Eva was startled when he hugged her and she was about to react not until she realized that it was Damien. "Mr. Cross, stop fooling around. I'm cooking meat….." She was unable to finish scolding him when he interrupted her. Damien turned off the stove, lifted Eva's chin and kissed her on the lips, "Don't worry about food, right now. I only want to eat you..." Eva let out a breath before she put down the kitchen utensils and turned around to hug Damien. She clumsily responded to his passionate kiss. She was mesmerized by his soft touch. Especially when he stared at her with his dark eyes, it was so alluring that she was infatuated. Damien’s kisses were intense and gentle as he moved down inch by inch. Finally, he stopped at her collarbone, "If I go any lower... I won't be able to control myself." "The meat... I'll continue cooking." Eva quickly left Damien before turning on the stove again to continue her unfinished work. Damien let out a gentle laugh as he patted Eva on the head
... After the night wind, it began to drizzle. After returning to Mark’s apartment, Christine couldn't contain her anger and smashed everything that could be smashed into smithereens. Especially when she thought about the fact that Eva had accepted the contract, her heart was filled with unwillingness. Before Mark arrived, Christine had already had the maid clear up the trash and mess she had made while she stayed cooped up in her room. As soon as Mark came back home, he asked the head maid for Christine when she didn't come down to welcome him like she usually did. “Master, the Madam has not stepped out of her room ever since she came back home. She didn't even have lunch as well." The head maid informed Mark who frowned upon hearing her. “You can go back to your work. I will check on her personally." Mark waved at the head maid, who bowed her head before taking her leave. Immediately he pushed open the door, Mark frowned by the scene in front of him. When he saw Christine sit
“You're right, even if she accepts a deal, what can she achieve? But still, I still can't accept this." Mark lifted her head with tears in her eyes, "She has dominated you for so many years, I will not let her off easily." He told her. " What are you going to do?” Christine asked, a bit curious to know what Mark was planning. " Just leave it to me. I will have to speak personally to President Adolf myself tomorrow.” He told her, not wanting her to worry about anything else. " Mark.” Christine suddenly called him. " Yes?” " Promise me that no matter what you won't leave me. I have a feeling that you might suddenly have feelings for my sister again seeing how she……” " What are you talking about, Christine?! Who gave you such an impression that I would have feelings for that wench?! I never had feelings for her when we were together so don't think about stupid things like that. I thought we already closed that chapter when I announced our engagement." Mark didn't let Christine fin
“Is that all?" Eva asked and sat up properly on the couch. “Yes." Kai simply nodded. “You've got to be kidding me Kaison Breaker! This was what you wanted to tell me and you couldn't tell me over the phone when you called me!" Eva couldn't help but shout at him in disbelief. “It's something important though." Kai casually replied. "Geez, why are you asking me things like this in the first place? Just pick a date since you're my boss and Chairman of the company.” She told him. "Good, I will tell Gwen to be prepared and you as well. We will be signing the contract next tomorrow with Bling corporation. Also Gwen has been working on your new schedule since you've accepted the deal, so prepare yourself to start working from now on.” Kai informed Eva. "I never knew a day would come when I would find the overly serious Kai cool like this." Eva said with a joking smile on her face. “Don't tease me Evangeline." He focused back on his work. "I won't anymore-" Eva was suddenly inter
Knowing fully well that Eva can do what she said, Matthew calmed down a bit. Yesterday, after Laura received a call from Christine, who told her mother everything that happened. Laura urged him endlessly to contact Eva and tell her to let go of the deal but he knew it was useless since Eva wouldn't agree. So he decided to call her and speak with her about the marriage idea Laura had brought up a few days ago. “Fine, tell me when you will come home? I have something I want to discuss with you.” Matthew asked, “Does this thing you want to discuss with me can’t be disturbed on the phone? If I remember correctly, none of our phone conversations had anything to do with us seeing each other.” Eva asked, finding why he wants to suddenly see her very weird. “We have to discuss it personally and it’s a face to face conversation?” Matthew replied, raising his voice a bit. “Is that so? Then I need you to tell me the importance of this discussion before I tell you when I will come?” She inqui
********** Eva personally drove herself to her destination which was none other than the Carter Corporation the next day. By the time she got there, she didn’t bother parking in the garage and pulled over in an empty space in the outdoor parking lot. She stepped out of the car fully dressed in a sleeveless , pleated midi- length navy blue gown with a brown long coat draped over her shoulder. Eva glanced at the building, which was none other than the Carter Corporation. There was a dull expression on her face , obviously not liking the idea that she was back here again. Just like the Johnson Corporation, she never had a good and memorable time when she used to secretly work for her father as well. “We are already here, Evangeline. There's no going back.” She mumbled to herself. Eva took a deep breath and walked to the entrance of the building. Just as she was entering the building, she unexpectedly bumped into someone by the entrance. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking at where I was
"My brother might be angry at you and me if he found out that I was the one that kept from meeting him. Don't worry, I will be staying longer in the city than I normally do, so I can wait till you can squeeze out time for us, my dear.” Brian gently said, not wanting to get into an argument with his older brother if he finds out. “Alright, I'll definitely find time in my schedule then." Eva didn't bother to push it further and agreed with him since he said he would stay in Miami longer than he usually does before. After insisting to walk Brian to his car, Eva finally made her way back to the building. The moment the receptionist in the lobby saw Eva, she quickly stood up and bowed her head at her since she knew who Eva was. She nodded her head to acknowledge the receptionist's greeting as she walked into the elevator. By the time she stepped out of the elevator when she got to the floor of her father's office she saw his secretary sitting behind his desk. “Good afternoon, Han. I
“You kept me waiting to chat with Brian? I knew this would happen when he kept asking for you." Matthew remarked, knowing that Brian was the person Eva was talking about. Somehow, he didn't like the fact that Eva was very much close to his younger brother than all his other siblings. “Trust me, he is one of the few people that is really worth my time.” She coldly replied. “But if you called me here to scold or talk about something irrelevant, it's not too late for me to take my leave now.” Eva added, just as she was about to stand up from her seat. "Sit down. I have something else to say.” Mathew waved at her. “Good, so tell me what was the important thing you asked to see me for?" Eva asked after she sat down back. “It's something that would benefit you greatly." Matthew told her but Eva wasn't convinced. Instead she had a scowl on her face when she heard him. “I think my coming here was a mistake. Whenever you say something that benefits me is not a good thing. If I remember co
