"Come in," Henry responded from the inside. He adjusted his collar and stationed both his hands on his table.Eve walked into the office. Henry motioned to her with his head to sit. She settled on the couch."You called me sir?" she demanded with her gaze fixed on the calendar on the wall."Yes," Henry replied wishing she would turn to gaze upon his face even once but she didn't."I spoke to my father." Henry began.Eve stared at him for a moment and cast her gaze back at the calendar."I confronted him about his issue with your dad." He disclosed.Eve nodded repeatedly and darted her gaze to the floor.Henry continued. "I want to set up a meeting between our fathers."Eve lifted her head. Her eyes were rolling in astonishment. "What are you saying?""I know it sounds ridiculous Eve but I've spoken to my father about it and he's cool with it." Henry maintained.Eve swung her head from left to right. "There's no way my dad is agreeing to this meeting." she asserted."I know. The thing

Eve dumped her bag on the round table and cast her gaze at the entrance. A man in his early sixties, smartly dressed in a brown tuxedo stepped into the restaurant. Henry rushed to meet him."No wonder!" Eve muttered under her breath. Henry took after his father in every way. His stature, face and smile. She now understands why her father quickly detected that Henry was Richard's son.Eve rose to her feet when Henry and his father walked up to her. Mr Richard extended his right hand to her. "You must be Bloom's daughter."Eve shook him with a smile. "Yes sir."Mr Richard sat on the sofa opposite her. Eve was about to sit when her phone began to buzz. She dipped her hand into her handbag and pulled out the phone. She turned to Henry after glancing at the phone screen."He's calling. I think he's here."Henry gave her an approving nod. Eve sighed and rushed out to meet her father who was standing outside the restaurant. Eve saw her father standing beside the entrance. He was dressed in

Eve watched as her father step out of the restaurant, her arms folded across her chest. She gave a faint smile when he turned back to look at her. She waved at him till he disappeared out of her sight.She strode to Mr Richard and Henry with a bright smile. "Thank you for coming sir," she told Mr Richard.Mr Richard turned to her with a warm smile. "I should be thanking you, miss...""Eve." she completed."Okay...miss Eve" Richard went on. "As I said, I should be thanking you instead. You managed to convince Bloom to show up here. If it were up to my son and me, this meeting wouldn't be possible."Eve smiled. "I just did what I had to.""And about your dad, don't you worry about a thing. He's going to be fine. He's a bit stubborn and I know you are aware." Richard said.Eve giggled. "My dad is a hot head." she acknowledged."He must take his time. There's a lot of pondering to be done." Richard replied."Yea, he said so."Richard turned to Henry. "So won't you officially introduce her

Eve agreed with a nod. She pressed her handbag to her tummy and strode out of the restaurant. Henry hurried after her. She was marching toward the highway in a bid to hail a cab."Eve!" Henry called out to her.She lowered her stretched right hand and turned toward him with a quirked brow. She could feel the effect of the sun on her face.Henry rushed toward her and waved the little plastic that held his car key to her face. "Can I drop you off?"Eve faked a smile. "It's not necessary sir."She had concluded that henceforth there will be no lifts, rides or long conversations with Henry. This way, she will get over him. She made a promise to her mother and this promise she must keep.Henry turned to stare at his sports car which was parked in front of the restaurant. He darted his gaze to the highway."Look, Eve. There's no cab coming through. The whole place is dry and the sun is not smiling." he pointed out."Don't you worry sir. A cab will eventually pull up and I would be home in n

She began to mutter each reply under her breath.'That's a good move.''It's a step closer. Maybe you can engage his parents in a conversation and find out more about his wife.''Wow, that's a great development.''It proves that you are doing a good job Eve'Eve cast her gaze on the last reply.

"I'm done, sir. I was about to bring them before you called," she said and presented the files to Henry thinking he had called her to submit them.Henry motioned to her to drop the files on his table."Sit!" He pointed to the sofa by his left.Eve sat. "Is there anything I can do for you sir?" she demanded.Henry flashed an impish grin. "You are going to be doing a lot today."Eve smiled. She was okay with the declaration. Right now, she'll be happy to bury her head at work as long as it keeps her distracted from him."So what will I be doing sir?" Eve asked.Henry was stunned by her composure. "It's a lot of work Eve and I'm afraid you might be staying much longer today," he replied."Much longer?" Eve asked him with a quirked brow.Henry cleared his throat loudly. "Yes, Eve. We have a huge task at hand and you might have to stay behind till 8 pm."Eve's eyes widened in horror.

Eve wheeled the cart to her office, her nostrils puffing hot chair. She slammed the door behind her and slumped on her chair."Larry!" she gasped after it dawned on her that she needed to catch a ride in the delivery van before he zooms off without her.At that point, she needed no one to inform her that Henry was doing all he could to prevent her from having dinner with his friends that night. But why? she kept wondering at the possibilities of skeletons in his cupboard.She abruptly stood up, grabbed her back and dashed to Anna's office. Larry and the dumb delivery can wait. She has two minutes to spare anyway.Eve bumped into Anna at the door just when she was about to get into her office. Anna is one of the members of the hate club who works in the company."Are you okay?"

There was no denying that Henry was stunned. Eve could read it from his gestures.He folded his arms across his chest and looked Eve straight in the eyes. "Did you go with Larry to our branch or you decided to work on the files?"Eve smiled. "I did both. Mr Garrison extends his regards."Henry was starstruck. There was no way she could know about Mr Garrision if she didn't go with Larry. Garrison is the branch manager.Henry's astonishing eyes fell on the cart. "And you managed to sort the files?" his lips trembled.Eve agreed with repeated nods. "Are you surprised, sir?""Yes," he replied. "I mean no.

He didn't see Eve completing both tasks in two hours. She blew his mind.""No."Eve cleared her throat loudly so he could get the message. "Well, If we are done here, I'll leave the cart wit

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.

Dane pulled his sports car to a halt at the entrance to the parking lot and quickly stepped out."This better be good."

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.

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.

"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
