“Ah, yes?” Eva muttered, snapping out of her thought. “I'm afraid I would not be able to entertain you on another date.” She remarked as she looked at Lucas.“Then how about you let me entertain you on the date instead.” Lucas insisted. “I don't think either can work.” Despite that it was a tempting offer, Eva had to decline realizing that this blind date could eventually lead to an unfortunate marriage which would definitely ruin all of her plans.“I'm sorry-” “Please, I totally understand so you don't have to apologize.” Lucas cut off Eva and reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card, stretching his hand over the table handing it to her. “Incase you ever change your mind, Miss Carter. You will know where to find me.” Lucas said amicably.Eva stared at the card, his name was branded on the card as the CEO of his father's law firm. She wasn't a fool, she knew who Lucas was, knew that he was among the most obtainable, eligible bachelors and she knew how many young femal
The waiter's face suddenly lights up in relief at Eva's response, he could eventually save his life and job. Without bothering to delay any further, so that Eva doesn't change her mind. The waiter immediately turned and walked into the direction of the restaurant where Damien was waiting for her while Eva just silently followed behind him.The waiter led Eva to the third restaurant which was considered as the restaurant only top elite families in the country visit. Only the highest class and most influential families!Once inside, she was immediately welcomed with a soft and soothing melody played on a piano. She suddenly felt like she was indeed out-of-place in her clothes when she saw the long dresses that people wore inside. She knew that she can't turn back now and so, she sighed internally and continued to follow the waiter who went upstairs where the private room was located.After walking for a few meters, the attendants finally stopped and turned to face Eva. He bowed respect
“What exactly do you want from me, Mr. Cross?” The question made Damien's brow rise and even had Shane jaw drop open. Instantly, the temperature in the room dropped. All the staff in the room turned pale as they found themselves shivering in fear and horror, thinking of wanting to immediately get out of this place before the great Damien exploded and lash out his anger on them. Some of them gulped nervously, some broke out in cold sweat and some were even trying so hard not to breathe too loudly so that they didn't get the attention of Damien.No one has ever questioned Damien what he wants from them because he is not the person to want something from anyone, talkless a woman for that matter. It was always the other ways round, everyone always wanted something from Damien Cross.Eva didn't seem to notice the dangerous face the man was giving her as he stared piercing at Eva's beautiful face.“Out,” Damien's cold voice sounded, it was soft yet it was enough for all the people inside
“Do you feel that there is a need for me to be afraid of you?” Eva retorted back as she looked up at him.“But you've offended me by accusing me for abusing my power on you.” Damien replied calmly.“That……” Eva trailed off, she didn't know how to retaliate back to those words because she had indeed accused him.“Fine! I'm sorry. I'm sorry for accusing you without having proof of evidence.” Eva apologized looking away from Damien in embarrassment. she had lost her cool for a second and accused him wrongly.“That's not how to apologize.” Damien uttered casually with a serious expression. Eva swiped her head up to look at him like he was crazy. “What? How do you expect me to apologize? Isn't giving you my innocence the other enough for you?” Eva queried while glaring at him, implying that giving up her virginity is enough to cover up all the mistakes she has made to him.“What do you mean by that?” Damien asked.“Ah, it wasn't my fault that I was in your room that day. And since you too
“Let go,” Eva stated coldly, her eyes shining with clear determination.“If I don't?” Damien whispered.Eva found his voice very seductive making her ears turn red even more. Meanwhile, Damien was rather clueless yet curious to know the reason why she was turning red because he was close to her. With this thought in his mind, he spoke. “Look at me.” he ordered.“No.” An immediate response came out of Eva's mouth. “Why are you doing this, Mr. Cross?” After taking a deep breath to calm herself, Eva looked at Damien. “We haven't finished our conversation yet so you can't leave.” Damien responded. “What? What conversation isn't over yet? I thought we'd finish this discussion the moment I stood up, so why are you stopping me from leaving?” Eva questioned back, confused by what Damien was saying.“We aren't. Let me remind you that the discussion we are having is about me taking responsibility.” Damien whispered gently.“Argh…..I told you already that it isn't needed.” Eva growled in anno
When Eva walked out of the main hotel exit, she realized that it was already late outside, so she made her way to the road side where she waved her hand to stop a taxi. She told the driver her destination after taking her seat in the back seat. Eva looked outside of the car window, watching the people walking in the streets and light flickering of different colors adoun the street lamps and different buildings as they drove past. Some of the people she laid eyes on were walking alone, some with their kids and some were in the arms of their lovers. It was such a beautiful sight that Eva wanted to have but she didn't have the chance to get. Eva had always wanted a complete family, she so badly wished for a loving family one that her mother couldn't have. However,.things went south for her, because the man she expected to help her make her dream of having a beautiful loving family actually betrayed her without a second thought.The car stopped at the red light, making Eva scan the crowd
After 30 minutes of silent driving, they finally arrived at her destination. Eva paid the cab driver his money before she got out of the cab and made her way to the entrance of the building. The moment entered the lobby she was immediately greeted by the two receptionists sitting behind their desks. They were also the same ladies Eva had encountered the day she went to take the delivery box she received from Damien. Eva quirked a brow at the gesture of the two ladies, because of the smile on the face of both ladies. But then she ignored them and made her way to the elevator, she didn't see the elevator hostess but she still entered the elevator.The elevator dinged, indicating that Eva had reached the floor she was heading to, so she stepped out of the elevator and made her way to her apartment door. After entering her security password, she opened the door to enter her apartment.However, the next thing Eva saw in her house made her eyes widen in bewilderment and shock. ‘Did I ente
A few minutes later, Eva stepped out of the bathroom wearing a blue pyjamas and tying her hair up in a bun. She made her way to the out of the room to the kitchen to grab some water to drink. After pouring herself a glass of water and drinking to her heart content, Eva was about to leave the kitchen when she spotted her living and saw how messy they actually were due to the annoying rose flowers that were in the living room.A scowl appeared on her face, feeling pissed again at the sight before she walked back into her room. ******The next morning.Eva called the receptionist on the first floor and ordered them to hire a few cleaners to come come and clear out the mess in her apartment because she couldn't spend another day seeing those flowers lieing around on her floor. After some mintues later, the cleaners came up to her apartment and she went out to open the door for them in order for them to cleaning up the trash.It took at least six cleaners to get rid of all the roses.
