand as she also stood up from her seat too.“Don't try to stop me.” Damien gently brushed her hand off, before turning to look at Shane, “Let's get going.” He remarked and headed towards the entrance.“Ha, wait! We aren't done with this discussion!” Nathalia had a scowl on her face as she followed him out of the office and entered the elevator along with Shane.When they got to the parking lot a black Rolls-Royce cullinan was waiting for Damien. His bodyguards who were standing in the parking lot quickly bowed when they saw him step out of the elevator. One of the bodyguards wearing a black suit immediately opened the car door for him.Damien turned to look at Nathalia who was still following behind him when he got to his car. “Since you won't tell me her address then make sure you continue to keep our relationship a
Eva didn't overthink about the issue on ground. After all, they were equally at fault and he was the one that dragged her into the room. She sighed thinking about how she had to receive two phone calls early in the morning. ‘I hope I don't receive any phone calls for the rest of the day.’ Eva thought as she pulled out the items in the shopping bag she had placed on the cabinet.Earlier after she hung up the call with her father, she couldn't sleep any longer because of the bad news she had to receive so Eva wore her coat and head out of her apartment and went to the grocery store close to the apartment complex. She had noticed some ingredients were missing yesterday when she cooked for both herself and Nathalia. In the past few months Eva had stayed hidden in her apartment, whenever she was tired of sleeping, she found a new hobby which was cooking. Eva took her time to learn how to cook, she watched cooking videos on the internet and food network channels on the TV. Seeing the deli
“You asked to see me?” Shane quickly asked after he closed the door behind him.“Have you found the person?” Damien's eyes remained glued on the documents in his hand. ‘Is he really inquiring about that woman when it's lunchtime?’ Shane looked at Damien in disbelief. Earlier after Nathalia left, Damien had ordered him to find everything about Eva. “Did you or not find anything before you stand there thinking of some weird things.” Breaking his train of thought, Shane snapped out of it and cleared his throat.“The lady's name is Evangline Carter, she is the eldest daughter of the Carter family, one of the most influential families in Miami. She is a model in the entertainment industry but from my resources, despite being a model it seems like she has retired for the past four years now, but she still has a five year signed contract with the agency. She has been living a normal life and currently her reputation isn't very good at the moment.” Shane reported the information he found o
