"Oh, hi, Eve. I was just talking to Sofia about you," greeted Mrs. Daphne, who welcomed Eve into her office.

The woman glanced at the clock on the wall that didn't show the break time for regular employees, so she thought Eve must have an urgent business this time. Was Gery making things difficult for her again? Mrs. Daphne wondered to herself.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. But I dared to come here again because Mr. Gery is making trouble again. Mr. Gery fired Dave because Dave briefly chatted with me in the corridor. I don't think that's a mistake worth punishing so severely, Ma'am." Eve babbled on what she had come to the room.

Mrs. Daphne seemed surprised to hear the news.

"Oh my! What happens to that child?" Mrs. Daphne complained later. She had to sit back on the sofa to calm herself down because acting out her emotions would not suit her heart health.

With Sofia's entrance, Mrs. Daphne told her assistant to call Gery. However, she was even more surprised to find Sofia's response.

    Gery was quite angry when he learned Eve once again complained to her grandma about Dave's dismissal. However, before he could confront his grandma for being too kind to give Dave a job in another division, he was already preoccupied with the amount of work left behind by his former assistant. Sofia immediately reminds him that he needs to find another assistant to replace Dave. And the woman who had been considered like her own family by Gery even ignorantly proposed Eve's name. Meanwhile, Mrs. Daphne kept quiet and watched her grandson's reaction, pacing back and forth in confusion. "How about asking Miss Eve to take Dave's place, Sir?" suggested Sofia. Of course, Gery was flabbergasted. "Oh, my God! Don't ever mention that name in front of me, Sofia. Otherwise, from now on, I will stop considering you as a wise counselor!" Gery sarcastically scolded. Sofia let out a long sigh. "But finding a competent assistant is not that easy, Sir. You'll be in trouble if you don't get a rep

    "Good afternoon Eve. Please take a seat. I've been waiting for you," Mrs. Daphne replied.Eve drew her lips into a smile despite the pounding in her chest, wondering what Mrs. Daphne had for her that day.She then sat before the Madame, trying to make herself comfortable. Sofia soon returned with a tray of cold drinks for her."Thank you very much, Mrs. Sofia," Eve said as she sipped her drink. It was enough to cool her throat and hopefully cool her down. God, next time she would have to thank Sofia specifically because the woman often saved her from uncomfortable moments without even being asked.A moment of silence reigned. Mrs. Daphne seemed to wait until Eve had finished her cold drink, and then she spoke up."Are you busy in your division, Eve?" the Madam asked to start the conversation."Yeah, quite a lot, Ma'am. Mrs. Jenni has given me a lot of assignments since day one, and I haven't even touched some of the files because there are so many, hehe." Eve was immediately provoked

    "Oh, my! Does it have to be right now, Sofia?" asked Gery as she cast an unhappy glance at Eve's presence in his room."I told you that, Mrs. Sofia. He would have refused," Eve said softly from behind Sofia's body."Sir, this is Mrs. Daphne's order. Besides, I think you need Miss Eve's help right now. Just look at that," Sofia replied as she pointed to the pile of files that Gery had just taken from Dave's room.Gery had been looking for data to present at the upcoming meeting but needed to know where Dave kept it. As a result, he had to look for it among all the piles, with no clue at all. And that gave him a headache! Yes, the fact was that he needed help immediately. But from Eve? Oh no!"If you mind, I can go back to Mrs. Jenni with great pleasure," Eve said, hoping Gery would agree.Gery then turned to Eve and gave her a piercing look, "Oh, you won't be happy if you stay here, huh? Okay, Sofia. Then leave her here. I'll try to see what she's capable of." Gery decided as he said t

    In the afternoon before work, Mrs. Daphne deliberately went to Eve's room to inform her directly of the invitation. "Eve, can you come to our residence tonight?" asked Madame Daphne after being in the small room where Eve worked. "Wh-what, Madam? To Madame's residence? But what for?" asked Eve, surprised at the sudden invitation. Come on, going to Gery's house, boss she hated? Impossible! "I invited you to have dinner with us, me and Gery. We need to get to know each other better so we can work together better," Mrs. Daphne replied, accompanied by Sofia. Sofia didn't say anything this time. But it was evident that she was one of the initiators of Madame Daphne's plan. Eve's brain immediately thought about what excuse she could use to refuse the invitation. A refusal that wouldn't offend the boss who had helped her so much, of course. But not a single reason came to mind. Unusually, her brain felt suddenly dull this time, and she could not come up with any ideas. "I'll take your re

    "Who's outside?" Mr. James asked his wife as a luxury car pulled up in front of their gate. Since Eve didn't have a house attendant, Mrs. Kate rushed to open the door for the guest."That's the driver from the Foster family, the boss at Vinestra. You know, our daughter was invited to dinner by Mrs. Daphne, the owner of Vinestra," Mrs. Kate replied with a proud smile.Mr. James furrowed his brow, "Wow, can that be so, huh? To be picked up in such a luxurious car," said her husband in surprise."Well, let's just pray Eve doesn't make any trouble. You know she can't be restrained. And her young boss is quite authoritarian, it seems. I'm afraid Eve will be rude to them," Mrs. Kate complained, still worried about Eve's attitude there."I think Eve will be able to care for herself, Kate. Don't worry about it," comforted Mr. James, then paused to smile at his daughter, who was now heading towards them."Ready for your special dinner, Sweety?" asked Mr. James pleasantly.Eve nodded her head b

    After dinner, Eve had passed off blandly due to her curiosity. Madame Daphne took her on a tour of the large room inside the second hallway that led to the private family's rooms. When the door was opened by the servant who had followed them, Eve was greeted by seeing an entire wall full of Foster family photos. The living room and dining room also had a magnificent frame hanging with pictures of the Foster family. Still, there was only one in each room, while in this one, there were so many that Eve could hardly count them, even if she tried to count them quickly with the tail of her eye. Every moment seemed captured in a photo, then framed in a fancy frame, and placed there as the last memory left by Gery's parents and his late grandfather. "This is where the memories of the entire Foster family are kept, Eve. We were destined to have limited descendants. My grandmother only had one son, namely my father. And my mother only gave birth to me. Even my daughter only had one son, that

    The story of Gery's past also touched Eve. She let out a long sigh and tried to hide her sympathy because she didn't want to be considered too easy to change her feelings. But, when Madame Daphne told the sad story, Eve's defenses instantly collapsed. She immediately felt so sorry for Gery's fate. She seemed to understand the change in his attitude after experiencing those two super heartbreaking moments. "He was only a little more cheerful when he met Cheryl. The pretty girl from his school. She was often the reason for Gery's happiness when he told me about his moments at school." Mrs. Daphne said. Eve continued to listen intently to the exciting story. She began to see how Gery's past personality was. "Until college, they continued to choose the same place to study. In fact, Cheryl's parents and I had agreed to marry the two of them when they graduated from college," Mrs. Daphne continued, trying to play her memories chronologically so that she could tell the story in detail an

    "Don't just say you're close to my grandma; you can do whatever you want here. Get on with your work!" Gery reprimanded Eve, who was chatting briefly with a friend in the office corridor. Eve was wide-eyed with embarrassment at being reprimanded in front of other employees. She was just asking about a file she needed to support her work. However, when she denied that, he could not because after reprimanding Eve arbitrarily earlier, Gery immediately walked away, leaving Eve with a red face that was half embarrassed and half angry. "I want to beat him up!" Eve cursed. Her coworker giggled, "Do you dare Mr. Gery?" she sneered. "Why be afraid of such an arrogant man like that! I'm not afraid as long as I don't do anything wrong," Eve replied firmly. "Well, I also know you're close to Mrs. Daphne. Of course, you're brave. Your protector is amazing, haha." Again, her companion sneered. Eve then rolled her eyes and chose not to continue arguing with her coworker. She grabbed the file s

    "Pranggg ....!"The loud sound of a glass being thrown to the floor filled the hearing of the residents of the Andrew family. A woman came out of the kitchen with hurried steps. She was the maid at Cheryl's house. The woman immediately rushed over to the source of the sound that broke the morning silence. The woman named Ruth stumbled into Cheryl's room.There, she saw a scene that had become more frequent and heartbreaking.Cheryl was standing by the window, staring out at the front yard.Ruth quickly grabbed a broom and picked up the broken glass without saying anything. She knew the lady of the house needed to be better. She had only been working at Cheryl's parents' house for three months since the girl was hospitalized. Day by day, Ruth felt her job was getting harder because Cheryl had been hysterical and throwing tantrums lately."Leave it there," Cheryl snapped when she saw Ruth picking up broken dishes on the floor."You could get hurt, Miss Cheryl, stay there I'll clean it

    "Sorry, I'm sorry for being unable to be sensitive to your feelings. I'm sorry for making you jealous and hurt, Eve," Gery whispered softly. The two of them were still hugging, and the hug was even more potent when Gery whispered those words. Gery felt guilty. Even yesterday, he did not explain anything to Eve. However, what Eve saw earlier was partially true. Eve didn't see the incident until the end to come to that conclusion. When he felt Eve was calmer, Gery tried to release their embrace. The man looked profoundly and lovingly at Eve's nether regions. Eve was again made to blush because of Gery's sweet treatment. Eve then looked down, hiding her face that was flushed with embarrassment. Her hands also interlocked and twisted the hem of her shirt. Gery smiled slightly when he saw how shaky Eve's hands were. I don't know what made Eve so embarrassed. Gery didn't know. Either because of the sudden kiss he gave her or the words he had just said. But whatever it was, Gery felt happ

    "I can't stay silent. Eve is so poor. She looked so sad earlier. I have to do something right now!" broke up Cindy quickly."It's good that they've made my best friend hurt but don't feel the slightest bit guilty. And Gery is so insolent too! What a man!" Cindy grumbled. She really couldn't contain her annoyance anymore.She didn't want her best friend to be sad because of Gery or whoever it was. Even though Gery was Eve's lover, she was unwilling to let that man hurt Eve. Cindy would not remain silent if that happened.Cindy still remembered how puffy and red Eve's face was. Her words were so heartbreaking. It felt like her best friend looked really bad. Eve herself had gone home by now. That's why she dared to speak harshly and curse Eve's lover.Without waiting any longer, Cindy hurriedly exited her seat and headed for her car. Cindy drove her car at a moderate speed. After twenty minutes, the car finally arrived in front of a large company. The company where her best friend worked

    On the way, precisely in Gery's car to the office, Eve was silent. Gery, who saw it, was a little surprised, but he didn't intend to ask. She thought that maybe Eve didn't want to talk.When they arrived at the office, Eve didn't make a sound. The beautiful woman left without saying goodbye to Gery, still sitting in the driving seat. "What's wrong with Eve? Why is she acting so different?" Gery wondered, but not for long. The man shook his head and went downstairs and into his room. In her room, Eve immediately sat down rudely in her work chair. Her heart ached. Her feelings were all over the place now. She also needed clarification about what had happened to herself even though she was the one who had agreed to Mrs. Andrews's request. However, now she felt regret.Actually, Eve didn't want Gery to realize her jealous attitude. However, somehow, it was tough for Eve to hide it. Even earlier, she avoided Gery. Eve herself actually knew that Gery was innocent. Because even that man did

    This morning, Eve and Gery had an appointment to visit Cheryl, who was still in the hospital. The two of them will go together. It was all on Eve's initiative who wanted to visit and see how Cheryl was doing. As a fellow woman, Eve also felt very sorry for Cheryl, especially after learning that the beautiful woman who works as a model has received little attention from her parents. Eve's heart ached to hear that. Eve is currently preparing in her room. She deliberately did all her routines casually because Gery himself didn't mind if he had to wait for her. That's why Eve took advantage of it a little to relax. Her cell phone ringing made Eve put down the powder she was just about to put on. A little lazily, Eve picked up her cell phone. However, a second later, she smiled when she found out who was calling her. Without wasting time, Eve picked it up and spoke up. "Hello?" "Hello, Eve. Are you ready? I'll be there soon. So, I hope you're ready and waiting for me out front. Don't

    "Okay, goodbye. I hope Cheryl recovers soon so she won't be a burden to anyone else," Mrs. Daphne said sarcastically. Mrs. Andrews flashes a smile, but from the look on her face, she's forced to. Mrs. Daphne's words were striking enough to make Mrs. Andrews flinch. "Thank you for visiting Cheryl, Mrs. Daphne," Mrs. Andrews replied. "You're welcome. Give her my regards when she wakes up," said Mrs. Daphne. "Yes, Mrs. Daphne. Again, I am very grateful for the visit."Mrs. Daphne left the room with Sofia. Mrs. Andrews escorted her to the door of the room. Mrs. Andrews stared at Mrs. Daphne and Sofia until they disappeared. Mrs. Andrews walks back into her daughter's room. She stares intensely at Cheryl. Mrs. Andrews wants Cheryl to recover soon; she wants her daughter back to her old self. Mrs. Andrews sat by the bedside. Seeing her daughter helpless and covered in medical devices made Mrs. Andrews choked up. Her tears flowed unbidden. "I'm sorry, Cheryl," Mrs. Andrews said. Mrs.

    For three days now, Gery has been seeing Cheryl regularly. She wanted to stop, but Mrs. Andrews kept begging. Mrs. Andrews wanted Cheryl to recover as soon as possible. "I've tried, Mrs.Andrews, but Cheryl hasn't recovered. How long do I have to do this?" Gery was naturally upset, as his work was also being disturbed. Eve stroked Gery's hand, wishing he had more patience to help Cheryl recover. "I apologize for interrupting your time. But please, help me a little more. I'm sure Cheryl will recover soon if you keep visiting her here," Mrs. Andrews said. "Yes, Gery. Just a little more, and I'm sure Cheryl will recover soon too," Eve added. They were now in the hospital, where Cheryl was being treated. Grey glanced at Cheryl, who was still lying weakly, not fully conscious. In his heart, Gery hoped Cheryl would recover soon so he wouldn't have to deal with Mrs. Andrews again. "Alright," Gery said briefly. He didn't want any arguments involving Eve. "I have one request, if you coul

    "Eve!" called Mrs. Kate as she knocked on her daughter's bedroom door. "Yes, Mommy," Eve answered from inside. "Can you come in?" asked Mrs. Kate. "Just come in, Mom," Eve replied. Eve was applying a little makeup. The girl sat in front of the mirror, looking very beautiful. Mrs. Kate smiled when she saw her daughter. "Gery is waiting out front," said Mrs. Kate. "Really?" asked Eve. Mrs. Kate nodded. Eve quickly finished the makeup on her face. Eve didn't want Gery to wait too long for her. Eve took her sling bag and then put on her shoes. "Then, Eve will go first," Eve said goodbye. Eve said goodbye to Mrs. Kate and walked to the front of her house. Sure enough, Gery was already sitting with a cup of coffee. "Are you done?" Gery asked. Eve nodded, and Gery smiled slightly. Gery went inside first to say goodbye to Mrs. Kate. Afterward, Gery and Eve walked to the parked car. Gery opened the car door for Eve. After that, she circled the car and entered the driver's seat. Gre
