So what is this all about, Grandma?" asked Gery in an impatient tone again. Rather than continue to waste time with convolutions, Gery would instead get to the point and decide right now.

Mrs. Daphne, who was finally provoked, said straightforwardly,

"That's why I now want you to be close to Eve, to try to establish a relationship between you. I think you two would make a good couple and--"

"Grandma!" Gery's loud attack finally made the atmosphere quiet.

Eve, who had also been feeding the appetizers, choked and coughed slightly in shock at Mrs. Daphne's blatant words. Of course, she was embarrassed because she seemed to be directly thrust to Gery like that. Especially after hearing about Gery's loud protest. How embarrassing!

"Ehm! Please, is there anyone here who wants to ask my opinion first?" Finally, Eve couldn't help but interrupt the ongoing debate between Mrs. Daphne and Gery. After all, her fate was also included in it, so she felt she had the right to intervene. Afte

    Sofia stares at the row of numbers. She pressed one of the numbers, which was none other than Dr. Dean, who was the Foster family's Doctor. She waited until the Doctor picked up the phone from the other side. The voice could have been more precise, but she opened the conversation first."Hello, I'd like to offer you my cooperation," Sofia said without any preamble because she didn't want to waste too much time."Cooperation?" asked Dr. Dean, inevitably interested.Sofia sat down in her chair. She thought briefly about how to frame a sentence to explain all this so that Dr. Dean could understand it as quickly as possible."Yes, this is a direct order from Mrs. Daphne. I wanted to use her situation to trick Mr. Gery." Sofia spoke in a low voice, but it was still loud in the room.Dr. Dean frowned and felt clueless. He took off his suit, letting the air warm his body while keeping the cell phone pressed to his right ear."Wait, Mrs. Daphne wants to deceive her grandson? Is that what you

    "Everything is in order, Ma'am. If you're ready, you can go straight to the hospital. Everything has been prepared by Dr. Dean there, and I have coordinated all the servants in the house," Sofia reported as she poured hot aromatherapy tea into Madame's cup."Then we can leave shortly after breakfast, yes." Madame Daphne smiled."Gosh, I'm going to have to act after this. Let's hope my dramatic instincts are still reliable, Sofia," continued Madame Daphne, to which Sofia smiled back."I'm sure you'll be able to handle everything."Sofia then went to have one of the servants pack some clothes for Mrs. Daphne's three-day hospital stay and her personal things. At the same time, Mrs. Daphne went downstairs to enjoy her breakfast.After breakfast, they left for St. Pedro's Hospital, where Dr. Dean was practising. Dr. Dean there had asked the hospital for permission to take total supervision and treatment of Madam Daphne and not allow any other doctor to intervene. It was easy for him becaus

    Eve couldn't concentrate on her work after the meeting. She was thinking about Mrs. Daphne's condition. The kind old lady had done so much for her, and she felt close enough to her to touch anxious.She was reluctant to call Gery and ask for Mrs. Daphne's latest news. Fortunately, at lunchtime, Gery herself called and asked about the progress at the office. She took the opportunity to ask about Madam Daphne's condition."The doctor said that the pressure and stress she was under had reduced her endurance. Her blood pressure and heart were weakened, so she had to be monitored for some time. He also said she shouldn't overthink so she can recover quickly," Gery replied somberly. Eve had never heard Gery's voice sound that sorry before. The man, who was usually harsh and rigid towards her, was now filled with anxiety and gloom about the condition of her beloved grandmother.Eve's heart trembled at the thought. Instantly, her sympathy for Gery rose dramatically even though she couldn't fu

    Eve's legs twitched restlessly as she finished her work before the computer screen. Her eyes repeatedly glanced at the watch on her hand, her heart pounding.Not knowing what made her nervous like that, Eve shook her head repeatedly to focus her mind on the computer screen. After work, Eve immediately turned off the computer screen and tidied up her desk without waiting for anything else.In a hurry, Eve stuffed things haphazardly into the bag. She had to get to the hospital as quickly as possible. Ever wanted to make sure Gary was on time.But before she could get up from her chair, Eve opened her bag again and pulled out a shiny black square object with a mirror on top and a peach-coloured palette on the other side. Eve brushed her cheeks to keep her face from looking pale after a long work day."Should I add more lip colour?" she wonders as she stares at her reflection in the mirror. Wait, why is she dressed up like this? She was visiting Mrs. Daphne, who was lying in the hospital.

    Eve's tongue wasn't as bitter as it had been a few hours ago. So she can finish her lunch without worrying about her mother getting angry. Maybe it's because Eve has seen that Mrs Daphne is doing well after being treated, although she doesn't know her condition. But seeing Mrs. Daphne's peaceful face asleep relieved Eve's heart.Eve tidied up the lunch box and slid it back into the container. Gery and Mrs Daphne were still asleep until Eve returned from outside to buy a cold drink.Isn't Gery sore from sleeping in that position? Eve thought as she glanced at Gery's closed eyelids. Should she wake her up so that her neck doesn't feel stiff? But what if it also wakes up Mrs. Daphne?Eve shook her head quickly with her silly idea just now. Just let them sleep. Her boss must be tired, too, after taking care of Mrs Daphne, who was lying weak in the hospital.Just as Eve adjusted the air conditioner's temperature so that neither Gery nor Mrs. Daphne were cold, Gery suddenly woke up."Eve?

    Not long after Gery woke up, Mrs. Daphne woke up t. Eve's heart was even more relieved when she saw Mrs. Daphne's smiling face when she saw her coming. Mrs. Daphne's condition had indeed improved. "I'm so glad to see you, Eve. Gosh, why didn't you wake me up when you came?" said Mrs. Daphne with a big smile. "I didn't want to wake you, who was fast asleep, Mistress. You need your rest anyway," said Eve. "So do with you, Mr. Gery. Your stomach needs to be filled, not left empty." "Have you eaten, Eve?" Gery asked back. They had agreed not to antagonize each other in front of Mrs. Daphne. But still, Eve was a little surprised by the drastic change in Gery's attitude. "Already, Sir, earlier when you both were still asleep," Eve replied, slightly stuttering. "Why didn't you wait for me, or at least wake me up when you came," Gery protested, making Eve laugh awkwardly. What a mesmerizing charade! Eve had no idea that Gery could act this well. Why doesn't Gery just become an actor? Ev

    The cabin of the car was warm, and the passengers felt complete. Mrs. Daphne won a lot. She deliberately chose to sit at the back with Sofia to see her grandson and the girl of her choice nearby. The old woman's heart was cheering. Even Gery's occasional smiles at Eve during the conversation are interpreted as a charming romance. As if she never ran out of words, Mrs Daphne continued to engage the young woman in front of her in conversation. Discuss the business development and what steps will be taken in the future. The old lady's admiration grew as Eve expressed her bright ideas. Mrs Daphne and even Gery finally admitted that the girl beside her deserved to be given a vital position. She couldn't help but smile. Her eagle eyes glanced occasionally, which made Mrs. Daphne, who was watching from the rearview mirror, smiling amusedly. "You guys are excellent together." The sentence just slipped from Mrs Daphne's lips, making Gery and Eve reflexively look at each other. "Ehem. I mean,

    Eve was enjoying a cold shower on the head when her mom knocked on the door. The girl quickly turned off the faucet so she could hear her mother's voice outside."Yes, Mom?" Mrs. Kate's voice was very indistinct because the door to the room was locked from the inside. Eve chuckled. The only way was to end her activity and rush out immediately."Yes, Mom?" Eve asked again after her body was wrapped in a pyjama towel, but in the next second, a pair of brown eyes widened when she saw who was visiting, and unfortunately, those sharp eyes were now looking at her."Ehem." Mrs. Kate cleared her throat, which, of course, made Eve realize and immediately went back into the room.The girl brushed her hair while grumbling because it was still very early, but Gery had already picked up. Her days after getting the news that Mrs. Daphne was sick were really no longer accessible because Gery was almost always present in her life. All the time.After attaching a timer to her left wrist and spraying p

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

  • My Crush, My Boss   94. Extremely Jealous

    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
