Eden was so sure that Cassandra was never going to agree to this job. But for once she thought of trying. Well aware her place was not a good option for this discussion nor the apartment where Brenda would be present. So, she had to behave so unlikely of her and call Cassandra out for a dinner. After waiting for almost half an hour, an ever so energetic Cassandra reached Eden and settled on the chair across from her. "Sorry, Edie. I got some work to finish. Anyways, what's the urgent matter? It was for the first time you know. It was always Brenda or me to get you to agree to an outing." Cassandra stopped as she read Eden's face, "What's the matter, Edie? Did anything happen?" "Nothing like that. I got a job for you." Eden said, trying to be all smiling. Cassandra knitted her brows in confusion, "For me?" "Yeah." Eden smiled as she asked her to be a part of the team being an announcer for a big project where she would earn a handsome amount. Everything was okay. Cassandra was just
As much as Eden tried to hide her teary eyes from Damien, he had already seen it clear. And a not so wanted feeling settled in his guts. Damien drove roughly all the way to his penthouse as the same thoughts crossed his mind. He shouldn't have asked her the question not at least when she had already answered the question in front of her parents. Not when she was still trying to meet his irrelevant demand. But he knew Hoult. If he had taken it this far to throw it open to him, he wasn't joking or something. And the way he had seen Eden approaching him, she would gladly accept him most probably. Eden never seemed to give a damn about him. So, there was no way she approached him being jealous of seeing him with a girl. He couldn't be the reason behind her behavior from that night. Did Eden just fall for Hoult at first sight? Did she? But he was also a billionaire playboy just like him. Then? Just like she said at their first meeting he was not good for her. Did she mean it then!!
"Okay, then you guys continue. I will take my leave." Julian spoke up when he got his presence was getting ignored. He also had some work but not at the office.Damien voiced out, "Okay." and Eden flashed him a small smile as he walked past them."Make me a coffee." Damien demanded, thinking it would be enough to drive the giddiness away that was seeming to be making way for him.He really needed his bed and a few hours of sleep now. But after knowing about Hoult trying his hand to impress Eden and waiting for chances, the idea of bed and sleep was out of his mind immediately.Making Eden unavailable was his only goal now and he saw it to be fruitful. He would keep her too busy to have time for going on dates with Hoult.Nodding at him, Eden made her way to the refreshment counter and made the coffee as per Damien's choice.She was so tempted to have one too but had to give up the urge. Last night wasn't as usual for her as well. She was never a girl to care what others thought about h
When the traffic light turned green and the cars from behind honked startling them, their staring moment came to an end. Eden pulled out her finger and freed her hand from his hold as well. As she covered the specific finger with her other hand, the heat spread all over her body. It wasn't supposed to go down this way. She wasn't supposed to feel like this. Not with Damien at least. She kept reminding her in mind over and over all the way to her. For Damien, he was getting frustrated with himself, not knowing why he was behaving that way. Both of them remained silent the rest of the drive, trying to get together their thoughts. After almost half an hour, they reached their destination and Damien pulled up the car by the entrance of her place. He gave her a side glance, "Get out." Not like Eden was expecting some good words from him before parting ways but as he took it into consideration to drop her home since it was late at night, he could as well behave not rude at the very lea
As Damien pulled Eden to him, she fell on his chest. She pulled away immediately though as she snapped at Damien, "What are you doing? Leave me." "That's what I should ask you actually. What are you doing?" Damien glared at her as he matched her tone. "What did I do?" Eden asked as she tried to wriggle out of his hold. "You are going out with Tristan, right? Isn't this what you said when you called him?" "How did you know I called him?" Eden asked him being more than just confused. "I was there with him then. Now say.." Damien glared at her as if challenging her to lie on his face again! "I called him to ask him to stop with his flowery things. That's all." Eden said looking straight into his eyes, frustrated with herself that she took it that far to care to explain her doing to Damien and then jerked away from his hold. Damien got her words registered in his mind but still kept holding onto them. Before he could voice out something, Eden spoke up, "Your father was looking forwa
Eden looked around, everyone seemed to be busy in their respective gossips or laughter. Not wishing to spoil the party environment, well aware she would do if she stayed there longer with the females, to be specific with Laura, she walked away. She wondered how she came to this point of becoming a social outcast. Not that she minded as Cassandra dismissed her proposal to join here by keeping silent, but today she wished for her presence here. Then she wouldn't have to feel like this. As much as she wanted to leave, she knew she couldn't until Damien permitted her. But feeling the need for fresh air at least for a moment, she reached the elevator and pressed for the rooftop. She stared at the beaming city down thoughtlessly as she tried to find the mental peace she had before all these happenings with Damien and Simon resurfacing in her life. Not that she was regretting her cold behavior towards Simon now. After seeing what a lowlife he was, Eden was hurt. She didn't have the time
Martha tried to reach Damien only to get stopped by his one cold glance. As much as she didn’t want to, not wishing to push his buttons that would get her done with him forever, Martha saw herself out.Damien walked out of his room and reached the bar, irritated with himself. He would have gladly taken the blatant offer that Martha was up to but...As much as Damien could remember, he had liked the company of Martha, and maybe it was because she was the only one who was okay with his ways as well as the hectic schedule that his job had always demanded of him.He never needed to put effort and girls tried to get his attention using any means and just a single smile from him, they were more than happy to throw themselves at his mercy.But still, for the other girls, he was involved with used to throw tantrums for this sometimes thinking their few hours of passionate time were supposed to take them somewhere and he never needed to take another moment of thought to cut them short.Shruggi
Why were things going this wrong with her? Eden thought for a moment as she took her hand to her side. Her ex was standing here in front of her, trying to get a chance to get things clear. As if it was possible! And as if it wasn’t already bad enough, Damien was standing at the doorway of her cabin! For the first time. He never entered her cabin before, then what brought him here today! Eden wondered. But with the situation going on, she couldn't even ask him. But when an awkward silence occupied the room, she tried to come up with whatever her mind supported her, "Sir, Mr. Henderson was.." but trailed off, not getting any suitable word. Damien took a few steps into the cabin and stood in front of Simon. He could feel something was off there. Ignoring Eden's words, he shot to him, "Do you know Eden from before?" Before Eden could say something, Simon spoke up, "Yes. I know her." he took a glance at Eden and then again turned to him as he added with a little bit of smile, "Damien,
