After a while, Eva was done giving Nathalia a brief explanation of what the contract was all about. “Gosh, I knew he was crazy but didn't realize that he was completely mad." Nathalia sighed as he rubbed her forehead. She can't imagine what kind of hardship her best friend would have to go through to achieve this kind of task. Damien, he was not human and can resist anything not to talk of woman flirting. He also wanted a child from her best friend which she understood where he was coming from in that aspect. She was aware of her parents, mostly her mother and her maternal grandfather keep pressuring Damien lately to get married and have a child. That was even one of the reasons she and Edwin had been avoiding going to see her parents because they didn't want their mother to turn her attention on them and start nagging them as well. In fact, she had been ignoring her mother's call lately because she had been caught in a stupid scandal recently and her mother had been calling her
She knew Kai was right, it would easily take effect on a normal man but Damien wasn't normal. She's sure that he wouldn't feel anything if she was naked though he had seen her naked before but that was because she was drunk and he was drugged. “They can work but it depends on the man you want to seduce like I said." Kai replied. " I wouldn't get smitten by these mere tricks if it's used on me.” He added. "Alright, the man in question is my husband.” Eva finally revealed. “What?!!" Kai jolted up like he was shocked by electricity when he Eva. He quickly sat up and looked at Eva in bewilderment. Taking the opportunity that he had gotten up, Nathalia quickly placed the bottle of juice down and seized the opportunity to lay her head on Eva's lap this time. Both Eva and Kai wanted to say something when they saw Nathalia's action but they were interrupted by her before they could speak. “You heard her right, sweetie. She's married. Which means you're the only certified loner among us."
“So, did you think I'm way more handsome than your new boyfriend?” Kai asked, folding his arm in front of his chest as he looked at Nathalia. “Geez! What did you think of yourself? Of course, my Stanley is way hotter than you are and even more looking." Nathalia replied, which was obviously a lie. Although Stanley was handsome and looked older than Kai by a year or two since he was in his early thirties and Kai was about the same age as Edwin- her older brother who was twenty nine years old. Compared to that Kai was even very much older than both she and Eva by four or five years. That aside, despite Stanley being handsome, he still couldn't be compared with Kai who was on another different level of handsome. “Is that so?" Kai raised his brow at her response. He hadn't seen Stanley before so he wasn't sure if she was saying the truth or not. “Yeah. Come to think of it, both of you share the same surnames." Nathalia suddenly remarked, she was just realizing that now. “But you st
Meanwhile, the people in the elevator glanced at her with an incredulous expression on their face. They were wondering if this woman had a death wish or a desire to go to jail. It must've been both, for she pressed the button to the highest floor that the elevator could go to. The higher up the floors, the higher up the position. Just who the hell was this woman? They were unable to tell that Eva was the same woman that had been trending online and internet lately because she was wearing a face mask and dark shade sunglasses. "Uhm, excuse me—" Eva trailed off as she turned to glance at the people behind her. "I believe this is your floor," She curtly said, stepping aside to let the people behind her out. She quietly watched as they exchanged glances, then looked at the floor she was going to stop at, and finally, they said nothing. Eventually, the employees all exited the elevator. They muttered amongst themselves and quickly called the security downstairs to notify them of her
And he had to say, his boss was using a cunning way with Eva to get what he wants. He knew about Damien's real intention with this marriage between Eva and Damien and also his purpose as well. Poor thing. For some reason, Eva felt awkward in the elevator with Shane. She sensed that he was thinking about something which was obviously related to her but she can't point it out. “What about Eric?" She suddenly asks, making Shane snap out of his thoughts and turn to look at her. After all, it was Eric she met the last time she visited and he still owes her something and that was for locking her up in Damien's office during her last visit. “Boss sent him on an errand." He replied. Of course, Eva would know Eric because they must have met some time ago when he was away to carry out the task Damien gave him. “I see." She slowly nodded her head, still holding the paper bag in her hand. "What brought Miss Eva here?” It was Shane's turn to ask this time and he took a glance at the bag in h
Shane held back a laugh, choking it down with a cough. He cleared his throat behind a fist, but his lips threatened to break out into a smile. "Get out." Damien jutted his chin towards the door. Chloe scoffed again. "I've made the journey all the way from the mall as your Director. At least look at the reports I've painstakingly crafted for you." Eva quietly stared at Chloe. She was the same woman she had seen at the mall a few weeks ago when both she and Nathalia went out to buy a dress for the Grason patriarch's birthday banquet. She is Chloe Patson according to Nathalia. Being the Director of one of the most successful malls in the country was quite a status to achieve. Her attention shifted to the way the sunlight fell on Chloe's bright blond hair and beautiful ocean blue eyes. Even though she was obviously more beautiful than Chloe, she felt this woman was capable of making a man fall beneath her feet. She wondered if Damien was also attracted to this kind woman. ‘Didn’t
Chloe was shocked again, but forced herself to nod her head. She was blown away by this woman. Just then, she realized the trespasser wasn't thrown out like a wet sock. Being schooled like this in front of the person she had worked so hard to gain his respect, her face continued to glow red. Was this stranger intentionally embarrassing her? Chloe secretly took a glance at Damien again and her heart dropped instantly. Whilst she was being scolded by some stranger, Damien's lips were curled up into a smile she rarely sees. "Well done," Damien said, his hardened voice sounding less rough. He grabbed the file and stretched it towards Shane. “Have them refix this report as well as the others I sent." He told Shane who nodded his head. Chloe felt like someone had just smatched her heart into a thousand pieces with a huge hammer. She shot a glare towards the woman. She never asked for feedback, thus, didn't appreciate this one. She tightened her grip on the report, enough to crumble th
Damien frowned before standing up from his seat and grabbed the bag and walked towards where Eva was sitting. He placed the bag on the coffee table, his tall figure towering Eva who was watching his every move. “Did you come all the way just to bring lunch for me?" He asked, his gaze burying on her before he took his seat on the single sofa next to her. “Yes." Eva nodded her head as she looked at him, hoping to hear some praise from him. “Did you come here by yourself?" He asked again. Eva shook her head before she spoke. “I asked the driver to bring me here?" “It's dangerous to wander around by yourself. Not after the drama you caused and after exposing yourself." He told her. “I know that. Don't tell me you don't appreciate me coming here to bring lunch for you?" Eva asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest as she peered at him. Damien didn't say anything and just stared at her quietly. He was glad that she actually thought about him and brought it for him, but he wasn
