SOAR WITH ME Chapter 18
#Chapter 18 EvelynThe more you know, the harder it is to forget. It's better when alcohol scrapes away a few pieces of something tragic happening to you. If you can't remember, then you can't think about it and feel terrible. "Oh my God! Why didn't you tell me?" Yasmine asks softly."I was dealing with it over the weekend. I needed space and time." I wanted to talk to Ivan today but it seems like it'd be now."Are you okay?" My assistant asks the question on the tip of my tongue."I'm fine. Evelyn stepped in at the right moment and saved me. The guy wasn't able to hold my dick so that's a relief." My fingers tighten over the glass paperweight."Nothing about the incident was okay. I hate that you went through something like that. I hate myself for arriving late at the scene. It's my fault. I was supposed to be there for you like you are for me." Both of my friends glare at me. "It's not your fault. You stopped it before it could've gotten worse, Evelyn." His s
SOAR WITH ME Chapter 19
#Chapter 19 WarrenArcher Enterprises took years of hard work and persistence to make it a big name in the world of architecture. Where there are millions of companies in the race, it's difficult to stand out and attract potential buyers, investors, and clients. Being an architect isn't an easy job from any angle. There are lots of sleepless nights, hours of brainstorming to come up with creative and possible ideas, hiring the right crew, selecting the right interior designer, and supervising the materials that lay the foundation of the artwork you're working to turn from paper to reality. In a world full of competition, winning is all that matters and so far I've been at the top of the game. Superior to the other contestants who are just as hungry for the position as me. Putting away my empty mug of coffee I decide to get some work done. But the decision crumbles to nothing when my best friend barges inside throwing the 'knocking mannerism' out my eight hundred and
SOAR WITH ME Chapter 20
#Chapter 20 WarrenWhen the car stops my heart thuds with anxiety and my lungs pack with so much air that breathing is not even an option. I'm way too nervous to go inside, let alone have a chat with Evelyn. As adamant as a person on a mission, Evelyn Melgren is a determined one and I'm well aware of that quirk. One of the many things that attracted me to her. Her spark burns differently than the others, or perhaps it's just me who sees her as extraordinary in a world full of ordinary people. "So are we staking out here all day, or are we going inside?" Connor questions as I look out the window at the building of her company. "Just a minute." I mumble as I clench my fingers and pull them into a fist to release some of the tension that's whirring in my body. It's like waves crashing on the shore and I'm certain they can take me away with them if it isn't the anchor plunged in my heart whispering to right the wrong in my life that I regret the most. Losing Ev
SOAR WITH ME Chapter 21
#Chapter 21 WarrenEverything and everyone in the room is silent. Though I'm way busy staring into the blue irises of her eyes that are burning with rage. And it hurts to know that all that rage is directed at me. "Ms. Melgren I'm not going anywhere until you listen to my proposal." We inch toe to toe as she glares at me while I enjoy the features of her face, which appeal to me more than ever. A throat clears beside me and Connor jumps in. "So you're Evelyn. I must say you're more beautiful in person." I arch an eyebrow at him in warning, but he's already done the damage."You've seen me before?" Evelyn turns to him and Connor shoots me a panicked look. He just ruined it."On your website. Bluebird Design. They have your picture on it so that's where I saw you." Like an idiot, he advances his hand in her direction and Evelyn takes it after a second of hesitation."Thank you for saying that. It's nice to meet you Mr..." Connor is eager to fill in the blank.
SOAR WITH ME Chapter 22
#Chapter 22 WarrenUnbuttoning the top two buttons I breathe in air to not die from asphyxiation. "You're a bastard," Connor whispers to me and I only smirk in reply."What were you saying, Evelyn?" For a moment she's trapped in a haze and it takes her a second to break away from it. Now I'm certain I still affect her and the knowledge does something to me."That I'm doing well and don't need you to step in at all." Evelyn has always been too proud to ask for help. Even back in the day, it would take a lot for her to ask for assistance in matters she couldn't solve herself. With me things were different. She wouldn't think twice before pestering me. But now she's keen on dodging my every attempt to help her. No wonder time has changed us."Your annual sales say otherwise." That ticks a nerve because she's glowering."I'll survive. Most certainly without you." Yasmine clasps her hand over the table and gives her a look. "If I may ask, what can you offer
SOAR WITH ME Chapter 23
#Chapter 23 EvelynMy mind is a mess of thoughts and feelings that are all intertwined and jumbled together like an unwound string of yarn. As soon as I try to pluck one end and assess it, it unrolls and a flood of hundred other thoughts follow it. My head and heart are in different spaces and I hate that nothing's making sense. Especially when the person who's causing all of this pandemonium is walking right next to me.I hate the serenity that's encircling him and the ease with which he's striding beside me as if he's completely unaware of the effect he has on me. The scent of musky wood wafts off him, suffocating my nostrils and begging me to move closer.I'm sure it's from an expensive bottle of some prominent brand. "Are you going to speak?" Warren asks softly."No. I'm planning on giving a mute tour so you can use your imagination." Not a wise comeback, but it's his cologne's fault. The intoxicating scent has my senses confused."What's in there?" He
SOAR WITH ME Chapter 24
#Chapter 24 EvelynThroughout the meeting, I struck out each one of his demands and he gladly let them slide, and rewrote them as to how I wanted things to be. Not for once, he seemed to oppose any of my suggestions or decisions. Calm as a saint he listened to whatever I had to say and let me take control of the deal and shape it the way I wanted.A part of me is dancing in glee because it's the perfect contract. No other company or businessman would have let me talk let alone have a say in what I wanted. But Warren didn't only let me voice my thoughts, he let me keep more than half of the revenue that we'll make. My mind and heart are at a war as to how I'm supposed to deal with matters now that Warren's doing stuff like this. Yes, I would have survived without him. I've made sufficient money from the last two orders we got. And everyone is in good spirits As much as Warren is a part of my past, I can't let him influence either my present or my future."Evel
SOAR WITH ME Chapter 25
#Chapter 25 EvelynIt's Wednesday today. Two days since Warren strolled into my office—as if he owns it, and coaxed me to sign a contract with him. No matter how much I infuriated him by making changes, his determination didn't sway even once. He got what he came for. I wonder if that's what he's aiming for. If he wants to take control of everything and everyone I have in life just so I will listen to him. Then he's got another thing coming.Since the first evening, he hasn't once attempted to apologize to me for all the crap he put me through and the mess he left my life in. I had expected some kind of redeeming act from him. Even the word 'sorry' will do, but no! His ass is as stubborn as a chief commander. Warren would never ask me forgiveness because in his eyes he was never wrong. It was me, Evelyn Melgren who ruined him and his life whilst he did nothing wrong. For two days I've been thinking about how I'll be able to face him and act like nothing's wrong
