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
“Oh my goodness, who is that beautiful woman? Who is she here to see?” One of the female students in the group of her friends whispered.“I know, right? She is so stunning. Look at her composure.” Another one whispered in support.“I wish I had a big sister like her waiting for me.” The girls gossiped as they walked past Eva to their car.Eva smirked at the comments she heard from the girls. They are still kids, so it's probably that they don't recognize her at all.Glancing at the watch again, she realized that she had been waiting for an extra five minutes and her presence was gaining too much attention which was starting to irritate her. “How long does that brat plan to stay hidden there before he comes out?” Eva mumbled silently to herself as she looked at the school gate. Eva sighted the small bench that was placed not too far from her so she made her way there and sat down while waiting for her brother. Since he had no idea that she was here, she can't blame him for keeping her
“So, if he hadn't called you, you wouldn't have come to see me?” Lucien glared at Eva angrily. He was secretly hoping that Eva had come to check up on him because she missed him but her presence now was due to the fact that Matthew called her.Eva sighed when she heard him. “I'm sorry, I haven't reached out to you for a while now, I have just been busy handling some business.” Eva apologized, feeling guilty for ghosting Lucien for the past few months. “You are not forgiven yet.” Lucien said with a straight face, even though he could tell that Eva was extremely sincere about her apology.“Come on, don't be so hard on me and forgive this sister of yours. How about I make it up to you, hm?” Eva suggested and Lucien turned to look at her with a curious expression. “What?” He asked.“Let me take you out for lunch. I've missed eating with you.” Eva had a smile on her face. If anyone was to see Eva at the moment, they would be surprised to see her having such an expression on her way, she
