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
Finally, Eva saw a small sign that pointed towards the hotel restaurant, she hurried down the corridor and skipped through the long line ignoring the stares that were thrown at her.“Good afternoon, Ma'am. Do you have a reservation?” The hostess at the front counter asked, offering the guest a professional warm smile. She had briefly skimmed through Eva's outfit, she has been working here for a while and could instantly smell money from afar. Right now, Eva seems to be made of it.“I don't.” Eva curtly replied. She had no idea who made the reservation, Laura didn't tell her anything about making a reservation. Her words immediately caused the women by the entrance to giggle and gossip. “Hah, I thought she was some big shot seeing her dress so expensively but she can't get in.” “The reservation wait-list here is two months, there is no way she can get in. Did she think this place is just some regular restaurant?” The women laughed to themselves, clearly not knowing who Eva was and he
“Sir, please let go of my hand.” Eva frowned and glared up at him.“Why should I? You always look like you're about to pounce me like a wild cat?” Damien mused. Eva unconsciously touched her face. ‘I plan on doing that if I don't get your hands on me!’ she thought when she realized that she had a scowl on her face.“Am I so handsome that you don't want to stay close to me?” Damien asked, his words were supposed to sound like a tease but he appeared as serious as a statue. Damien was not the kind to tease or crack jokes for someone, so everything that came out of his mouth was always serious.Eva blinked up at him. This arrogance he possessed was really starting to infuriate Eva. “Sorry to disappoint you, but you're so ugly and it hurts my eyes so much that's why I want to get away from you.” Eva replied bluntly as she stared directly at him, hoping that he would be discouraged by her words. Too bad for her, his eyes flashed with amusement. Damien was intrigued by her, not because of
“Evangeline, right?” The man remarked, revealing a gently friendly smile. Eva was a little bit surprised, because she was expecting the man Laura would set her up with would be bad tempered. However, this man seemed harmless, with his soft eyes, well-kept hair and handsome features. “My apologies, I should have waited for you by the door, instead of sitting down first.” Her blind date explained, placing a hand on his chest. “I’m sorry for the late introduction, my name is Lucas.” “Eva. Evangeline is too long.” Lucas smiled immediately widened when he heard Eva.“Is the restaurant not to your liking? How about we go to another place which you might find comfortable.” Lucas suggested, he had no idea why Eva wanted to leave the restaurant.Eva was appreciative that he didn't judge or get annoyed by the fact that she denied him earlier. She liked his manners and decided to humor Laura who had set the date. After all, she had a mission to come here . Besides, she was yet to bring out th
