No longer able to withstand the heartache caused by the scorn of people who judged her unworthy of being with Gery, Eve no longer dared to maintain her relationship with Gery, so she chose to stay away from the man she loved, even though her heart rejected and screamed about her decision. Still, mentally, she was not strong enough to face the attitude of people who did not like her relationship with Gery.To calm her shaken self, Eve decided to take some time off. After break time, Eve went to HRD to ask for leave without Gery knowing. After receiving her departure, Eve resumed her work. Even though her heart was not okay, Eve still did her job well, as a form of professionalism, and tried to ignore her coworkers' strange stares and sneers.If only Eve had the courage, she would shout and ask them to stop sneering at her. However, Eve realized that even if she dared, it would only put her in a corner, and they would sneer at her even more. Shutting up and letting them sneer at her at
Already in his office, Gery repeatedly glanced at the hands on his wristwatch. He also repeatedly glanced at the entrance, waiting for Eve to come. However, after an hour, Eve did not come. "Where is Eve? Why isn't she here after an hour?" Gery then called Eve. However, Eve's number could not be reached. Gery began to worry. "Eve, where are you? Why can't I reach your number?" Gery muttered while contacting Eve again.A knock on the door distracted Gery. He thought it was Eve, but it turned out that it was Arnold. "Good morning, Mr. Gery," Arnold greeted."What's wrong?" asked Gery."I've been asked by Eve to handle her work while she's on vacation," said Arnold."Leave?" Gery frowned. "You mean, Eve went on vacation?" He asked again to make sure his hearing wasn't impaired."Yes, Sir. Eve took a vacation of absence yesterday," Arnold replied. "Did Eve not tell you?" The man frowned slightly. How could Eve take a leave without permission from Gery, her superior?"Well, you just contin
A jeep pulled up in front of the cafe. A beautiful woman wearing sunglasses was waiting there. The woman fidgeted, occasionally looking around to ensure the person she was waiting for arrived on time.As soon as she saw a young man leaving the car, she greeted him."What took you so long, Clark? I'm almost dry waiting for you." Cheryl's face was annoyed, as evidenced by her pursed lips. She had been waiting so long, and he said he had been on his way for an hour."Sorry, you know there's always traffic on the way here, right?" Clark replied with a smile."You've wasted my time now where's the stuff I asked for." Cheryl took off her glasses. The beautiful face with high cheekbones and well-proportioned body looked even more attractive under the spring sunshine."Take it easy, I've done as you asked, Miss Cheryl." Clark, carrying a large envelope, walked closer to Cheryl."Great, so where are the pictures?" Cheryl asked impatiently. She had been waiting for this moment where the photos
Gery steered the car uphill, where the woman selling the souvenirs had pointed the way. The sun was shining on almost every part of the earth in the tourist area of Costa Roya, the tourist village where Eve's grandmother came from.From afar, Gery saw that the area was quite deserted. He didn't see anyone there."It's so quiet, like there's no life," he thought as he parked the car in the parking lot.He exited the car, his eyes searching for Eve's whereabouts. Far away, he saw a large building. The sound of laughter rang in his ears."I parked wrong. I'll try to find her there," he muttered inside the car. The uphill road still had yet to reach its end. Taking a slight turn, Gery finally arrived in front of a large building with a high roof. The main building still had small buildings like gazebos. Some visitors were relaxing while enjoying food and drinks. Gery walked through one tiny building after another and hoped to find Eve there.He hopelessly walked across the vast garden a
The sky had darkened, and the sun had set, replaced by a beautiful moonlight. The two love-struck people sat on the house's balcony while enjoying hot tea. "I didn't expect you to come all the way here from New York," Eve said."I also didn't expect that I would go this far just because I was afraid of losing a woman," Gery replied honestly. He looked at the woman in front of him.Eve blushed at that sentence; it was not as romantic as she had imagined, but it was enough to make Eve's mood warm."Is that true? Are you here just afraid of losing me? Or are you really afraid that no one will take care of you at the office?" Eve asked. She didn't want him to know that she was flattered by Gery's answer."Of course not darling. I don't mind at all if you want to take some time off, because I understand that it can't be that easy for you to accept," Gery replied. He wasn't flirting or cajoling Eve at all. He was telling the truth.In contrast, Eve blushed because of Gery's 'baby' call. Th
"Enough!" Eve shouted.Eve made a small run towards Gery's bodyguards, who were still raging at Clark; when they saw Eve's arrival, they immediately averted their eyes and slammed Clark's body to the ground."Yes, Miss!" they said in unison."Who told you to commit violence in front of my grandmother's house?" Eve asked fiercely."Sorry Miss," said Robert, the leader of Gery's bodyguards."I asked, answer! Who authorized you to act in this manner?" Eve snapped."Sorry Miss, but we were ordered by Mr. Gery not to let this man near you. Also to keep him away from you, if he persists then we will have to take action. That's what we're doing Miss," Robert replied straightforwardly."Was he near me earlier?" asked Eve, walking up to Robert."No, Miss.""Then? What are you doing all this for?!" asked Eve sharply."He kept insisting on coming into the house to see you, even though we warned him that you didn't want to be disturbed, and on Mr. Gery's orders he was no longer allowed to see you
"Wait a minute, sweetheart?" called Gery, but the line was disconnected. "Shit!" cried Gery.Gery slammed the flowerpot in front of his complex. He was furious at Cheryl. Yes, because all of this must be that woman's plan; because she failed to make Gery and Eve misunderstand, she used Eve's innocence to make them even further apart."What exactly does that woman want? Why does she want to mess up my relationship so badly!" Gery shouted in frustration.Arnold, next to Gery, could only look down in fear. He also didn't dare to say anything, but Arnold couldn't bear to see Gery's condition like this."Did you hear what Eve said earlier, Arnold? She told me not to bother Clark! He's clearly Cheryl's man!" Gery exclaimed, ruffling his hair. "What should I do? If Eve is seduced by Clark's sweet talk, then... no! I won't allow that!" continued Gery."Excuse me Sir, may I make a suggestion? It might be useful to you," said Arnold."Go ahead," replied Gery. "If your suggestion is not useful I
After collecting all the evidence that Gery got, Robert returned to Mrs. Emily's house and asked permission to talk to Eve; at first, the girl refused and told Robert and the other bodyguards to leave her grandmother's house, but Robert did not give up easily."I apologize for our actions without your permission Miss, but please allow me to deliver an important news. If this news is not important to you, then without waiting any longer we will immediately leave this house and will not appear in front of you again," Robert said.Eve looked at him quizzically; why was Robert so adamant? Thinking for a while, Eve finally decided. "Alright, I'll let you say it, but if it's unimportant news, then get out of my sight!" Eve broke off."Thank you for the opportunity, Miss. I don't want to talk too much. Please take a look at all this. This is the evidence that Mr. Gery has collected about Clark, who has been deceiving you, Miss," Robert replied, handing her a flash drive containing all the co
The Axela, a five-star hotel in the city center, was Gery and Eve's choice for their engagement ceremony. The hotel was utterly transformed into a luxurious engagement arena with a beautiful view overlooking the sea.Dusk had just descended, caressing the earth with a yellowish-orange tinge; colorful decorative lights were lit, adding to the lively atmosphere of the ballroom. Gery and Eve's engagement room was filled with fresh flowers with striking colors adorning every corner of the room.The round tables were covered with satin tablecloths and silver trimmings for a luxurious feel. At the same time, a sparkling crystal chandelier highlighted the stage where they would be seated later.That night Eve looks elegant and feminine in a flowing white dress that follows her beautiful curves. The A-line cut of the dress at the waist gave it a mesmerizing silhouette. Not too tight, it flared downwards, creating a dramatic impression as Eve moved.The top of the dress is combined with an el
"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
