CHAPTER THIRTEEN

EVA’S POV

“Oh my goodness!!! I am so sorry.” I said as soon as I realized what I did.

He stared at me coldly for a while and then opened the door and walked out without saying anything.

I knew what he said was wrong but slapping him was where I crossed the limit with him.

After purposely staying in the restroom for a little while longer, I walked out and went to sit down.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Clark on his laptop and I guessed he was working.

I wanted to talk to him and apologize for what I did but I was too scared to do so.

A few hours later, I suddenly jerked awake as the pilot announced our landing and I was surprised as to when I fell asleep.

I looked at Clark and could still see him on his laptop typing with a stern look on his face.

We finally landed and I walked out of the plane first before Clark and a car was already waiting for us.

We both entered the car as we sat as far away from each other as possible and because of the awkward silence between us, I brought out my phone and started playing games with it.

Clark on the other hand was on a long business call and only dropped the phone when we arrived at our destination.

We got down from the car and I couldn't help but admire the place as it was huge and beautiful.

Some ladies came over and helped us carry the luggage in the car inside the apartment.

I didn't know if the place was his but what I knew was that if he had paid to stay in a place like this, it must have cost him a fortune.

“Your luggage is being taken to your room….have some rest and we will begin work tomorrow.” Clark said as he walked away.

For the first time in my entire life I felt so bad for what I did and I had no idea on how to make it up to Clark.

After entering my room, I sat down on the bed as the last of my luggage came in.

“Thank you.” I said to them as they walked away.

It was a really long flight and so I decided to just freshen up and rest because I was already so exhausted.

After doing that, I laid on the bed and suddenly the phone intercom rang.

“Hello??” I said as I answered it.

“Hello ma'am…I am the chef of the house…is there anything you would like to eat??”

“Ohhh well can you just make something light for me? maybe like french toast and tea??”

“Is that all ma'am?? Do you want fruits too??”

“Yes please…that will be all, thank you.” I said.

A few minutes later, my order was ready and delivered to my room but I had little or no appetite to eat.

If I sent the food back just the same way it came, I would feel so bad about wasting it and so I decided to eat a little of it before sending it back.

As I sat on my bed, I became restless and so I decided to take a stroll around the apartment.

I got dressed and walked out and I was amazed at how beautiful the house was and the decorations were explicit.

I got to a place which looked like a lounge and I sat there enjoying the cool breeze.

My phone suddenly started ringing and when I checked the caller Id, It was my Mother calling.

“Hello mom…how are you doing??”

“Eva, where are you??? Have you forgotten that we have your sister's wedding to plan??” She asked.

From the tone of her voice, I could tell she was pissed off and somewhat angry.

“Mom, I am not in the country at the moment….I have very important work to do but I will be back soon.” I said.

“What do you mean you are not in the country?? Don't joke with me Eva.”

“I am very serious mom….I will give you the full details when I get back but for now please continue the wedding preparations and let Rachel know that I will be back soon..I have to go now mother…take care of yourself.” I said as I hung up the call.

The reason I quickly hung up the call was because I knew exactly what my Mother was going to say and I was in no mood for her tantrums.

After spending some time at the lounge, I decided to go back inside to get some rest and then I saw a young lady cleaning the living room.

“Good evening ma'am.” She greeted.

“Good evening…are you the cleaner??” I asked.

“Yes ma'am.” She said.

“Alright…. please do you know where Mr Clark's room is??” I asked.

“When you get to the hallway, it's the second door by your right ma'am.”

“Alright thank you and Weldon.” I said as I walked away.

My room was actually the fifth in the hallway and it only meant that Clark's room wasn't far from mine.

I walked down the hallway and just when I got to Clark's door, I heard him talking.

“I know baby…I miss you so much too.” He said.

I could tell that he was talking to my sister on the phone.

“I will be back soon, my love..but before then, just let me know what you want me to get for you and I will get it.”

When I heard those words, a wave of jealousy hit me and I wished deep down that I was the one getting this love and attention from someone.

I thought Clark wanted me and was giving me signals but from the event that happened in the airplane, I knew he was just messing around with me.

Clark was definitely right by calling me a whore because lusting after my sister's fiance made me look like one and I had to apologize for crossing my boundaries with him.

Just as I was about to raise my hand and knock on the door, Clark opened the door and as I looked at him from head to toe, I saw him half naked and the only reason why I wasn't seeing everything was because he had a towel wrapped around his waist.

“What do you want?!!!”
