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
It's been one week since Eva last spoke to Xavier. It's as if he is giving her the silent treatment. They are not in a stage where they usually speak regularly. But this time it's different. They argued and since then he didn't bother talking to her.Her father seems to have recovered from the crisis Xavier inflicted upon his company. He explained to the people through the media. He made up a story about their rivals trying to defame him and his company and people seem to buy it. Everything became normal and even Rose seems to have recovered from the effects of that cream.But since that day a week ago, Xavier is giving her a silent treatment. He neither called or texted her. It's not like Eva tried calling him either. She doesn't know what to tell him if she even called him. They are at a standstill. He is not liking her being loyal towards her undeserving family and Eva doesn't know how to turn her back on them.And she is not totally on board with
When Jake heard Eva's refusal, he became angry. He stepped out of his car and closed the door with a bang. He walked towards Eva with long angry strides. The streets are almost empty and only Eva, Cassy and Jake are present on the street. As they are not walking through the main road, there is no one around to help them. Cassy stood beside Eva and tightly held her hand lending silent support. "How dare you? Do you think you are better than me? Is that what you think?" Jake sneered at Eva. He is just an inch away from Eva and his alcohol breath is making her gag. "She said she doesn't want to come. Let her be" Cassy interjected. Jake glared at her with resentment. "I know you are the one who is teaching her all this. You good for nothing whore. It would be fun to let my friends have fun with you tonight, when I take her virginity" he threatened Cassy. Eva's face became pale. "She has nothing to do with this. Leave he
Just when Eva was about to lose her conscience, the pressure around her neck was released and she stumbled to the floor trying to catch her breath. She took greedy gulps of breath and steadied herself. That's when she heard the sounds of punches and grunts. She looked in the direction of the sounds and found that Xavier has Jake pinned to the ground face first and he is raining punches on Jake. To her horror, Jake is not moving. "Xavier" she croaked through her dry throat to attract his attention. 'If he keeps punching Jake, then he might kill him. Eva is not worried about Jake. But she is worried about Xavier. If Jake is dead, then Xavier has to face a lot of trouble. "Xavier stop, you will kill him" she pleaded with as much strength as she could muster. Damien on the other hand wants to kill Jake. Damien just came back today and was intending to just pass by his angel's apartment. He wanted to check on her once. But to his conf
