Chapter One

Nolan.

"Have the statistics department send every single detail right now." I hissed and cut the call, dropping my phone carelessly on the empty car seat. 

A frown spread across my face as I recalled the incident with Evelyn.

I wiped my lips subconsciously as I remembered kissing her. 

I cringed at the warm feeling in my heart. 

I can't possibly like the kiss with Eve! I just did it to prove a point and that's it! 

She's a daring and competitive woman who would go to any lengths to get what she wants. Our first meeting was at a charity event in Carnegie Hills and I found her so annoying. 

I looked up as the car slowly came to a halt and the door by my side was opened by my Valet. 

What's his name again?

I acknowledged him with a quick nod, climbing down from the car, a white Aston Martin and I walked into the building. 

The frown on my face came back up as I spotted the hand bag sitting on my couch. Before I could regard it, a familiar voice hit my ears and I looked up the stairs to see Becca climb down with a wide smile on her face. 

"Nol!" She caressed her long black hair packed into a neat ponytail, her attached eyelashes batting too many times. 

"I didn't know you'll be back so soon," I said with a cold expression, but Becca, she doesn't seem to get moved or get the message. 

"Awwn. You missed me so much." She flipped her hair backward with a smile. 

"Paris Fashion Week was fun, but I figured you'd be alone." She said, her eyelashes moving too many times. 

"Hmn." I nodded indifferently.

"So, I need some money to buy some new hair," she said with a demanding expression and I scoffed. 

"What about the credit card I gave you last week, don't tell me you exhausted it." I sighed.

"I did. Paris fashion week was crazy and I couldn't let Stella out shop me." She rolled her eyes, but I was sure she didn't expect the next words that came out of my mouth. 

"Take your bag and get out of my house," I said, putting my hands in my pocket. 

She looked stunned for a bit before her lips curled up into a wide grin. 

"You must be in a good mood today to be making a joke." She teased with an annoying Grin.

The opposite actually, all thanks to Eve. 

"I said get out of my house!" I yelled this time and she flinched backward. The grin on her face disappeared as she realized I was serious. 

"Nol-" She started, but I didn't let her finish, "I'll call the guards on you. Get the hell out now!"

She hesitated as she went to pick her bag and I continued shouting. 

"Becca, get out!" I yelled and she suddenly looked enraged. 

"It's not Becca you idiot! It's Rebekah!" She yelled as she struggled to adjust in her heels. 

"I'll get you for this Nol!" She yelled as she got to the door and I scoffed. 

"It's Nolan!" I shouted and hissed. 

Perfect thrashing. Good job Nolan. 

I glanced around and saw the workers nearby quickly look away. 

I knew what they were thinking. Probably that it's only been two weeks since I started with her. 

Pfttt. She's lucky she lasted so long. The only thing those women wanted was my money and some good f*ck. I can't have them around for too long. 

I glanced at Nathaniel, my butler and smiled lightly. 

"Now you don't have to hear her mock your bald head," I said and climbed up the stairs, reaching for my phone in my pocket. 

Evelyn was going to be having dinner with David and I can't have that woman steal my client.

Not that I cared since I was literally compelled into taking over as CEO of Walter Corporation. It was a competition now and my image was at stake. 

I dialed a number and held the phone to my ear. 

"I want you to find out the location of Evelyn Bennett's meeting with Mr. Rowland."

***

Elixe Star Restaurant. 

I adjusted my tie as I stepped out of my car and gave the building a quick glance. I walked into the building and glanced around, my eyes stopping on the table I was looking for. 

Eve and David were discussing and the lady's body language was all sensual. David seemed so interested in whatever she was saying and I could see her tactic was working. 

Poor David, he would die before he could touch her. 

I took out my phone and held it to my ear, walking in the direction of the table. 

"Yes, let Zach know I want those details," I said, faking a phone call, "I'll be there for the routine clearance." I pretended to cut the call and I faked a surprised expression when the duo looked up at me. 

"Mr. Rowland! Miss. Bennett! What a coincidence!" I smiled and Eve rolled her eyes, glaring daggers at me. 

"Mr. Walter, I and Eve were having dinner and she was discussing a proposal," David stated and I nodded with a smile. 

"Beautiful! I was also going to briefly check on one of my branches nearby and I decided to stop for dinner," I lied and ignored Eve's sarcastic 'hmn.'

"Mind if I join you?" I asked David, but Eve replied instead. 

"If you must."

"I guess having some things to discuss with Mr. Rowland counts so..." I replied her and pulled the chair next to her backward, sitting down. 

"So, David, we hadn't been able to talk properly after the opening event," I said with a smile.

"Yes." He nodded, "the director called me and it was an emergency." 

"I'm certain you weren't disappointed with the event yesterday?" I smiled and he gave an affirmative nod.

"Well, I'll like to make a proposal concerning the Premier of the movie," I smiled and faced Eve as I noticed her move uncomfortably.

"Walter corporation has several branches across the country and we are more than able to offer you the best location worthy of any dignitary that might be attending." I continued and there was once again that sarcastic 'hmn' from Eve. 

"Well, Lotte Corps is able to offer you the same and even more," Eve butted in and I scoffed. David noticed it and glanced at me, but I quickly put up a smile.

"Walter Corporation wasn't the one that handled the Premier of the popular, Legal Desired movie after all," she flashed a seductive smile at David and took a gentle sip from the wine glass on the table. 

She returned the glass to the table gracefully and flashed me a mischievous smile. 

"It was Lotte Corps, Yes. But it also wasn't the one that handled FireBound and Death Games, the top movies on N*****x." I retorted and glanced back at David.

His eyes were glancing back and forth at the both of us. We were already messing with his head, probably. 

But who would it be? I couldn't afford to lose to this woman.
