บททั้งหมดของ Bed Of Lies; A Billionaire’s Sinful Desires : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Alessandro“That’s the hundredth variant that we are trying! I think it’s time for you to give up.”I glared at my supposed assistant in anger.How dare he say something like that to my face, even while knowing how desperate I am to find the right contact of the one woman who rocked my world and left me high and dry with nothing but a piece of paper containing a phone number that wasn’t complete.“If you don’t want me to cut your salary for the month, then shut up and continue trying!”I fired at him, and he sighed deeply.I couldn’t blame him; we have been doing this for a week now.One whole week, trying hundreds of numbers and failing to reach Eve.Eve.That’s the only thing I know about her. Her name.But the problem is that there are millions of Eves in the world, and so far, all the Eves I have been able to reach aren’t the Eve that I am looking for.When I left my hotel room that morning, all I wanted to do was buy her flowers and talk her into spending the rest of her vacation

Maeve“Are you sure the old man is coming?” I asked Evans for the hundredth time today. We have been here for over an hour now and still no sign of the old man we would be working for.The meeting was scheduled for today and I got the confirmation email from Evans three days ago.“Calm down, Eve. Unless you don’t trust me.” I resisted the urge to glare at him. I had no reason to trust him.I haven’t spoken to him for two weeks now and the only reason I took his call yesterday was that I knew he was calling for business.For the past two weeks, I have been living at the hospital with my sister.I even came here from the hospital.I can’t wait for us to go home. My sister is doing very well after the surgery and her doctor was positive this time.I can only hope this will be the last time.“He will come around, I got a text from his assistant that they will be late.” I glared at him.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I fired at him. “I didn’t think it was necessary.” I glared at him again

Maeve “I don’t think your grandson will like a woman like Eve.” I glared in his direction at his stupid words. “Why not? She is beautiful, obviously smart, and business-minded. She is every man’s dream girl.” I smiled at the old man’s compliment. “She is my girl.” I resisted the urge to yell in his face that I am not his girl. “Yes, I know and that’s why I tell you that you are lucky, young man. You'd better treat her right or you will find out how easy it is to lose someone valuable when you don’t cherish them.” The old man advised him. If only he knew that his advice was already too late. He already lost me and he will never get me back. After the tension-filled few minutes, the room went back to light talks for the next ten minutes after which the old man handed us the checks for our down payment. “Thank you so much for giving me your time today and I look forward to working with you.” The old man said as he stood up. We did too. “Thank you for trusting us with s

Maeve “What did I just hear?” My best friend Nora asked as she charged into my office. I quickly got up and ran to her before she did what I knew she would do. The last thing I wanted was to create a scene and ruin the atmosphere in my office. “Not here, Nora. Please.” I begged her. “Well, show me where because we clearly have a lot to talk about!” She let out angrily! Instead of responding with words, I took her hand and led her to the rooftop of my office. We turned into a mini lounge where we hold meetings outdoors and entertain our guests who visit our office. “Girl?” She let out as soon as we reached there. I sighed deeply. “What did I hear? Please don’t tell me it’s true! Don't tell me that’s why the wedding was postponed. Don’t tell me you are still with that bastard and still thinking of marrying him.” She let out without giving me a chance to respond. “Why didn’t you tell me? Does Ricky know? Are you guys keeping secrets from me again? She bombarded me w

Maeve “Wait, that’s why you seduced him? Just to show that we weren’t a match made in heaven, as I believed?” She glared at me which was unprofessional and disrespectful but I let it slide. “Well, you kind of succeeded in your plans because I know now that we aren’t a match made in heaven. Thank you for your services but don’t blame me for your low self-esteem because it has nothing to do with me and everything to do with you.” I told her. “No! It’s all you! Just like how you don’t believe I am good enough to design even a small apartment! You have always looked down on me.” I stared at her in confusion wondering where all the venom was coming from and why I didn’t even realize the obvious hatred she had for me. “What are you even talking about?” I asked her because I genuinely had no idea what she meant by what she said. “You know what I am talking about. Mr. Benson!” She let out. “What has Mr. Benson got to do with anything? Mr. Benson is my regular client who has a
