Chapter One Hundred Sixty
The revelation caused Eve to remain transfixed in her spot. She stared at Henry blankly, trying to ascertain the level of his seriousness on the issue.He was dead serious.When he noticed her surprised expression, he exploded into a burst of laughter that echoed all over the room and Eve couldn't be more confused.She began taking strides toward him. Her legs felt heavy but she didn't stop. Henry stood before with a bright smile and soon, his bright smile was replaced by an impish grin."You must be joking!" Eve asserted, trying not to mince her words.He swung his head from left to right in filial objection. "You are lying to me!"Henry didn't stop shaking his head and at that point, Eve needed no one to let her know that Henry was blurting out the truth. From his look, his gesture and his mode of communication, she could tell that he meant every word.Doomed!She was fucking doomed as the thought of her plan which had just gone down the drain fluttered in her mind. She took steps

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-One
It all brings her back to one miserable circle. Her miserable circle of trying to get away from Henry's web. If Mira was his sister and not his wife as she presumed, then she was no way near to achieving her revenge goal.And the hate club?She turned around, imagining the disappointing looks they'll display once they discover that Henry outsmarted her.Henry began taking steps toward her and she quickly turned away. She couldn't look at his face, it was haunting.He broke into a wicked laugh and Eve couldn't open her eyes."Turn around and face me, Eve. Didn't you want to be a smart ass? Turn around and defend yourself!" Henry whisper-yelled.She didn't turn around to face him or give any reply. She was blaming herself for jumping to a conclusion when she should have worked out more on Mira's identity.Henry lifted a finger and continued speaking. "I remember when we went to see my parents the other day, most of the issues you raised were questions centred around my wife and right n

Henry didn't take off his arms around Eve even though she was trying to break free."I'm sorry for everything Eve!"She lowered her head and watched the tears rolling from her cheeks drop on the carpet. She wiped her running nose with the edge of her palm and turned around.Henry didn't take his hands off her. He was looking straight into her red eyes and was trying so hard to withhold himself from kissing her."You always apologise but end up doing the same thing and.." Eve was still speaking when Henry's desire took charge of his senses.In a flash, he pulled her toward him, pressed himself to her chest and locked lips with her. She tried to break free by sending strikes on his back but Henry wouldn't break away.He pulled away from the kiss for a moment, directed his lips to her left ear and mumbled "I want you."Eve found herself melting in his arms like wax. Yes, she wanted him, so badly that her toes were beginning to curl up as in between her thighs got slippery.She shut her e

Eve stopped pacing and moved closer to him. " I remember your exact words the other day. You said it was best if we stayed away from each other. You even said something about your presence in my life as a purveyor of harm so I think it's time you honour your words. Let's end this once and for all." She said."You don't get it!" Henry flared up and ran his hands through his hair.Eve's eyes widened in surprise. "I don't want to get any damn thing. What I want is for the both of us to end this pointless relationship not just today but for good," she replied and positioned both her hands on her hips.Henry began taking steps toward her and when she gave him the stink eye, he stopped."I said don't you ever come close to me again.""You will only end this affair when I say so." Henry declared while staring Eve straight in the face.She gasped, marvelling at the authority in his voice and the audacity in his eyes. She swung her head from left to right. "You must be fucking joking.""I'm no

"I asked you to draft me a fucking schedule not bring me a report!" Henry yelled and gave the table a tight slap.Phil arched a brow. It was either he misunderstood the directive or his ear had issues taking instructions that morning."Get me last week's report!"He heard it loud and clear from Henry. "Don't just stand there like a potato. Get the hell out of my office and bring in that schedule immediately." Henry screamed at Phil."Of course, sir!" Phil stammered. He gave a slight bow and walked out of the office wondering why Henry was acting edgy that morning. First, he witnessed how Henry snapped at one of the messengers who came to get his briefcase a while ago and now, he received a backlash for an offence he didn't commit."Eve!" Phil called out to her and pulled open the door to their office. He stared at the vacant armchair and shook his head after a sigh.Eve didn't show up at work the previous day and today, she wasn't in her seat. If she was at work that morning, he wo

Dane opened his plans wide before Henry. "Can you please tell me what triggered the change I'm seeing in you that I just can't explain? I know you are sad that things ended up between you and Eve but the last time I checked, Mira..."Dane was still speaking when Henry sharply cut in. "I went to her apartment.""You went to her apartment?" Henry acknowledged with a nod."After Mira confronted me, I decided to see Eve in her place and gloat over the fact that her plan to expose me before my wife went down the drain but then she turned the tables around." He replied.Dane shook his head in disagreement. "She didn't turn the tables around boss, she fulfilled your wish."Henry darted his gaze from Dane to the table. He proposed the separation and now that Eve had ended things between them, he was losing his sanity."Is it because she went against your policy or is it because you like her?" Dane asked.Henry gave his forehead a delicate scrape and began to stammer. "Like her? Me...I..Dont.

"Come in!" Phil responded from the inside and continued scribbling down his notes. He didn't take his eyes off the manuscript.The door to the office was pushed open and Eve walked in, hanging a handbag around her left arm."Hey, Phil!"He lifted his head and allowed the pen to slip through his grasp. He sighed in relief and threw his head back. "Thank Goodness Eve!"She smiled and settled on the chair opposite him. She cast her gaze on the messy table and noticed the littered files and papers."Did you miss me?"Phil arched a brow. Of course, he missed her. Her absence for the past two days had proved to him that two heads are better than one."Where the hell have you been?"She crossed her legs and cleared her throat loudly. "Fixing myself. I've been fixing myself."Phil stared at her with a blank expression. "Fixing yourself?"She flashed a quick smile. "That's by the way. I'm back now and that's what counts."Phil began collecting the files from the table. "You know what? The boss

Dane gave a smile and extended his right hand to Henry. Henry shook him."Get rid of all your anger and be nice to your staff. They know you as a kind boss, not some grumpy dude." "I'll take your advice and I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier," Henry replied.Dane waved his hand down. "Don't worry about a thing boss. It's called mood swing."Henry chuckled."I'll take my leave now," Dane concluded and turned around to leave.Dane shut the door behind him and heaved a deep sigh. Henry can go ahead and deny it for all he cares. It was obvious that he was in love with Eve and wasn't willing to admit it due to some policies that guide his bachelor lifestyle. Whatever the case, Dane was certain that he had established a concept in Henry's mind. The concept spells out that he was madly in love with Eve and she was driving him insane.Henry shut his eyes and opened them almost immediately. He began to wonder. Were his feelings toward Eve so obvious that Dane could read the signs? Hasn't he

Chapter One Hundred Sixty Eight
Chapter 96Eve grabbed the menu card and began to rove her eyes around it, seeking a meal. The men kept whispering and when she lowered the card to her chest, they all went mute.She dumped the card on the table and Greg turned to her with a sheepish grin. "So what will you have for lunch?""Ummm, just pasta and salad." She replied and lifted her hand, calling the attention of any of the waitresses around.Gregory slumped on his chair like a pack of cards. "I'll have pasta and salad too." He turned to his friends. "And you guys, what will you have?"There was silence from their end. Eve's eyes were fixed on the counter as she was trying to get the attention of the waitresses.Greg's friends motioned to him to turn left and when he did, he froze.Eve was already getting exhausted. She had no idea where all the witnesses in the cafe had gone and the one beside the counter was going through her phone rather than discharging her duties. She turned to the men and noticed how timid they ha

"You said we needed to review the agenda urgently sir." She reminded him and turned to stare at the couch."Give me a moment!" Henry said and continued fiddling with the pages. Should she take a seat? Pondered Eve. To prove to him that she needed him to address the matter urgently, she dumped her bag on the table, folded her arms across her chest and was waiting for him to finish playing with the documents because as far as she was concerned, he was playing with the papers not going through them as he claims.He dropped the document and began to clear his messy table.Eve arched a brow. First, he spent about two minutes pretending to check a document and now he was clearing the table."You said the meeting is in an hour, sir!" She hinted.Meanwhile, Phil had earlier informed her that the arrangements for meeting with the clients were already set after they shared responsibilities which resulted in her drafting some documents.Henry sat and positioned both his hands on the table.
