Semua Bab Reborn: A Devil’s Deal to Ruin My Ex-Husband: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Eloise dragged herself out of the room barefooted after washing her face, her hair tousled like she just rolled out of the bed. She scratches the back of her neck and yawns, her throat feeling dry so she headed to the kitchen. Her mind remembered how embarrassing the previous night was and how she'd run straight to the room and pulled the duvet over her body. ‘ How could he say that? He's such a perv,’ she'd said in her mind with her face all red. She knows a gentleman could have found a better way to let her know without making her feel embarrassed or just look away, say nothing, and leave. But Antonio was no gentleman. She rolled her eyes as she stepped into the kitchen and nearly jumped. A little startled, she hadn't expected to bump into him that early morning. But there he was, backing her, a glass cup of water on his lips. Shirtless. He was such a morning beauty. From behind, his wide shoulders and powerful back are a breathtaking display of male beauty. The muscles alon

‘ God help me! I hope I don't murder this guy before I get back my company,’ Eloise pleaded in her mind with her blood boiling as she trailed behind him onto the last floor of the building.Busy gritting her teeth, and clenching her fist, she couldn't pay attention to the glances she was getting from the employees on that floor. The building was quiet, except for the soft rustle of papers mingled with the steady clack of keyboard keys that could be heard.“ Good morning, sir,” a sweet tiny voice of a female distracted Eloise from being upset as she looked up to see a pretty lady with brown hair and neatly dressed, smiling sweetly at him.This would be the first person she'd see smiling at Antonio.“ Morning Mary.”Eloise's eyes widened.‘ oh really? So he knows how to reply to greetings, quite amazing,’ she eyed him as she said in her mind.She kept glaring at him even after he turned to her and he scoffed, astounded.‘ She's got some nerves, huh?’ he gritted his teeth as he said in h

‘ Are these two attempting to murder each other?’ Oliver asked in his mind as soon as he stepped into the office. He felt like he had just stepped into an overheated oven. He tried to mask his concern with a chuckle, “ Haha, Miss Eloise, you're here.” She looked from Antonio to him and a tiny smile crept onto her lips. “ Mr. Oliver,” she bowed a little, “ No, no, please, Oliver,” he waves the ‘ Mr ‘ off. “ I'm sorry, but you're my boss,” she insisted. Antonio rolled his eyes from the two and went to take his seat behind his desk. “ But I insist, just call me Oliver,” “ But…,” “ Okay, when it's just the two of us,” he quickly interrupted. Antonio raised a brow at him. Eloise blinked her eyes twice, giving him a gaze that made him quickly retract his sentence, immediately clearing the statement. “ I mean, when people are not there, and to make it fair, I can just call you Eloise, what do you think?” he flashed her a sweet, friendly smile. Eloise returned the sm

Not easily pleased and not easily attracted are the first two attributes Oliver knew about in Antonio, even before they became best friends. He wasn't the type to be easily moved by anything. The first time he saw him shaken up, the first time he saw him wear his emotions was when his parents died.Ever since, he has become more stoic, cold, and aloof. Until now.Oliver wondered if this was a good thing or not. The smirk on his face and the mischievousness in his eyes were visible enough for him to see.‘ He seems to be having fun,’ Oliver muttered inwardly as he stared at Antonio, ‘ Should I be worried?’“ That reminds me, you saw my email right? About canceling the interviews?” his question snapped him out of his thoughts.Oliver sat right and nodded, “ yeah, do you have someone you want to give the position to?”“ Eloise recommended one.”A look of surprise flashed across his eyes. Antonio is taking a recommendation from someone who is not his grandmother or his best friend.“ You

Eloise whimpered as her body jerked beneath the sheets, sweat coated her skin despite the cool air in the room, soaking into the pillow beneath her head. Her breath became restless as her fingers clenched the sheets tightly. Eyelids fluttered wildly, pupils darting beneath them in chaotic patterns. “ Ahh,” she yelped as her legs kicked violently, jerking her up from the horrifying nightmare. She sat on the bed panting heavily, her body shivering, and her eyes wide open. The nightmare seems to be getting worse each night. Every night has been the same since, but tonight's different; it was more vivid and more terrifying. Eloise swallowed hard and pushed the duvet off her thigh. She sat at the edge of the bed, feeling the cold floor beneath her leg, and palmed her face. “ It's okay, Eloise, it's okay, it's just a nightmare,” she mumbled before brushing her hair back with her trembling fingers. She turned on the table lamp and her chest heaved. “ Why can't I just have a peaceful n
