Chapter 17 Taking Responsibility
Last Updated:
2025-02-03 21:00:06Lily’s innocent question left Evelyn gaping, while Julian struggled to suppress a laugh. Adam, however, remained silent, seemingly weighing the best response to give the little girl.
Not wanting the situation to escalate further, Evelyn quickly stepped forward. “L-let me take Lily, sir. Sorry for the trouble,” she said, reaching out her arms.
Seeing Evelyn’s hands outstretched, Adam handed Lily back to her. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he hesitated. A part of him felt reluctant to let go of the cheerful little girl, as if he was already fond of her—a strange and unfamiliar feeling, especially for someone like Adam Dean, who had never particularly liked children.
As he passed Lily over, Adam’s hand accidentally brushed against Evelyn’s. The brief contact sent a jolt through both of them, their gazes locking for a fleeting moment. The room seemed to still, thick with an unspoken tension neither could quite explain.

“I’m so sorry, ma’am,” Helena, the nanny, said, bowing deeply in front of Evelyn. Her reddened eyes made it clear she had been crying. “I’ve been so careless,” she admitted, taking full responsibility for what had happened earlier that day.Evelyn sighed softly, seated across from Helena in the living room. “I hope this doesn’t happen again, Helena,” she said firmly, though her tone remained calm. “I hired you to take care of my children, and I need you to be more cautious moving forward.”Helena’s head snapped up, her eyes wide with surprise. “You’re not firing me?” she asked, stunned by Evelyn’s words.

Evelyn? Ms. Evelyn!”The sound of her name, accompanied by a hand waving in front of her face, snapped Evelyn out of her daze. “R-Rena?” she stammered, blinking as she registered the presence of her younger colleague. “Oh, hi,” she added hesitantly, still disoriented.Rena smiled sympathetically, used to Evelyn’s occasional moments of absentmindedness. Standing in line behind Evelyn at the office cafeteria, she asked, “So, how was your first day yesterday?”Evelyn forced a smile as she pointed to one of the dishes for the server. “It was … fine, I think?” she said uncertainly. Memories of her encounter with Linda flashed in her mind. “Although, as you said, Ms. Linda is … difficult.”Rena grabbed her food and followed Evelyn to a table, waving off a coworker to indicate she’d be sitting with the new secretary. “Everyone’s already heard about what happened yesterday,” Rena said casually as they sat across from each other.Evelyn froze, her fork halfway to her mouth. “What do you mean?”

“No need, ma’am. The man on that day left without causing any trouble, and he returned my card,” Julian replied casually.Hearing that, Evelyn sighed in relief. At least Andre hadn’t complicated things further, sparing her the ordeal of paying him off. “I’m glad to hear that,” she said with a soft smile.Though she owed Julian nothing, Evelyn felt grateful for how he had helped her handle Andre Sterling’s unwelcome intrusion.An idea crossed her mind—perhaps she could give him a small gift in return.“What’s your favorite food, Mr. Julian?” Evelyn asked suddenly, catching both Julian and Rena off guard.‘Whoa, go for it, Ms. Evelyn! I support this!’ Rena cheered internally, her mind running wild with possibilities. She assumed Evelyn was trying to flirt with Julian.Though Julian wasn’t in the same league as Adam in terms of status, his tall fr

[KerRea10: Oh, so this is why Linda, Mr. Ryan’s assistant, got fired? She’s pretty, so people are defending her?][Gulali29: Nah, Linda was the problem. She kept dumping work on others, so she got what she deserved.][Renata123: @KerRea10 Linda was just bad at her job. She got fired, and that’s fair. Why blame someone just because they’re pretty?

"Urgh..." A soft groan escaped Evelyn’s lips as she slowly sat up in bed.A sharp throbbing in her head made her wince as she scanned the unfamiliar room, her heart racing at the sight of her strange surroundings.Nothing felt familiar, and the pounding of her heart only grew stronger.Her eyes quickly darted around until they froze in shock, landing on a man—completely naked—lying beside her. And not just any man. His chiseled body, sculpted with perfect muscles, was enough to make any woman weak at the knees.Her breath hitched, and she quickly averted her eyes, only to realize her own shocking state.‘Sh*t!’ she cursed in her mind as she noticed that she, too, was completely naked.Before Evelyn could fully process the situation, the buzzing of her phone on the nightstand caught her attention. She snatched it up and saw countless missed calls and unread messages from her younger sister, Rebecca.[Evelyn! Where are you?! You need to come home now! Dad is furious!]All the messages ca

“How could I enter the wrong room?!” Evelyn screamed internally, panic rising in her chest.She had just made a colossal mistake for the most ridiculous reason!Quickly, she turned on her heel, ready to flee from the scene, praying no one would ever find out—especially not her fiancé.But fate had other plans.“Evelyn?”Just as she was about to bolt, she froze at the sound of a familiar voice.A tall, handsome man stood before her, his face a mix of confusion and pain. His gaze shifted from the hotel room door numbered 1010 to Evelyn, who stood disheveled in front of him.“Andre…” Evelyn’s voice cracked as she spoke his name.Andre Sterling, the only heir to the richest business family in New Santerra, was her fiancé—arranged, but still a man who truly loved her. And Evelyn loved him too.His eyes fell upon the reddish marks scattered across her neck and chest, stark against her skin where the collar of her dress had slipped just a bit. A wave of anger and disbelief crashed over him.

The sound of a loud slap echoed in the Collins family living room. "You shameless girl!" a middle-aged man shouted, his emotions boiling over.Evelyn stood frozen, still shocked from the blow she received just after stepping through the front door."Where were you last night, huh? Who were you with?!" Richard's fierce gaze pierced through her. The dark circles under his eyes showed he hadn't slept well.Evelyn bit her lip, unsure of how to respond. “I was—” she started, clenching her fists.A girl with a pretty face hurried to hold her father's hand. She looked at Evelyn with concern. “Dad! Don’t be too harsh with Evelyn! Let her explain first!”“Be quiet, Rebecca! How can I calm down when your sister was acting like a prostitute last night?!” Richard yelled, filled with rage. He then held up his phone, displaying a video for Rebecca and Evelyn. “Look at this!”The video showed a blurry figure of a man entering room 1010.

“What did you just say?!” Evelyn’s sharp voice rang through her office. Her face turned pale as she hastily gathered her things, keeping her phone pressed against her ear. “How could you not notice the kids were gone?!” she snapped, revealing a fiercer side of herself.Dealing with Linda’s impossible demands had been bad enough, but now the nanny she trusted to care for Liam and Lily had failed to notice them disappearing. How could this happen?Struggling to stay calm, Evelyn ordered the panicked nanny on the other end of the line, “Report it to building management immediately. Ask them to check the security cameras. I’m coming ho—”“Mommy!”The loud cry from the doorway stopped Evelyn mid-sentence. Two little figures came sprinting toward her, throwing their tiny arms around her waist.

The next morning, Evelyn arrived at the office, her long legs accentuated by tailored black pants paired with a deep navy blouse. Her straight hair was half-tied, framing her sharp, elegant features. As she walked through the office, she remained oblivious to the admiring glances of several male employees.Reaching the office door Rena had pointed out the other day, she knocked lightly before stepping inside. “Excuse me,” she said, her voice soft yet clear.Inside, two desks faced each other. One was occupied by a woman in her thirties with impeccably styled wavy hair. She wore a white blouse with a plunging neckline and a fitted pencil skirt, her attire emphasizing her curvaceous figure.At the sound of Evelyn’s voice, the woman turned sharply, her eyes narrowing as if irritated by the interruption. She gave Evelyn a slow, deliberate once-over, her gaze dripping with judgment.“You must be Evelyn Sinclair,” she said in a cli

Evelyn took a deep breath, then explained her run-ins with Adam. She told Anita how he stared at her suspiciously, commented on her familiar scent, and even questioned if they’d met before.Anita listened closely, her chin resting on her hand as she took it all in. "Are you going to ask him for anything?" she asked gently when Evelyn finished."Ask Adam Dean for what? Compensation?" Evelyn scoffed, flopping back against the couch. "He’d think I was just another woman trying to milk him for cash," she replied with a sigh, recalling Rena’s earlier stories about Adam. "He’s a regular Casanova; he’s used to women chasing after him.""Then, are you still planning to work there?" Anita asked, guilt tinging her voice. She had encouraged Evelyn to return to New Santerra in the first place. "I could help you find something else.""No need," Evelyn replied firmly.
