In the BathroomAfter talking with Mr. Zen, Evelina excused herself and went to the bathroom. She stood staring at herself in the mirror, feeling as though she was about to faint. What he had done at the restaurant could have either ruined Adrian's business or saved it, and in the end, she had ultimately saved it by knowing one simple fact.Evelina turned around as she heard the bathroom door open. To her surprise, it was none other than Lin, Mr. Zen's secretary, walking into the bathroom. The woman looked as cold as her boss. She had not smiled during the entire meeting, and she looked as though she had been observing everything both Evelina and Adrian had done.Evelina watched as the young woman leaned against the wall and crossed her arms over her chest."I must say, I have not seen my boss smile like that in many years, and yet you have managed to achieve the impossible," Lin said before pausing for a moment

The CafeThe Next DayThe previous day had been nothing but a nightmare, yet Evelina had done her best to hide it. She had forced herself to smile, pretending everything was fine, making it almost impossible for anyone to notice that she was falling apart inside. Her husband had been willing to throw away ten years of their marriage just to run after another woman, and that was something that completely shattered her heart. Even after she had gone home, she had tried to distract herself by baking a few muffins.Now she was back at work, sitting in the very same office where she had first pulled the divorce papers from the envelope. It was the one place that had once given her peace, but it had suddenly turned into a nightmare. Every corner reminded her of the life she had thought she was building with Tim.As a single tear rolled down Evelina’s cheek, she quickly wiped it away the moment she heard a knock on her office door. She had to look composed. After all, she was still the boss

Adrian's Mansion"Mommy!"Noah screamed with excitement. As soon as he saw his mother walking through the door, he immediately ran towards her and hugged her tightly. Standing at the entrance, Adrian watched the interaction between mother and son. A small part of him quietly longed for what Noah had... a mother who was present in his life, someone who could wrap him in warm embraces that he himself had been deprived of for far too long."Hey, my boy... I missed you so much," Evelina said as she continuously hugged her son.Together, the two of them made their way to Evelina’s room. Adrian allowed them to have some time together. He felt as though interfering in such an intimate moment would only make him feel like the third wheel.Ever since Adrian had first moved into his father's house as a child... right before he was eventually kicked out... his family had always made him feel like an outsider. He had been nothing more than an inconvenience to them, someone they merely tolerated t

Evelina was upset as she walked through the Beaumont Urban Estates building. She tried her best to hide the fact that she was furious with Adrian for employing a temporary manager to run the café while she recovered, knowing full well that he had not even asked for her permission before making such a decision.She had tried her best to bargain with the woman managing the café on her behalf, but the manager would not budge. She insisted that if Evelina wanted her to leave, she would have to speak to Adrian about it. And now here Evelina was... on her way to Adrian's office to give him a piece of her mind about what not to do in her café, when the reality was that the café no longer belonged to her. It was all Adrian's.Just as she was walking down the hallway leading to Adrian's office, she came across Emelda, Adrian’s secretary, who smiled warmly at her. The woman had always been kind... well, at least after finding out that Evelina wa

Evelina stood there for a few minutes, watching as worry flashed across Adrian's face. A small part of her felt the need to help him overcome whatever burden he was carrying, but she knew Adrian would never open up to her so easily. From everything she had observed about him, he was the kind of man who preferred solving his own problems and rarely accepted help from anyone."You are upset that I took decisions without you? You hired an entire manager without my consent.""Like I told you, I did it so that you could take a break. But if you do not appreciate it... you can tell the woman to leave. I will call her and tell her to leave and then you can go back to work and collapse again. But don't have your employees call me when you collapse because I will not come," Adrian stated.It sounded harsh, but deep down even he did not believe his own words. The mere thought of Evelina collapsing onto the ground terrified him more than he was willing to admit."Yo
