“What sort of response is that? Did you even use your brain before you speak to me?” Matthew remarked.Eva raised a brow at his remark, she wasn't even offended at all by his insult. In fact, she was a little bit glad that Matthew was burning up in rage which she found more satisfying than the food she was eating. She grabbed the glass of orange juice and took a sip out of it. “What response were you anticipating? Were you expecting me to tell you that we had a great time and it seems like my date took interest in me? Father, gone were those days when you force me to go on business dates for you and impress your business partners for you. If you want the full details of what happened yesterday at the date, why don't you ask Laura to call my date and ask for the information since she was the one that set me up with him, or maybe you were the one that instructed her to pick Lucas asy date since you're quite close with his family.” Eva replied in a cold and dry tone. She was already sic
Damien frowned when he heard his grandfather, he knew this was the reason why the old man was calling him endlessly. They have both been on this marriage issue for a very long time and this matter was also the cause of why Damien has refused to go to visit his grandfather or even call him on a regular basis.Whilst Damien was thinking about this, his mind wandered off to yesterday when he offered Eva the marriage deal and she refused it. ‘Could it be that she already has a man?’ he thought and remembered that Eva indeed had a date with another man yesterday. He made a mental note to instruct Shane to do some research about the man Eva went to meet yesterday. Putting that aside, he turned his attention back to his grandfather.“Is this all of the reason why you're calling me?” He asked.“This is an important matter…..you ignorant brat! Don't you dare hang up the call!” The old man warned him. He knew that Damien was capable of doing such a thing.Damien raised his brow at his grandfat
When Laura realized what the nannies she hired did, she couldn't let the news that she wasn't being a good mother out to the public. She performed one of her dirty tricks among other high class ladies and told the lies that Eva was the one that made those nannies act that way because she was jealous that she was the one that gave birth to an heir. It was since then, Eva had been branded as an evil jealous grill till today where she was known as a spiteful woman in the society. Because Eva's nanny was the one that took care of the baby, Eva grew closer and fond of the child. She even treated him like her real brother, despite the fact that she didn't like his mother. When Eva was fifteen years old, the child was already eight years old and unfortunately their nanny died of lung cancer. It was also at that time Eva started her modeling career so she was always around much to take care of the kid any longer except for the times she spent with him any time she went to pick him up from
“Haha…..you make it sound like I'm your housewife.”. Eva joked at her, making Nathalia pout her face. She stood up from the couch and grabbed the shopping bags before she made her way to the kitchen. “It isn't a bad thing for me to miss my best friend cooking. I'm glad that you didn't waste your time at home without doing something.” Nathalia retorted as she also grabbed the rest of shopping bags on the chair and followed behind Eva to the kitchen.“Like what?” Eva' asked, her back facing Nathalia as she was busy watching the vegetables that she had bought.“Of course, cooking.” Nathalia responded, walking closer to Eva and hugged her from behind while wrapping her arms around Eva's waist.Eva chuckled at Nathalia's gesture, if someone were to see them like this, they would actually misunderstood that they both Eva and Nathalia were lovers. Eva didn't bother to stop Nathalia because she was already used to it and she also acted that way whenever she was with Nathalia.“Now that you d
“How is the old man?” Damien questioned, referring to his grandfather.as he followed Philip who was leading the way to his grandfather.“What do you expect, young master? He is fine….apart from missing you since you haven't visited in a long time now.” Phillip truthfully informed him.“I see…..he is not a kid that needs my attention.” Damien muttered.“Haha…..at this age young master, we elderly people need a lot of attention because we are at the stage where we feel that we would leave this world soon, so we are always happy to have our kids and grandchildren around at all times.” Phillip chuckled as he lectured Damien.Steve Steel was the oldest employee in the Cross household and his family had also served the family the longest. Steve came from a rich family- the Steel family which was one of the richest second-tier families in California. However, they have also served the Cross family for generations. Since Steve had decided to continue serving the Cross family, he had one of hi
“What do you mean by that, Damien?” Thomas asked while looking at Damien, same with both Sophia and Howard.“It's not possible for me to find a spot for her in the company.” Damien replied with a cold tone.“How isn't that possible? Sophia has been working abroad for more than a year plus. I believe she has good potential and the most important fact is that she is the daughter of my acquaintance.” Thomas stated, hoping that this information he just said would be enough to change Damien's mind. Although this was the first time he would be interfering or asking Damien to do something like this, he had to because he was hoping that Sophia would become his future grand-daughter-in-law one day. So all this effort was to benefit him in the future.“She might be your friend's daughter, but no preferential treatment will be given to her, so if she wants to work in the company she has to go through the normal procedures. There are other people more befitting for the spot she would be taking in
After spending the rest of the whole time with Eva, Nathalia decided to take leave when it was already late. She would have preferred to stay over but she had to make sure she was home because she had work to do the next day and her Manager- Sarah would skin her alive if she found out that she wasn't at home.Eva closed the door after Nathalia left, she glanced at the mess in the living room and decided to ignore it for the next day because she was already tired from the long day.She fell lazily on her bed and dozed off to sleep.********The next morning, Eva was woken up by the sound of her familiar ringtone next to her. Groaning and grumbling under her breath, she wondered why the people didn't let her sleep. With sleep weighing her down, she rumbled through the bedside table and picked up her phone at the last ring.“Hello……?” Eva's groggily answered, barely able to keep her eyes open.“Gasp! Why do you only pick up on the last ring? Why not first or second? Don't tell me you're
“I almost forgot to tell you this, Boss. I received a message this morning.” Shane announced as he looked at Damien.For the first time since Shane had entered the office, Damien raised his head up to look at Shane. “Tell me.” He ordered.“I received a call and some documents of ownership were sent to me this morning?” Shane stated. A deep frown appeared on Damien's face when he heard Shane. “Ownership of what?” He asked.“A yacht.” Shane wasted no time and revealed it to Damien. “And there is no other information about the person who had bought the yacht.” Shane added on.Damien was silent for a while as he was in a deep thought. However, Shane was confused why his Boss had been silent, without anyone telling him who was behind the yacht he had his hunch that it was none other than Eva who had bought the yacht in return to the house and flowers Damien had sent to her the previous day.Shane couldn't help but secretly admire Eva's courage to go head to head with his Boss. No one ever
