Damien glanced at Gwen briefly, his gaze carrying a sense of approval because, with her around, he would be rest assured no man could get close to Eva. So, without a word, he headed into the bathroom to shower. After seeing him leave, Gwen rested on Eva's arm, feeling drained from that little encounter with Damien as she spoke, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You made me embarrass myself in front of such an important person again!" She accused Eva. "I only found out last night when I returned to the room," Eva shrugged innocently. "Also, you didn't let me speak when I tried to explain.” She added. " That is no excuse. All you could have done is make me listen to you. Gosh!” Gwen retorted back. " Like you would even calm down to listen.” Eva muttered as she used her finger to push Gwen away. “Apart from that, let's be serious here. Did you realize how romantic Mr. Cross is to you?” Gwen quickly changed the topic and looked at Eva who raised one brow at her, obviously in disagreem
Because the entire commercial had no script and took up only 30 seconds, the models were required to get into the right emotional state really quickly. The scene they were about to film, was the one where Eva would be chasing. So, the expressions on her face had to show a sense of urgency; starting off looking hopeful and slowly changing to despair as she realizes she can’t catch up... The filming was about to start. Without the help of anyone, Tangning found her position in front of the camera...as soon as the slate clapped down, The original calm and collected Eva suddenly disappeared. In her place, stood an abandoned bride looking around helplessly searching. Her eyes reddened, but no tears fell out. Most importantly, after running, she was detailed enough to add in some panting…… Putting up such an act like this one wasn't as hard as everyone thought it would be for Eva. It was easy for her to pull it off because this was similar to what had happened to her at her wedding so she
Eva took the business card from the director’s hands, but refused politely as usual, "I am happy where I am right now." The director nodded his head in understanding with a gentle smile as he didn’t want to pressure Eva. "Even so, we will always welcome you." Eva thanked him and started to head towards Damien. But, Gwen suddenly rushed towards her holding out her phone exclaiming, "Just now, there was a woman called Trix that called, proclaiming she is the new manager HB industry has arranged for you. She also said, after you are finished with your shooting, you should return back to the country.” Gwen quickly informed Eva. “New manager? Why wasn't I informed about having another manager?" Eva asked. “According to what I know, I am still your manager but since you are now an ambassador for two companies in collaboration, you need someone picked by the two companies to put you through your work as an ambassador. Of course, I'm remaining as your manager now matter what." Gwen expla
"No, I just thought staying away from the company might be troublesome. Moreso, I'm working here and so should you as well. I don't want to be the reason you have to skip work.” Eva replied, making Damien frown while Gwen sighed. "You're more important than the company. I also came to work by checking on our company branch here.” Damien replied. Eva looked at him for a few seconds before she slowly nodded at him. After dropping Eva and Gwen off at the hotel, Damien headed directly back to the airport where his private jet was waiting for him. The moment Eva closed her hotel room door after bidding Gwen goodbye, her phone began to buzz in her pocket. She raised a brow when she saw who the caller was. “Grandfather?" She said, immediately she answered the call. “Evangeline Carter." George's voice rang out from the other side of the phone. “It's been a while now, Grandfather? Why did you call me?" Eva asked. " What do you mean? Why wouldn't I call you when it's been a while since
After making sure that George would not send someone to pick her up, Eva hung up the call and stood up from the couch. She headed to the bathroom to shower and rest since she still had some shoots to do tomorrow as well. ‘Geez, I never knew my work was this stressful and tiring until now.’ Eva thought. The first thing that Eva did when she left the office was to call Harry. She knew if visit George tomorrow he was definitely going to interrogate her about Harry. It's better lying to George over the phone but lying to him face-to-face is very difficult because he would figure it out. At least not when he knew that Eva was very close to her male cousins. She wanted him to know that she might not be able to keep lying to their grandfather so he should prepare himself. He picked up on the first ring but what greeted her was the sound of loud explosions and gunshots. "A squad is coming in from the South East. You guys provide cover fire while we go in this house and snipe." He shouted
"The best way to hide from someone is by staying right underneath them. I know you too well. Do you grandfather wouldn't have found all this month of you running if you were in other states? It's because you never left California that they can't find you.” She explained to him as she played with her hair. " You're really scared when you know my movements and how I think. But why did you want us to eat together all of a sudden?” He was impressed by how Eva figured his secret out but he was still suspicious about her. She chuckled. "Do I need a reason to invite a cousin to eat? Don’t be so skeptical of me." "I'm skeptical if it comes out of nowhere." He said, just as his stomach decided to grumble for food. He tilted his head to look at the empty pizza box that was on his desk and wondered whether he should maybe eat something healthier. "What? Two cousins can’t suddenly enjoy a good meal together?" Eva frowned a bit because she sounded suspicious, even to her own ears. "I just wan
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’m going grocery shopping right now. Want me to pick something up for you?" She lied. Although she was ready to get dressed and do some shopping for him since it was not completely late yet. "No need. I’m already eating as we speak." He told her. She sighed. "Tomorrow, you’re going grocery shopping with me. You need some nutrition in your body." She scolded and thought of his tall but incredibly lean frame. He was very skinny and pale. "Going to the grocery is so much work-" "I’ll pay you to go with me." She said, "Really? How much?" He gleefully asked, his eyes lighting up at the idea of making money. Eva chuckled at his enthusiasm. "How does a couple thousand sound?" There was a fond smile on her face as she teased him. "Pft! Are you kidding, just a couple thousand? I’m pretty sure you use a couple thousand as your toilet paper! How about something in the hundred thousand or Million?" She laughed at his greedy words. "If I want to remain ri
Her heart drummed in fear when she found her body unable to move and even the driver wasn't responding to her. She struggled to open her eyes, only to see a strange dispenser near the air conditioner vent. She looked at the rear view mirror and felt her heart drop when she saw the gas mask on the cab driver. ’What the hell was going on?’ She thought to herself. He turned the air conditioner to the highest setting which caused more wind to circulate around the car and the strange dispenser blew out more gas. Eva tried to focus, to fight against the suffocating fog enveloping her mind, but every thought slipped away like water through her fingers. Her eyelids fluttered as she strained to stay conscious. ‘Something is wrong. I need to get out of this car.’ The thought came with force, shaking the last remnants of her strength. However , no matter how she tried to fight, her body remained sluggish, unresponsive, and refused to cooperate with her. She glanced around the car through bl
