"Come with you? What do you mean by ``I should come with you?" Eve demanded and tried to free her hand from the clutches of the men who gripped both her left and right arm but her effort was futile. They were strong men after all.The oldest of the group fumed and whispered into Eve's left ear. "Quit playing and come with us while you still can walk""Are you threatening me?""We don't have time to trade words." one of them replied and tightened his grip on her.Eve looked at him and his colleagues and let out a loud groan. "Leave me alone," she screamed at them, spitting on their faces."If she's going to stress us then I don't mind shutting her up." the one who barely spoke amongst them threatened and began tightening his fists."That wasn't part of the plan.""What plan?" Eve asked and looked up to the physically built men. Carlos lowered his head and Eve felt betrayed. Carlos was trembling from his spot.The oldest who happened to be the leader dragged Eve out of the bar and pinne

Eve lowered her head in shame and ignored Henry's question. "Why don't we check whether the envelope has arrived." she stuttered and pointed to the way out."Wait," Henry said and prevented her from leaving the spot by placing his right hand before her. "You were the girl from the engagement party, right? The girl from Devin's engagement," he said.Eve's expression betrayed her and Henry was convinced that she was the lady he was referring to."Eve heaved a deep sigh and moved to a tight corner where the trash can was. "Did you witness the drama that night? Were you there when I charged to that stage like a maniac?" "Yes," Henry replied. "I was at the engagement party." he justified with a nod.Eve placed her left palm on her forehead and began to pace. "You were there the whole period?" Henry didn't utter a word. He nodded and adjusted his Rolex watch."I was at the engagement party. I know Devin. You looked different back there." he pointed out and Eve knew he was referring to her

Eve wiped the stray tears making their way to her cheeks as she staggered to her apartment. Anyone who saw her walking to her home that night needed not to be told that she was shattered.She made her way through the barely shut door and turned the lights on after getting inside. Eve flung her bag to the right and sank on the largest couch in her living room and a few minutes, her mind drifted to Henry's confession of being married which sparked in her a torrential overflow of tears.Eve stood up and staggered to the corner she flung her bag. She pulled out her cell phone. Olivia had bombarded her phone with calls already. Eve's fragile hands trembled as she dialed Olivia's number."Eve? Are you there? Where have you been?" came Olivia's voice on the phoneEve busted into tears and the phone slipped through her hands. It landed on the floor and she could hear Olivia say"What happened? I'll be there right away. Just hang on." Eve was seated on her red carpet with her back resting on

After a warm bath, Eve sat before her large dressing mirror, her legs crossed while her hands worked on her hair. She had loosened her hair from the clutches of her ribbon that morning and had oiled it for it was glittering. She worked on her hair edges and dressed her hair down to her neck. Satisfied by what she had done, she began working on her face. Eve pouted her lips and smiled. The little make-up she had applied had transformed her face.She stood before her wardrobe for about two minutes with her eyes rolling up and down the furniture. She took out some clothes and dumped them on her bed. She found it strange that her outfits had suddenly become unattractive or maybe because she wanted to make heads turn that morning, especially Henry's head.It then dawned on Eve that she was having an interview not a date hence the need for her to be mindful of her appearance. Since fate had earned her an interview in Henry's company, she wasn't going to joke with it. She pulled out a red v

"Listen to me" Eve spat and pointed two fingers at him, shocking his two staff who were still in the room.In his mind, Henry kept praying that Eve doesn't speak about the one-night stand. He had hoped she wouldn't talk about it and maybe with the way things were going, he might have to swallow his pride and apologise to her to save his face."Such audacity." Henry heard one of his staff whisper to the other. He knew they were shocked at Eve's boldness."I wanted to be the bigger person. I wanted to shut the fuck up but you decided to act like a piece of shit by ruining my interview." continued Eve. It then dawned on Henry that cancelling Eve's interview was a bad idea. He signalled to the staff in his office to excuse them.The two men stood up and headed out. Henry knew the news of the drama ongoing in his office will soon spread around the various corners of the building like a wildfire.He crashed on his chair. "What do you want, Eve? You wanted to create a scene. Well, congratula
