Chapter 26Later in Evelyn's house"Skylar, I want to ask you a question. I want you to be sincere with your answer," Evelyn finally breaks the silence, after stalling for a long time. Evelyn is in the living room with her cousin, Skylar. They are watching a soap opera, even though Evelyn's mind is not focused on the show they are watching. She is busy thinking about what happened during the day. About how her boss left her house angrily, after seeing her cousin. It is obvious that both of them know each other before and she is curious about it. She wishes that she had given her boss to apologize or probably, a chance to give her an explanation. But, she messed it up. Or rather, he spoiled everything by saying that narcissistic statement. "You should be happy,"Imagine someone who is apologizing, telling her trash. Her boss is indeed a clown. "What do you want to ask me?" Skylar's voice jolts her out of her train of thought. "How did you know my boss, Jayden Turner?" She asks her
Chapter 27Marina dropped her spoon on the plate, her eyes wide open. "Are you playing with my heart? Mr. Jayden asked you to accompany him to the night party," She rambles loudly. Evelyn shrugs, looking at her over-dramatic friend. She glances around the cafeteria, checking if people are staring at them, but they are not. Everyone else is enveloped in their world. She heaves a sigh of relief, then faces her friend."I am not kidding. It is not a big deal, anyway,"Marina shoots her friend a deadly glare."It is a big deal, dummy. The CEO of Turner Industries asked you out on a date," She utters. Eve let out a loud hiss. "Stop making a big deal out of this stuff. It is normal. Besides, I have a boyfriend. You shouldn't be too happy about this," She says. Marina frowns. "Wait, I think Morris Anthony also invited you to the same night party, right?" She asks her friend. "That is the main problem. Morris invited me to the night party, and Jayden also invited me even though his approa
Chapter 28"More than breathtaking, Evelyn. You look stunning. Just like the beautiful lady of the night," Jayden replies, glancing at her body from head to toe.He is caressing her body with his dreamy eyes. He is not staring at her like a creep, but instead with admiration filled in his eyes, appreciating how beautiful she looks. Evelyn narrows her eyes. "Who is the lady of the night?" She asks him. She has never heard of that before. It sounds so strange to her. He beams a charming smile, revealing his dimples. "Evelyn Jones. You are the beautiful lady of the night," He replies. Evelyn's cheeks turn pink. "I can't believe this is coming from you, Mr. Jayden. I feel on top of the world because you are complimenting me. Thank you," She says bluntly. "Get used to receiving compliments from me, if you are going to look beautiful every day," He tells her, shooting a wink at her. Morris glares at them. The crazy boss and the ungrateful secretary. They are flirting in his presence, w
Chapter 29"You are not really a bad dancer. I also think that you are a fast learner," Jayden compliments Evelyn, beaming a smile at her.They are not dancing anymore, but they are still on the dance floor, holding hands like two lovebirds, smiling excitedly at each other. "Thank you," Evelyn smiles shyly, wondering why she's so happy and smiling sheepishly since she came to this dinner party. She loves the harmony between her and her boss tonight, though. They don't argue about anything, he doesn't get on her nerves, and she doesn't disobey him. They just danced silently, gazing into each other's beautiful eyes."What's on your mind, Evelyn?" Jayden asks, snapping her out of her thoughts. She opens her mouth to say something, but her mouth quickly closes when she feels a cold liquid soak her dress. Her jaw drops and she quickly turns to see that someone just spilled red wine on her dress. The waitress gasps sharply as she quickly squats and cleans her dress, uttering words of apo
Chapter 30"Mr. Jayden," Evelyn calls his name with her high-pitched voice, jerking him out of reverie. Jayden fakes a smile, trying to maintain his composure and run from his unholy thoughts. "W..What were y..ou say..ying?" He stammers. He hates himself and his dirty mind for having such thoughts about his innocent secretary. He should be embarrassed, it is just his feelings. "Are you okay?" She questions him. He nods his head. "I'm fine. Do I look like someone who is not okay?" He asks back, hoping that she hasn't seen that his penis is erect. Her mouth curves into a wide smile. "You look okay, but kind of absent-minded. I said I was done with dressing up," She says. He heaves a sigh of relief. "Oh, that is nothing. Are you hungry or something? Or, do you want to go to bed now?" He bombards her with questions.She pouts her lips. "You promised that we are going to continue our party here," She reminds him."Of course, I promised you and I am going to fulfill my promise. Go to
Chapter 31Skylar and Jayden are so engrossed in devouring each other's mouths that they don't notice that someone opens the door and she is in the living room with them.The handbag Evelyn is holding drops on the bag, it makes the betrayals realize that someone is inside the living room. They quickly disengage from each other. But, it is late already. Evelyn has caught them doing the sinful act already. It is obvious to her that her boyfriend is cheating on her with her cousin. The world disappears from her eyes instantly. Raymond's lips tremble."B. . abe. Don't think about anything. I. . It is not what you think," He stammers. Evelyn ignores him totally and steals a glance at her cousin. Skylar has a blank look on her face. She doesn't seem like she is affected by what is happening. That tells her one thing. This is not the first time they have been committing this act. Evelyn swallows a gulp down her throat, trying to maintain her composure. She doesn't want to break down in tea
*Chapter 32*Evelyn stares into his forest-green eyes. Is he saying the truth? Why is her boss acting so nice to her? Maybe, it is because she is weak right now. She is weak and vulnerable. He probably pities her, that is why he is behaving like he cares. He is going to turn to the psycho boss tomorrow. Nothing is going to change. He will continue to frustrate her life at work.She hates being weak. She hates when people pity her. There is nothing she can do, this time around. She really needs support. She needs someone to care for her. She squeezes her eyes shut. She is beginning to overthink again. Her therapist had warned her overthinking state. It is really dangerous to her mental health. "Relax your body and mind. Breathe in. Breathe out. Evelyn, that is what you should do anytime your mind wanders around," Still closing her eyes, she recalls what her therapist told her to always do, anytime she overthinks.She draws in a long breath, then breathes out. After a few minutes, sh
Chapter 33It has been two days since Raymond broke Evelyn's fragile heart. She has resumed work, pretending as if she is okay. But, deep down in her mind, it still hurts. It hurts her deeply, anytime the image of her ex-boyfriend kissing her cousin flashes in her mind. She knows that she will get over him soon. But, how is she going to forget about him when his face is glued to her memory? She can't seem to forget about him, especially when he is spamming her with messages. Evelyn has blocked his numbers and deleted everything about him on her phone but Raymond is persistent and stubborn, he still spams her with calls and texts using strange numbers. She doesn't even bother to read his texts. She doesn't listen to his pleas and excuses. What excuse can he give her, anyway? She caught them together in her house. It even seems like they've been deceiving her, since all these days. Or, is he going to tell her that he was drunk that day?All his messages are left unread on her social
