last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
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

  • My Crush, My Boss   22. The Gossip Spreads

    The news of Eve's closeness to Mrs. Daphne and her appointment as Gery's assistant certainly did not escape the whole company's attention. News began to spread that something was going on between Eve and Gery. And unpleasant gossip was inevitable. Eve was now facing a bad atmosphere because whenever she was in the cafeteria, she would hear the other staff whispering and glancing at her. It was obvious that they must be talking about her. Eve initially tried to ignore them, but she got fed up. Finally, she never went to the cafeteria anymore. She deliberately asked her mother to prepare a lunch box for her every day because she didn't have time to queue for food in the canteen. "Eve, did you hear about the rumors circulating about you among the employees?" Dave asked one day when they decided to have lunch together at a spot in Vinestra Park. "I don't know; it must not be far from the gossip about my closeness with Mr. Gery and Mrs. Daphne, right? I've heard it many times but ignor

    The next day, when she went to work, Eve was surprised to see Dave, who had confronted her in the basement parking area of the office where she usually put her car. "Why didn't you phone me, Eve? I've been waiting all night to hear from you." Dave asked after Eve closed and locked her car. "Hmm? Phoned you, but for what?" Eve was confused because she didn't understand why Dave was waiting for her call. He is waiting for what news? "Oh my! Did you forget to open the box I gave you yesterday?" Dave asked again. The man looked a little frustrated. Eve suddenly remembered. "Geez, sorry, Dave. I opened it yesterday in the car, and because it contained an agenda with a lot of writing, I intended to read it when I got home. Still, I was busy and forgot, hehe. I'm so sorry," Eve tried apologizing because she forgot about Dave's agenda last night. Dave tapped his forehead hard with an increasingly frustrated face. "Is it very crucial? Or should I just read it now? One second!" Eve felt gu

    Dave, still waiting for Eve's answer, was even more disappointed when he saw that girl hurriedly walking with Gery, dressed officially and carrying their briefcases. It was predictable that they were going out for some event, whether professional or not. That left Dave with all his evil thoughts. "Damn! She hasn't even given me an answer yet, but to go off with another guy so casually! Damn it!" cursed Dave as his eyes watched the two figures walk further away towards the parking area reserved for the higher-ups at Vinestra. Dave was burning with jealousy. Especially since he once overheard the conversation between Madam Daphne and Sofia that the two women wanted Gery to be close to Eve, and they would deliberately find many opportunities for them to be together. "I must act before it's too late," he resolved as he clenched his fists until his knuckles looked white. An evil plan to keep Gery and Eve apart from each other is now fulfilled in his head. Yes, they must go back to hat

    The news was getting out that Eve was now too close to Gery. The whispers from other staff were also becoming more and more frequent. Although Eve didn't care, her ears were gradually pricked as some of the female staff, perhaps jealous, made the most vicious accusations against her. "You must have seduced Mr. Gery with your body to get such an important position here so quickly, right?" One of the accusations pierced Eve's heart so much that she became so angry. "What did you say? Please watch out your mouth! You're a fellow woman, yet you're quick to make such low accusations against other women!" Eve accused as her eyes bulged. She accepted being gossiped usually because she couldn't prevent the news from spreading throughout the office. But if she was accused of flirting with men for the sake of her position, it was too much. She could not keep quiet again anymore. The horde of women who had called her out earlier were the manager's secretaries. They were probably jealous beca

    "Hmm ... already being that close to the boss, hm?" sneered Dave when he deliberately paralleled Eve's steps on the way to her car in the parking lot at workout time. "Uh, Dave? What do you mean?" asked Eve, not understanding what Dave meant. "You had lunch outside with Mr. Gery earlier? And you're still acting like you two are enemies. Tsk, how dramatic!" Dave continued to sneer while snorting in annoyance. His face, which looked very insulting to Eve, made Eve annoyed. "What's wrong with you? We had a meeting at lunchtime with a potential investor. I was invited because they made an appointment suddenly without any prior plans," Eve replied as her eyes narrowed to scrutinize Dave, whose attitude was getting stranger by the day. "Oh, but even the attitude of the two of you is like partners who have been working together for a long time. Not like two humans who are hostile to each other," commented Dave again. "Oh, God, Dave, we're two adults and professionals. We know when it's

    An angry Dave was still causing trouble the next day. When he saw Eve eating lunch in her room alone because she was working on an assignment given by Gery, Dave deliberately entered without permission and closed the door behind him. Eve, who was munching on her food, stopped what she was doing for a moment and gave him a disapproving look. "Can't you use some manners, please? Knock on the door first if you want to come in!" she scolded sarcastically. "I want to talk to you, Eve," Dave snapped, sitting down in front of Eve's table without prompting. "Can't you see I'm eating?" Still sarcastic, Eve's voice sounded even more annoyed. "I'll wait for you," Dave said irresistibly. Eve snorted and continued eating without caring about the man who had been irritating her so much lately. Dave waited for a while because Eve didn't even want to speed up her eating. The girl burned him even more because while eating, she still took the time to flip through her cell phone. "You don't apprec

    On the other hand, far away in Paris, a girl with a perfect body and extremely beautiful eyes was looking at the screen that was showing the results of the shoot they had just done. Her shoulders were a little tired from having to wear a fancy dress costume with lots of over-the-shoulder attributes for most of the day, but she couldn't resist the urge to check out the results of her hard work. "Well done, Cher. You always succeed in getting a soul every time you play a character. Look at that dismissive look in your eyes, hm? It really suits your character. You're my smart princess," praises the famous photographer who has worked with Cheryl for a long time and already considers the New York model as his daughter because she's always willing to go everywhere. "But there's a bit of a miss in the part where I'm running. Should it be ripe? A woman with a broken heart should not be running with a stiff look on her face. There should be a sad look that--" "No need, Cher. That was good. M

    "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

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.

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.

    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.

    "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
