ELLA'S POV When I was asked to see the vice president first thing in the morning, I never could have imagined it would be concerning Eve's interview and her subsequent rejection. After having the panel reject her the previous day, I had slept like a baby, happy that I had finally executed my revenge. Keeping Eve out of the company almost made up for that time in college when I lost the scholarship to her. And, not only had I managed to cost her a job at the prestigious Edwards Group, but also I had tarnished her reputation at the same time. I had been certain that once the words spread in the industry, Eve would have a hard time finding a job elsewhere.With all the happy imaginations in my head, I hadn't foreseen what was currently happening, sitting opposite a righteous-looking Eve, under the strict scrutiny of the Edwards Group's, vice president.Why was Dickson paying so much attention to Eve's case, anyway? The man rejected hundreds of applicants daily and forgot about it. If

HENRY'S POV I shot a curious glance at my boss in the backseat and quickly looked away. I had just brought the luxury car to a stop outside the house that he frequented nowadays. I couldn't, for the life of him, figure out what he was up to. Especially as he removed his designer suit and pulled on a shabby jacket over his shirt.I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel, wondering whether to ask the questions in my mind or not. I didn't want to cross any boundaries, but this was beyond astonishing, and I couldn't help the curiosity. Besides, I wasn't getting paid to stick my nose into my boss's personal business…In fact, sticking it where it wasn't wanted would be a sure way of losing my pay.After changing into the jacket, Morgan went ahead to remove his Italian leather dress shoes and replaced them with work boots.My attention went back to the neighborhood outside. Surely this car looks out of place in such a place, and especially outside the shabby home Morgan was using.“Come

EVE'S POV Finally, I completed the third round of the interview at the Edwards Group and was now officially hired. After the debacle with Ella was out of the way, the rest of the process had been smooth, and I completed my interviews confident, knowing that I would be judged fairly. Eventually, I passed all three rounds and signed an employment contract with the company.On the morning of my first day at work, I went by the flower shop to buy myself congratulatory flowers. I was so excited to begin my career at the company I had always wanted to work at. And getting myself a bunch of flowers seemed well in order. They were the perfect way to symbolise the new beginning in my career. And hopefully bring more luck my way, I hoped.I had just started looking around the shop when an attendant in a bright orange apron approached me. "Welcome to our shop, Miss. ls there anything in particular that you're looking for?".I wished I could spend more time admiring the beautiful flowers and t

EVE'S POVI came to my feet when Dickson got to our table, and so did Daniel beside me."Good afternoon. Ms Luciano" he greeted. "How is your first day going?""Good afternoon, Mr Dickson Mateo. My day has been good" I replied, smiling at him. "Are you having any problems? I mean, Is anyone givingyou a hard time?", he asked, a serious look on his face.His serious expression and firm words surprised me a little. Sure,he had been so helpful during the interview process, so it shouldn't be a surprise, but he sounded very concerned. His manner implied that he was concerned in me not just because I was an employee, but almost as if he had a personal investment in me.Before I could assure him that I wasn't having any trouble at all, Daniel spoke to him. "You don't need to worry about that, Mr Mateo. If Ms Luciano runs into any problems, I'll help her through”, Daniel said.DICKSON POVI turned to Daniel and noticed how he hovered over Eve, as though being overprotective.I cleared my

MORGAN'S POV I scoffed as Eve narrated how she thought Daniel was the one who helped her with the interview. Had I gone through all this trouble to give her a fair shot at the job, only for her to think it was another man who helped her? She must think really highly of the guy."Did he tell you that?" I asked, crossing my arms across my chest. At that point, we were just standing in the middle of the alley, immersed in our argument."No," she replied, blowing away stray strands of hair from her face. "But it makes sense. Nobody else at the company knows me personally, so he's the only one who could have spoken for me against Ella. He's a head designer, so I think he's close to the vice president. Besides, he comes from a powerful family. He probably has some influence around here"The more she talked about the guy, the more my irritation grew. Did she say he was her senior? Did she have a crush on him or something? Just because he was not her lover didn't mean she wasn't intereste

EVE'S POV Morgan and I turned around at the sound of the voice, and our eyes fell on Cindy, standing near a black BMW that was parked outside the nearby building. Beside her was a man I had never seen before."Hi, Cindy" I greeted her tersely, ignoring her earlier words. I wasn't interested in having a fight with her in front of Morgan. Just a few minutes ago, I had told him that everything was fine with my family. If Cindy doesn't back off, he might get the idea that I was hiding something.Instead of replying to my greeting, Cindy turned to the man beside her and hooked her arm through his. "Babe, this is my sister, Eve."Turning back to me, she said, “This is George, my boyfriend”.She didn't even bother introducing Morgan, but that was the last thing on my mind. New boyfriend? What on earth happened to Jake? Wasn't she supposedly pregnant with his child?.As I looked from George to Cindy, Cindy gave me a pointed look, her lips stretched in a closed smile. I quickly realised s

EVE'S POV"What is going on?" I asked when Morgan didn't offer any explanation about the sudden change in our means of transport. "Whose car is this?", I added.He shifted in his seat to look at me. "Since it's your first day at work, I wanted to do something special for you. So I hired this car to pick you up”.I didn't know what to say at first. Of course, the only way he could pick me up with such an expensive car was if he rented one. But why would he go to such an extent? We weren't even a real couple. Still, it warmed my heart that he wanted to do something special for me on my first day at work.“Thanks" I said to him. "It's a nice ride", I added.It was better than nice. It was the kind of car only the very wealthy drove, and I knew that meant the renting fee had to be quite high. While it was nice that he thought to do this for me, I couldn't ignore the financial implication. I was out of cash and he was making money on a part-time job. We just couldn't afford to splurge

EVE'S POV In the evening of my third day at the Edwards Group, Daniel appeared at my desk when it was time to go home. I hadn't seen much of him for the past two days now, besides when we had lunch together. Part of it was because I was avoiding him actively. Even though Morgan had accepted my explanation about our relationship, I didn't want to risk another misunderstanding. The other reason was because we weren't in the same departments and were both busy at work.When he appeared, I was gathering my things, ready to leave. Most of my co-workers had already left."l came by to see if you want us to get off work together?", Daniel asked when he got to my desk.The request was innocent enough, I suppose. But I couldn't help thinking about the last time we had left the building together.When I hesitated, he added. "l haven't seen much of you these last couple of days, I was hoping to catch up. You can tell me about how you're getting along with work."I appreciate his concern, I r
