Chapter 41

#Chapter 41 Evelyn"He did what?" Ivan nearly erupts in a roar."Oh my God!" Yasmine joins, completely giddy with excitement as a big smile takes over her face.Ivan quickly shoots her a murderous glare and then looks at me with the same intensity."What did you say?" He asks in a grave tone."I agreed. The function is for orphans. I couldn't refuse. You know I love children." For a second I assumed my reply would make Ivan relax in understanding, but he sighs as if a whole planet was now resting on his shoulders. "He's manipulating you into spending time with him. So he can win you over and then hurt you later." Yasmine speaks before I can. "For fuck's sake. Now you sound like an old cranky granny who's had more heartbreaks than my vinyl collection.""Your vinyl collection consists of Harry Styles and he's had only three albums.""Three extraordinary pieces of art Ivan. They're perfect. Especially Harry's House." "Fine, Matilda was good." Ivan finis

#Chapter 42 EvelynFingers snap in front of my face and clear the fog of my thoughts. "Boss, you okay?" Yasmine asks in a troubled tone."Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking about some things." I give her a smile. Luckily the conversation moves in another direction. We talk about Yasmine's dates and hear Ivan's opinion on every guy. She flushes in embarrassment as Ivan and I both pick out every little fault in the men she's dated so far. After lunch, Yasmine and I go shopping to find a dress reasonable enough to be worn at a lavish charity event. Knowing Warren, I know it'll be prestigious and opulent in every sense. And I don't want to look any less than (perfect which doesn't exist) beautiful.My mind rewinds the last six months and I can't pinpoint one moment when I dressed up for myself. Between managing my company and personal life, I barely find time for anything else. Also, the stress of the low sales has been keeping me awake for quite some nights. So this eve

#Chapter 43 Evelyn"I want to buy it." A huge smile climbs on her lips and she nods.Going back into the room I change and then hand the dress to the woman who packs it in a big white box."Can you tie a ribbon on it?" Yasmine adds and I elbow her.Brenda's laugh fills the room like a fresh breath of air as she complies to my assistant's request.Ivan and Yasmine are surely siblings in some universe. Because I'm pretty sure he'd have done the same thing."Don't glare at me. A box without ribbon is like a dress without glitter." I roll my eyes."That made no sense at all. I literally bought a dress without glitter." I hide my yawn behind my hand."You're right. That was stupid.""Just like that resignation joke. Don't think I've forgotten about it." Yasmine smiles tightly. "I wouldn't leave your side boss. I hope you know that." "I know. You are the best assistant any boss could ever ask for." It's true. Yasmine's work ethic is incredibly strong. She h

#Chapter 44 Evelyn"I assume you got my present." I freeze. "What present?" I ask in an alarmed tone. My heart starts to race as hundreds of scenarios juggle in my mind. "You know, the car you mentioned," Michael states in a serious voice through the phone. Not a hint of amusement drips from his words. And that terrifies me.Gulping a few pulls of water I sit down and look at Miles who cuddles on the couch beside me."You better be joking Michael." I rub my temple. "I'm not. It should be there in...3...2...1." Just as he finishes talking, someone raps on my door, and my nerves tense in distress. Excitement also wraps its arms around me."I'm gonna kill you!" Taking long steps, I hurry to the door and yank it open. A stout man dressed in a uniform greets me with a nice smile and asks me to sign papers for car keys."I'm sorry but I'm not signing these papers." "Mr. Melgren said he'll fire me if you don't." My mouth opens in shock and I hold up a finger

Chapter 45

#Chapter 45 EvelynI swipe my hand down the front of my dress one last time to get rid of any wrinkles. I vaguely adjust the thin shoulder straps holding the dress on my body. The neckline exposes my bony collarbone and dips a few centimeters further into my cleavage. My eyes drift to the sides of my figure, studying as the silky material hugs my curves, accentuating them from my hips down. Sweeping one last glance at my makeup I spritz some perfume and then pack my black hand purse for the evening ahead. Just as I slip on my heels, my phone buzzes with a notification.Warren: I'm leaving my office to pick you up. After a fierce battle with my feelings, I gave Warren my number. But only because the occasion called for it. Grasping my car keys I amble to the door. Miles curled up on my bed a few minutes ago. I bet he'll be staying there till I come back. I drive in my Ashton Martin to my office while trembling in a bundle of nerves. I don't know why

Chapter 46

#Chapter 46 EvelynClearing my throat I inch closer to him and then look at him. The black of his eyes looks breathtaking as the lights from the outside flicker through it. "A little more," Warren whispers as if it's only us in the car. With a sigh, I give in and move closer but still keep my distance."More Evelyn." My stomach burns, a pool of lava bubbling up inside of it. "You want me to sit on your lap?" I mock him.Warren's jaw clenches and relaxes as he says, "I don't want to die yet." "Glad you know my intentions." The millionaire stays quiet and leans back in his seat, his hand straddling his thigh. Somehow the sight of it further warms the walls of my insides. "I've been wondering. What happened to your mom?" Warren asks carefully. "I'm sure you already know." I look ahead. Feeling uncomfortable starting this conversation with him out of all the people in the world."I don't."I search his face for lies. "So you never hired a PI

Chapter 47

#Chapter 47 EvelynI'm not used to publicity. It's part of the reason why Michael and I don't meet much. When we do, we spend most of our time at my condo. He's confined in his penthouse as well and he has to do the same when he comes here to save me the trouble of dealing with the paparazzi. Michael and I both are introverts, despite the fact we are both in such a line of work where we have to be really confident and social. Which we are, but only to a certain extent. Tristan pulls up near the curb and looks at Warren through the mirror. "Sir," his tone solemn like a soldier."Thank you, Tristan." Warren opens the door and slides out of the car. He unbuttons his jacket and adjusts his cufflink with his fingers. When he looks at me he arches an eyebrow."Do I look okay?" I must have been staring because he smirks when he asks me."You look more than okay." "I know." I roll my eyes at his arrogance. Warren extends his hand toward me, offering for me to ta

#Chapter 48 EvelynNoah advances his hand in my direction and I take it. Bringing it to his lips he lands a tender kiss on the back of my hand and shoots me a cheeky smile. "May I say you look beautiful tonight Ms..." "Evelyn Melgren. I own a wedding card printing company. It's nice to meet you." My lips pull in a tiny smile as I quickly take my hand back."Wedding card printing company? That's cute. What's the name of it?" Noah sounds genuinely curious. But I wonder if he's asking to make a crude comment about it or because he really wants to know."Bluebird Design.""Splendid. My sister is getting married at the end of this year. I'm certain she'll love me more if I take one task off her back." At the mention of his sister his eyes brighten up in color. It's fascinating to see how many tell-tales there are about people when they talk about someone they love."Sure." I nod at him. "So how did you meet Warren? If you don't mind me asking." Noah takes a sip of

#Chapter 49 EvelynWith a chuckle and shake of head, he says. "I know your annual profit report by heart and you don't even know what projects I've worked on. Not so fair Evelyn." We stare at each other and something passes between us like a cord of wire extending on both ends so that a connection can be made."I do know a few," I confess."I know," Warren whispers.Other people join us and Warren breaks eye contact as he sweeps his gaze around the table. The green irises seem to linger on a man sitting across from us who has his eyes fixed on Warren. I don't know who he is. In fact, I don't know anyone in this room. "Why did you start a wedding card printing company?" Warren turns his head first, and then slowly glides his eyes back on my face. The gesture shouldn't do anything to my body but it does. Beads of sweat line up at the base of my spine along with the heated storm that whirs in my belly."I didn't want to be a financial analyst." I'm only able

Chapter 50

#Chapter 50 WarrenEvelyn looks perfect tonight. I can't tear my eyes away from her body but especially her face. Her makeup looks fine enough to kill a man. And then there's her dress. It fits her as if hundreds of seamstresses spent days making it just for her. She looks beautiful. Not that she doesn't always. The woman is a fucking goddess. Her beauty is unreal. And I'm not the only one who's entranced by it. Every man in the room has his eyes trained on her. They're stealing glimpses of her as if their lives depend on it. Like she's the oxygen they breathe. I've caught several men ogling her and it took every cell in my body to not go over and pummel them to the floor. There are so many and I'm occupied with sending every single one of them a death stare. Some don't take heed and I'm taking note of their names so that I can deal with them later. Contrary to my previous assumptions, our night has been going well. Evelyn is talking to me and getting to know me. I
