Meanwhile, both Christine and Mark were having dinner together but Mark kept staring at Christine's dull and gloomy expression ever since he returned back from work. Though he had things to do, he couldn't ignore Christine, especially when she looked like that.

He had not yet been informed of the news involving the change of ambassador since that wasn't his own line of business. He only gets involved with the entertainment industry because of Christine and nothing more.

“Christine, is there something troubling you? You can always tell me and I will fix it for you." He asked, making Christine look at him.

“Nothing is wrong. I don’t want to trouble you with my problems, you have things to face as well.” Christine shook her head. Her words were saying she didn't want to disturb Mark but her actions were enough for him to tell that there is a problem with her.

“You are not troubling me with anything, so tell me what it is." Mark told her.

Christine looked at him with a bit of he

    ******* The next day at HB Industry. Just like Christine had told Mark, she headed to HB Industry along with Tanya and President Adolf. Although President Adolf had things he wanted to do and would have refused to go along with Christine, after he received a call from Mark, he had no choice but to go along with Christine. “Sir, you have some visitor waiting outside for you." Mr. Carl's secretary walked into his office and announced. “Visitors? Where are they from?" He asked his secretary. “President Adolf from BTG Industry and Christine Carter are here to see you, sir." The secretary quickly replied back to Mr. Carl who creases his brow a bit. He didn't remember setting an appointment with people from BTG Industry today so why have they come to see him, most especially President Adolf. There was only one person he had an appointment with today which is obviously not President Adolf. “Bring them in." He instructed his secretary who bowed and walked out of the office to carry out

    “That's exactly the reason why I came to see you because I know and I believe that you have a way to convince the Bling corporation. My fiance, Mark Johnson wanted to give you a call when he heard about this but I told him not to because he might not speak nicely like I am doing right. Besides, this is a matter that is involved with him.” Christine remarked while looking at Mr. Carl with an innocent smile on her face. Although she didn't say it or make it sound that way. However, a person with high IQ would be able to tell that she was secretly convening a threat message to Mr. Carl. Of course, he wouldn't want to offend one of the city's powerful men. A deep frown appeared on Mr. Carl's face when he heard Christine. He wasn't a child that needed explanation to what she just said. “What are you implying, Miss Christine? Because I have every right to think that you are trying to threaten me with your fiance's reputation. I do know you're the lover and fiance of Mr. Johnson, however, I

    The moment the door opened, everyone turned their attention to the door and Christine's facial expression immediately went pale when she saw the two women. Of course, the two women were none other than Evangeline and Gwen who came to visit Mr. Carl.“Miss Evangeline, you've arrived." Mr. Carl stood up from his seat and walked towards both Eva and Gwen with a warm smile on his face.“It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Carl. This is my manager Gwen Wilson.” Eva took Mr. Carl's handshake and introduced Gwen to him.“Ah, of course. I have heard a lot about you too, Manager Gwen.” Mr. Carl smiled at Gwen who nodded her head at him.While Mr. Carl was still greeting Gwen, Eva walked past him and headed to an empty single sofa which was at the head of the entire mini living room. The way she sat down made her look like a boss but Eva didn't care about it, she went as far to ignore the three people already sitting down like they were invisible to her.Mr. Carl couldn't help but smile when he

    A smile appeared on Gwen's face after she read the message. ‘Hm, I agree with you. You can see the pained look on his face which I like.’ Gwen sent her reply back to Eva, who smirked at the message.“Mr. Carl, you can't do this to us. Even if you can't change the decision, there are other ways we can do it." Christine remarked. She wasn't going to leave here without a good result.“I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that, Miss Christine?" Mr. Carl asked." You can just help to persuade Evangeline over here to give the contract back to us.” Tanya was the one who replied before Christine could. Her gaze landed on Eva who was busy with her phone and not paying attention to them.It turns out Christine was the only one who had gotten jealous of Eva. Tanya also felt the inferiority complex when she saw the way Gwen was also addressed by Mr. Carl. He didn't spare her a glance and she was sure he hadn't heard about her before. That was the privilege of being a famous Model and a

    “Sister, if you are here for the ambassador contract that was given to you, then you should know that is what we are also here for." Christine said.“I'm indeed here for the ambassador contract deal. But I don't understand what that has got to do with you?" Eva replied, her gaze landing back on Christine.“Miss Evangeline, you should be aware that the ambassador contract was actually given to BTG Industry before the decision was changed." President Adolf was the one who spoke this time around. He wasn't stupid to not address Eva properly unlike Tanya.“We are aware of that, Mr. Adolf. But like Eva said, I don't understand what and why that has anything to do with us. We only got a call that the deal was given to Elite Entertainment and that is our reason for being here today.” As Eva's manager, it was her duty to speak up for Eva so Gwen was the one who replied back to President Adolf.“But BTG Industry was the one who claimed that contract at first.” President Adolf said, making Gwe

    “Miss Gwen, I know Miss Eva isn't working under BTG Industry. However, it's Miss Eva's younger sister we are talking about here. The two of them are sisters and I understand that Elite Entertainment are the ones the contract was given to but Miss Eva can refuse the contract for her sister.” President Adolf replied.“This shouldn't be hard for Evangeline……I mean Miss Evangeline to do. Christine needs this contract more than her. It might even improve their relationship and clear up a bit of the misunderstanding that is between the two sisters if Miss Evangeline let go of this contract for Christine.” Tanya, who had been quiet suddenly remarked.“Are you the one to tell me if Eva needs this contract or not? As far as I'm concerned, I'm her manager and we came here to discuss the contract.” Gwen replied to Tanya with a deep frown on her face."Unfortunately, the issue with Miss Christine and I isn’t a misunderstanding..." Eva spoke calmly, "I helped her so many times, yet she turned aro

    “I apologize for what my manager said again. It wasn't her intention to offend you and my sister, Miss Gwen." As usual, Christine came to Tanya's rescue.“I don't care what excuse or relationship you have with Evangeline. But as her manager, I will not tolerate a low ranking wannabe manager speak rudely to my model.” Gwen replied back angrily, not interested to indulge Christine in her silly innocent act since she wasn't convinced by the innocent act.Tanya wanted to say something when Christine pinched her, telling her to keep quiet so she could only fum in her mind while glaring at Gwen."Christine, let me make myself clear to you one more time. I have enough things to think about rather than wasting my time getting jealous and angry over the fact that you are Mark Johnson's fiance. He is just like a leftover food that I lost interest in and I'm glad he picked you because you are a perfect couple just like everyone say.” Eva suddenly remarked.Christine couldn't help but grit her te

    “You think I took the deal just because I wanted to? Bling corporation requested for the swap. And you're right, Evangeline Carter is just that kind of person. I'm cruel and want everything for myself because it was given to me. It's not my fault that Bling corporation didn't want Christine or BTG Industry, so stop blaming unnecessarily unless you're ready to face my wrath. “ Eva replied, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes as she glared at Tanya. "Also, what do you mean by I TOOK the deal from Christine? Haven’t I been nice and allowed her to take enough from me? Because I'm not letting her have this contract means you, an insignificant manager like you dares to insult me.” “But sister, at that time, you were the one that suddenly announced you were retreating from the limelight, hence your jobs were given to me and other models that were available. What do you mean by ‘you allowed me’?" Christine asked, she was obviously not backing down from her argument with Eva. The thing

    Just as Rex reached for his expensive wine again, the door to the room burst open with a thunderous crash, silencing the revelry in an instant. Crimson laser dots swarmed the room, targeting every man, freezing them in place.Rex barely blinked when he saw the commotion. It was not something new to have enemies barge into the place he was having fun. Probably, it would end with another threat conversation before the other party leaves. Calmly, he sipped his drink and set it down. But just as his fingers released the glass, a bullet shattered it, spilling the expensive liquor onto his custom Dior shoes."Bold little bastards," Rex muttered, his patience wearing thin. Reaching into his waistband, he pulled out a pistol.Upon seeing the lethal weapon in his hand, the women beside scattered like frightened mice, their shrieks piercing the tension-filled air. They weren't women who worked for the clan, instead, they were just simple escorts and prostitutes called in to please these big-sho

    After switching the light on, her eyes landed on a set of bags near the couch. The scent of familiar dishes wafted through the air, and her heart twisted painfully. He had brought her favorite foods, likely intending to eat with her.He had wanted to eat with her. Her chest prickled with guilt and for a moment, she hesitated.But then she glanced at the shattered vase she had thrown in anger, and the guilt was replaced by frustration. Gathering the bags, she marched to the door and opened it to find Damien’s bodyguards standing stiffly outside.“You must be hungry standing out here all day,” she said, shoving the bags into their hands. “Take these. I’m not in the mood to eat.”The men exchanged bewildered glances.“Lady Boss, are you sure—”“If you don’t want them, throw them away,” she said curtly, shutting the door before they could protest further.“We can't really toss this away, can't we? This is too expensive." One of the bodyguards said, glancing at the bag while the others nod

    His scowl deepened, and for a moment, she thought he might explode. But instead, he bit back whatever retort had been on the tip of his tongue. He knew that pushing her further would only backfire.“I understand you hate hospitals,” he said after a long pause, his voice gentler. “But staying here and resting is for your own good. You’re too stubborn to take care of yourself, so I have to do it for you.”Did he view her as a child? Why was he so persistent in keeping her here? She could recuperate somewhere else with a personal doctor — anything was fine, as long as it wasn't this chemical-filled location brimming with painful memories.Eva’s lips pressed into a thin line. “I don’t need your intervention.”His eyes narrowed, his irritation simmering just beneath the surface. “Don’t be stubborn—”“You’re a hypocrite,” she shot back before she could stop herself. Well, to some extent, she was hypocritical."Ehm, ehm……you demand me to not be stubborn, but here you are again, also being st

    Eva felt her heart ache at the tone of Damien's voice, so small and fragile, like that of a lost child. Her chest tightened with guilt for having pushed him to this point. Her logical mind chastised her for taking things too far, while her heart yearned to soothe and comfort him.“Will you do it again?” she asked softly, her fingers tracing gentle circles over his rough, calloused hands.Immediately, his hand shifted to clasp hers tightly, intertwining their fingers in a firm yet comforting grip. Her heart skipped a beat at the gesture, a tiny smile tugging at the corners of her lips.“I can’t promise you a definite no,” he admitted, his deep voice muffled as he rested his head on her shoulder. He breathed her in—the intoxicating, calming scent of jasmine filling his senses and clouding his mind. “But I will try my hardest to be lenient.”She paused, unsure how to respond. Sensing her silence, Damien tightened his hold on her fingers, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.“Are you sti

    Eva’s heart pounded as she searched for a way to diffuse his anger. She knew that escalating this tension would only make things worse. Desperate, she decided to play a different card—a gamble.“Tell me, how would you like to handle the consequences? Perhaps I should start with—" He was interrupted when she abruptly stepped forward, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. The suddenness of her action made him freeze in place.“What are you doing?" He blinked. "Damien," she murmured softly, her voice sweet and soothing. She pressed her face against his chest, rubbing her cheek against the silk of his shirt.His body stiffened, his clenched fists trembling at his sides. "This won't work," he said, though his voice had lost its sharp edge."I'm cold," she whispered, her words muffled against his chest."Eva," he warned, but his tone lacked conviction."Won’t you hug me?" She tilted her head up, gazing at him with wide, pleading eyes and a slight pout on her lips. Her heart ski

    After bidding Belle goodbye and promising her one last time that she would return tomorrow, Eva walked down the hospital halls with a spring in her step. A soft hum escaped her lips, her arms filled with snacks Belle had insisted she take. The little girl had brightened her day and made her feel less alone in the dreariness of the hospital."You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you sayI'm talking loud, not saying muchI'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochetShoot me down, but I get up," Eva softly sang, her favorite song playing in her mind as she strolled back to her room. She smiled, wondering if her friend Nathalie would enjoy the snacks she was carrying.“I'm bulletproof, nothing to loseFire away, fire awayRicochet, you take your aimFire away, fire awayShe was in such a good mood that she even gently danced along the hallway to her. “You shoot me down, but I won't fallI am titanium………..”“You shoot me down, but I won't fallI am titanium” a low voice suddenly com

    She paused, her mind flashing back to the countless fights, the shattered dishes, the cold silences that followed her every rebellion. "But I didn’t let their expectations control me. I chose my path, even when it meant walking away from them entirely." Eva let out a sigh, her gaze still focused outside the window. " I really loved it when I refused them, even though it would earn me being slapped senselessly. I always find pleasure somehow and I took pride in becoming the perfect, graceful black sheep of that damned family.” Belle hung on every word, her eyes wide with admiration and curiosity."But," She continued. “I only did it when I was a grown adult, legal enough to make my own choices. My plan wasn't perfect nor did it work in pleasing my family, but then again, why should I continue to please them when they were never family to me in the first place?" Eva gently moved her gaze back to Belle, leaning forward, "However, as someone who has gone through all that, you should k

    "So, Belle," Eva began, pulling a chair close to the bed and sitting down. "Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself? What brought you here to this hospital room?" Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the overflowing flowers and gifts surrounding the small child."I caught a fever a few days ago," Belle replied glumly, her voice quiet. Though it was just a fever, she’d been stuck in this hospital for a week. She felt fine now, but her parents insisted she remain."I'm all better now. Nothing hurts anymore. I just want to go home, but they won’t let me." Belle’s lips turned down in a bitter frown as she recalled how her parents refused her calls and ignored her requests to leave. Deep down, she knew they preferred her absence."Why not?" Eva asked softly, though she already sensed the answer."Because they hate me."Eva’s heart clenched at the words, so full of pain and resignation. She studied the young girl, who stared back with guarded eyes that looked far older than her years.

    Once the door shut, the girl turned her head slightly. "You can come out now."Eva pushed the gifts aside and slid out from under the bed. She straightened up, her gaze meeting the child’s lifeless, cold eyes. They lacked the innocent sparkle of youth."Why were those men chasing you? Who are you?" the girl asked, studying Eva intently. Despite her disheveled hair and rumpled gown, there was no mistaking the elegant air that surrounded her.Eva smiled faintly, deciding to test the girl’s intuition when she noticed how she was studying her. ‘Let’s see if you're smart. "Who do you think I am?"The child’s eyes narrowed. "You’re not a simple patient.""Oh? What makes you say that?""This is the VVIP floor, accessible only with a private keycard. Your gown is made of high-quality cotton, reserved for VVIP patients.""Well, I could’ve stolen the keycard and clothes," Eva countered.The girl’s gaze didn’t waver.
