Guys, this is the last chapter. The next one will be an epilogue. I hope you enjoyed Eva and Mason's story. Thank you for reading 🥰
"If that call has lasted more than five seconds, consider yourself..." "What? Fired?" Eva retorted, reminding him of the first time he'd met her. She'd changed but at the same time, she was still the same person who had changed her clothes in his office while he watched. Back then, he'd known he would never forget her. "In trouble. Who are you talking to?" She took the phone off her ear and pressed a button. A woman's voice came through "... decide which cover you want. I've emailed you the samples" "Yes, Miranda. Thank you for calling. Please email her the rest of the conversation, she'll get back to you when she isn't busy" Mason cut the call. "I still had a few questions to ask" "You were supposed to join me in the shower ten minutes ago" he said his hands busy unbuttoning the summer dress then pushing it off her shoulders. She only wore panties underneath which he also slid down her legs. On his way up, he palmed the little bump. Soon she was going to start showing. He
"If that call has lasted more than five seconds, consider yourself fired!" Someone bellowed. Judging by how loud the person had been and the fact that she was on the phone, there was no doubt the person was talking to her. "Something just came up. I'll call you later" Eva said hanging up then spun around and came face to face with the hottest man she'd ever seen in her entire life. Okay, maybe that was an exaggeration because she'd dated hot men all her life but this one had to be on top of the list. She couldn't think of anyone who might surpass him. Most of them were models or actors or famous people. In her opinion, if you didn't have a crowd to please then you wouldn't even bother changing out of your pajamas or visiting the gym. The reason she preferred stars. The more famous they were the better. "Excuse me?" "Are you deaf?" the guy snapped sounding irritated. "Are you talking to me?" She asked feigning ignorance."Do you see anyone else around?" "Uh, yeah. All the
Mason sat at his desk wondering what his problem was. He didn't want anything to do with that crazy woman but his hands were itching to grab the remote and turn on the TV so he could watch her interview. Never in his thirty two years had he met someone so brazen. She said and did things without a second thought. He'd asked the woman he first thought was Miss Becker why they had swapped clothes and the answer he'd gotten had surprised him. Apparently the real Miss Becker had found them talking about not having anything to wear to a date and she'd offered her dress. Who in this day and age did that? The rich and famous people he knew didn't behave that way. They donated money to various charities. They didn't swap dresses. Especially expensive, designer ones. As if that wasn't enough, she'd offered that girl a job in case he fired her. Which was the only reason he hadn't fired her. Because he didn't want to give in to that demented woman. In the last twenty four hours he'd do
"Lincoln, thank God you're here. Let's go out" He sighed, knowing very well what Eva was up to "Why? I came here to have lunch with you. You promised to cook for me. That's why I came over Eva not to accompany you to one of your crazy stalking schemes" "Stop whining. We can have lunch outside too. I know of a great place that has amazing food and great service" "You hate eating out unless it's necessary or you're stalking someone" he sighed again "Who is it this time?" "You know me so well Linc. Let's go, I'll tell you on the way" "Eva" he whined, following her. She had been looking for an excuse to go out and God had sent her an angel from heaven. Lincoln would always be her guardian angel even though he whined too much and always fell into her traps. When her parents died, Eva had thought it was the end of the world. Her sister Rosslyn had done everything she could to cheer her up but it was hard, especially when social services threatened to separate them. Theirs was a common
She followed him all the way to England. Mason couldn't believe his eyes when he spotted Eva sitting at one of the tables with some guy and pretending to not see him. He knew she was crazy but this was just too much. When she'd first shown up at the restaurant, he'd thought it was cute how she pretended to be surprised. He knew she had asked his secretary of his whereabouts because he was the one who'd given Mary permission to tell her where he was. It would be absurd to admit that he wanted to see her too so he settled on playing the game with her. He would let her think that she was winning then snatch away her victory just as she was at the finish line. Acting like he hadn't needed her help was hard. Mr. Philips was playing hard to get, knowing that he had the upper hand over him. But the second he saw Eva, things changed. Adler got the upper hand just by knowing that crazy woman. He was grateful that she'd helped him but since he had to keep his act up, he pretended to be angry.
"Hi" Eva said to a shocked looking Adler. He'd just come back from London to find her on his doorstep, waiting for him. In all honesty, she wasn't planning on going to see him at all. He'd run off to London after promising her dinner and she was a little mad at him. If he didn't want to see her then all he had to do was say so. She was willing to give him time to get used to the fact that she was going to be his girlfriend. She also wanted him to go looking for her. That way she would know how he felt about her. But Rossy ruined everything. Last night when she was about to go to bed, her sister had called telling her to hold on to him and never let go. Now, while Eva knew exactly why she wanted to be with Adler, she didn't need any further advice on keeping him. That just made things harder on her end. Whatever her sister saw in him to warrant that call, Eva wanted to know too. It was unlike Rosslyn to call and tell her to keep a man. Between the two sisters, they had
Mason looked down at her, giving her body a once over. She'd worn a dress today, a blue one. It was simple, with cute bows at the shoulders and something he would have expected her niece to wear. Not her. He'd seen the kind of clothes she wore. Cute wasn't a word that could be used to describe any of them. Hot, sexy, drive men insane kind of clothes, that was how he could describe them. It was amazing how good she looked in everything and he wanted to know how she'd look without them on. "I don't understand why you're angry Eva. Up until now I've told you a lot of things that could have angered you" he said looking down at her. She'd stopped fighting him and was just lying there glaring at him. "You're frustrating Mason. One second you're all over me and the next you want me to leave after dinner. I'm at a loss on what you want" he sighed and dropped beside her. "You're not the only one feeling frustrated. This is going too fast" "Is that your way of calling me cheap an
Talk about bad timing. That fucking stalker was going to get it when she found him. Why that day of all days? He could have chosen to trash her house another day. Hell she would have paid him to change his plans so she could spend more time with Mason. He'd surprised her. She hadn't believed he would give in so soon, especially after he'd insisted on going to sleep last night. Her body ached because of him and for him but it still wasn't enough. She wanted more, had already planned how she was going to spend the day. Why were people so hellbent on ruining her life? "Let me come with you" he was worried. For her. How cute. "No, you're going to distract me. It's been months since the stalker acted and I need to know what spooked him or her. It could be a woman, why hadn't I thought that?" "Eva, have you talked to the police about this?" "I have an entire task force on it" He took her by the shoulders and bent down to look into her eyes "You shouldn't joke about something lik
