Chapter 8Eve POV The sound of my blaring alarm pulls me out of my deep slumber, and I groan tiredly, forcing my eyes open. It's still the middle of the night, but I have some work to take care of, that's why I'm waking up at this time. I yawn tiredly, swinging my legs down the bed, and getting on my feet afterward. With my eyes half-closed, I drag my feet sluggishly into the bathroom. I'm so exhausted, and as much as I need to get some sleep, this work is important for me to do over the night. Stepping out of the bathroom after I wash my face to get the sleep off my eyes, I walk over to my bed and throw my heavy weight on the edge, reaching out to my laptop afterward. I begin my work once it's on. After working on the laptop for what seemed like forever, I was about to turn it off, when a message from the company pops on the screen. I sigh briefly. Why would the company email message me at 1am? I mean, who the hell is controlling the messaging center? I open the mail reluctantly,
Chapter 9Eve's eyes almost pop out of their sockets as she tries to process what her friend just said. "Jayden!" She snorts quietly, clenching her fists as she feels anger building up in her. If it were to be someone else that she has to work with then she wouldn't have had any problem with that. But Jayden? He's the last person she wants to work with. She has a phobia for arrogant people, and she may end up losing her job after kicking his ass. Giving the lady a last glare, she finally turns around and storms out of the office, slamming the door behind her as if she wants to breathe it down. As she walks down the hallway, she can't help trying to control her anger. She finally stops in front of the door and takes a deep breath, before pushing it open and walking inside. Surprisingly, Mr. Liam is not sitting in his usual seat. Has he quit already? She takes another deep breath before placing a soft knock on the door of his office, and after a few minutes, his voice finally sounds
Chapter 10"I want to resign, She says to him after a long silence, and he raises his gaze to look at her, having an amused and less surprised expression on his face. Not that he didn't see this coming anyway, but there's no way he'll allow her to resign. At least not now. He hasn't frustrated her the way he wants to, so why should he free her? "What did you say?" He asks sarcastically as if he didn't hear her the first time. He just wants her to repeat that before he shocks her with the disappointment of her life. You aren't expecting him to let her resign, right? He started all these purposely, and finishing what he started is the only thing on his mind. "I said I want to resign! I'm sure you heard me when I said that. Do I need to spell it out to you, huh? I want to resign!" She finally loses it, slamming her hands on my desk. She has been trying so hard not to let her anger take over her, but she can't do this anymore. The only thing on her mind now is to piss him off and leave
The day is not yet over and she's already tired of the workload in the office. Just imagine what the rest of her day here will be like. As much as she wants to run away from the company and never return, thinking about Mr. Turner that has been nothing but so good to her, thinking about the trust the man has for her, and the love he had for her while he was still managing the company, she thinks that it'll be unfair to break his trust and leave just like that. "You can do this, Eve. Just trust yourself that you can," She assures herself as she resumes work on her desktop. Of course, she knows that jerk just wants to bully her, she knows that he just wants to frustrate her and make her life in the company miserable, but screw him! Having all her attention on the desktop, she cringe as someone suddenly drops a heap of documents on the desk again. Her face drops sadly when she raises her gaze to see a smirk dancing at the corner of Jayden's lips. Does he want to kill her? She's yet to s
Chapter 12Jayden ClintonDays laterIt has been a couple of days since Eve has been working as my secretary, and all these few days, I am sure I have frustrated her more than enough. I don't know why but for some unknown reasons, I just don't like her. The joy I always have whenever I see that angry look on her face is just too priceless. You won't blame me for doing this, would you? She's crazy and needs to have more manners as a member of this company. She wasn't on her best behavior when I came here, which is why she's going through all of these now. It's fun, anyway. Picking up the office telephone a few minutes later, I put a call through to my annoying secretary, and one minute already passed before she answer the call. "I'm working. What is it now?" Her lazy voice sound through the phone and I roll my eyes. I guess she must've been so tired from the workload on her, but does it look like I care? I mean, what is she paid for, if not to do her job diligently? "Come in," I dro
Chapter 13"I'm not going to a damn meeting on your behalf, Mr Jayden."Evelyn snaps at her inconsiderate boss, who is having fun with ordering her around and getting on her nerves. Jayden crosses his arm over his chest."I'm your boss, Evelyn. I'm paying for your service. Always obey me, I might just sack - ""Sack me."She barks, completing his sentence for him."I don't care. Do your worst. I'm tired of working your butt off for someone like you."He stares down at her, the corners of his mouth curls upwards. He really likes when Eve is mad. He doesn't mind if his attitude towards his sassy secretary can be called "psychotic". He just loves making her mad. It always gives him this inner happiness.Eve lifts her eyebrows, noticing the annoying smile on his face."What the heck Is this funny? Is this funny? Sack me, Mr Jayden."He smirks."I told you the other day. Talk to my father about leaving your job. He is the one who hired you, not me."She shook her head in disbelief. She has rea
Chapter 14Evelyn shut her eyes for a second, maybe it is her weird imagination that is playing tricks on her. When she opens her eyes, he is still there. He is sitting on her couch, in her living room gazing at her with an innocent look. What the heck is Jayden Freaking Turner doing in her house?"Are you done admiring my handsome face? Now, greet me now."His deep voice snaps her out of her train of thoughts. She throws a deadly glare at her."Greet, my foot. What are you doing in my house, Mr Jayden?""Why are you always rude?"He asks her.She folds her arms over her chest, trying not to let her towel fall on the ground."Save that question for another day. Answer my question, first."She watches as he gets up from where he was sitting down, his blue eyes glancing around her living room. Her brows snap together, she detests how he is behaving like a creep. She hates it more that he is in her house. "Who gave you the address to my house?"She questions him, after a few minutes of si
Chapter 15Jayden swallows a gulp down his throat, staring down at her."How will someone like you get me speechless? I was just shocked."He rambles. Evelyn beams a little smile, she knows that her beautiful appearance renders him speechless but he doesn't want to admit it. Of course, he is an arrogant human being.Eve smirks at her boss."Shocked about what? About my beauty, right?"His well-shaped brows snap together."Your beauty, my foot. Whoever told you that you're beautiful is probably deceiving you. Because you are not."He only said that because of his ego but deep down in his mind, he thinks that she looks gorgeous, like the queen of the night. Normally, he has noticed her flawless beauty since he saw her today. But today, she looks more beautiful. She is capable of winning ten beauty pageants at a time, owing to her beauty and confidence."Why is this crazy lady having an effect on me?"He wonders in his mind."She is nothing special, I have seen a lot of beautiful ladies befor
