"What happened? Why do you look so happy?" Cassy asked with confusion.
Eva is smiling from ear to ear, even though her cheek is throbbing. She is so happy.
"Look, my fees are fully paid. I think my father was trying to scare me yesterday" Eva showed her laptop screen to her best friend.
Cassy's eyes widened with surprise. Damien Bishop's face popped into her mind. She clicked the fee details link and found that her suspicion turned out to be true. Under the last semester fee, it's written that it is paid by an unknown source. All the other semester fees are paid by the Yoke group. But the last semester's fee is paid by someone else.
"Don't look so happy. It's not your father. It's someone else" Cassy muttered.
She doesn't know how she should feel. Damien Bishop is a lifesaver for Eva. He cares for her and protects her from every harm. But the sad part is, he is Eva's future brother-in-law and her one nightstand.
Cassy is happy th
Robert and Patrick shared a puzzled glance. "So you are planning to scare Watson Yoke?" Robert asked Damien. Damien just stared at him without a word. His friends are at it for the past half an hour since the moment Damien revealed what he is planning for Watson Yoke. For some odd reason, they both are finding it hard to take in. Robert and Patrick are shocked to hear that Damien is actually planning to hurt Watson, who might or might not be his future father-in-law. They never thought Evangeline Yoke will become someone whom Damien would come to care deeply about. She will be his future sister-in-law. She is to marry Jake in a few months. They both are not understanding why he cares so much about her. She is a Yoke and she is their responsibility. Damien is not the kind to get driven by his emotions. He is cold and calculating. They never saw him getting so attached to a woman before. He always uses women for only one purpose and would di
She doesn't know what Xavier told the receptionist, but after the phone call, her entire demeanor changed towards Eva. Now the other woman is looking at Eva with curiosity and a hint of fear. Eva was swiftly led towards Xavier's cabin. They used the elevator which is marked as private. Eva noticed all the others are using the other four elevators and no one is using this one. 'It must be only for higher-ups ' Eva thought. The Bishop towers is one of the biggest high raises in downtown. It's entirely made of glass and chrome. It's stylish and practical at the same time. The entire tower is used for all of the operations carried on by the Bishop corporations all over the world. It's like head office to all the branches of the corporation, which are spread across the world. When the elevator reached the 45th floor, the receptionist walked outside and Eva followed behind her, trying to hide her face. To her surprise, there is only one door on the entire flo
Robert and Patrick left soon after they greeted Eva, offered an understanding nod towards Damien.Damien tipped his chin, giving a silent message to start working on what he said about Watson Yoke. They both nodded their heads in agreement and left his office cabin.Eva hid behind Damien until both of his friends left."If they are your friends, then they might be friends to my brother-in-law. What if they tell him that came to see you?" She asked with a panicked voice.The moment she referred to him as her brother-in-law, he became uncomfortable. For some reason, he is not liking that title coming from her mouth. He is trying to find proof about Rose's infidelity. The moment he does, he will call off their wedding. It's one of the reasons why he kept pushing the wedding dates for the past couple of years. And he can easily call off his angel's marriage with Jake. Over the years, he gathered enough proof against him to make their contrac
After they successfully named their relationship, Damien ordered lunch for them. Eva decided to have a vegetable sandwich, as she doesn't prefer eating nonveg much. Damien ordered a chicken sandwich for himself and a strawberry milkshake for Eva, to go with her sandwich.They finished their lunch, all the while chatting about nothing in particular. Soon, he had to get back to his work. As her body is bruised, she too was tired. Unintentionally she dozed off on his couch. Damien noticed her and smiled softly. He covered her body with his suit jacket, before resuming his work.His assistants came a couple of times inside his cabin to deliver some files or remind him of his meetings. When they saw a woman lying on his couch, they couldn't hide their surprise. They have been working for Damien for more than a couple of years. In all those years, they never saw him getting tangled up with a woman before.Damien was always in the news for his ruthless busi
The next morning, Cassy woke up Eva excitedly. "Eva, wake up. You have to see this" Cassy barged into Eva's room with barely contained excitement. Eva woke up with a start when Cassy jumped on her bed, making Eva bounce a little. "Damn Cass, what happened? Why do you look so happy? Give a little warning next time will you?" Eva muttered sleepily. She looked at the time and noticed it's just 6 in the morning. Cassy ignored Eva's words and shoved her laptop into Eva's lap and pressed the 'play button. Immediately Watson Yoke came onto the screen surrounded by reporters. "Mr Yoke, there are so many women who are complaining about the rashes on their skin after using your new cream which was launched a few weeks ago. What do you have to say about it?" One of the reporters asked shoving a mike in Watson's face. "Mr Yoke, not only your beauty brand, but the merchandise bought from your supermarkets all over the country are said t
"Cass, are you insane? Why did you rile Rose like that?" Eva frowned at Cassy once they are inside the safety of Cassy's car.Cassy is still angry. If it's not for Eva, then she would have taught that bitch Rose a lesson today. How dare she talk to Eva like that."I told you they don't deserve your care and sympathy. But you didn't listen. Look at how that bitch is behaving and talking bad about you. They don't deserve you, Eva. I don't know why you insist on being loyal to them" Cassy muttered.Eva looked away from Cassy's inquiring gaze."Because they are my family" she replied softly.Cassy sighed, feeling bad for Eva."I know they are your family Eva. But they are not treating you like family. They are treating you more like a maid or something. They will remember you when they need you and discard you when they don't" Cassy pointed out for the hundredth time.Eva remained silent. She cannot be as cold-hearted as her parents and s
Watson is sitting in the conference room of the Yoke corporation headquarters, holding his head in between his palms. "What the hell is happening? We tested that cream and it was fine when we were releasing it. Now after a month, everything is blowing up and the media is after us and they are trying to find a way to spoil the company's reputation further. We all saw how that cream affected my daughter's face. I need an immediate explanation." he demanded his managers. Everyone is in a state of shock and none of them are understanding what exactly is happening. Like their boss pointed out, they tested that cream before releasing it in the market. They are not understanding what went wrong. "Boss, like you pointed out, we tested that product before we released it. We are not understanding what went wrong. We already informed the production department to stop its production. The marketing department was informed to recall all the delivered products.
Watson Yoke visited the Bishop mansion, to request their financial help for his company, which is in crisis. But upon visiting the mansion, he found out that Damien Bishop is out of town."I don't know that Mr Damien is out of town. Do you have any idea when he will be back?" Watson asked Alexander Bishop.Alexander shook his head."I don't know Watson, he never discusses these things with me nowadays. And I am too old and tired to involve myself with all those details anyway" Alexander replied apologetically.Watson sighed with resignation. Damien was his last hope to pull himself out of this crisis he is facing. But now that he is out of town, Watson has no other option left."I tried calling him, but he is not answering his phone. He might be busy" Watson murmured absently."He might be" Alexander agreed.Watson frowned, trying to figure another way out of this mess."I don't know what to do now. I need money urg
