GEORGE'S POV I paled at the chairman's question. I hadn't expected that he would know about my girlfriend's involvement.The only reason he had involved Cindy in the decision-making process at the company was to please her. I never would have expected that it would come back to bite me in the ass like this. I couldn't even deny it. Not after all the attention Cindy had brought to herself and her relationship with me. If Dickson Mateo had told the chairman about her and I dared deny it, then I would land in even more trouble."It's true, sir" I replied, sounding as remorseful as I could."I'm so disappointed in you," the chairman spat."Is that why you rejected the draft the Edwards Group submitted to you in the beginning? | checked those drafts, and they were perfect for our project. I was waiting to hear that the project was underway, only to hear that the drafts had been replaced. The first draft was far better than the second one that you approved. Do you think this company is a

EVE'S POV The next day, Juliet called me to her office. When the she told me that my design had been re-adopted by the Wheatstone's Company, I couldn't believe it.Yesterday, when Cindy left, she had threatened that she would ask her boyfriend to cancel the collaboration with the Edwards Group. I had actually thought that the CEO of Wheatstones would do as his girlfriend requested. I for one knew how much Cindy would like to have her way after the way Dickson had humiliated her before the entire department."I'm so happy to hear this. I didn't think that the project would be going on anymore.""Well, Mr Matettalked to the chairman of the group of companies Wheatstone's belongs to, and he handled the matter. The chairman demoted the Wheatstone's CEO for the mishandling of the project and for involving his girlfriend. So he is no longer involved in the decision making, and most importantly, neither is she”,"That's great" I said, surprised at how everything had been handled. From the v

DICKSON'S POV "What?" I asked, stunned by Eve’s question. What on earth did she mean? "What are you talking about?",When I had gotten Eve’s message asking to see me, I had thought she had a concern to share about work. After all, ever since she joined the company, trouble seemed to always be following her. This was the first time she had asked to see me, though, and I was afraid something else had happened. I never would have expected her to ask me whether I had a crush on her. What had I done to give her that idea?Her smooth brow creased as she fidgeted with her hands on her lap. "I mean...I thought...you've been helping me a lot since I started here, and..”,“You are wrong," he cut her off. "I do not have any kind of personal interest in you. Like I said, I'm only doing my job here. Please leave my office."Her eyes widened. "Sir, I….”,“Do you have anything else to say?","No""That'll be all, then. I have a meeting to get to, so please leave",She nodded, still looking spoo

EVE'S POV After Dickson asked, more like ordered me to leave his office, I went back to my department and trudged to my desk in low spirits. I was worried that I might have offended him. My earlier confidence to set things straight was gone. In the aftermath, I felt that I had been too brazen, and that I never should have allowed my fears to take charge. He must have found it so inappropriate of me to ask him such a question. Just because he showed concern and acted promptly whenever I faced an obstacle, didn't mean he had intentions similar to my former department director. Maybe he really was just very diligent at his job.The next day in the morning, I was heading for the elevator when I noticed Dickson standing there, waiting for one too. Glad to get a chance to apologise to him, I hurried forward. He noticed me immediately when I stopped in front of him, and I noticed how his eyes widened instantly."Good morning, sir", I greeted, my heart hammering nervously in my chest."Mo

EVE'S POV Over the weekend, i spent most of my time working on the final draft for the Wheatstone's Project design. After my draft had been re-adopted, I had needed to prepare a more detailed plan that was to be used for the project. I had barely rested at all over the weekend as I pushed myself to make it perfect. I didn't believe Cindy’s taunts that I was talentless and didn't belong to a company like the Edwards Group, but I still wasn't taking any chances.I was determined to give nothing but the best, until I was satisfied that it was the best plan I could come up with.By the time Monday came along, there were dark circles under my eyes, and anyone who took a look at me could tell I hadn't rested at all.When I got to work, I headed to the design director's office and submitted the final draft. She was to review it, submit it to the Wheatstone's Company, and then await their final approval. And If all went as planned, we would get an answer from the client within the day.I ke

MORGAN'S POV That day, I got back home at midnight. I expected Eve to be asleep already, but to my surprise, she was in the kitchen, baking cookies."Hi" she greeted cheerfully when I appeared in the kitchen doorway. "How was your day?"Smiling at her cheerfulness, which I found quite odd at such a late hour."It was good, thanks. Why aren't you asleep yet?",I had barely seen her for the past weekend, because she had ended up spending most of her time at the company, working on the final design for the Wheatstone's project. She had looked awfully tired that morning, and I thought that once her design was approved, she would take the opportunity to have a good rest. Instead, here she was, baking at midnight."I haven't seen much of you for the past three days because l've been working overtime, so I wanted to wait for you tonight.""Oh" I said, as a warmth spread in my inside.Doed she realise how that sounded? It was like we were a real couple. Had she missed me? I knew i had misse

EVE'S POV I was stunned to hear Morgan's confession. I couldn't understand why he became jealous so easily. I had no interest in Sylvester Edwards, not that it would matter if I did. I had never met him, and as I had pointed out, I was just an ordinary worker while he was the CEO of the Edwards Group. His only interest in me was because I was his employee. And, I was only saying nice things about him, because he was a good boss. I hadn't thought it would make Jacob feel bad. I straightened from my position on the counter and gave him an apologetic smile. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel like that."While I hadn't anticipated his jealousy, it sure made e feel all sorts of giddy. I knew it shouldn't matter to .e whether he was jealous of me talking excitedly of another man. He was my pretend husband. So i shouldn't get giddy because he got jealous. But knowing that fact didn't keep me from feeling warm all over.When he stood from his stool and came around the counter to me

EVE'S POV "Mine or yours?", Morgan asked when a while later, he led me by the hand towards the bedrooms.I looked between the two doors. Was I really doing this? Sparks flew up my arm from where he caressed my wrist with his thumb. Yes, I really was."Yours" I replied. I had never been in his room before. So I wanted to be laid on his bed and surround myself with his scent."As you wish;' he said, reaching for his door and pushing it open. He caught me by surprise seconds later when he hooked his arm below my knees and the other around my back scooping me off my feet."What are you doing?" I asked, even as I wrapped my arms around his neck securely."Carrying you over the threshold" he said, stepping into the room and then kicking the door shut. "This is the first time you are coming into my room. It's momentous.”I smiled like a fool as I looked up at him, a strange warmth spreading over my insides. He was really a handsome man. I must have thought that a hundred times already,
