Chapter 9Eve's eyes almost pop out of their sockets as she tries to process what her friend just said. "Jayden!" She snorts quietly, clenching her fists as she feels anger building up in her. If it were to be someone else that she has to work with then she wouldn't have had any problem with that. But Jayden? He's the last person she wants to work with. She has a phobia for arrogant people, and she may end up losing her job after kicking his ass. Giving the lady a last glare, she finally turns around and storms out of the office, slamming the door behind her as if she wants to breathe it down. As she walks down the hallway, she can't help trying to control her anger. She finally stops in front of the door and takes a deep breath, before pushing it open and walking inside. Surprisingly, Mr. Liam is not sitting in his usual seat. Has he quit already? She takes another deep breath before placing a soft knock on the door of his office, and after a few minutes, his voice finally sounds
Chapter 10"I want to resign, She says to him after a long silence, and he raises his gaze to look at her, having an amused and less surprised expression on his face. Not that he didn't see this coming anyway, but there's no way he'll allow her to resign. At least not now. He hasn't frustrated her the way he wants to, so why should he free her? "What did you say?" He asks sarcastically as if he didn't hear her the first time. He just wants her to repeat that before he shocks her with the disappointment of her life. You aren't expecting him to let her resign, right? He started all these purposely, and finishing what he started is the only thing on his mind. "I said I want to resign! I'm sure you heard me when I said that. Do I need to spell it out to you, huh? I want to resign!" She finally loses it, slamming her hands on my desk. She has been trying so hard not to let her anger take over her, but she can't do this anymore. The only thing on her mind now is to piss him off and leave
The day is not yet over and she's already tired of the workload in the office. Just imagine what the rest of her day here will be like. As much as she wants to run away from the company and never return, thinking about Mr. Turner that has been nothing but so good to her, thinking about the trust the man has for her, and the love he had for her while he was still managing the company, she thinks that it'll be unfair to break his trust and leave just like that. "You can do this, Eve. Just trust yourself that you can," She assures herself as she resumes work on her desktop. Of course, she knows that jerk just wants to bully her, she knows that he just wants to frustrate her and make her life in the company miserable, but screw him! Having all her attention on the desktop, she cringe as someone suddenly drops a heap of documents on the desk again. Her face drops sadly when she raises her gaze to see a smirk dancing at the corner of Jayden's lips. Does he want to kill her? She's yet to s
Chapter 12Jayden ClintonDays laterIt has been a couple of days since Eve has been working as my secretary, and all these few days, I am sure I have frustrated her more than enough. I don't know why but for some unknown reasons, I just don't like her. The joy I always have whenever I see that angry look on her face is just too priceless. You won't blame me for doing this, would you? She's crazy and needs to have more manners as a member of this company. She wasn't on her best behavior when I came here, which is why she's going through all of these now. It's fun, anyway. Picking up the office telephone a few minutes later, I put a call through to my annoying secretary, and one minute already passed before she answer the call. "I'm working. What is it now?" Her lazy voice sound through the phone and I roll my eyes. I guess she must've been so tired from the workload on her, but does it look like I care? I mean, what is she paid for, if not to do her job diligently? "Come in," I dro
Chapter 13"I'm not going to a damn meeting on your behalf, Mr Jayden."Evelyn snaps at her inconsiderate boss, who is having fun with ordering her around and getting on her nerves. Jayden crosses his arm over his chest."I'm your boss, Evelyn. I'm paying for your service. Always obey me, I might just sack - ""Sack me."She barks, completing his sentence for him."I don't care. Do your worst. I'm tired of working your butt off for someone like you."He stares down at her, the corners of his mouth curls upwards. He really likes when Eve is mad. He doesn't mind if his attitude towards his sassy secretary can be called "psychotic". He just loves making her mad. It always gives him this inner happiness.Eve lifts her eyebrows, noticing the annoying smile on his face."What the heck Is this funny? Is this funny? Sack me, Mr Jayden."He smirks."I told you the other day. Talk to my father about leaving your job. He is the one who hired you, not me."She shook her head in disbelief. She has rea
Chapter 14Evelyn shut her eyes for a second, maybe it is her weird imagination that is playing tricks on her. When she opens her eyes, he is still there. He is sitting on her couch, in her living room gazing at her with an innocent look. What the heck is Jayden Freaking Turner doing in her house?"Are you done admiring my handsome face? Now, greet me now."His deep voice snaps her out of her train of thoughts. She throws a deadly glare at her."Greet, my foot. What are you doing in my house, Mr Jayden?""Why are you always rude?"He asks her.She folds her arms over her chest, trying not to let her towel fall on the ground."Save that question for another day. Answer my question, first."She watches as he gets up from where he was sitting down, his blue eyes glancing around her living room. Her brows snap together, she detests how he is behaving like a creep. She hates it more that he is in her house. "Who gave you the address to my house?"She questions him, after a few minutes of si
Chapter 15Jayden swallows a gulp down his throat, staring down at her."How will someone like you get me speechless? I was just shocked."He rambles. Evelyn beams a little smile, she knows that her beautiful appearance renders him speechless but he doesn't want to admit it. Of course, he is an arrogant human being.Eve smirks at her boss."Shocked about what? About my beauty, right?"His well-shaped brows snap together."Your beauty, my foot. Whoever told you that you're beautiful is probably deceiving you. Because you are not."He only said that because of his ego but deep down in his mind, he thinks that she looks gorgeous, like the queen of the night. Normally, he has noticed her flawless beauty since he saw her today. But today, she looks more beautiful. She is capable of winning ten beauty pageants at a time, owing to her beauty and confidence."Why is this crazy lady having an effect on me?"He wonders in his mind."She is nothing special, I have seen a lot of beautiful ladies befor
Chapter 16"Good morning sir."Evelyn greets her boss. She is in his office to give him his schedules for the day. "What do you want?"Jayden asks her.He doesn't spare her a glance, his eyes are fixed on the computer in front of him."I am here to hand over your schedule."She mutters gently."Drop it on my desk and leave."He commands, still not glancing at her. Her eyelids drop. She wonders what is wrong with her boss."Are you okay, Mr. Jayden?"She asks him with concern.This time around, he looks at her. He has a blank look on his face, instead of the usual mischievous grin."Do I look like a sick person, Evelyn Jones?"He asks back.Evelyn opens her mouth to say something but closes it back. Why is he acting so cold and different today? Is it because she tells him that she has a crush on Morris Anthony?She starts."I just think that - ""Leave. I'm busy right now."He orders.She nods her head slowly and walks out of his office, still confused about the change in his behavior. May
Chapter 41"Happy birthday, sweetheart," Mr. Jones smiles at her widely, but she just stands frozen on the spot with a shocked expression on her face. A drop of tears slid down her cheeks as she stares at him with mixed feelings. She's mad at him for the ways he has been treating her, and also happy that he finally shows up to celebrate her birthday with her. She gulps down nothing and bites her bottom lip. "What is going on here?" She finally breaks the silence, her voice not sounding pleasing to the ear, which only expresses her anger. "Uhm... Eve, I invited your dad over to celebrate your birthday with you," Jayden explains, and she scoffs unbelievably. "Why?" This is the only question that escapes her lips as she turns to face Jayden, with anger written all over her face. "Wh... What do you mean?" Jayden stutters confusingly. "Why did you invite him? Did I ask you to?" She snaps at him angrily, after glancing at Mr. Jones. "Eve...""What right do you have to do this shit?
Chapter 40Three days later... The sound of the blaring alarm pulls Evelyn out of her deep slumber, and she tosses on the bed, before she forces her eyes open, staring up at the ceiling. Again, she has woken up to her miserable life. She took three days off from work, and she's resuming today. The past three days have been filled with her staying indoors and thinking about what happened. "You are a bastard, Raymond," She mutters under her breath, running her fingers through her hair after she sits up on the bed, a drop of tears sliding down the corner of her cheeks. It's not that she wants to think about him, she has only been trying to get him off her head, but the more she tries to, the more difficult it seems to be. "Don't think about him, Eve. Don't cry over him, because that bastard doesn't worth it," She says as she grabs the pillow, and throws it across the room, bursting into tears afterward. "It's fucking difficult to get over you. I thought you loved me. You fucking dec
Chapter 39She gulps down nothing as she stands up from the bed, trying to keep her sleepy eyes open. "Evelyn threw me out..." She mumbles under her breath, but still loud enough for him to hear her, and he can't help the scoff that tears through his lips. What the hell was she expecting? That Evelyn will still allow her to stay in that house after what happened? She must really be dumb. "And how's that got to do with you being in my house? Were you expecting her to still allow you to live under the same roof with her after what happened?" He snaps at her, and she bites her bottom lip. He's right, anyway. She was too foolish to have expected her to still let her stay there. "Look, I have nowhere else to go...""And how's that my business? Does it look like I give a damn about that? I'm yet to clear the mess you caused, and you want to get me into more trouble?" He sneers at her, and she flinches as her heart misses a beat. Tears brim in her eyes before they stream down her cheeks a
Chapter 38Pulling her suitcase behind her as she walks out of the house minutes later, tears stream down her cheeks. Standing at the roadside, and crying her eyes out like someone that just got her heart broken, Skylar feels her world crumbling down before her very eyes. Now she regrets everything she has done. She shouldn't have continued her relationship with Raymond when she found out that she was her cousin's boyfriend, but she chose to be a fool, and now she's suffering for her mistake. She couldn't bring herself to go to Raymond's house after realizing that the young man never loved her as he claimed. She accepts that it was all her fault, she started this shit in the first place, and she shouldn't have seduced him, but that was because she found him attractive, that was because she couldn't resist the urge, and now she's stuck here. A few minutes later, she finally flags down a cab and hops in without giving him her destination. Maybe squatting with Raymond for now before s
Chapter 37Her eyes slowly widen in shock as she stares back at him, wondering what he's talking about. Trying to recall what happened the previous night, she shuts her eyes tightly and holds her head when she feels so blank upstairs. "Just stop trying, girl. I'm just kidding. Nothing happened, OK?" He quickly says to her. Of course, he wouldn't want her to start thinking that he's some pervert that took advantage of her, just because she was drunk. That's the last thing she would ever do to anyone, and not even to his secretary. She's too special to him for him to bring himself to do that to her. Releasing a sigh of relief, she falls back to the bed and stares up at the ceiling as tears brim in her eyes. Recalling everything that happened between Raymond and Skylar, she can only blame herself for being a fool all along. It doesn't hurt that he cheated on her, and neither is she sad because it had to be with her cousin, but she's sad that she never noticed that this dude has been pl
Chapter 36Jayden didn't expect her next action. It comes as a shock to him when Evelyn seals their lips together. Initially, he thought that she wanted to hug him again or do another crazy thing, but kissing him is completely different and it is very shocking to him.She wraps her long arms around his neck, deepening the kiss, usinge her nails to get his thick black hair messy. Her sweet lips are traveling through different parts of his mouth.Her mouth tastes like what she has been drinking. An alcohol with a neutral taste. Despite that everything in him wants to return the kiss, he can't bring himself to snap out of the shock. He wants to return the aggressive kiss while using the opportunity to touch her ass. He wants to grab her closer to his body. but on a second thought he restrain himself. He is aware that kissing her back may be considered as taking advantage of her drunken taste. Obviously, she is drunk and she doesn't know what she is doing. The scent of her perfume is dr
Chapter 35All eyes turn to stare at the gorgeous lady who just walks into Sunrise Nightclub. People can't keep their eyes off her sexy body.Evelyn obviously deserves the attention she is getting. She is putting on a tight-fitting gown that reaches her upper thigh. Her exquisite perfume also calls a lot of attention to her body. She glances around the nightclub, ignoring the stares she is getting from the ladies and the winks from the men. She is sure that a man is going to approach her soon.After Evelyn left the company in the afternoon, she went to the shopping mall. She almost spent all the money on her first credit card, buying things she doesn't really need. She just wants to spoil herself and forget everything that is happening in her life. Now, she is in a nightclub. Evelyn walks over to a corner in the nightclub. She doesn't want anyone to disturb her moment, that is why she chose a seat in the corner.She orders alcoholic drinks only. She wants to get herself drunk and p
Chapter 34 Jayden threads a hand through his jet-black hair, swallowing a gulp down his throat. He doesn't know what to say, his lips remain glued together. Jayden wishes those mean words hadn't come out of his mouth. He shouldn't have said that to her. Now, he has hurt her feelings. Evelyn pulls away from her boss' desk, trying hard to control the tears which are threatening to fall from her honey-brown eyes."I am going to forward my resignation letter to you through email," She says. Evelyn turns and she is beginning to walk towards the door. She is about to open the door when Jayden's strong arms grip her wrist. She jerks away from him, facing him."W..What?" Her lips tremble badly, and she cannot speak adequately. Jayden's hands squeeze into tight fists, his face falls blank. He has run out of correct words to say. He is not used to telling people 'sorry'. Evelyn is the first person he has ever given an apology to. Now, he is going to do it again. It is a very difficult task
Chapter 33It has been two days since Raymond broke Evelyn's fragile heart. She has resumed work, pretending as if she is okay. But, deep down in her mind, it still hurts. It hurts her deeply, anytime the image of her ex-boyfriend kissing her cousin flashes in her mind. She knows that she will get over him soon. But, how is she going to forget about him when his face is glued to her memory? She can't seem to forget about him, especially when he is spamming her with messages. Evelyn has blocked his numbers and deleted everything about him on her phone but Raymond is persistent and stubborn, he still spams her with calls and texts using strange numbers. She doesn't even bother to read his texts. She doesn't listen to his pleas and excuses. What excuse can he give her, anyway? She caught them together in her house. It even seems like they've been deceiving her, since all these days. Or, is he going to tell her that he was drunk that day?All his messages are left unread on her social
