Meanwhile, Eva was busy taking a nap in the living room, doing nothing when she suddenly received a phone call from Lawrence. “Hello grandpa Smith.” She greeted him after she answered the call. “You sound like you’re in a good mood, dear. I’m sure it's due to the fact that you’re the talk in the city now?” Lawrence asked when he heard Eva’s voice. “Hehe, grandpa Smith. I just sound great because I'm resting properly. And my rising fame on the internet is just half of my good mood. Why did you call, anyways?” Eva shamelessly replied. “I called to remind you about our last discussion when you visited the company.” Lawrence said, making Eva raise her brow at him. “What discussion are you talking about, Grand Smith?” She asked. “I’m talking about the party I asked you to attend for me. I hope you didn’t forget about that?” Lawrence reminded her. Eva gritted her teeth when she heard Lawrence. She has actually forgotten about that party and only remembers now that he just told her ab
“F*uck! What the hell is wrong, Gwen?” Eva springs up from the couch where she was lazing on and yells back into the phone, completely taken abc by Gwen’s scream. “Oh dear, you have no idea how happy and excited I am right now.” Gwen replied, managing to lower her voice a bit but still sounding excited. “That doesn’t mean you ruin my ear though, dear Manager.” Eva remarked, rolling her eyes at Gwen. ‘She makes it sound like she has just been proposed to.’ “Before I tell you what is making me excited. Tell me why you didn’t come to the company today, Evangeline Carter?” The excitement in Gwen’s voice was suddenly replaced with a serious voice. “Oh, well……” Eva trailed off, while scratching the back of her head awkwardly. “I just thought of taking a rest today. And it’s not like I have anything to do at the company as well.” she finally came up with an excuse for an answer. “Don’t you dare do that with me. Which work are you doing to make you so tired? Oh, I forgot that you’re ma
“This is why I ask you to come to the company so that you can be well informed on what is going around. Anyways I’m saying that you got the ambassador deal from HB Industry.” Gwen repeated herself. Eva paused her lips when she heard her. She was a bit surprised by the news because she wasn’t expecting to get the deal like that. Even though she planned to still collect the deal, she was making her plans and thinking of approaching and was targeting Bling Corporation instead rather than approaching HB Industry. However, who would have expected the situation to be like this even before she made her move. “I did? How did it happen and how did you know?” She asked Gwen. “Okay. Big boss called me into his office earlier today and told me that HB Industry called him and offered him the contract but he rejected it. Afterwards, the Chairman of Bling corporation contacted Big Boss himself and pleaded with him to accept the contract. Actually the decision of this change came from Bling cor
After hanging up the call, Eva decided to call Kai herself before he did. “Beautiful, you called me? I was just about to call after I was done." Kai remarked after picking up Eva's call. He disregarded the fact that Tyla asked him to sign a file that was urgent. “Oh well, I received a call from Gwen just now and she had told me about everything." Eva adjusted on the couch after she replied to him. “Yes, she's faster than me. Since you already know everything, I don't need to explain further to you, right?" Kai asked. “Hm, yup. I told Gwen I will do it so you can accept the offer. But, let us see each other at the company by Monday to discuss some things before calling the Chairman back." Eva informed him. “Alright, I understand, beautiful." Kai responded with a small nod. He wasn't sure what she wanted to tell him but he knew it was something important. “Good. And thank you Kai. " Eva thanked him, making Kai confused as to why she was thanking him all of a sudden. “What
****Monday morning.****** Since she made a promise to both Kai and Gwen, Eva woke earlier and got dressed in a navy blue V-neck embroidery floral pattern side knot waist dress with a white ankle strap heels and a white duster coat. She styled her natural wavy hair and left it to fall freely behind her back while she applied a little touch of makeup on her face. After she was done dressing, Eva grabbed her bag and headed out of the room down to the dining room. “You’re heading somewhere?” Damien asked when he saw how fully dressed Eva was. “Good morning hubby. And yes, I have to go to the company today as much as I hate it.” She first of all greeted Damien with a small smile before replying to his question. “Hm. I was starting to wonder if you really had nothing to do.” Damien said as he turned his attention back to his food. “What if I don’t?” Eva curiously asked while looking at Damien who didn’t raise his head at her. “I would have taken you along to the company with
" What does my manager have to say this time to me?” Eva asked as she obediently sat down while looking at Gwen. Gwen didn't bother replying to Eva as she grabbed her tablet, tapped a few things on it before passing it over to Eva. " That's your new daily schedule from now on. You have been too lazy, that's why you're not coming to work everyday, so I took my precious time and spent the entire night doing this. Cherish it very well because it's at the cost of my sleep.” Gwen remarked and leaned back on her chair. “You really don't want to leave me alone to have peace, do you?" Eva commented, raising her head up to look at Gwen. “You wanted to rise back to the top, didn't you? I'm just helping accomplish that mission." She replied and stood up from her seat, walking over to Eva and stood in front of her. “Stand up." She told Eva who didn't argue and did what she said. “Hm……good figure. I'm impressed how you remain in shape after all these years and months of vanishing in
---------- Meanwhile, at the time the word was being spread, Christine was still sleeping sweetly in Mark's home. A few days ago, she had adamantly refused to continue with the stupid act of staying in the hospital by her company so she went directly from the hospital to Mark's mansion. As his fiance, Mark couldn't argue with her and even asked the maids to take extra care of Christine while he was away at work. Christine was busy having a nice snack in the afternoon and watching a movie in the living room with no worries. Surely, she had nothing to be worried about for now since she's got a deal that would boost her rank and status. Or so she thought she still got the deal. Unfortunately, her little, peaceful afternoon was cut short when a maid came to inform her that she had a visitor. She immediately asked the maids to let the visitor in because she already knew who it was since she received a call earlier. “Tanya, you’ve arrived?" Christine uttered when she saw her secon
"Well, I only found out today as well. And it was President Adolfo's assistant that told me before I went to ask him directly which he confirmed was true. Don't blame me without knowing the full story.” Tanya retorted back angrily, making Christine glare at her. "Don't speak to me in that tone, Tanya. Olivia would have informed me about situations like this if it was her, but ……” " So what? I get that I might be skilled as Olivia but isn't she the one who betrayed you now? She sold you out and went back to her real company. Stop comparing the both of us because I'm incompetent but loyal to you.” Tanya didn't wait for Christine to finish her words before she interrupted her. Christine rolled her eyes and did not bother to reply back to Tanya since she was right. "Let’s go back to the office now. This incident, I want President Adolf to give me an explanation in person." She knew that if she was to discuss the matter with President Adolf over the phone, he would somehow sweet talk
