A few low chuckles spread through the room, immediately that comment was made.

Evelyn’s smile did not waver.

She walked in calmly, her back straight, her steps steady.

Her eyes lifted toward the head of the table, and for a split second, she paused.

The resemblance was striking. Almost identical to Roman.

‘He must be Marcus.’

The realization settled quickly, but she did not let it show for more than a heartbeat.

She continued forward, looking for a seat.

But each time she reached one, someone s

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 88: The Wrong Impression

    There was a small card inside the box.She paused, then picked it up carefully.Her fingers traced the edge for a moment before she opened it.Roman’s handwriting greeted her.---How is my little wife doing on her first day?I made your favorites, so be good and eat properly. Don’t listen to those old hags and their nonsense.Come home early.I miss you.I want you in my arms tonight.— Your husband---Evelyn’s eyes widened.Then, she squealed. Clutching the card tightly to her chest, she bounced slightly in her chair, unable to contain the sudden rush of happiness bubbling inside her.“He really treats me like a child,” she murmured, but her smile gave her away completely.Without wasting another second, she picked up her fork and started eating.Even as she did, her eyes kept drifting back to the card, rereading it over and over again.—-By the time work hours ended, Evelyn was already packing up.The moment the clock struck closing time, she stood up immediately.Her only thoug

    The mention of the Hayes corporation was enough to stir the room. Low murmurs spread across the table as a few executives exchanged glances.Evelyn’s fingers stilled against the edge of her document.“They have recently inserted themselves into the Westline Commercial Project,” Marcus continued, his voice measured. “A project Sinclair Industries has already heavily invested in.”“That’s ridiculous,” someone said immediately. “They barely survived their last financial crisis.”“They shouldn’t even have the capital for that level of involvement,” another added.Marcus allowed the reactions to settle before speaking again.“They have secured new backing,” he said. “And from the speed of their recovery, it is not a minor one.”His gaze shifted then, slow and intentional, landing directly on Evelyn.“And more importantly, they appear unusually confident.”The implication did not need to be explained.Several heads turned toward Evelyn almost at once.A senior executive leaned forward slig

    A few low chuckles spread through the room, immediately that comment was made.Evelyn’s smile did not waver.She walked in calmly, her back straight, her steps steady.Her eyes lifted toward the head of the table, and for a split second, she paused.The resemblance was striking. Almost identical to Roman.‘He must be Marcus.’The realization settled quickly, but she did not let it show for more than a heartbeat.She continued forward, looking for a seat.But each time she reached one, someone subtly blocked it.She moved to another. A folder appeared on it. Another. A hand rested casually. The message was clear.She was not welcome.Her smile tightened just slightly.When she reached another chair, a man had his leg stretched across it.This time, Evelyn did not hesitate.She stepped forward and kicked his leg off the chair, pulling it back in one smooth motion before sitting down.The room stirred.“What insolence—!” the man snapped, shooting to his feet.“David, you placed your le

    Evelyn tilted her head slightly, her expression composed.“I wasn’t aware the company’s code of conduct includes addressing the CEO so… informally.”Her voice was not loud, yet it carried enough quiet authority to settle between them.For a brief second, the air shifted.Then Amelia scoffed, letting out a soft laugh.“How formal,” she said lightly, though her eyes sharpened. “You’ll find Sinclair Industries isn’t always that rigid.”She shifted her weight, crossing one arm loosely.“I’ve worked with Mr. Sinclair for years,” she continued smoothly. “Some habits tend to stick.”Evelyn held her gaze, unmoved.“I see,” she said calmly. “Then you should also know when to maintain them.”Something flickered across Amelia’s face quickly.The elevator continued its steady ascent, the quiet hum filling the brief silence between them.Amelia recovered quickly, her bright expression returning as though nothing had happened.“I can see you’ll adjust just fine here,” she said, her tone light aga

    The Sinclair Industries headquarters rose high above the city.Evelyn slowed the car as she pulled into the long driveway leading toward the towering building. For a moment, she simply sat there, staring.She had seen pictures of it before.But standing in front of it now was entirely different.The massive structure gleamed under the morning sun, its polished glass reflecting the surrounding skyline. People in suits streamed in and out through the wide revolving doors, moving with purpose and urgency.It felt… intimidating.Evelyn tightened her grip on the steering wheel.‘This is where Roman built everything.’Her stomach twisted slightly.Behind her, another black car rolled into the driveway and parked several spaces away.Leo stepped out quickly, adjusting the folder tucked under his arm as he walked toward her car.Evelyn stepped out just as he approached.“Boss lady,” Leo said with a quick nod.Evelyn let out a small breath.“Please don’t call me that here.”Leo blinked.“Why

    Soft morning light slipped through the curtains.Evelyn stirred slowly, her lashes fluttering open as warmth surrounded her.For a moment, she didn’t move.Roman’s arm rested over her waist, his chest rising steadily against her back as he slept.Her heart softened instantly.Carefully, she tried to slip out of his embrace so she could freshen up before starting the day.But the moment she shifted, Roman suddenly tightened his arm and pulled her back against him.Evelyn gasped softly in surprise.Her eyes widened. “You’re already awake?”Roman only responded with a sleepy groan, pulling her closer. His nose brushed along the sensitive curve of her neck, the warm breath tickling her skin.She laughed softly. “Roman, you’re tickling me.”Instead of stopping, he suddenly nipped lightly at her neck.At the same time, his body pressed closer, his morning arousal brushing against her thigh.Evelyn stiffened.Her breath grew heavier as warmth pooled low in her stomach.But she quickly steadi

    “ROMAN!” Evelyn cried out, her voice cracking with fear.Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Hartwell rushed into the kitchen the moment they heard her scream.“Oh my God!”Mrs. Chen’s face drained of color as she saw Roman on the floor. She spun to Mrs. Hartwell immediately.“Quickly—call an ambulance!”Then she d

    “Avery!!” Roman called again, his voice thick with emotions he didn’t even try to hide.Evelyn froze. Forgetting about her phobia for hospitals.This time, she heard it clearly. It wasn’t ‘Evelyn’ slurred. Not ‘Lyn’. It was ‘Avery,’ clear as day. A cold knot formed in her stomach. Her throat tighte

    Lena was lounging on her bed, munching on a bag of chips, when her phone buzzed. She glanced at the caller ID and frowned. She really didn’t want to answer. But she had no choice."Hi, Dad.""Hey, you little rascal, did you go on that date I arranged with the young man from the Adler family?"Lena
