*******

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

    …………… “Gwen, I'm done. I will be heading home now.” Eva informed Gwen. It's been a few hours since they arrived back at the company. And when they did, she went to tell Kai about what happened today at the HB Industry. Ever since they arrived, Gwen gave her a new task but thanks to Olivia's assistance she was able to complete it immediately. The only thing she wanted to do right now is head back home and rest. “What do you mean, you're leaving home. It's not yet time for you to leave." Gwen replied, gesturing to Eva to sit down but the woman ignored her and stood up. “I've already completed what you want me to do. As for this list, I will list the things I can do." Eva told her, while picking the list of things Gwen had listed for her to do. “Aren't you forgetting something before you leave?" Gwen asked, making Eva raise her brow suspiciously at her. “I'm pretty sure, I'm not forgetting anything. Don't try to use that trick on me, it's a waste of time.” She told her. " Fool. I

    The sound of glass shattering echoed through the luxurious hotel suite as Christine hurled a vase across the room. Her chest heaved with rage, her nails digging into her palms as she glared at the headlines flashing on her phone screen. Her latest scheme to ruin Eva’s reputation had backfired, and instead of dragging her sister through the mud, she had only strengthened Eva’s position. Every carefully placed trap had been countered, every lie had been exposed. Christine had never felt so powerless. Sitting on the couch, Tanya crossed her legs and sighed, watching Christine throw another decorative piece to the floor. She had been working with Christine for years now, and while she had always known that Christine despised Eva, it was becoming clear that this wasn’t just about competition anymore. ‘It was an obsession’ she thought. Tanya remained silent as Christine raged, knowing full well that any attempt to calm her down would only make things worse. Instead, she waited for the

    — That evening, Eva arrived at the mansion, feeling a strange sense of relief as she stepped inside. After staying in a hotel for so long, returning here felt like coming home—not just because of the place but because of who was waiting for her. She slipped off her heels and sighed, stretching her sore muscles. Just as she was about to call out, a deep, familiar voice came from the living room. “Took you long enough.” She turned and found Damien leaning against the doorway, watching her with that quiet intensity that always made her heart skip a beat. His sleeves were rolled up, his tie loosened, and despite the exhaustion she knew he must have felt from his long day, there was a softness in his gaze reserved only for her. A slow smile spread across her lips. “Miss me?” she teased, walking toward him. Instead of answering, Damien reached out and gently pulled her into his arms. His embrace was warm, steady—like an anchor. Eva let out a soft breath as she melted into his hold, re

    —-- Meanwhile, at Cross Enterprise, Damien was already aware of the situation. Sitting in his office, he scanned the online articles, his expression darkening. Christine had dared to attack Eva through the media, hoping to cause irreparable damage. Big mistake. Damien didn’t tolerate anyone trying to harm what was his. Without hesitation, he placed the tablet down and looked at Eric. “Tell the PR team to shut it down,” he ordered. “And make sure every major outlet retracts the story and destroys whatever companies are involved in this scandal.” Eric frowned slightly when he heard his boss. Again he was trying to protect Eva all again. However, he couldn’t voice out his displeasure so he quietly nodded his head. “Yes, sir.” Within an hour, the suspicious articles started disappearing. Gossip blogs that had been flooded with scandalous headlines were suddenly quiet. Comments under posts were being flooded with contradictions. The narrative was crumbling before Christine’s eyes.

    For the past few days, Christine had kept a low profile, following Tanya’s advice to wait for the right opportunity. Her previous schemes had failed miserably—each attempt to sabotage Eva had only backfired, making Eva look even more poised and untouchable. But Christine wasn’t the type to accept defeat.If she couldn’t surpass Eva professionally, then she would tear her down personally.Her mother, Laura, had been the one to plant the idea in her mind. "If you can’t win on the battlefield they’ve chosen," Laura had told her, "then change the game. Make them play on your terms."And that was exactly what Christine intended to do. This time, she wouldn’t just aim for petty sabotage—she was going to destroy Eva’s reputation completely.…………Early in the morning, Eva’s phone buzzed non-stop.Gossip sites, entertainment blogs, and even major media outlets were exploding with headlines:"Supermodel Eva Caught in Scandalous Affair with HB Industry CEO!""Is Eva Using Her Influence to Secure

    Meanwhile, Eric, who had been silently watching the interaction, let out a small scoff. “So this is what I wasted my time for?” he muttered under his breath.Gwen immediately shot him a glare. “Excuse me?”Eric smirked slightly, shoving his hands into his pockets. “You barged in here like it was urgent, but all you’re doing is dragging her out for a photoshoot?”“Oh, I’m so sorry,” Gwen said mockingly. “I forgot you were Mr.Cross's bodyguard and not his secretary. If it bothers you so much, maybe you should have stayed outside instead of following me in.” she said, though she knew that he was Damien's secretary but still said that to irk him.Eric chuckled darkly.’This crazy human being.’ “Believe me, I wouldn’t be here if someone didn’t insist I help her get past the receptionist.”“I did not beg—” Gwen started before cutting herself off, clenching her fists. “You know what? Forget it. I don’t have time to argue with an overgrown ice cube.”Eva, who had been watching the entire exch

    Eva leaned back against the couch, patting her stomach in satisfaction. "I have to say, I really outdid myself picking that restaurant," she mused.Damien, who was already sitting behind his desk, raised a brow. “You outdid yourself? All you did was order the food. I don’t remember you being the one who actually cooked it.”Eva scoffed, sitting up straighter. “Excuse you, do you know how much effort it took to pick the best dishes from that menu?”Damien smirked. “Oh, I’m sure scrolling through a menu and pointing at things was exhausting.”Eva gasped, placing a hand over her chest dramatically. “Wow, Damien. I put all this effort into making sure my husband doesn’t starve, and this is the appreciation I get?”Damien let out a chuckle, the warmth in his gaze betraying his otherwise teasing expression. “Your husband could have easily ordered lunch himself, you know.”Eva narrowed her eyes. “Really? Because from the looks of it, you were buried under so many files that you probably woul

    Gwen strode into Cross Enterprise’s grand lobby, her heels clicking sharply against the polished marble floor. She just got back from where she had told Eva she was going and had tried calling Eva multiple times, but as expected, Eva was too busy flirting or whatever she was doing with Damien to answer her phone.Glancing at the time, Gwen muttered under her breath. “If she doesn’t come out now, Victoria’s going to have my head.”With no other choice, she let out an exasperated sigh, and approached the receptionist’s desk.“I’m here to see Mr. Cross,” she said, adjusting the strap of her handbag. “Let me through to the top floor.”The receptionist, a young woman with perfectly styled hair and an unbothered expression, simply smiled. “I’m sorry, miss, but you don’t have an appointment. I can’t let you in.”Gwen blinked, momentarily taken aback. “What?”The receptionist gave her a polite but firm look. “Without an appointment, I can’t let you through. Company policy.”Gwen narrowed her

    As Damien led her to the couch, Eva suddenly halted, making him turn with a questioning brow.“You know,” she mused, tilting her head with mock seriousness, “before you interrupted me, I was actually offering a very expensive consultation service.”Damien crossed his arms, amusement twinkling in his dark eyes. “Oh?”Eva nodded, tapping her chin as if in deep thought. “Yes, I used to charge companies millions for my insights. So technically… you owe me.”Damien let out a low chuckle, stepping closer. “Let me get this straight,” he said, his voice rich with teasing authority. “You walked into my office, sat in my chair, went through my documents without permission—and now you’re asking me to pay you?”Eva grinned. “That’s business, Mr. Cross. Nothing is free.”Damien smirked. “And what if I refuse to pay?”Eva pretended to think, then shrugged. “Then I guess I’ll take my brilliant mind elsewhere.”Damien’s eyes darkened slightly, but he played along. “That would be a shame.

    Minutes passed, and Eva quickly grew bored.She had been in Damien’s office many times, but she still found herself looking around. It was immaculate and organized, but it lacked anything personal. Nothing in this room screamed Damien—except for the towering stacks of documents and reports on his desk.Her eyes narrowed as she walked over, running her fingers lightly over the ridiculous amount of paperwork.“No wonder he barely has time to eat.” She muttered, shaking her head.The sight of his overwhelming workload triggered a familiar ache in her chest. She remembered her past—being buried in work, managing her father’s company alongside Mark. She had spent countless nights drowning in documents, starving herself to meet deadlines, and yet… no one had cared. Neither her father nor Mark had ever asked if she had eaten.Her fingers clenched slightly against the papers.She had left that life behind, yet here Damien was, doing the same thing to himself.Determined to help him, Eva sat i
