The Billionaire’s Mysterious Wife Chapter Forty- Nine
The next day, Eve walked into the office building and the first person she saw at the reception was Mrs Wayne."Good morning!" she greeted her smiling brightly."You are going to get these young workers fired one of these days," replied Mrs Wayne with a smile."You must be joking Mrs Wayne? What are you talking about?""I'm not joking Eve. You just keep looking hotter and hotter by the day" "It's so cold in here so I felt like turning the heat on," Eve said with a blink.They both laughed and Eve made her way to Henry's office. She was wearing a sleeveless black top over a gean trouser with a cowboy boot.Stacy saw Eve coming and she sat up. "Good morning Stacy." Eve greeted her while waving a hand at her.Stacy cleared her throat and adjusted her spectacles. "Morning!"Eve stopped at her desk. "Can I get his schedule for the day?"Stacy brought out a sheet of paper and handed it to Eve. "Mr Richard is not in the office."Even smiled while glancing through the paper. "I know," she re

"You must be Eve Bloom right?" began one of the women. She was so white that Eve thought she was looking pale.Eve nodded. "Do I know you?" she demanded with uncertainty in her tone.The other woman giggled. She was about Eve's age and was smartly dressed. She had blonde hair."We work here."Eve nodded repeatedly. "I see!""So we heard you are Mr Richard's new assistant." said the blonde-haired after dropping her bag on the table."Well if you've heard it then it's true," Eve replied, wondering over the purpose of their visit."How did you get the job?" the other lady fired back.Eve threw back the menu card. "Excuse me, Is this some sort of interrogation or what?""Just tell us how you got the damn job.""Are you fucking kidding me? It's none of your business." Eve screamed. The people in the canteen began to turn around.The blonde-haired lowered her head and reduced her tone. "We are all women here and Eve or whatever you call yourself, we all know how you got the job."Eve shook

Even though Henry had just asked her to head to his office, Eve acted as if she didn't hear the command. She walked up to Kingsley and Franklin."So when are you going out? How about a weekend? We could stay out till dawn on Friday or maybe Saturday. That way, we can get to know each other more." she told them.Henry was beside her and the men were shivering already."I said you should head to my office right now!" Henry said."Is there any more work to be done? Besides, lunch hour is not yet over," replied Eve. She glanced at her wristwatch. "There's about five minutes left.""Didn't you get my message?" Henry asked sounding impatient."What?" Eve spat and flipped her hair.Henry moved closer to her and whispered "I want you in my office right now and don't you dare argue with me."He turned to the men. "And what are you two still doing here? Is there no work to be done at your departments?"Kingsley and Frank exchanged glances and in a flash, they disappeared from the scene. Henry

Eve was taken aback. She stood up, wondering why a small issue like that could generate such a violent reaction from him. She looked at Henry without a word.Henry ran his hands through his hair and sighed. "You are the first female assistant I've ever hired." he disclosed."Do your job and don't mingle with male employees around here," he said in an authoritative tone.He turned around to retire to his chair when Eve spoke. "I'll do my job sir but I'm sorry, you can't dictate who I hang out with."He turned around. "So you are going to go ahead and mingle with the guys? Are you even listening to me?""Do you always treat your other female employees this way? Do you tell Stacy, Anna or Jasmine who to hang out with here?" Eve asked."Well, you seem to be the only female employee mingling with the men around here," Henry replied.Eve shook her head. "So you want me to be this miserable personal assistant with no friends at work? You want me to dedicate my eight hours daily speaking to y

The next morning, Henry Richard came to his office and met the door locked. He went back to Stacy's desk."Hasn't my assistant shown up yet?" "She's yet to arrive, sir. Do you need anything?" Stacy demanded, smiling lovingly."If she's yet to arrive, it means my office hasn't been cleaned yet," Henry replied."I'll get it tidied before you blink." Stacy volunteered and took off.Henry went ahead and unlocked the office It was past 9 am and Eve was yet to show up. Stacy got one of the messengers to clean the office. She presented Henry's schedule stating that Eve was nowhere to be found.Henry glanced through the paper and sighed. He couldn't recall the last time he had such a busy schedule. He sat and brought out some files from his suitcase while waiting for Eve to show up. He was hoping she could come soonest because there was a lot of work at hand.Henry wanted to give Eve a call, demanding why she's yet to show up. He later concluded that she was feeling guilty for slapping him

"Wait!" Dane said and stood up. "Does she have a headache or you are covering up for her?"Henry cleared his throat. "It doesn't matter," he mumbled."You are making up the excuse for her boss. I see right through you."Henry sat up and faked a smile. "What? What are you saying, Dane? We shouldn't be talking about this bro. And so what if she didn't show up today?""Well, the contract states that she mustn't miss work without any valid reason so I'm certain she's aware of that so tell me, boss, what happened?" Dane folded his arms across his chest."Fine. You are right. I'm making up excuses for her. The truth is we had an argument yesterday and I called her a slut." revealed Henry. He lowered his gaze to the floor.Dane covered his mouth with both hands. "You did what?" he screamed and shook his head."And she slapped me." Henry disclosed."What? Eve slapped you?""Right on my left cheek." "Damn it," said Dane. An awkward silence fell upon them."Slapping you wasn't the right thing

Eve stood before her large dressing mirror and pressed her eyes for a moment. Yesterday, she was absent from work and couldn't stop thinking about what Henry's reaction will be today when she eventually shows up.After she sent a slap across his face the previous day, she rushed to Olivia's office to tell her about the ordeal. Olivia reprimanded her for the extreme act but also lauded her bravery.She told Olivia that she was scared of turning up the next day and Olivia had advised her to take her time. Today, she was ready to meet Henry and she planned to act as if nothing happened. As far as she was concerned, It was Henry who insulted her therefore she needed not feel guilty for retaliating.Eve stepped out of her apartment and boarded a cab to the office. When she got to the office that morning, everyone was engrossed in his task. She was thankful that the incident occurred in Henry's office not the reception else, the news would have gone around the office like a wildfire that sh

She saw the sincerity in his eyes and knew that the apology came from his heart. She had never imagined Henry to be the kind of boss that will stoop so low to apologise to his personal assistant."And I'm sorry for bugging you that day with my unnecessary questions," she said."They weren't unnecessary questions." Henry countered. "I just acted like a jerk," he said. Eve giggled.Eve wished there was a way she could make a video recording of the entire moment so she could upload it on the hate group and show the women how the famous Henry Richard was apologising to her with a bouquet of roses. Nevertheless, she wasn't going to spare them any detail.Henry went on. "So this flower, is to say I'm sorry for calling you a slut." he lowered his head. Eve sniffled."I'm sorry and I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me," he begged. Eve nodded."I've forgiven you, sir. I told you, we are good right?" Eve replied.Henry nodded and wondered how he was able to put his apology on dis

"I never thought you would show up!" Dane remarked the moment Olivia slapped her purse on the round table. "We are talking about preparations for my best friend's wedding here. I wouldn't mind seeing your annoying face." She replied and sat opposite him. Dane chuckled and crossed his legs. Henry and Eve broke the news of their engagement to them a week ago. Dane was to serve as Henry's best man while Olivia, was the chief bridesmaid. It's two weeks to the wedding and preparations were already heating up. Dane had invited Olivia that evening to the cafe so they could review their plans for the wedding. "Do you want anything?" He asked and pointed to the menu card. Olivia waved her hand down. "I'm good." Dane reclined on the chair. "You'll rather starve than have a drink with me don't you?" She broke into a laugh and grabbed the menu card. "You know what Dane? You have a way of cracking me up even when I'm being a tough girl." He sat up and blinked at her. "Maybe I was created

"So what's your plan? Staying all day in bed without a job till you have the baby?' Mrs Bloom raised her voice at Eve.Eve was sprawled on the bed, facing her phone. She was having a video call with her mother."Eve, if you don't want to get a job then at least you can tell Henry about the baby. He should have thought about his marriage before putting the baby there.""Come on mom!'"I'm serious, Eve. Child support is necessary. Meanwhile, I'm not happy with the fact that you planned to raise this baby alone. I didn't raise you alone so my grandbaby deserves a father." Mrs Bloom went on ranting.Eve sighed and stroked her forehead. "I have enough funds in my savings account that can cater for the baby so you don't have to worry about that and about speaking to Henry, I'll do that when the time is right.""You better do so.""Have you told dad about it?"Mrs Bloom arched a brow. "Didn't you say you'll do that yourself?"Eve gave repeated nods. "I'll come home mom and I'll tell him ever

Dane pulled his sports car to a halt at the entrance to the parking lot and quickly stepped out."This better be good." He muttered under his breath and charged toward Olivia who was standing under a lemon tree, a few meters away from the park entrance.It was a few minutes past 6 pm and about fifteen minutes earlier, Olivia had called Dane and asked her to meet with him, stating that they needed to speak urgently.He got to the spot she was standing and instantly flashed a smile at her. Why the hell was he grinning like a clown Olivia wondered and quickly turned away after a smirk.Dane cleared his throat loudly and gave his forehead a delicate scrape. He was not the kind of man who was used to putting his perfect set of dentition on display and he couldn't tell why he got excited and had to smile at the sight of Olivia.Olivia adjusted the leather bag hanging around her left arm and began taking steps toward Dane. He remained rooted to his spot and felt like the ground was going to

Eve took sluggish steps toward the door. She had been avoiding them for quite a long time and she knew that the sooner she faced them, the better for her sanity.She stood by the door for several seconds and tried to keep her breath in check. She didn't see who was banging on her door but she could bet that it was either Olivia or Jen.After exhaling twice, she opened the door and saw the ladies standing outside. She flashed a quick smile at them and before she could usher them into the house, they flew in.She slammed the door behind her and turned to face their inquisitive faces. They were both folding their arms across their chests and staring at her like an owl."And why the hell was your phone off for two days?" Olivia flung the question at her.Eve sighed and moved to the twin couch."Some ladies from your hate club had been blowing up my phone. I don't even know why I gave them my phone number in the first place." Jen lamented.She moved to the couch and settled next to Eve by

Eve was glad that she had spoken to her mother. She was feeling a bit relieved and was glad that her mother didn't judge or condemn her. Mrs Bloom was sensitive enough to realize that at that moment, Eve needed all the support and comfort she could get.*****"I'm so happy to see you!" Phil declared and almost pulled her to the floor because he had immersed her in a tight hug. Eve smiled and hugged him. If she had her way, she would have pulled him away because she woke up that morning feeling edgy. She attributed the sudden feeling to pregnancy hormones."I never thought you would show up today," Phil commented after they broke off the embrace. "You need rest Eve. You can count on me to handle things while you are recuperating. Remember, health is wealth." Eve gave a warm smile and folded her arms across her chest. Who would have thought that she could get along with Phil? Two weeks ago, they could barely stand each other."Thank you so much, Phil." She replied. She was going to mi

Eve shut her eyes and opened them immediately. Just when she thought that she was hallucinating, she realized that the doctor was still standing by her bed.He kept the file he was holding next to her on the bed and left after flashing a bright smile.Even grabbed the file with trembling hands and her gaze instantly fell on the result after she opened it. She shut the file after a gasp and quickly turned away.She was fucking pregnant!"Damn it!" She muttered under her breath and squeezed the bedsheet. Her head began to spin in circles. She was carrying Henry's baby. According to the report, the doctor handed it over to her, she was three weeks gone.Whether she was three weeks gone, a month or two months gone, it was certain as death that the baby she is carrying is Henry's.He was the only man she had been with and on countless occasions, they had been together without using protection even though there were times she took pills, there were a few times she skipped the pills.She th

The continuous ringing of Eve's phone caused her to open her heavy eyes.She picked up the call."Hey!""Hey, baby. How is my gorgeous damsel doing this morning?" came Darcy's voice.The statement didn't provoke a smile on her face and neither did her cheeks turn red. She was even shocked at her reaction."I'm doing great Darcy." She replied and rubbed her drowsy eyes with the edge of her left palm.Did she just say, Darcy? She cleared her throat loudly. "How are you doing babe?"The phone speaker filtered Darcy's chuckle. "I'm good. You are having a work-free day?"Eve arched a brow. "A work-free day? It's not weekend.""And you are still not at work?"Eve glanced at the wall clock hanging above her. Her eyes widened in horror."Jeez!" She screamed. It was a few minutes to 9 am and she should have been at the office by now."I need to go now." She said and quickly hung up before Darcy could give a reply.She went through her phone and realised that the alarm she had set to awaken he

"Come in!" Henry responded from the inside and shut the file before him.Immediately after he lifted his head and realised that it was Eve who just walked into his office clinging to some documents, he lowered his head and opened the file he had shut earlier.She walked up to his desk. "Phil said you needed the transaction details of the cost of production for the week." She said without staring at him directly.He continued fiddling with the pages of the document before him. "And why didn't Phil obtain the document from the accounts department? Wasn't he the one I assigned the task to?" he asked without lifting his head.From that statement, Eve could tell that Henry wasn't expecting her and on the other hand, she didn't want to be in his office but she had to bring the report because Phil had a couple of other things to do."He's busy. You asked him to plan the annual meeting with the branch managers and also draft invitation letters." She reminded Henry.Lately, he had stopped assi

Eve cast her gaze to the entrance. She saw a man by the door lifting a phone to his face. Could he be her mystery man? She wondered and lowered the phone to her chest.Meanwhile, the man also lowered the phone to his chest and kept roving his eyes around the area."Pick the damn call!" Eve muttered under her breath and began taking strides toward the glass door.The man finally picked up the call and when he turned around, she froze.He placed his perfect set of dentition on display by flashing a bright smile. "You must be Eve?"She nodded repeatedly.He began taking steps toward her, maintaining the illuminating smile. He was devilishly handsome and was dressed in a gas-blue suit. Eve looked into his forest green eyes and darted her gaze to his expensive shoes. Olivia was right. The man was damn classy.When he got to Eve, he extended his right hand and ran his left hand through his blonde hair. "I'm Darcy."She remained rooted to her spot. She wondered whether she should smile, spea
