{Eva's POV}The next morning, I woke up in my room, slid out of bed, and hurriedly went into the bathroom to shower. The time was past 7 a.m., and I needed to get to Owen's Group before 8 a.m., when Ethan arrived.The previous day at work had been stressful, and I wondered where Ethan was going to take me today. Would he take me to another of his subsidiary companies? My mind wandered through these thoughts as I got into the shower.My hand reached for my sponge and soap, and I bathed swiftly.A few minutes later, I turned on the shower faucet and grabbed my white towel, rushing out of the bathroom.When I stepped out of the bathroom, I was taken aback to see my older sister in my room. She wore a red top and black leggings, standing there with a strict look on her face."Good morning, sis. What do you want?" I asked her, moving as swiftly as possible to the wardrobe to grab my clothes for work."Eva, I researched Jasper Tech last night, and I found out that it's owned by the billiona

{Eva's POV}The blinds were down, so I couldn't peek into Ethan's office to see him or find out what he was doing.I swiftly dropped my bag on my office desk, pulled out the manual, and checked on the coffee that I was making for him.It was a cup of cortado—a cup of espresso served with warm milk.I swiftly moved into action, following the guide in his manual, and brewed it quickly.When I was done, I looked around, not knowing if I could go into Mr. Owen's office.Mr. Edward wasn't around, and I gulped hard when I saw that it was already 9 a.m.Swiftly, I picked up the cup of coffee, covered it, and carried it straight to Mr. Owen's office.The bodyguard didn't stop me as I gently knocked on the door and walked into the office.The air in the office shifted as I met the gaze of the man seated behind the desk.

Eva's POV:When Ethan dismissed me from the meeting and sent me to his office, I felt relieved because I didn't want to discuss things with Jacob. I had already told Jacob that I wanted us to take a break and for the media reports about us to stop trending. He agreed, but I hadn't expected him to show up at work at Owen's Group.I had been thinking about my relationship with Jacob, pondering if I should give him a second chance, he might humiliate me again or even have me arrested for my mistake.As my mind swirled with thoughts of the good times Jacob and I had shared, the sound of the office door unlocking jolted me, and I rose to my feet. Ethan walked in, exuding an air of arrogance as he peered at me coldly.I had expected Ethan to fire me, but he didn't. Seeing him and knowing that we had shared a night together made me uncomfortable to meet his gaze, so I lowered my head as he strode into his office."Why are you acting nervous around me? Wanting to go and see your fiancé?" Etha

(Eva's POV)I wasn't expecting Lily to come into my office and bring me another takeaway meal."Aww, thank you," I said, appreciating her thoughtfulness. Although the company's meals were free, an extra meal cost about $1000."You're my new friend, Eva. I was shocked to see Mary slap you like that. She's so full of herself, and I'm sure it's because she wants the boss to notice her. And now that he brought his fiancée over, she took her anger out on you," Lily explained, and I smiled sadly."Oh, I had no idea. But I stumbled and fell. I didn't mean to not pay attention to where I was going. I was also wrong," I acknowledged, because if I hadn't been lost in thought, I would have seen Mary's leg in the way. But because of my thoughts about Ethan and his fiancée, I embarrassed myself."It's fine. I hope we can be friends?" Lily asked with a cute smile."Sure. Thank you, Lily," I said, accepting her phone and giving her my contact information. She was getting ready to leave for her offic

(Ethan's POV)I knew Eva was afraid of me. She stilled as my finger touched her cheek. Her skin was so soft that I felt blood flowing in my veins again. Her red lips enticed me to draw her closer and seal my lips on hers to silence her mouth, but I held myself back. I didn't want to scare her. After all, she'd seen Freya, and she knew I was getting married to a woman my family had arranged for me.Though I hadn't informed Eva that I hadn't been with any women before.
