On the second floor of Fwell Bar, Blake and his friends found themselves enjoying the company of each other in a private room. They sipped on their drinks, laughter filling the air as they shared stories and caught up on each other's lives."You are finally free man, bro! You have gotten rid of that bumpkin you married. It calls for celebration. Let's get drunk tonight!"A handsome man was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of wine in one hand and putting the other on Blake's shoulder. He sipped the wine happily.Blake brushed off his hand in disgust. He drank up the wine in his glass with a gloomy face."Stop talking nonsense, Xian!"A dashing man, who had on a pair of golden frame glasses, was sitting on the other side of the sofa. He had on a suit that made him stand out in this chaotic bar. He tut-tutted and shook his head."Don't interrupt me, Charles!" Xian Lee pouted discontentedly. "Did I say anything wrong? Our friend here was imprisoned in that marriage by Eva, who didn't
The following morning, Eva proceeded to work as she typically did.As she was settling into her cubicle, Baron approached her, wearing a forced smile, and unceremoniously dropped a file of documents onto her desk."Take a look through these documents. They pertain to the children's park project we're currently tackling. It's your inaugural assignment here!"Eva's stomach churned at the sight of Baron's grin, yet she maintained her composure impeccably.Julie caught wind of Baron's remarks. With a single glance at the documents, she couldn't resist chiming in."Mr. Silver, considering Eva is still new here, why entrust her with such a demanding project? Do you not think it might be overwhelming for her?"Eva stood up and asked, "Julie, what's wrong? Is there something odd about this project that I should know of?""The proposed design for the children's park is intricate and time-consuming. Moreover, Aliza's team has been handling this project for over a month now," Julie remarked, sho
Baron's complexion drained of all color in an instant, a visible manifestation of his shock.Almost immediately, a pounding headache assaulted him, causing him to grip his head and slump back into his chair. "How is this even possible?" he murmured incredulously.In the midst of his bewilderment, a sharp rap echoed through the meeting room, drawing his attention to the door. Two uniformed policemen strode in, their presence adding an ominous weight to the already tense atmosphere."Excuse us, everyone. Which of you is Baron Silver?"All eyes riveted to the man who was sitting at the head of the table.The policeman moved towards him immediately. "I guess you must be Baron Silver. Please come with us.""No! Why are you arresting me? Let go of me!"Despite Baron's struggles and screams, he was forcibly dragged out of the company premises, the scene reminiscent of a criminal being apprehended. One of the employees, her hand instinctively rising to cover her mouth, whispered in disbelief,
Eva walked into the Architectural design department. Julie approached her with a big smile."Eva, excellent work!" Julie commended, holding a cup of coffee. "Baron had a habit of harassing young women in the department. We were all fed up with it. But nobody dared to take action because of his position as director."Eva's happiness grew upon realizing that she had successfully rid herself of such a problematic individual."It's all right now, Julie. That scumbag has gotten his reward. You don't have to work in fear anymore," she said comfortingly.The two of them shared a warm smile for a while. They felt like they became closer.Both women has been talking in excited tones, so they were audible.One of their female colleagues, overhearing their conversation, interjected, "Don't get ahead of yourself, Eva, especially after the trouble you caused just days into your tenure here. I warned you to maintain a low profile if you want to keep your job."Julie's surprise was evident as she tu
"Aliza quipped, her eyebrows knitting together as she remarked, 'This isn't what I had in mind.'""Nathan expressed confusion. 'Isn't this your design?' he asked. 'You mentioned you were the lead designer overseeing the plan.'"Aliza nodded, her explanation hurried. "I did create a draft for the amusement park plan, but what you're holding isn't it. You must have grabbed the wrong one."Nathan's face contorted into a deep frown. "Are you implying that I caused the mix-up? What kind of mistake do you think I'd make? This is the plan we selected!"Sensing that Nathan was offended by her choice of words, Aliza immediately adjusted her tone and put on a polite smile."Sir, I apologize if my words came across differently. Please, allow me to clarify. The plan you're holding was actually designed by a newcomer named Eva Torres, or Eva Lowes, and it never received approval from the director. The plan that was approved is the one I created. That's why I'm surprised by this discrepancy. It goe
Julie shook Eva's shoulder with excitement. Feeling a rush of dizziness, Eva gently pulled away from Julie's grasp and directed her gaze towards the computer screen. There, prominently displayed, was Eva's name on the promotion notice. The email declared her as the newly appointed director of the architectural design department. What? How did this come about? Eva had explicitly instructed Jayson not to promote her. She couldn't comprehend why he had disregarded her wishes. Within moments, a crowd of other employees gathered around to catch a glimpse. Shock rippled through them as they beheld the name displayed. "That can't be right! There must be some mistake!" Aliza gently pushed her colleagues aside and leaned in to see for herself. To her astonishment, it was indeed Eva's name prominently displayed on the notice. Her voice trembled with disbelief as she muttered, "How is this possible? Why not me?" The color drained from her face, replaced by a deepening shade of crimson.
Eva was adorned in a stunning sapphire blue fishtail dress. Her wavy black locks were elegantly coiled up with a shimmering pearl hairpin, adding a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. Adorning her slender neck was a delicate silver necklace that gracefully traced the lines of her clavicle. The subtle makeup she wore enhanced her natural beauty, accentuating her features without overpowering them. With a radiant smile gracing her lips, she exuded an aura of enchantment that captivated all who beheld her. Like a wild rose swaying in the gentle mountain breeze, she emanated an effortless allure, drawing the gaze of every guest in attendance. The men gazed at her with wide-eyed wonder, captivated by the goddess-like presence before them. "Isn't she stunningly beautiful?" "Who is she? What lineage does she hail from? And how is it that she's eluded our notice at all the elite gatherings?" "Hold on! Her visage strikes a chord. She's none other than Blake's former spouse, Eva Lowes
"Jayson, please remove your hand from her. As the CEO of World Group, your behavior is entirely inappropriate. Why are you touching your employee in this manner?"Blake's voice carried a sharp edge, his fists clenched at his sides, the urge to confront Jayson palpable. He struggled to contain his rising anger, his restraint a thin veil over his simmering frustration."What exactly do you think you're doing, Jayson? You can't just disregard your position like this," Blake interjected, his words laced with a mix of disbelief and reproach.Jayson's smirk widened, seemingly unfazed by Blake's admonishment. "What's the problem, Blake? Tonight, I'm not the CEO; I'm just Eva's date," he retorted, his tone dripping with arrogance.Blake's jaw tightened, a surge of indignation coursing through him. He fought to maintain his composure, the urge to confront Jayson clawing at his restraint. With a deep breath, he composed himself, his gaze unwavering as he addressed Jayson once more.Jayson's gri
