Shane followed behind Damien and opened the door to the office and entered after Damien entered the office. As usual, just like Damien's personality, the room was lifeless and chilly. Damien strolled towards his chair and sat down behind his big desk. “Today's schedule?” Damien's deep voice rang out in the room.Shane cleared his throat and began his report as he looked at his tablet. “Well, you have a meeting with the CEO of Sky corporation at 2pm. You also-” “Postpone that meeting.” Damien cut off Shane with a dark expression.“What?! Okay, I understand.” Shane replied with a sigh, knowing Damien for years now he was already used to his expression. He knew it wasn't intentional but sometimes he wished that Damien could control his facial expressions. “What about the LT Corp CEO who is requesting another meeting with you? Do you wish to deny or accept?” Shane asked.“Deny.” Damien replied without much hesitation to think about it.“Okay.” Shane nodded his head. He was already anti
The presence of the knife gleaming under the light, made Shane swallow his saliva in fear. For a second he thought Damien was about to throw the knife at him again for voicing out his thoughts. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Damien cut through the box.Shane could feel his hand shaking slightly in extreme anxiety and anticipation of what inside the box. It was impossible to even think of entering the Cross Enterprise office building with having a workers ID. However, someone was capable enough of not only entering the building to the Cross Enterprise but also possess the private key card that gave the access to the highest floor in the building. This was practically impossible and unacceptable, only a few handful of people have the access to the private key card and they were mostly Damien's trusted men. So, how the heck was this a possible to be a hand delivery.Shane felt his heart beating faster and faster against his chest with each passing seconds as he watch Damie
After both Shane and Mary left the office, Damien stared at the big window behind his desk. The world looked so small to him as gaze down at the city from high up. He owned everything within a 70 mile radius and beyond, there was nothing he couldn't afford or get as long as he desired that thing in the world.The women threw themselves freely at him purposely and discreetly.Even when other country's most beautiful women threw themselves and approached him, he never flinched or even spared them a second glance. He wasn't interested in them even when they all did different kinds of schemes just to get his attention. He still didn't bat an eye for those kinds of women that shamelessly show off their bountiful bodies.Damien's mind wandered off to Eva and a slight frown appeared on his face, there was nothing special about Eva nor her background could be compared to the background of other ladies that were willing to sacrifice everything just to get his attention. Eva was different but y
Despite the fact of losing her title and position, the handful of people she was still acquainted with seemed to like her more than usual because she was now a single woman. She also remembers how Nathalia made fun of her about it, saying that most of them were like that because they knew that the spot beside her was empty and there was a chance she might fall in love with one of them.Eva didn't really believe that because she didn't plan to fall in love at this point of her life. She placed down the white card and grabbed her cellphone phone. She scrolled through her contact list for a while contemplating on who to call. After a few minutes of scanning through her contacts, she decided to text a high-profiled CEO that deals with cars in Miami.Eva had a small smile on her face, he really is trying to flaunt his wealth to her. He gifted her a purse, then she gifted him a wrist watch which was twice the price of the purse but now he is giving her this necklace which cost three times
“Your father informed me that you are going to attend the birthday party of the Grason Patriarch. He asked me to set a date for you with the Sander family heir because he doesn't trust you to not embarrass the family reputation with the date you will bring along.” Laura explained. Eva had a scowl on her face when she heard Laura's explanation. ‘Sander family?’ “Since when did you take charge of hooking me up with some random guys? How is that any of my father's concern about my date to the party? Wasn't he the one that wanted me at the party? Why did he want to choose my date for me again?” Eva questioned with an irritated look on her face.“What do you mean by that statement, Evangline Carter?! As the Madam of the family, I can order you to go on the blind date without your father asking me to.” Laura yelled angrily, she hated the fact that Eva wasn't treating her as the Madam of the Carter family. “As long as you're part of this family you have to follow every order.” She added.“
“How annoying!” Eva muttered as she threw her phone to the seat next to the couch. Those two just don't get the fact that she wanted to be left alone. “Giving such a short notice to a stupid blind date. Besides, why the Sander family heir?” she wondered. The Sander family is one of the most powerful law firm families in the entire country and as for the heir, Eva heard that he wasn't in the country and was staying overseas at that time she was still Mark's fiancee.‘Did he come back to the country? If that's the case then it is a reason for Laura to set a blind date because he doesn't know anything about my past that much.’ Eva thought. “Honestly I need to clear my head.” Eva stood up from the couch and headed towards her kitchen. She opened the cabinet and grabbed a bottle of wine and a wine glass. Pouring the alcohol into the wine glass, Eva raised her cup to her lips but she stopped again when the smell of the alcohol wraft her nose.Suddenly, she recalled the promise that Natha
“What?!” Nathalia yelled loudly over the phone.Eva had to remove the phone away from her ear before she lost her eardrum from Nathalia's loud voice. She was already expecting this reaction from Nathalia if she told her.“Since when did you have a date? With who? Why didn't you tell me? When are you going on the date?” Nathalia fired different questions at Eva without letting her answer each one.“Hold up, how many questions do you want me to answer at once.” Eva immediately stopped Nathalia from asking any further questions. “Okay, so I need you to explain everything to me right away.” Nathalia finally calms down. “I was just informed that I'm having a blind date with the heir of the Sander family today by Laura and the date is happening this weekend.” Eva explained.“The Sander family heir? Why would they have to choose your date to the party, trust me it would turn out as a disaster if you go with whoever they picked for you. Besides, why did you agree to go to the party?” Nathal
“Did you really think Mark is the kind of man to care who I walk with into the banquet?” Eva asked, knowing better than anyone else that making Mark get jealous is obviously a waste of time. What's there for him to get jealous about when he already possesses everything he wants? Even if her partner was truly of a higher class and wealthy family which was on the same par with his family. He would be blinded by the delusion that he was perfect in every way.He never lamented and thought any man was higher than him in comparison to wealth and looks because he had his head stuck in the clouds of illusion that made him think he was already the best man in the country.“If Christine is present then forget it, he will probably see no one else except for her. Without her his whole world would become a blur to him.” Eva added which was true.Mark has always had his eyes centered on Christine and no one else. She was the angle that had descended from heaven in his eyes and everything around wa
