George raised a brow upon hearing that. Hazed state? Did something happen to her?He turned towards Julian and wrote down on a piece of paper to investigate what happened to her last night.Nodding at his command, Julian quickly grabbed his phone to call their team in Miami to dig out what happened to Eva. After a while, he spoke up again. "Will you do it again?" He asked her. He knew she could easily lie to him and say no, but he had enough trust in her to believe she wouldn’t attempt to break another promise."I can’t say I never will. But I will try my hardest not to drink any alcohol unless I’m under the supervision of someone I can trust." She truthfully said, not wanting to make another promise she couldn’t uphold.At her words, George felt his lips twitch. She didn’t lie to him, nor did she promise him anything. That was what he expected of her. "Do you remember what you did when you were drunk?"Eva paused at his words, thinking back to her hazy memories. She faintly remember
When the two people noticed the presence of people in the room, they quickly broke off from each other's grasp. Mark's lips tilted up to a pleasant smile when he saw Damien. "Mr. Cross, you’re here." He greeted, happily walking up to him to shake hands but one of Damien's security details came forward to prevent any contact.Mark’s eyes twitched at the disrespect as he ruthlessly scanned the men in his path. "What is going on?"Damien ignored his question and brushed past his men. He disdainfully eyed Christine who was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed. Her off-shoulder silk top was low and revealed too much cleavage and she was wearing a short skirt. The sight of her only grossed him the most.Eric was also surprised by her unprofessional attire. His boss had also ordered him to dig into her past, and he quickly realized that she had zero notable talents, except being a model which was due to her older sister's help. This was a professional meeting regarding a contract worth
Christine flinched at his harsh words, tears building up in her eyes. She didn’t think of herself as a mistress. Mark came onto her first and he ignored all of her protests! Instead, Eva should be the one called that because she was the one who was supposed to marry Mark before Eva came and stole her chancemWhy did she have to look like the bad guy when all she did was help him escape a loveless marriage? So what if that crazy woman , called her sister, was in love with her Mark ? Did he have to love everyone that loved him?! He willingly proposed to her and not to that woman!"Yes, but she’s only a mistress if she was the other woman in my current relationship-""She was the other woman in your previous one." Damien boredly said."She’s also an eyesore. If you want to discuss business, get her out of here." Damien added the final blow, motioning security to step forward.It took every fiber within Mark’s body to prevent his jaw from dropping to the floor at Damien’s insult."And her
"This is a proposal for a resort. Why are you approaching Cross Enterprise instead of Smith Enterprise?" Damien lifted his head, a listless expression on his face.Mark’s smile instantly faltered a bit at the blunt question. Why else? Smith Enterprise had already rejected him! "Currently, Johnson Corporations does not have a good relationship with Smith Enterprise at the moment."Damien didn’t need him to say it because he already knew the truth. But to him, since Mark knew that he had screwed up, it was satisfying to know. Mark should’ve just left his stubborn little kitten alone by calling off the wedding between the two families gently. Instead, he crossed the line and went as far as to humiliate and embarrass her in a public place."But that is not the only reason why this proposal was rejected in the first place." Damien remarked with a straight and blank face making it hard to tell what he was thinking. A smirk which was invisible appeared on his face when he saw Mark's baffled
"No amount of money can buy my loyalty to my boss." Eric disdainfully said, sizing Mark up and down. He could not help but wonder why his boss would fall for a woman who had once fallen in love with this kind of man. What does it say about her taste? And his boss’s preference?!Clara handed over Mark's checkbook and he wrote down a check for ten million. He waved it in front of Eric who seemed unfazed by the seven zeros."Ten million."Eric turned on his heels and was about to open the door when Clara stepped in front of it, blocking the exit."Twenty million." Mark doubled the amount without hesitation. Ten million or twenty million meant nothing to him because if the proposal gets approved, Johnson Corporations would be raking in at least a few billion annually!"Tell your secretary to step aside or else brute force would have to be used." Eric glanced down at the petite woman in front of him.Clara felt her back stiffen and her body clenched in fear when she looked into her older
**********“You're late." Damien, who was sitting behind his desk in his office remarked when Eric strolled in."I apologize, boss, I had to take care of something that came up." It was as if a switch had been flickered within Eric's brain because, at the sight of his boss, he was no longer the fearsome man who mocked CEO Mark and beat up his bodyguards. In his place was a respectful and loyal secretary who was willing to risk his life for his boss.Damien raised a brow and glanced at Eric's appearance. Not a single hair was out of place, but he saw his slightly scratched knuckle and already knew what had happened. "I hope that giant pest was taken care of?""I’m afraid not. Those weren’t my orders so I only took care of the underlings of the scum." Eric apologetically said, his shoulders slightly hunched over in disappointment. Boss wanted him to hurt Mark? Why didn’t he say so sooner?"Mm, that’s alright. Dealing with them head-on would be swift and easy, but the consequences will b
After she left, Dylan turned his attention to the secretary sitting behind her desk. “That lady isn't the type of person you need to ask if she has any appointments with the chairman before you let her in. Even if you are doing your job, you should inform the chairman immediately next time she comes here.” He instructed. He could tell that the secretary was not allowing Eva to enter, that was why he had met her outside.“I understand, sir." The secretary quickly bowed her head at Dylan watching him walk away.Inside the office, Eva entered after she got permission from Lawrence to enter when she knocked on the door.“Hi, Grandpa Smith." Eva greeted, a smile on her face as she walked in. She saw Lawrence sitting behind his desk as usual and his personal assistant standing in front of him.“Oh, Eva. What brought you here? You didn't tell me you were going to visit today." Lawrence asked gesturing Eva to sit down on the couch in the office.“I didn't plan to as well. I just came here to
She was at a banquet and was drunk out of her mind, causing a hysterical scene. At the time, Mark had brought Christine as his partner to the banquet, making everyone in the party surprised by his sudden choice of partner when Eva was supposed to be his partner. It was at that moment Eva started to believe her own theory that Mark and Christine had something going on together. Noticing that guests were starting to think that Christine could be the love of his life and that the bond between him and Eva was nothing more than ink on paper.Heartbroken and thinking irrationally, she had confronted Mark about why he had brought Christine as his partner and refused to bring her along when she was his fiancee. Mark's response to her was that he didn't think Eva would want to, since she didn't seem to value him by her side.Not understanding the ploy Mark was pulling on her, she declared to him she was willing to do anything to get him back as her partner in the party in order to say her fac
