Gabriel was stunned to see Eva, who smiled kindly at him. He turned to Cheyne with the same expression on his face. Cheyne shrugged his shoulders briefly. Cheyne then turned to give Ethan Stevenson a small node as a code. They left the executive secretary's room, leaving Gabriel and Eva behind. The couple must be able to resolve their poor communication problems so far."What are you doing here?" Gabriel hissed, slightly annoyed with Eva. However, Eva smiled warmer."I came here to work, sir.""What?" Gabriel shrieked, stunned. Eva nodded, assuring her wishes. Gabriele was sure of what she was doing, but he kept shaking his head."You should have stayed home." Gabriel's voice was still hissing, even though it was low. He tried not to get upset and angry with Eva."Why?""Because you are still unwell.""No, I'm fine now. I am a strong human being." Gabriel's brow furrowed for a moment."What do you mean by coming here, Doll? Do you want to do something?" Gabriel continued to investigat
Jasper Kent grinned triumphantly as his trap worked. To lure her out, he slandered Evangeline as Gabriel Xander's secretary. The rage provoked Gabriel's mind now. He protested against Anderes, who accused Eva without any proof. Jasper took his chance so well. He accused someone whom he thought would make Gabriel lose his mind. "What's this? Why are you accusing my secretary of fraud and embezzlement? This is unbelievable!" Gabriel concluded, raising his tone. Ethan and Cheyne also stared tensely. They believed it was a trap. Gabriel could quickly kill anyone who slandered Eva for any reason. Yet, he has to control himself. Anderes was just a human among werewolves, who took a lot of consequences to show him about them. "Isn't she the one who handles all the finances and project development? I think we should ask her." Jasper Kent grabbed the conversation and immediately cornered Eva."This is true, Mr. Xander. I think we should investigate your secretary," Anderes added. Jasper Kent
Eva stared sharply at Jasper Kent. Cheyne escorted her into the CEO's room, where Gabriel had encountered some people. She looked unhappy to see Jasper now."She is my secretary. Her name is Miss Evangeline Alexander." Gabriel introduced Eva with a flat expression. He anticipated every response, especially from Jasper. Jasper continued to fix his gaze on Eva, defying Gabriel's orders. Gabriel then cleared his throat, making a louder sound, which caused Eva to turn her gaze toward him."I can assure you that Ms. Alexander has zero involvement in this project. Right, Miss Alexander?" Gabriel said, then turned to Eva for the statement. Eva nodded right away."Yes, I have nothing to do with the project," Eva added. She looked sure and confident. On the other hand, Jasper chuckled sinisterly. He smirked, mocking Gabriel even more. There, Gabriel took his bait, unfortunately."Is there something funny, Mr. Kent?" he sneered."Haha, well. I'm a gentleman enough to not use a woman to cover my
Gabriel chuckled sarcastically and shook his head in disbelief at the lie that Jasper was telling him now. Meanwhile, Eva was stunned and didn't understand. She gasped faster at Jasper's confession."What other lies are you telling, Kent? Aren't you deterred?" Gabriel mocked plainly. Jasper instead responded by laughing loudly. He seemed to be taunting Gabriel with his posture. His hands were on his hips, and Jasper continued to laugh.Cheyne and Ethan even looked tense at Jasper, who was acting absurdly. They glanced at each other and then looked back at Jasper. This time, Cheye prepared to drag Jasper out of the room."She didn't tell you, did she? I've decided I'm going to imprint her." Jasper spoke again. He mocked Gabriel. His mark on his Luna would soon gone. Even if she lived with him, Jasper was sure Eva would have rejected Gabriel.Meanwhile, Gabriel started to look anxious. He turned to Eva, who shook her head slightly, rejecting everything Jasper had said. However, Jasper w
"Is it true that you have tied yourself to Jasper Kent?" Gabriel asked, holding back the irritation inside. Eva was still catching her breath. She was shocked after Gabriel squeezed her wrist. Hence, hearing the question drove her upset. She straightened her back with her eyes fixed intently at Gabriel. Eva seemed disappointed by his question.“I never wanted any of this. I hate you and Jasper. You're all the same. You both hurt me.” Eva suddenly shouted at Gabriel. Gabriel was shocked to see Eva's bold behavior toward him. Eva appeared to be at the height of her anger over the unfolding situation. She even shed tears as she yelled at Gabriel.“So you hate me? You are a liar, Eva!” Gabriel replied with a growl. Cheyne let out a long sigh of aggravation. Gabriel is too upset and jealous to respond to Eva's distressed feelings. He cornered Eva like the wrong person.“I don't want to see you again. Leave me alone!” Eva yelled back to Gabriel to get out of the CEO's room. Ethan tried to i
"I've asked someone to drive you home, Miss Alexander. You can go home early to rest," said Ethan, kindly smiling. Eva also smiled and nodded."What about Mr. Xander?" Eva is still curious about Gabriel. Ethan raised the corners of his lips, then shook his head slightly."Let me talk to him. I think he's gone into his room."Eva took a deeper breath and nodded. He walked out of the CEO's room. Eva prepared to go home after getting permission from Ethan. He passed through the corridor to the president's director's office and stopped to stare at it. She thought for a moment before she continued her way to the elevator.In his room, Ethan confirmed that the Zetas would take Eva back home. Eva had gone down to the lobby and walked alone. The Zeta was supposed to escort Eva. Unfortunately, he didn't notice her exiting the main door. He was talking to Ethan, who was giving instructions."Yes, Mr. Stevenson. I'm waiting for Miss Alexander in the lobby."A car then stopped in front of Eva, wh
Eva frowned when she realized the car that had picked her up had stopped. Eva glanced around, unable to recognize the location. Jasper, who was the driver, then turned around and smiled. Eva was shocked to see that Jasper was driving the car.“How could you?” Eva's words choked. She didn't think that Jasper could kidnap her again.“Come on down. We have to talk," said Jasper, still calm. He smiled but looked threatening. Eva still hasn't moved. Jasper turned around again and asked Eva to obey.“Don't make me say it twice,” Jasper warned her. Eva glanced at the unlocked door next to her. This was her chance to escape. Without thinking, Eva opened it quickly and was about to run. However, someone promptly stood before her, bumping her into the floor."Ahk!" Eva yelled in pain. Jasper came out casually, bent slightly and pulled Eva's arm quite hard. He dragged Eva with him into an elevator."Ahk, let me go!" Eva tried to fight back by pushing Jasper's arm but to no avail. Jasper's grip w
"You're setting me up, Rouge!" Everest angrily blamed Cheyne by pointing a gun at him. Cheyne chuckled derisively. His gaze was fixed on Everest, unblinking. He hated it when someone like Everest called him a Rouge. He felt offended. Although Cheyne was a Rouge before, he is now as honorable as the other purebloods in their pack."I don't care what you think. I'm just trying to help you. If I reject it, I'll just tell Jasper Kent about you and your movements. He will soon come to kill you disgracefully. How about it?" Cheyne replied fiercely, yet he was still smiling. Everest doesn't seem calm at all. He was aware of Jasper Kent's superiority. The insurrectionary movement would only have achieved results if it had sought more excellent assistance. Even his father couldn't help.Everest lowered his gun, but he was still standing before Cheyne. He must be able to think of appropriate advantages that he can exploit."Tell me what you want." Cheyne nodded, smiled, and snorted softly, then
