“I understand then. Since everything has been settled now, I will take my leave. Please let me know if there is anything you need." Lane said as she stood up from her seat along with the people she had brought along with her. “I do hope you'll be around when the press conference is held to confirm what our model says is right." Kai suddenly said and Lane nodded in agreement and made her way out of the meeting room without waiting for Mr. Owen or Christine. Seeing that Lane was already leaving, Mr. Owen also got up from his seat and followed behind Lane in order to clear a little bit of the misunderstanding. Mark scowled seeing how Mr. Owen had left them and followed Lane out of the meeting room. He stole a glance at Kai, Eva and Nathalia before turning to look at Christine. “Christine let's go." Mark said to Christine in a gentle voice as he got up from his seat as well. He was seething in anger seeing how things had turned out, but maintained his composure. Christine glanced at
“You missed again. Has your hand become so weak lately that you can't aim properly anymore?" Kai said with a taunting smile on his face. "You this crazy man, you're just trying to anger me to death." Nathalia huffed and puffed as she glared at him. “You know, somehow Kai is a little bit right with what he said." Eva suddenly commented, though she was now lying on the couch, not caring about her image or whatsoever. “What? You're going to support this thing now?!” Nathalia pointed at Kai who had a victory smile on his face. “It's not about supporting or not, I'm just telling the truth. We women tend to mistake our obsession for something as love and in the end we get hurt by the same thing we're so obsessed with.” She calmly replied, turning to look at Nathalia while still lying on the couch. Besides, she was speaking from experience. "But, those words shouldn't be coming out from a man that doesn't have a girlfriend to begin with.” Nathalia clearly knew what Eva was talking
After a while of laughing and joking with eachother, Kai turned to look at Eva who was busy skimming through the magazine she had picked up from the table. “Eva, the press conference will be held tomorrow. Is that okay with you?" He suddenly asked. Eva didn't close the magazine she was looking at even when she heard him. "I'm cool with it.” She calmly replied. She knew there was definitely going to be another at the press conference but was prepared for it. "Woah! Just look at that calm demeanor. It seems like our Eva had gone to re-polish herself. You're always a person that shouldn't be messed with in the past but now you look way calmer and collected with the way you handle things.” Kai couldn't help but remark, his eyes flashing with admiration. Eva rolled her eyes at him when she heard him. He was obviously teasing her and she didn't want to reply to him. Remembering something, Eva suddenly closed the magazine and sat up on the couch and faced Nathalia who was busy scrollin
After a while, Eva was done giving Nathalia a brief explanation of what the contract was all about. “Gosh, I knew he was crazy but didn't realize that he was completely mad." Nathalia sighed as he rubbed her forehead. She can't imagine what kind of hardship her best friend would have to go through to achieve this kind of task. Damien, he was not human and can resist anything not to talk of woman flirting. He also wanted a child from her best friend which she understood where he was coming from in that aspect. She was aware of her parents, mostly her mother and her maternal grandfather keep pressuring Damien lately to get married and have a child. That was even one of the reasons she and Edwin had been avoiding going to see her parents because they didn't want their mother to turn her attention on them and start nagging them as well. In fact, she had been ignoring her mother's call lately because she had been caught in a stupid scandal recently and her mother had been calling her
She knew Kai was right, it would easily take effect on a normal man but Damien wasn't normal. She's sure that he wouldn't feel anything if she was naked though he had seen her naked before but that was because she was drunk and he was drugged. “They can work but it depends on the man you want to seduce like I said." Kai replied. " I wouldn't get smitten by these mere tricks if it's used on me.” He added. "Alright, the man in question is my husband.” Eva finally revealed. “What?!!" Kai jolted up like he was shocked by electricity when he Eva. He quickly sat up and looked at Eva in bewilderment. Taking the opportunity that he had gotten up, Nathalia quickly placed the bottle of juice down and seized the opportunity to lay her head on Eva's lap this time. Both Eva and Kai wanted to say something when they saw Nathalia's action but they were interrupted by her before they could speak. “You heard her right, sweetie. She's married. Which means you're the only certified loner among us."
“So, did you think I'm way more handsome than your new boyfriend?” Kai asked, folding his arm in front of his chest as he looked at Nathalia. “Geez! What did you think of yourself? Of course, my Stanley is way hotter than you are and even more looking." Nathalia replied, which was obviously a lie. Although Stanley was handsome and looked older than Kai by a year or two since he was in his early thirties and Kai was about the same age as Edwin- her older brother who was twenty nine years old. Compared to that Kai was even very much older than both she and Eva by four or five years. That aside, despite Stanley being handsome, he still couldn't be compared with Kai who was on another different level of handsome. “Is that so?" Kai raised his brow at her response. He hadn't seen Stanley before so he wasn't sure if she was saying the truth or not. “Yeah. Come to think of it, both of you share the same surnames." Nathalia suddenly remarked, she was just realizing that now. “But you st
Meanwhile, the people in the elevator glanced at her with an incredulous expression on their face. They were wondering if this woman had a death wish or a desire to go to jail. It must've been both, for she pressed the button to the highest floor that the elevator could go to. The higher up the floors, the higher up the position. Just who the hell was this woman? They were unable to tell that Eva was the same woman that had been trending online and internet lately because she was wearing a face mask and dark shade sunglasses. "Uhm, excuse me—" Eva trailed off as she turned to glance at the people behind her. "I believe this is your floor," She curtly said, stepping aside to let the people behind her out. She quietly watched as they exchanged glances, then looked at the floor she was going to stop at, and finally, they said nothing. Eventually, the employees all exited the elevator. They muttered amongst themselves and quickly called the security downstairs to notify them of her
And he had to say, his boss was using a cunning way with Eva to get what he wants. He knew about Damien's real intention with this marriage between Eva and Damien and also his purpose as well. Poor thing. For some reason, Eva felt awkward in the elevator with Shane. She sensed that he was thinking about something which was obviously related to her but she can't point it out. “What about Eric?" She suddenly asks, making Shane snap out of his thoughts and turn to look at her. After all, it was Eric she met the last time she visited and he still owes her something and that was for locking her up in Damien's office during her last visit. “Boss sent him on an errand." He replied. Of course, Eva would know Eric because they must have met some time ago when he was away to carry out the task Damien gave him. “I see." She slowly nodded her head, still holding the paper bag in her hand. "What brought Miss Eva here?” It was Shane's turn to ask this time and he took a glance at the bag in h
