Eve got ready for the day and after breakfast, bid her grandfather goodbye. "It's a good thing that you have a job. I hope your Boss is treating you well.""Ethan is my Boss, so normally, he must treat me well, Grandpa."Eve left the house and entered the car. The driver was already waiting for her. They set out for the company and she brought out her phone then glanced at the window. When she arrived, not many employees have come. On her way to the elevator, her phone rang and she answered it. "Hey, Mira." Amanda's voice came. "Today's meeting is crucial, you must be present on time.""Hi, Amanda, sure. I'll come as soon as I can." After the call ended, Eve dropped the phone in her bag and entered the elevator. She came out moments later... The president's area was empty. Sighing in relief, she sat on the cubicle nearest to the office and drew open the drawers. Empty. Jessie didn't leave even a pen behind. Eve rolled her eyes and relaxed back on the swivel chair and she covered
In the dimly lit room, Eve couldn't make out his expression. But he stepped aside moments later, and she strode past him after throwing him another glare. Eve stormed out of the office and dropped onto her swivel chair, fanning herself with both hands. She took a bottle of water out of her bag and gulped it all down. Tiny whispers came from her left and she glanced sideways at the employees who quickly averted their gazes. Eve let out another groan then brought out her phone. Just on cue, the screen lit up with an alert message and she gritted her teeth. "Stop sending me money for goodness sake!" Eve stormed into the office, Ethan was now in his chair. He looked up from his phone and raised a brow. "You're still unhappy.""Who told you I'm unhappy?" Eve strode forward and dropped both hands on her waist. "I'm just furious and disappointed. Ethan, please stop sending me money!""That is your salary for this month," Ethan said calmly."I thought that should be handled by the financ
Seduce the president? Even walked back into the company, shoving the document folder into her bag. She didn't even want to see that man. How was she going to seduce him? "If you can achieve this mission, Mira, and successfully seduce the president, then we won't hesitate from letting you in on every detail about this club. As you already know, there's a lot more to The Ambitious Employees Club than meets the eyes." Amanda's last words resounded in her mind. A lot more to the club. What other conspiracies were they hiding? She grabbed some snacks from the cafeteria, dodging the receptionists' area, and went to the elevator. Eve stepped out of the elevator and walked into Mr. Clinton speaking to one of the employees. "Hey, Mira!" On sighting her, the man waved his hand and hurried forward. Eve grimaced and hid her face with her bag. "Mira." Mr. Clinton approached her as she turned around to head back into the elevator. "Why are you running away, don't you recognize me?" "
"Evelyn, you're back." When Eve got back to the mansion, the family was already having dinner. "Big Sis, you came back.""We thought you'd gone back home, Big Sis. We were disappointed not to find you after returning from school.""Didn't I promise to spend some time with you?" Eve smiled and sat on a chair. "I won't just go back on my words, you know."Her father looked up from his food and squinted his eyes. "Evelyn, are you sure nothing is going on? You've been here for three days straight.""Come on, Dad, are you fed up with me already?" Eve put on an offended look. "Nothing is wrong, I promise.""You– Evelyn." Her father shifted on his chair. "I don't trust this look on your face. This is the exact look your mother gives me whenever she does something wrong and she tries to hide it.""Big Sis, are you sure you're alright?" Her sisters looked shocked. "Don't tell us you have a problem with brother-in-law.""Urgh, guys, come on." Eve sighed and quickly finished up her food. "Eve
Eve barged into the study room, her heart pounding and her body shaking. The three people in the room looked at her. Her grandfather and father looked enraged, and Ethan's eyes flashed with confusion. "Evelyn, good thing you're here. Why didn't you tell us anything, you silly girl?" Her grandfather gave her a disapproving look."You went through that and you hid it from us. Poor girl, did you think we won't stand up for you?" Her father walked forward and hugged her. "D–Dad, Grandpa. A divorce?" Eve pulled away, her eyes going to Ethan. "Yes, Evelyn!" Her grandfather nodded. "I am at fault for forcing you into this marriage. If I wasn't great friends with his grandfather, I wouldn't have agreed to that.""Evelyn." Her father pulled her attention. "You were greatly wronged, and we feel responsible. Don't worry, such things will never happen again. You will not see him anymore. After the divorce, I'll even take you out of this city.""Ah! No, Dad!" Eve gasped and hurried to where Et
Ethan's expression faltered and he gave her a narrow look. "Evelyn–""Shhhh." Eve placed a finger on his lips then pulled him towards her room. She made him sit on the bed then turned around and locked the door. "If I didn't say that, did you think Grandpa would have changed his mind?" Eve folded her hands and pouted. "Ethan, please, for goodness sake, that is not how you fight for your love. Were you planning to do nothing until Grandpa separates us? Weren't you supposed to draw out a sword and sweep me off my feet?"Ethan's eyes wandered around her room, and his gaze strayed to a corner. "Argh! Are you even listening to me, Ethan?" Eve strode forward and stood in front of him. "Yeah." Ethan held her waist and pulled her into his lap. "That was a good show you put up. But what if he finds out it's a lie?""Then we must work hard, Ethan." Eve wrapped both hands around his neck. "Make me pregnant before our cover is blown."Ethan's eyes strayed to that corner again and Eve followed
"Calm down, Eve." Ethan held her in place and made her stand properly. They both barged into the study room and met the two old men engaged in a glaring contest. "Grandpa, what's going on?" Eve looked from her grandfather to Ethan's grandfather. Of course, she didn't need to be told what was going on."It is this old man. Can you believe he doesn't want to apologize, Evelyn? He is even backing up his grandson's misconduct.""Nonsense! That is not misconduct. If you were in his position, you would have done the same," Ethan's grandfather hollered. "Did they give you a hard time, Grandson?" He faced Ethan. "If this Old Man doesn't want to give you back your wife, I say we should leave here and find you another girl immediately.""Ah, Grandpa!" Eve rushed to him and tugged at his arm. "Don't do this to us. Ethan and I love each other. Separating us is like sentencing us to death.""Shut up, Silly girl. How could you spend a night with another man! Isn't my grandson enough for you?""You
"Ethan, can you please make a stop at the police station?" Eve asked as the car drove out of the residential area. "The police station?" Ethan frowned and glanced sideways at her. "Who do you want to meet?""I have a bone to pick with Cole. Please take me there, Ethan." And her mind wouldn't be at ease if she didn't confront that rotten liar. Ethan opened his mouth to speak but Eve's phone rang at that moment. She brought the phone out of her bag and her eyes widened at the sight of the contact display name. "Erhm, Hello?" Eve answered the phone and whispered. "You are truly commendable, Mira. Those photos you sent are great. I have underestimated you again. The Ambitious Employees Club has never gotten such an ardent member.""You're being humble, Amanda." Eve laughed nervously. "I didn't do anything extraordinary.""But seducing the president is an extraordinary thing." Amanda laughed. "Now that you've accomplished this mission, you are fully eligible to know everything the Ambi
