“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
The price of this car was four times the price of the necklace he had given to her. Taking a step forward towards the car, Damien ran his hand on the polished car. “Boss, I don't think the lady doesn't like your gift, it seems like she is deliberately rejecting the gift because she has no interest in them.” Shane who was behind Damien suddenly spoke out his thoughts. He knew Damien had no experience when it comes to women and what their gestures mean. But at this moment, Eva had also given Damien two gifts repeatedly after he gave her a gift that means she was trying to tell Damien that she has no interest in his gift and she can afford to buy him twice whatever gifts he is sending to her.However, Shane sighed in his heart as he watched his boss who had no clue about what Eva meant.Hearing Shane's words, Damien turned to look at him with a dangerous glare which made Shane almost choked on his saliva.“Keep sending her the most expensive gift until she finally gets the one she likes
When Damien received the cufflinks gift, he had a small smile on his. Shane was surprised seeing the small on Damien's face, this was the first time he would be seeing Damien smiling in a very long time. At first, Shane thought that Eva was going to cause a nuisance in Damien's life but seeing that small that didn't last for few seconds on Damien's face Shane couldn't help take back his thoughts.It seems like Eva was going to create some positive influence in Damien's life which was filled with darkness. Besides, the had to admit that Eva had a very good sense and taste when it comes to giving gift. He found it hard to even come up with all the gifts Damien keep asking him to give to her.Damien on the other hand didn't know the silly thoughts his assistant was already thinking just by standing in front of him. When he saw Eva's gift, he suddenly found her action laughable. It turns out that he had underestimated Eva a lot, her taste seem higher than he expected. She was the kind o
“Useless impatient child, don't tell me what to do. I haven't started my lecture on that rotten attitude of yours, you unfilial brat. With this attitude of yours you will ruin this family good name-” “Save that lecture of yours because it is already fifteen years late. Give that lecture to your second daughter, I have no spare time for bullshit like that.” Eva sniped back at Matthew, interrupting him yet again. Her words were like a sharpened dagger that pierced deeply into Matthew.“You…..you….” “Honey, please calm down. You have to consider your health, getting too worked up like this can affect you.” Eva heard Laura's high pitched voice underneath the call. “So he does have the witch of the west accompanying him, what an eyesore the sight of seeing both of them together would be.” Eva whispered silently to herself but her voice was loud enough for Matthew to hear her.Matthew gritted his teeth and forced himself to take a deep breath. He calmed himself down continuously remindin
“What?! You know how the manager would get if she heard you say that. Can't the place you have to go wait?” The assistant replied as she grabbed all the necessary things Nathalia would be needing on their way.“But-” “Nathy, it's okay…..you can go. We can still talk later.” Eva, who had been listening to their conversation quickly interrupted Nathalia who was about to say something else to make them cancel wherever they were going.“You need me right now, Eva.” Nathalia was hesitant to comply with what Eva said. She didn't care if refusing to go to where they had to go would mean losing and terminating her contract with the company. To her Eva was more important than the mere contract.“It's okay, now get going. I will feel very bad if you come here instead.” Eva replied, her heart warmed up at Natalia's gesture. She wishes she could just hug Nathalia like she normally did and she would be happy if Nathalia was here with her but she can't let leave her job for her.“Okay, but I promi
