Eva balled her hand into a fist when he mentioned her mother in such a disregarding tone. She felt anger slowly burning in her as the urge to lash back at Matthew creeped up in her. However, Eva took a deep breath to calm herself, since she knew that both Matthew and Laura would be expecting some kind of reaction from her and she didn't want to give them that joy to enjoy. “At least you admit that I'm good looking.” Eva didn't even blink at Matthew only to remark shamelessly.“You…….why are you even here? What are you doing here?!” Matthew yelled loudly. He can't understand why Eva wasn't fazed by what he just said, he wasn't expecting her to have such a shameless side in her. Could it be that she doesn't care about her mother anymore and using her mother to irk her up does not work on her again?“Can't I come back to my house anymore? Whether you like it or not, father, I'm still the eldest daughter of this family and household so I have every right to be here.” Eva replied calmly.
Lucien opened the card and began reading it without waiting for any one.‘To the girl with the most unique personality I have ever met.’ Lucien read from the card that sent Laura paling with confusion and then realization. Lucien ignored the expression on Laura's face and continued to read the rest of the words in the card much to his mother's grievance. ‘Although it's a little bit late to send a gift, I really enjoyed our previous date and I'm looking forward to having another date with you very soon. Yours truly, the desperate heir.’Silence engulfed the entire room, immediately Lucien finished reading what was written in the card. No one said a single word and every pair of eyes snapped their attention towards her at the same time as if they already knew the truth.Eva's eyebrow also shot up in amazement, when she heard all the things that Lucien had read out. She was expecting the content in the letter to be Matthew's sappy words to Laura since she claimed that it was a gift from
“Are you about to leave?” Eva asked, because that was the only reason why he would be in the room.“Yes, the driver is waiting outside for me.” Lucien replied.“Alright, let's get going.” Eva muttered as she grabbed her hand bag ready to go out of the room.“Why are you coming with me?” Lucien asked with a frown on his face.“Simply because I want to see my younger brother off to school. Let's go.” Eva smiled at Lucien before walking to the door.“You creep me out whenever you smile like that.” Lucien commented as he followed behind Eva, who smirked at his statement.Both Eva and Lucien walked out of the house and entered the car that was waiting for them. Eva already guessed that Matthew must have left for company since she didn't see him again downstairs when both she and Lucien walked out.Eva pulled out her phone from her handbag and decided to check the internet to see whether the scandalous picture of both her and Damien had already been taken down from the internet. And just as
Although Damien never ordered him to keep tabs on Eva's every move and report to him, Shane felt like he should let Damien know what she was doing now since it was obvious that Damien seemed to be interested in Eva. This was the first time he had seen Damien interested in a woman ever since he had known Damien. He was also sure that if Damien's grandfather who was none other than the patriarch of the Cross family heard about this sudden change in Damien, a smile would grace his old wrinkled face. Shane made up his mind to help out his boss to win Eva for him even though he got rejected.Damien paused for a few seconds when he heard Shane report without raising his head up from the file he was going through. He hadn't asked Shane to report such things but he still found the information quite useful to him at the moment.Shane waited for a few extra minutes hoping that Damien would say anything but it was futile because Damien didn't raise his head or utter any word as he only focused o
“Plans? What plans do you have? Besides, who was that beautiful lady that came to see you yesterday? I've never seen her before.” A young girl who had also been listening to the conversation between Lucien and his friend quickly buttressed into the conversation with curiosity. She was among one of the girls that were following Lucien yesterday.Lucien glanced at her for a few seconds with a blank expression on his face. “And why should I answer that question?” He replied coldly with a question.The girl was flustered when she heard Lucien's response. Though she was curious to know who Eva was to Lucien, she was secretly jealous of the fact that Lucien actually ditched them yesterday because of Eva.“I-” She was suddenly interrupted by the school bell. Lucien didn't say anything else as he slung his school bag over his shoulder and strutted out of the classroom.When his friend saw him leaving the classroom, they quickly stood up from their seats also and followed behind Lucien.Outsid
“You should have urged me no matter how hard I tried to not listen.” Eva groaned. “And would you listen if I was persistent?” Lucien questioned. He had purposely stayed behind with Eva today, because he was already expecting this situation.Eva snorted, it was true she wouldn't have listened nonetheless if he was persistent. “Whatever.” Eva groaned and eyed Lucien's suit jacket and a sly smile creeped up on her face.She turned her head and saw a light blue Porsche 718 Cayman pulling over the pavement leading towards where they were standing. Realizing that she didn't have much time to go back inside and change out of this dress- not that she was going to change it easily without arguing with Laura. Eva turned to look at Lucien who was also staring at her with a suspicious gaze. “Give me your clothes, Lucien." Eva demanded. "I knew you were up to no good when that creepy smile appeared on your face. But thanks, I can't give you my clothes, they would smell like you.” Lucien looked
When she returned back home, Eva made up her mind and decided to ask Lucien the reason why he disliked Lucas on first meeting quickly. Right now, without uttering another word for bothering to look back, Eva entered the car and sat down in the passenger seat. immediately, she took her seat. The scent in his car made her swallow the words of appreciation she was about to utter. “Smells of sunflowers.” Eva silently mumbled.“I heard that they are your favorite flowers, so I branched into a flower shop and got some for you.” Lucas said, flashing Eva a quick smile before starting the car.Eva frowned at his comment before she spoke. “Who did you hear it from?" she questioned.“A little birdie told me." Lucas replied with a teasing smile on his face. Eva blinked, the little birdy he meant was either her father or Laura. She expected as much. Eva turned her head and glanced out the window, she thought Laura was the one that went ahead and set her up with another blind date, however, it tu
Eva suddenly felt a little bit uncomfortable as she stared at her surroundings. They just had to be in a place where she had secretly sold most of her paintings to. Fucking hell! Nobody, not even her father except for Nathalia and Lucien knew that Eva had secretly sold most of her paintings she had done in her spare time to the museum. Nobody knew the identity of the infamous artist of her paintings.Never once had she visited this place because it was the place she sold her paintings and it would feel weird so she always visited other big museums whenever she had nothing to do but thanks to Lucas who had brought her here she had no choice. She can briefly sense that he was trying to please her with her favorite things but it really isn't working at all on Eva. “It's not enough." Eva finally replied to him. However, Lucas was confused by what Eva meant. He wasn't sure if Eva was indicating that the location of the date wasn't enough for her.Eva glanced at him and saw the confused e
