All Chapters of Billionaire's Charming Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The last strength she thought she would have preserved for more job interviews, escaped her. Evelyn couldn't stop staring at the spot where she had seen Lucas with that woman. Her head played the scene over and over and she couldn't get it out.Evelyn went about the day to different companies for interviews but she did so with a heavy heart.The pit in her stomach and the sinking feeling in her chest suddenly came crashing to her. Had she been somewhat expectant of this arranged marriage?When did she place a little hope and faith in it to feel this overwhelming pull of disappointment?Throughout the ride back home, her thoughts were all over the place.Evelyn couldn't think straight and everything felt heavy. She hated it. She hated how she felt about this.She knew Lucas didn't love her and heck- she didn't love him too. They were just a contract couple. She knew this yet why was she stuck in this feeling?Maybe somewhere deep down, she had hoped to create a real family out of this.

"Bitch?" Evelyn mumbled. What was she being accused of this time? Last time she checked, she had walked out of the Graham's dinner party not upsetting anyone and besides, what were they doing here?Diana noticed they had gained quite the attention and a thought crossed her mind. She would do it so that Evelyn never showed her face here ever again!"I am ashamed of you, Evelyn!" she screamed at the top of her voice that anyone who didn't want to listen, would still get the full gist."Fantasising about your sister's boyfriend? How very despicable of you! Have you no shame? Even after getting married, you won't stay the fuck away from people's men!"Ever since Jackson found out Olivia lost the baby, their relationship had deteriorated and they hardly saw him at the mansion anymore.If her daughter's life was going shitty, why should Evelyn have it any easier? Strolling in and out of the hospital like she can afford to pay Peter's bills when they knew she couldn't!Olivia was trembling a

"Thank you," Evelyn said as the elevators dinged and the man stepped out. "Thank you so much," she said again but he simply smiled and walked away.She heaved a sigh, feeling lucky to have met someone so kind on her first day. This was a good sign.When she finally got to the department store, the noise she heard coming from there made her nervous.She walked carefully till she saw her colleagues, moving back and forth getting work done. Everyone had their hands full so Evelyn almost felt intimidated.The sounds of their typing and flipping of books filled her with so much expectations and she stared at them with so much admiration.The atmosphere was what she liked; not being a waiter at some Casino or doing some odd jobs-- this was her field."You're the new girl, right?" a pretty lady walked up to her with a big smile and a warm reception."Yes.""Come," she sized her up. "I'll show you to your table." She led the way and Evelyn followed her in silence before she got her own desk,

After a nice dinner with Alex, Evelyn took a cab home. She felt a tad nervous after mentioning the salary advance especially after his reaction."Oh!" He sat up straight, blinking in shock. "I didn't expect that but uhm… there are requirements for such and one of them is that you're supposed to have worked for the company for a certain period of time," he scratched his forehead looking sceptical as he spoke."But I guess I could report it to the company just in case," he said. "Let's keep our fingers crossed but Evelyn, don't hope for it too much."She understood what that meant but she also hoped her luck would go before her. If the fee for Peter's treatment wasn't paid within three days, his treatment could be terminated.That alone shook her with fear. She bit down on her nails, thinking of her next line of action.Wait! That dinner with Alex... Did he go home thinking she agreed to dinner just to make profit?"Ugh!" Evelyn put her hands over her face, feeling stupid for a moment t

After a failed attempt to get her earrings back, she dragged herself back home.Lucas didn't return home that night and Evelyn felt half relieved that she didn't bump into him.She went to bed, worried as she thought of ways to get her earrings from Mark. All his offers were too ridiculous. She couldn't forsake her well paying job to work a month free for him or even raise two million dollars!She was in a dilemma the whole night and could barely get any sleep.The next day, her eyes were puffy and she had dark circles and bags under her eyes. She stared back at her reflection, digging around for her make-up kit to blend her face.The brightened look she wore to work didn't last very long and soon, she was dropping her shoulders in devastation before she even knew it.Her work was slow and there were typos in her documents. She apologised many times and after the fourth mistake, her colleagues were frustrated. Having to move one single document back and forth was making them worried.
