“Useless impatient child, don't tell me what to do. I haven't started my lecture on that rotten attitude of yours, you unfilial brat. With this attitude of yours you will ruin this family good name-” “Save that lecture of yours because it is already fifteen years late. Give that lecture to your second daughter, I have no spare time for bullshit like that.” Eva sniped back at Matthew, interrupting him yet again. Her words were like a sharpened dagger that pierced deeply into Matthew.“You…..you….” “Honey, please calm down. You have to consider your health, getting too worked up like this can affect you.” Eva heard Laura's high pitched voice underneath the call. “So he does have the witch of the west accompanying him, what an eyesore the sight of seeing both of them together would be.” Eva whispered silently to herself but her voice was loud enough for Matthew to hear her.Matthew gritted his teeth and forced himself to take a deep breath. He calmed himself down continuously remindin
“What?! You know how the manager would get if she heard you say that. Can't the place you have to go wait?” The assistant replied as she grabbed all the necessary things Nathalia would be needing on their way.“But-” “Nathy, it's okay…..you can go. We can still talk later.” Eva, who had been listening to their conversation quickly interrupted Nathalia who was about to say something else to make them cancel wherever they were going.“You need me right now, Eva.” Nathalia was hesitant to comply with what Eva said. She didn't care if refusing to go to where they had to go would mean losing and terminating her contract with the company. To her Eva was more important than the mere contract.“It's okay, now get going. I will feel very bad if you come here instead.” Eva replied, her heart warmed up at Natalia's gesture. She wishes she could just hug Nathalia like she normally did and she would be happy if Nathalia was here with her but she can't let leave her job for her.“Okay, but I promi
Judging by the way the child was dressed in designer clothes, Eva could tell that he must be a rich kid that got separated and lost from his people. ‘He must have gotten lost but that isn't any of my business. His people would be searching for him by now, it's only a matter of time before they find him.’ Eva thought as she turned her attention back to the road, wanting to ignore the kid because she wasn't in the mood to render help in her current situation. Eva waved her hand at the incoming cab in order to stop it, when the cab pulled over right in front of her. She opened the door to the back seat and was about to enter the cab but she decided to take one more glance at the direction of the child. Even though she wanted to ignore him, a part wanted to walk over and help him out since no one was paying attention to the kid sitting alone on the bench. ‘What if some very bad people try to take advantage of him .’ She thought as she looked at the child and unexpectedly, the boy also
When he saw Eva, he immediately ordered his driver to stop and parked the car. He stared at the shop entrance and as expected Eva walked out of the shop with a bag and her next destination was the bookstore. He frowned when she entered the bookstore, Eva wasn't the kind to read books. Although he had to give her credit she was a smart woman when it comes to handling business matters.It didn't take Eva a long time before she walked out of the bookstore waving at the shop owner with a smile on her face. She made her way to the roadside to wave at a taxi. The man was expecting her to stop a taxi but when he saw stopping and staring in another direction he too followed her train of sight and saw that she was staring at a kid sitting by the bench.He waited and watched if Eva was going to do anything but when she turned away, he smirked. ‘As expected, such a soulless woman, she can't even render help to the kid.’ He thought with a disgusted expression on his face.Seeing that Eva had stop
“Yes, he is my father's personal assistant.” The child nodded and answered to Eva's question.Hearing Eva voice the man turned to her direction and noticed that a woman was sitting beside the young master. “Ha, I'm sorry Miss. My attention wasn't at your side, you must be the Miss I spoke with earlier. Thank you very much for looking after the young master for us.” The man looked at Eva and bowed his head in gratitude at her. If not because Eva had called them, it was likely that they wouldn't be able to find the young master by now. “It's okay, I wasn't the one that found him. He was sitting here alone so I decided to call you and inform you. You guys should just keep a watch on him properly next time.” Eva remarked with a wave of her hand, she couldn't take the credits of what she didn't do. “Thank you, Miss. And on behalf of my Boss and the old master, please take this card and call our company tomorrow. We would like to compensate you for your help.” The man brought out a busine
“I knew that before I called you. Don't worry about me, I just need to know what happened to you that had you in such a bad mood this afternoon.” Nathalia stubbornly refused and urged Eva to talk.“It was nothing much, I just got into another annoying and frustrating conversation with Matthew Carter. He called to pester me about the date but the conversation didn't start or end in an easy way, I was a little bit pissed off that's why I called you but I'm over it now.” Eva briefly explained to Nathalia.“That bas……anyway when exactly it that date of ours?” Nathalia asked, she was about to call Matthew a ‘Bastard’ but she controlled herself. She knew how brain damaging it was whenever Eva spoke to him.Eva held back her laughter because she could imagine the kind of expression on Nathalia's face at the moment. It was good to have someone to have your back at times.“The date is tomorrow, but I have no idea when it was or where the date is set.” Eva replied.“What so quick, so you're goi
********Eva stared out of the car window, well dressed guests strutted in and out of the exquisite and luxurious hotel where a beautiful water fountain greeted the cars of the guests and a golden carpet was laid out on the ground.“Miss, we are there.” The driver announced them arriving at her destination.Eva nodded slightly and paid the driver his money before she opened the car and placed one foot out gently, then the other and climbed out of the car. At this point, it has always been a habit for Eva to always elegantly exit. The minute she exited the car, Eva was forced to remember her roots. No matter how far she runs, no matter how she changes for the better, no matter her current lifestyle, she will never be able to run and hide away from the fact that she would always be the eldest daughter of the Carter family.Stepping out of the taxi, Eva was beginning to garner the attention of a few onlookers. Because the hotel was really popular and famous among the socialites, the peo
Eva's head immediately snapped up and she peered at him innocently, like a naive dove. Seeing her reaction, Damien suddenly felt tense which stimulated him far too much.“Are you stalking me?” Eva gawked at him. This was the second time she was running into him, anytime she was outside.Damien rubbed his thumb across his watch, releasing a haunty breath. Eva stomach knotted at the sound, her heart skipping a beat when his lips curled up in slight amusement. “And what prospect do you have for me to stalk you?” Damien taunted, his voice smooth as silk but extremely cold as ice.The corner of her eyes twitched uncontrollably when she heard Damien's response. “Don't you have any other nice and creative lines?” Eva mumbled.Damien narrowed his gaze, sending chills down Eva's spine. Yet, her face went red when he tucked his hand inside the front pocket of his trouser, observing her.He stared intently at her outfit and he couldn't help but wonder what she was doing in a hotel, all alone, a
