Semua Bab My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend: Bab 141 - Bab 150

"Beck," I call, bringing Fallon with me."Sanders? And who is this?" He asks, giving a curious look to Fallon. He's not assessing her, he's just wondering who the fuck she is.His expression I can understand. He knows Evelyn! And I'm pretty sure he's wondering, like me, why the hell I brought someone that isn't Eve tonight."This is Fallon Green, my date for the night." He doesn't need to know anything else about her."Oh!" Samantha blushes but reaches out and shakes the girl's hand. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Sam! Uh... How do you know Dr. Sanders?" she asks, politely, looking between me and the girl with the same curiosity her fiancé was giving me."My friend Evelyn arranged it for me," she smiles shyly. "She told me he needed a date for the ball and asked if I was willing to go with him.""She did? Oh! That's great! How is Eve? She's a real sweetheart!" Sam smiles more authentically, putting Fallon at ease."She is actually sick. She didn't tell me wha-" Fallon started to explain

I face-palm myself, even if no one can see. "Of course he did. Tell me he at least held the door for you?" I wish I could reach out and give her a hug; she sounds like she needs one right now."He did," she answers quickly. "Then he got in the other side and didn't say anything the whole drive. It was a little awkward. But his driver was really nice. He asked me about school and what I was studying..." she rushes out.Well, thank God for Rogers! I'm going to make sure Luke gives the man a raise! I don't know how the hell he puts up with Luke! Is he being blackmailed?"Then he helped me out of the car and dropped my hand as fast as possible. Maybe he doesn't like physical touch? Or maybe he just doesn't like me?" She rambled. Poor thing has no idea what Luke is really like. She doesn't know this has nothing to do with her and it's all to do with him."No! Dr. Sanders is like that with everyone," I reassure her... kind of. He seems to have the opposite reaction when he's touching me. Bu

Luke's POVI haven't been able to get Eve off my mind. I wanted to go check in on her yesterday, but she fucking shot me down! Probably because of Fallon and the mess of the night before.But, really, what had she expected from me? She shouldn't have even agreed to the damn thing in the first place! She was supposed to yell at me and tell me not to go! She was meant to convince me to take her instead or just don't go at all! I have no fucking clue what possessed me to say I was planning on going to that damn ball in the first place!What she did was worse! She fucking gave in and made me a date! She just fucking looked at me like I'd lost my mind, then she asked for her phone. I did the stupid thing where I actually followed her instructions and watched in shock as she scrolled through her phone and sent a quick text.I have no idea why, but I was fucking pissed as hell!“I’m setting you up with a sweet girl named Fallon Green. She’s a starving student I met at school. She’s getting a

Eve's POVI step out of Luke's office with so many questions on my mind. Tonight seems to have just been too much for Luke. I saw the look on his face when he was operating on Marcie. He looked sick. I wanted to kick him out, but he recovered quickly.He told me he saw my face in place of hers. He was scared, but he didn't have to be. I'm here, and I'm fine! He doesn't have to worry about me when I'm standing right next to him.Although, I almost know where he is coming from. I'm just confused why he would replace Marcie's face with mine; of all the people it could've been.I don't know anyone who has died, so I can't say I understand exactly what he went through. I don't know if it would be a good thing to empathize with Luke or not. He's already a little possessive.I know he's told me... things. I'm not sure what to believe right now though. I've got so many freaking mixed signals. Signals I know will get both of us into a lot of trouble.First, he yells at me for trying to transfe

It doesn't take long for my shift to end and I clock out. I look around to see if I can find Luke, but it looks like he's decided to spend another night at work instead of going home.Why does he do this to himself? If he doesn't want to have a mental break down, he needs to take care of himself. Or at least find someone else to take care of him.Some little voice in the back of my mind says I would be up for the job."Hey, Evie! You ready?" Jeff came jogging up behind me, and wrapping his arm around my shoulder, giving it a little squeeze. Jeff seems really affectionate tonight, but I just shrug it off."Yeah, I'm ready," I say, throwing my purse over my shoulder and heading toward my car. I'm going to head straight home, take a shower and sleep for 6 uninterrupted hours. At least that was the plan."Let's take my car, then we can swing by later and you can pick up yours. It saves on gas," he suggests, pulling me toward his own car. I guess what he says does make sense. And it's real
