Eve's Obsession Chapter 7 – Shower of Good Luck
(Cal's POV)I shook my head, my eyes pinned on her. With a furrowed brow, I lifted her resume and waved it to them. My gaze shifted to her face, trying to recall where I had seen or met her, but my memory failed me.“Have we met before?” I asked, still studying her features, searching for any recognizable detail that could jog my memory, but nothing seemed to click.Her head moved with a forceful shake. “No, this is our first time to meet,” she muttered with conviction, emphasizing each word. I nodded, hiding my amusement. “And this will be my first time interviewing an applicant from afar.”“Oh!” Her face turned crimson.She lowered her gaze, but it was only for a while. When she raised her head, she gave Bethany a dagger look, but my best employee puckered her lips, and then she burst out laughing with Bob.“Get in. He won’t bite you,” Bob promised, gesturing his hand to her to enter the room.This time, she did not resist. As if counting her steps, she walked toward the chair Bob
Eve's Obsession Chapter 8 – My Own Sweet Temptation
(Eve's POV)“Eve, what is wrong with you?” Bethany talked in a hushed tone even though we were outside Callahan’s office.“What is wrong with me?” My eyes grew bigger as if it was enough to emphasize to my friend that everything was wrong. “Didn’t you hear Bob?”Thinking Callahan knew me, I almost had a cardiac arrest when he mentioned my name earlier. But then, I realized we had not met in person because today was yesterday, and yesterday did not happen yet. I still could not move on with that issue. Bethany and I did not go to the office to get the dress she would lend me because I wore Moira’s gift. Without Wyatt mentioning the gift, I did not dare go to the room where I found the dress… Besides, it only happened in my dream.Although things were different, I again met Callahan in an inconvenient way.“I heard his every word, Eve. Secretary work isn’t a joke,” she said, puckering her lips. “I work here, and good heavens, I knew how challenging it is to work with Callahan. He’s a wo
Eve's Obsession Chapter 9 – Press, Leave, Run
(Eve’s POV)“The secretary first,” Bob instructed the show's lead makeup artist, his voice in a panic. “Hurry!”Jill acknowledged him with a nod. She gave her staff a few instructions and then left her post to come to my aid as if I were an emergency. When she was done, she called the hairstylist to complete my look for the evening.I could have done it myself, but Bethany told me to focus on the list, saying this was my first test, so I had to let the company’s hair and makeup artists do their job while I studied the files. Bethany and Bob debated for a while, but eventually, they settled on a breathtaking V-neckline gown adorned with eye-catching forest-green sequins.“I’m not wearing that,” I murmured, shaking my head.“Yes, you are, darling. In events like this, you will always be the CEO’s date.” He pursed his lips, narrowing his eyes as if thinking of the right words to say. “Even if he has a date, you have to be on his side… or behind him, ready to give information or take note
Eve's Obsession Chapter 10 – The Sweetest Revenge
(Cal’s POV)I winced as I stepped out of the bathroom and had to stay motionless until the buzzing in my ears stopped. I groaned, my head aching as the wave of memories flooded my memory. Worse, they came in fragments, falling into my head in a million pieces of puzzle as if it would give me an accurate picture of that memory if I successfully put them together.My heart raced with anticipation as I looked at the bed. I had this eerie feeling that someone was supposed to be there, but my mind was blank, and I could not remember who that someone could be. I heaved a deep sigh and turned my head to the door, hearing the doorbell chime. Who could it be? Bob and Millicent knew I hated being disturbed by the doorbell.I wrapped the fluffy towel around my waist and walked toward the door, ignoring the droplets of water that trailed down my skin. I made my way towards the door to check who it was, and when I got closer, I peeked through the peephole but did not see anyone. I took a deep brea
Eve's Obsession Chapter 11 – The Change of Heart
(Cal’s POV)“Congratulations!” Bob’s face lit up with a triumphant smile as he handed me a crystal glass filled with a deep red liquid.When I did not answer, he followed the direction of my gaze. The two best friends were at the table; Eve, with her animated gestures, was engrossed in conversation with Bethany. Whatever they were talking about seemed to be a source of amusement for them. They were laughing at something… or maybe someone.“How’s Eve?” I asked, taking the glass from him.I had my eyes on Eve while sipping the wine. Before the event, I told Bob about her relationship with Marcus, but as expected, my cousin didn’t care about it. He said he was indebted to Bethany, not to Millicent or me.“That’s the consequence of you hiring someone immediately without checking the background,” he said annoyingly when I instructed him to fire Eve tonight. “I’m not firing anyone tonight. If you want, do it yourself.”Yes, I would do that tonight. Instead of offering her a contract, I woul
Eve's Obsession Chapter 12 – Which Was More Dangerous?
(Cal’s POV)Any sane woman would be terrified and look for help immediately. As expected, the children cried and dashed toward her. Isabella wrapped her arms around her waist, screaming in fear, but Eve remained calm. She bent her knees, putting the boy down and kissing the little girl’s head.“It’s okay, baby,” she assured calmly. “Stay here, okay?” she said, kissing the top of her head.A faint sigh escaped Eve’s mouth as she glanced at the older boy, struggling to breathe. He must be Cooper, the boy that Eve mentioned earlier. Diana has had asthma since she was a baby, and he looked like he was suffering from it.Eve turned around, squeezing her eyes shut and opening them as if waking herself up. Lisa, my late wife, would panic at this situation, but when Eve looked at me, a smile was plastered on her lips.“I’m so glad you insisted on taking me home, Mr. Barclay -”“Cal,” I corrected, giving her the bags.She took them immediately and crouched down, opening the bag tote bag simila
Eve's Obsession Chapter 13 – We Are Rich
(Eve’s POV)Callahan pressed his mouth into mine, kissing me fiercely like he had been angry and hungry. I could not decide which of the two was the reason, but I was just glad he had satiated my cravings. He was the sweet dessert I had dreamed of tasting. He thrust his tongue into my parted lips, delving deeper and exploring my mouth. When he found my tongue, his demanding but sweet invitation told me he wanted more.This was definitely not a dream. I wrapped my arms around Callahan’s neck and pressed my breasts against his chest, wanting to feel his warm skin and think this was real. His hand was on the back of my head, pushing me toward him like he wanted to ensure I would not escape from him.I moaned and eagerly responded to the stroke and swirl of his tongue. If that night in the hotel was a dream, then Callahan did meet my expectations. He was indeed an expert kisser. Tension built up inside me as he kissed me harder, and then he groaned, breaking the kiss and grabbing my shoul
Eve's Obsession Chapter 14 – The Perfect Sunday
(Eve’s POV)“Marga!”Isabella cried excitedly as she saw Marga when I opened the front door.Theo and Isabella ran toward her, but my little boy seemed to have a brake on his feet, stopping before them. My daughter wrapped her arms around her waist and then pressed her ear to Marga’s belly as if she could hear the baby’s heartbeat.“Wow!” Bethany curled her lips. “I bought you breakfast the other day, brought you here, and I never got that excited hug from you.”Isabella giggled, easing back from Marga and puckering her lips as she hugged Bethany. “Thank you, Bethany. You’re the best!” Bethany lowered her head to get a sweet kiss from my daughter.“Thank you,” Theo murmured softly and moved closer to Marga and Bethany, kissing their cheeks.“Marga, Mom brought us to the supermarket today, and she bought us a looooootttt of stuff!” Isabella muttered excitedly, walking between my best friends as they entered the foyer.My daughter’s eyes sparkled as she moved her arms upward, gesturing
