Eve

I let out a gasp in shock as I stared at Sinclair's parents. When and how are they here right now? Or was I seeing things?

“Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?” Sinclair asked, an indication that I wasn't just seeing things; he was just as shocked as I was.

His mom, Wilfred glanced at her husband, Bill, and answered, “We thought it had been a while since we saw you both and decided to pay a surprise visit”

It has been a while truly, I haven't seen them in five years. They used to come around very frequently when we had just gotten married, but all of a sudden, they stopped, and that was around when our marriage began to fall apart. Now that I thought about it, what if the two incidents were related somehow?

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Fortunately, we hadn't gone too far with our sexual activities, I managed to pull myself together and walked forward to greet them. “Sorry about the way we entered, welcome Wilfred and Bill, this is your home, so you are welcome anytime,” I

    Eve I stepped into the office with Mr. Khalif, Blackwood, and Richard, and we all took our seats. I had already informed my secretary not to allow any visitors because I didn't want to be disturbed. I can't have anyone eavesdropping on our conversation.“So, the plan has been coming along smoothly yes?” I asked once we all settled in.“Yes it seems so, but we have to ask how your part in the plan is coming along, have you been able to gain Sinclair's trust?” Khalif asked.I smiled, “Well as you can see, I am here because Sinclair told me to temporarily take care of the company while he stays by his sick mother's side. If that doesn't scream trust, then I don't know what is,” I said proudly. “You are right. And that also means that it is time” Brando said with a knowing look. I nodded in response with a knowing look as well, I felt a creeping anxiety as I thought of what was to come.Brando shared a look with Khalif before bringing out a small-looking box from his suitcase. He placed

    Eve A week passed by quickly and the doctor finally approved for Wilfred to be discharged to receive medical care at home.Sinclair was very thorough with her medical care; he hired a nurse to take care of her 24/7, and he purchased all the necessary medical equipment that she might need in a crisis, should she have one at home.“My son is so extra, isn't he? I mean, look at all that, his stuff, the room looks like a freaking hospital ICU.” Wilfred grumbled under her breath with a frown, but I could still hear her.I was escorting her to her room; which was moved downstairs for easy access, for some rest.I chuckled softly and replied as I observed the room setup, “He is just very worried about you…”“I know” she murmured without missing a beat.After getting her tucked in for a nap, I returned to my room to see Sinclair lying down to rest his head.“Is she asleep now?” he asked as soon as I stepped in but his eyes were closed.“Yes, she is. It didn't take long, as soon as she hit th

    Eve“Why did you want to see me? Is there a problem?” Mrs Duncan asked once we got settled in my office.“It’s not a problem per se, I just wanted to ask some questions that had to do with when my father was alive and worked here many years ago. I understand that you are one of the oldest employees who worked with him, so you must have some information that can be useful to me,” I said in a low but audible voice. For some reason, I didn't want someone to hear our conversation.Mrs Duncan moved restlessly in her seat, and it made me squint my eyes in suspicion. Why was she acting like she knew something? I hadn't even asked her my question. And it happened in a split second so it was almost like I imagined it.“Do you have something to tell me, Mrs Duncan?” I asked, my eyes observing her every move.“I don't know what you are talking about, but ask your questions first, and I'll see if I can give you an answer to them,” she replied without missing a beat.Maybe I was mistaken… I said t

    EveI didn't know whether to smile or laugh as soon as I heard him. Trusting me was his biggest mistake. My sincerest apologies to Wilfred, I had to use her illness to my advantage.“Do you really trust me to handle the company?” I asked him, assuming the most heartfelt eyes.“Evie, I trust no one else except you. It will be just for a few days to finalize the collaboration deal. If you face any difficulty, then ask the board members, they are way more experienced and their joint opinion will help you,” he advised.“Thank you, I'll try my best to seal the deal” I replied with a smile.In fact, sealing the deal was no problem now that he was going to be absent, but he didn't need to know that. If only he knew, he wouldn't have trusted me.I called back Jasmine to set the meeting for tomorrow, and I sent a text message to Khalif about the newest development. Once that was done, I joined Sinclair at the bench and stared at people going about their daily activities. A text came into Sin

    Eve“Mom, don't worry, everything is going to be fine,” Sinclair said for the umpteenth time as we ran along with the stretcher that his mother had placed on. I was deeply worried about her, no doubt. I dreaded the thought that this was the end, it was too early.“Doctor, please attend to my wife. Please make sure she is okay” Bill frantically told the doctor. He was so out of character, he was no longer grumpy or holding a blank resting face, his face held desperation and fear.“I’ll try my best, please wait outside,” The doctor said and went in with the others. We had no choice but to wait with bated breaths, Sinclair had his head in his hands, and Bill stood close to the emergency door. Time ticked by rather painfully slowly, and I had to call the slow office to inform them that we were indisposed.After an hour or so, the doctors and some nurses stepped out from the ICU, and in seconds, we were in front of them with anxious faces waiting for an answer.“Thankfully, we were just

    EveI woke up and stretched quietly in order not to wake Sinclair who was finally sleeping peacefully. The night was the roughest one I have experienced in a while. We ended up retiring to bed late after Sinclair managed to fall asleep. I wouldn't deny that I was worried, worried about Sinclair and his family. They have been the only family I knew for so many years and I have grown deeply fond of them. Their problems were my problems no matter how much I tried to overlook them. Besides that, I wasn't going to punish Wilfred for the problem her son caused, taking over the company was a separate issue and didn't reduce my affection towards her.With that said, I got up early to begin cooking. I had researched meal ideas that were good for people with pancreatic cancer and decided to make chicken and rice casserole with some vegetable stir fry and a bowl of Greek yogurt with berries and granola. I got help from the cooks as well, so in an hour or so, we were done cooking.“Something sme
