"We've taken all the orange juice out of the house, Madam." Elena entered the bedroom with a tray of food. "As you've requested, there is only pineapple juice.""Thank you, Elena." Eve took the food tray and placed it on her lap. She glanced at the empty space beside her on the bed and couldn't help but sigh inside. Of all days and weeks, Ethan had to go on an emergency business trip. She'd been happy that she'd successfully coaxed him to spend the whole week with her cuddling, but the next day after the incident, he just had to disappear. "Why do you look sad, Madam?" Elena sat beside her. "I hope it's not about the Young Master again.""Who else could it be?" Eve grumbled and slowly ate her food. "Ethan is seeking trouble, Elena, why couldn't he go with me?" After all, she was his secretary. "Well, you should understand the Young Master's reasoning, Madam. How could he travel with you when you'd just been kidnapped recently?""That isn't enough reason." Eve pouted. Besides, she'd
"Madam. Madam." Eve could feel someone tapping her cheek. Something cold dribbled down her face and she fought to open her eyes. "Thank goodness, Madam." Elena's face appeared in her vision. Eve struggled to sit up and pressed a hand to her pounding forehead. "W–What happened, Elena?""You fainted on the stairs." Elena helped her up. "Madam, please tell me you're not alright so we can go to the hospital."Eve's eyes wandered around the living room as she tried to take in her surroundings. "I fainted?" She asked and Elena nodded. The large doors opened and a maid walked inside. "Madam, you've woken up. Thank heavens." The maid smiled and hurried forward. "Here's some glucose. It can help replenish your energy."Eve took the glucose jar from her and took some of it. How the hell did she faint?"Madam–""Don't worry, Elena. I'm fine." Eve kept the glucose aside and looked up. "But you just fainted, Madam." "Seriously, it's nothing to worry about." Eve let out a dry laugh, doing her
Eve rubbed her forehead and groaned inside. What was this crazy guy doing here? Didn't he promise never to set foot here again?"I know you can hear me, Evelyn! Open the door now so that this Young Master can have his revenge!"Eve slid her legs down the bed and shuffled her feet into her slippers. She sprang up then rushed to the door and locked it. "Evelyn, come out!" Matt banged at the door and Eve turned around and entered the bathroom. After washing up and changing into a simple dress, she applied light makeup to conceal her eye bags, then she picked up a perfume bottle and slowly approached the door.She placed her ear on the door– no sound. Matt must have left. And she unlocked the door then opened it after putting the perfume bottle away.Eve stepped into the empty hallway, and she sighed in relief then walked down the stairs. Matt was nowhere in sight. Did she just imagine his voice?She ate up some of her breakfast then left the dining area and walked out of the house towa
Eve held her stomach and stepped out of the house, sighing heavily. The nausea kept increasing. She threw up more than twenty times yesterday, and the Stewardess's worry increased with each passing moment. Not a moment went by without Elena urging her to go to the hospital. "Where are you off to, Madam?" Elena met her in the doorway. "You're sick, Madam. You're not thinking of going to work, right?"Eve squinted her eyes at the sun before looking at the woman. "Erhm, it's almost afternoon. I wouldn't go to work at this time of the day.""Are you sure, Madam?" Elena narrowed her eyes. "Yeah. I'll go to the hospital and come back," Eve replied and held the straps of her bag tight. "Finally." Elena's expression eased with relief. "Please do go to the hospital. And make sure you tell the doctor every symptom you've been experiencing recently. Would you like me to go with you?""No, please don't." Eve waved her hand. "I'll be fine, Elena. I've already made the appointment last night. T
After collecting the drugs from the pharmacy, Eve left the hospital with the driver. She sat on the back seat and closed her eyes, caressing her stomach. No one must know. Ethan must not know that she was pregnant. Otherwise, that man might stop her from going out. He could stop her from working or going to his company, and that would be bad. "Please drop me at Ethan's company," she said to the driver. "Madam, you said you'd only visit the hospital. Besides, the Young Master is not around—""Urgh. Just drop me there. I have some things to take care of. You can come pick me up later. I'll give you a call.""Alright, Madam." The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Eve stared at her wristwatch then her stomach grumbled. She asked the driver to drop her at the entrance, then she brought out her face mask and wore it. She walked inside the company and headed to the cafeteria. After grabbing some food and some snack, she dropped them inside her bag and walked out through
"Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?" Eve folded her hands and raised a brow. "You did a nice job in using plastic to conceal the scar on your nose. If you like it that much, I'd be glad to break it into two.""Mrs. Anderson." Jessie covered her nose and glared at her. "If I were you, I wouldn't think of repeating the same mistake twice.""What mistake?" Eve chuckled and cracked her knuckles. "I don't see it as a mistake, Jessica. I was in my right mind and I can repeat it now.""You should be thankful that you're the president's wife." Jessie scoffed, admiring her fingernails. "I swear if you dare cross me again, I won't be very nice."Eve shook her head at the girl, smiling. "You know what, Jessica? Just take your eyes off my husband and we won't be enemies anymore.""You can keep dreaming about that." Jessie rolled her eyes and the elevator came to a stop at the finance department. "By the way." She glanced over her shoulder after stepping out of the elevator. "The preside
Eve stilled for a few seconds and she avoided the woman's scrutinizing eyes. "Erm, what made you guess that, Elena?" She fiddled with her hands and sat on the bed. "I'm not guessing. It is obvious, Madam.""Come on, Elena. You're overthinking again." Eve tried to force her a smile. "If I was pregnant, aren't you the first person I'll tell?""I am a woman, Eve. And I've experienced similar symptoms." Elena sat on a chair, facing her. "If you're right about what the doctor said, then they must have made a wrong diagnosis. I advise you to go see another doctor.""The doctor didn't make any wrong diagnosis." Eve shook her head. "You know my nature, and you know how eager I am to get pregnant. If it was positive, don't you think I would be throwing a party by now?""Let me see your hand.""Why, Elena?" Eve shifted away. "Madam, let me see those drugs the doctor prescribed for you.""Urgh, seriously." Eve put on an offended look. "I implore you to please respect my privacy, Elena. I've to
Argh! Damnit! That man almost gave her a heart attack. What was with that angry tone?Eve left the bedroom the next morning and walked down the stairs. She even had a nightmare that she'd given birth to one baby and Ethan was chasing her with a knife. She patted her chest again then sat on a chair and her eyes surveyed the food. "Good morning, Madam. I hope you slept well." Elena appeared from the kitchen direction and placed more food on the table."Yes, thank you, Elena." Eve picked at her food. "I hope you also slept well." "I did, Madam." The Stewardess smiled then turned around to head back to the kitchen, but Eve stopped her. "Urm, Elena." She shifted on the chair and faced her. "I'm so sorry for yelling at you last night. My tongue lost control and I...""Oh, please don't apologize." Elena shook her head, her eyes widening. "You didn't do anything wrong, Madam. It was my fault for intruding too much."Eve lifted her head and stared at the woman. She sighed inside then looke
