Chapter 17Emily stares at Jayden in shock. She feels on top of the world, she is so happy that he addresses her as his girlfriend. She didn't know that it would be this easy to win his heart.Mrs. Turner had told her that getting her son is a difficult task. But, lucky her, she is able to make him fall in love with her. She feels like the luckiest lady in the world.Unknown to Emily, Jayden said that to make his secretary jealous, not because he likes her.Jayden tightens his grip on Emily's body, he thinks that the little smile on Evelyn's face will disappear and turn into a slight frown.That is not the case. Instead, the smile on her face becomes wider."Wow!" Marian exclaims. "Congratulations, Mr. Jayden! Your girlfriend is beautiful.""Thank you."Emily blushes."Congratulations, Mr. Jayden!"Evelyn also says, giving her boss a knowing smile.Jayden glares at her, he doesn't like the fact that she congratulated him.Seems like his revenge plan has gone wrong. For the first time in
Chapter 18Jayden shook his head."No. You came here with your legs, looking for a job."He mutters.Evelyn flips a lock of her hair behind her ear, glaring at him."I came here for a job as an accountant or secretary, whatever. I am not here to act like a damn servant.""Of course. You are acting as my secretary. As a secretary, you should follow your boss to important meetings without no complaints." He rambles, maintaining his cool and acting like he is not affected by her rants."You don't have to tell me my duties as a secretary. I know it already."She snaps at him."But, we are done for the day."He moves an inch closer to where she is sitting down and bent to her level, his hands dropping on her desk. He holds her gaze.."Can't you work overtime, as an experienced secretary?"He questions her."I can. I have done it before. But, today is different."She says, not breaking eye contact. "Why?"Evelyn gives a half-shrug She should not tell him that she has a date with her boyfriend. Ja
Chapter 19Morris beams a flirtatious smile at Evelyn."I can't believe that I will see my beautiful lady again, after the dinner date."He rambles.He winks at Jayden, giving him a look that probably says: "Look åsshole. You see, I'm still every woman's dream."Jayden is burning in anger, he feels like throwing him out of the restaurant but he maintains his composure. He should not let the son of a bîtch get to him.Evelyn stands up from her seat instantly and walks up to her crush."Is it true that blue is my favorite color?"She asks.Morris smirks."Yes pretty. I love blue a lot."Her mouth opens slightly."Wow! That means that we have the same thing in common. Blue is my favorite color."She continues asking her questions."Are you really a fan of Colleen Hoover?"Morris gazes at her in surprise."Don't tell me that you are a fan of her books."Her honey-brown eyes gleamed with surprise."Of course. I am a fan of Colleen Hoover. I love all her books, especially CONFESS."She says happily.
Chapter 20Jayden stands by the window made with glasses in his office. From there, he can see the parking lot and the main entrance to the company. He is very early to work today, he has an unfinished project to sort out. Also, he will be having a meeting in the company with his business partners today. He hopes that his secretary will be early to work so that she can help him with sorting out some important documents. Talking of Evelyn, he slept late last night because of her. He is not a fan of stories, especially romance books. But, he read a book by her favorite author, Colleen Hoover. Just because he is still jealous of how the conversation she had with Morris was flowing. Maybe, they can talk without any arguments or quarrels for the first time, if she discovers that he read a book by Colleen Hoover.Jayden catches a glimpse of an unfamiliar car, he is shocked when Evelyn alights from the car. Her car is not like this. Maybe she has gotten another one. Her family is surprising
*Chapter 21*"Who are we going to pick? I should have asked this question before agreeing to give you a ride," Jayden laments. Evelyn blinks her eyelashes rapidly, glancing at her boss. Why did he bring up the question? They are almost at the shopping mall. She beams an evil smile."You know what, drive the car back to the company. Then, you can ask me the question and we can start our journey again.," She rambles.He glares at her."You are crazy, Evelyn,""Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jayden," She says sarcastically."So, are you going to get a cab to drive you home after I drop you at the mall?"He asks.She pouts her lips."Why can't you just help me? Can't you drop me home?"Jayden stares at her briefly."Stop doing that," He utters. Evelyn scoffs."What?""Pouting your lips. It is not cute and it doesn't fit you," He lies.Deep down in his mind, he likes how she pushes out her lips like a spoiled little girl. She looks cute while doing that. He lied that it doesn't suit her,
*Chapter 22*Evelyn draws in a long breath and walks over to her boyfriend and her cousin.Raymond tries to touch her but she shrugs off his hands."What are you doing here, Raymond? You told me that you are busy, you can't give me a damn ride," Evelyn queries him. Raymond frowns."Why are you acting like this, baby? I came here to get some things and I saw your cousin,"She raises her eyebrows, glaring at him."How do you know she is my cousin? I don't think I have ever introduced her to you before," Evelyn utters."You showed me her picture once. It has been long though, maybe you have forgotten," Raymond says. Evelyn raises her eyebrows. She can't seem to remember, showing Raymond her cousin's picture. She had never talked about her cousin to anyone, even Marina. How come Raymond claims that she had done that?Evelyn shifts her gaze to her cousin. Skylar, on the other hand, quickly fakes a smile and hugs her tightly."It has been a long since I saw you, Evelyn. You have really chang
*Chapter 23*This time around, Jayden is the one who receives the shock. Initially, he thinks that telling Evelyn to cook for him in her house will make her give up. He thinks she will leave his office the moment he says "Cook for me", but she proves him wrong. She agreed to cook for him. What is wrong with Evelyn?Jayden gazes at her with a suspicious look."Are you sure? Do you even understand what I just said? You are going to cook a meal for me, in your house," He tells her. Evelyn beams a sweet smile at him. He thinks that she looks more beautiful while smiling. Her smile is so real and gorgeous.Jayden quickly cautions himself from thinking about her looks. That is the beginning of simping for her again. "I am serious, Mr. Jayden. I am willing to cook for you if that is what you want," She says, grinning from ear to ear. He gives me a half-shrug."Evelyn Jones, you know you told me about your bad culinary skills. You can't cook, this lady. Don't bother yourself and don't waste
Chapter 24Jayden stares at his worst nightmare in shock. He has never expected to meet Skylar again in his life, especially in his secretary's house. He feels a rush of anger mixed with different emotions he can not mention, all over his body. His hands squeeze into fists. Her face disgusts him, but still, he can see her new beauty. Evelyn watches her boss and her cousin with a questioning look. She can sense the familiarity in their tones and she doesn't miss the shocked expression on their faces. Who knows? Her social media influencer cousin may know Jayden from somewhere, after all, she knows her boyfriend too.Evelyn locks the door and quickly walks over to them. "Do you know each other from somewhere?" Evelyn asks innocently, interrupting the silence that reigns in the living room. That is the only question she asked.Jayden stands up from his face and walks out of the living room. Evelyn's brows snapped together."Mr. Jayden!" She calls his name. She runs after him. Luckily
