Alle Kapitel von Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo: Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

Instead of responding rudely to Adrian's stepmother, Evelina simply smiled and cleared her throat. Even though her attention was solely on Adrian's stepmother, she could feel that all eyes were on her now, everyone waiting to hear what her response would be. A small part of Evelina wanted to be rude, but she decided she would approach this with a little more grace than most people would."Well, contrary to what you just said, the reason why I fell in love with Adrian was because he's a kind man. Behind this tough exterior is a good man who cares about people and..."Before Evelina could say anything else, the older woman laughed out loud. Her laughter echoed throughout the entire dining room, making the atmosphere even more uncomfortable. Most people would have corrected their wives, but Adrian's father simply sat in his chair and continued eating his food as though his wife had not just insulted his son."No... that's a new one, I must say. You must be so delusional. You've clearly n

"Come in!" Adrian yelled as loudly as he could. He could no longer take it. His concentration had been worse than it had been over the last few days. Yes, occasionally Evelina would drift across his mind, and then he would catch himself smiling before realizing that their relationship was nothing but a contractual one... a contract he had created himself. There was no point in fantasizing about them having a beautiful life together because that dream was far beyond his reach.Not wanting to fight his lack of concentration any longer, Adrian began packing his things away. He was about to go home... or perhaps even visit the cafe just so he could catch a glimpse of Evelina working so effortlessly as she smiled at her customers, as though smiling was the easiest thing in the world... something that even he struggled with.The doors flew open and Emelda walked in. As soon as she saw Adrian packing his things away, she froze, looking between the bag and Adrian... then back at the bag and A

Both Evelina and Adrian sat on the floor of the elevator in complete silence. The emergency light inside the elevator glowed dimly, casting just enough light for the two of them to make out each other's faces. Neither of them spoke because every little movement they made caused the elevator to tremble slightly, reminding them of how fragile their situation truly was.Neither of them knew how much time had passed. The only thing they knew was that no one had come to rescue them yet. If this continued much longer, the elevator might suffer another sudden drop. Neither of them knew when it would happen... or if they would even survive it.All Evelina could think about was her little boy, Noah. Without realizing it, a single tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away before wrapping both arms around her legs, trying to comfort herself. Fear gripped her heart, and no matter how hard she tried to remain calm, the uncertainty was slowly breaking her.Fr

As soon as Evelina was done looking at the pictures, she smiled before handing them back to Naomi, who stared at her with a confused expression. She had expected Evelina to be upset and perhaps show disappointment, but instead she was met with a calm expression."Thank you very much for showing me these pictures. As you can see, I can tell these were taken long before Adrian and I started dating. Whatever happened in his past has nothing to do with me," Evelina responded calmly. She spoke so confidently that she immediately noticed the puzzled look on Naomi's face."I know that it is in the past, but I'm simply trying to save you. The men of the Beaumont family are not exactly known for being faithful to their wives. I just thought you deserved to know," Naomi said."Well, thank you for informing me. I really do appreciate it, but this has nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in it," Evelina replied.After saying goodbye, Evelina e walked toward

The Next DayThe Beaumont Urban EstatesEmelda walked into Adrian's office and placed a hot cup of coffee in front of him while he continued working on his laptop. Just before she could walk out, Adrian picked up the cup and took a sip. The very next second, he spat the coffee back into the cup."What nonsense is this?" he asked angrily as he grabbed his handkerchief and wiped his mouth clean. The bitter taste had completely ruined his taste buds.Emelda looked at him nervously, unsure of what to say. She stood frozen while Adrian stared at her, waiting for an answer."Emelda... I'm not going to ask you again. I asked you for coffee. What is this thing you've brought me? It tastes terrible," Adrian complained."I'm so sorry, sir, but Miss Evelina's café is closed today, so I had to buy coffee from another café," she replied apologetically. Adrian barely heard the rest of what she said."Evelina's café is closed? How is that possible?" Adrian asked, his voice filled with confusion. Eme
