Sasha's POVI was working with Eva in the kitchen when my phone started ringing in my apron. Jeez. I nearly flinched knowing the fact that it might be him calling.I glanced at Eva to see her stylishly shooting me glares while her hands on the chopper.“Won't you answer that?” She asked, referring to the phone that was already in my hands and I just smiled awkwardly.“Oh yeah, actually I'm going to take this. I'll be back,” I replied almost immediately before walking out of the kitchen, making sure she doesn't follow me until I got to a particular place I knew no one would eavesdrop on me.And right now, I am being on a call with Aaron as he ordered me to be his eyes and ears and I couldn't believe my ears. I knew I'd given those files to him, but I didn't expect it to go to this extent. I saw the posts made on Laura's blog site but immediately, I noticed that they got deleted. That must be the reason there was anger in his voice.“Are you sure you want me to do that? You might be put
Laura's POVI noticed someone was at the door when the door handle twisted from the inside, causing me to shift my gaze from Eric to the door.“What is it?” His deep voice sent shivers down my spine as he stared in the direction I was looking at—The door.Someone was obviously standing there.“I think someone's at the door.” I muttered, dragging my feet to see whoever was at the door and the moment I opened it, I saw Sasha before me, showing of her prefect dentition.What the fuck!Couldn't she possibly knock so we'd be aware of her presence?My face formed a small smile to hide my disapproval upon seeing her. “Hi, Sasha. Were you at the door for so long?” I couldn't stop myself from asking when Eric came behind me, obviously staring at her.She bowed slightly upon seeing him and for some reason, I found my eyes rolling. “No. I haven't been at the door. I just got here, ma'am.” She replied sharply and I nodded, lifting a brow.Okay, this was suspicious.“What do you need, Sasha?” Eric
Laura's POV“What? How did you know about female thing?” I shot him a hard glare, sliding my eyes back to my meal, and he shrugged like it was a normal thing.“It's normal. Besides, I know alot about it and I can say you're overreacting. You should get a good sleep, don't you think?” He asked, grinning at me and I frowned.“Fuck you.” I mouthed.He gasped. “Did my sister just say use swear words? What!” He gasped again, covering his mouth like it was something new while I just rolled my eyes.“Whatever.” I muttered, trying to open up and eat even though I knew I couldn't because I kept thinking about my calendar month. I knew I didn't miss last time and now, I thought I'd seen it, but that's when realization struck me that I hadn't really seen it.Oh, gosh. Let it not be what I'm thinking.Was it the reason I had been throwing up recently? “No, it can't be. Just stop thinking about it, Laura.” I blurted out before I could stop myself, earning a look from my brother.“What? Don't look
Eric's POVAs we stepped into the elevator, I noticed Laura's expression. She looked like someone who would tear up any moment but was trying to stop herself. I literally heard the murmurs from the side angles about her, but I chose to act numb. It was useless trying to clarify them anyway. And that's why I decided to throw a meeting with the press—To clarify things to them. Until now, Tyler couldn't still track whoever had done that to me. I knew for sure it wasn't Laura, and for some reason I didn't understand why I trusted her, but I did anyway. No harm, right?As soon as we came out of the elevator, we were welcomed by flashing cameras clicking everywhere and there. The press were hovering around us to listen to whatever we had to say but I just interlock my fingers with that of Laura's, heading to my office where Tyler was.“Hey, bro!” He called almost immediately he saw me walked in, but his expression changed as soon as he saw Laura who flashed him an awkward smile.He stared
Laura's POVI didn't realize Tyler and Eric would be this close until I witnessed their little show in Eric's office before Eric took me to the meeting room. To be sincere, I felt the pounding in my chest as I walked past the crowd of press trying to hover around us. Thankfully, Eric held me in place.I was once a journalist, but I never really liked being the talk of the day. That last time I did that which was humiliating Eric's name, I regretted it and promised myself never to show up in such kind of situation again but here I was, back to another similar situation.To another nightmare, my eyes wandered to the direction Eric was glaring at, Aaron. Aaron was here as well? What was he doing here?“Eric,” I called lowly, trying to make him realize he'd been staring at him for too long. Eric turned to me and nodded softly before resting on his chair. I could still see him glaring at Eric.I guessed this was a meeting for most powerful men and that's why Aaron was involved. That's what
Aaron's POVEric has won this round, he won't win the next round. No way will I let that happen. I must say, he really got a sharp tongue to twist his words to the press, even to prove to the others. I came here through the help of the few people I had my ways with in the company. Furthermore, I received an information Eric was to be meeting with the press and that's why I came to watch physically, and he really got away with this one.“Right, Laura?” I asked again when Laura seemed to be lost in something she seemed to be thinking, making me crease my brows.What was she thinking about?“Laura? Are you okay?” I watched Eric touch her shoulders as she asked and I scoffed silently.“I never knew this was real after all. I thought we were all fooling the press,” I added with a smirk, enjoying the look on their faces.I was clearly aware that Eric lured Laura into a fake marriage because of what she did to him. But I think this marriage of a thing was beginning to turn into a real thing
Laura's POV“We will be heading back home, Tyler. I suggest you do the same,” I listened to Eric grumble as Tyler rolled his eyes.“So I just waited here for nothing? Just admit it that you love me, dude.” Tyler argued.“Love? Fuçk you, Tyler.” Eric glared.“I should have left a while ago if you're just going to bring me here without saying any important thing. Can't believe I spent half of my day in this damn office! You'll pay for this Eric Sloan,” He warned and I laughed.“Don't laugh,” He frowned.“You're really something else, Tyler.”“I think by tomorrow we should be able to track whoever made the posts for the past few days. My source is getting a track and I don't think I'm liking where it's pointing at, Eric.” Tyler clicked his tongue as he said. As if sighing in a pity, causing my ears to perk up in anticipation.“What do you mean?” Eric asked.Tyler ran his hands into his hair and ran it over his face before replying gently. “I think Aaron has something to do with it.” “I
Laura's POV“That's good, I'm glad you're here.” Mrs. Corazon said to me, pulling me close to her as my eyes wandered around for any sight of Eric, but he was nowhere nearby. Where the hell did he disappeared to?“You know, you're making me remember Agatha.” Mrs. Corazon said again, pulling a chair for me to sit as she sat opposite me.“Agatha?” I asked, quirking my brows and she shrugged.“Yes, she travelled, remember? I'm saying you're making me remember her. She caused you a lot of problems didn't she?” She drawled curiously, sliding a potato in her mouth.I chuckled inwardly as I parted my lips to reply her when Eric's voice came suddenly. “Mum, Dad isn't around?” My eyes followed Mrs. Corazon's own to see Eric approaching us.“Don't tell me you've suddenly gone blind, Eric? Did you see his car parked outside?” Mrs. Corazon muttered, and I trusted myself to chuckle seeing Eric's expression as he rolled his eyes.“It was just a simple question, Mum.” He groaned and Mrs. Corazon sc
