Eva was shocked to hear such an offer from Gabriel. Wasn't she signing the contract? What was it now?"Sir, I already had my contract. What is this?" Perplexed, Eva asked, "What is this?" Gabriel kept his cold demeanour and prepared for her responses instead."Your job contracts. I renew it, so you must re-sign it." Gabriel briefly explained. Eva shook her head to reject the idea. She had read all the clauses, and one party's termination or breaking of the contract was breaking the rule."You cannot terminate it and ask me to re-sign. It'll breach the contract." Eva slightly raised her soft tone towards Gabriel. Her innocent squick made Gabriel feel the desire rush through his back. When she did something that opposed Gabriel, it aroused a passionate desire inside him. He wanted to tear her clothes, then bend her on his table, roaming her with all the passion to the peak like no tomorrow."I don't care. You are my employee, so you must obey me as your boss. What's the big deal? Just s
"Please, let me go," Eva slightly murmured, then pushed Gabriel. Gabriel clutched loosen up when he stared at Eva in disbelief. He couldn't accept that Eva did not want his money."I'll pay you 50 grand now if you sign the paper. Cash!" He emphasized that he still refused to give up."Save your money, sir. If you force me to sign, I will quit your company and send you my resignation letter tomorrow. I will also send our discussion recording to the police so they can arrest you. I'm not afraid of you!" said Eva confidently. Although the shivers still ran down her spine, she didn't care. She fiercely faces Gabriel with all the courage that Luna should have.Gabriel is stunned at his place. His anger evaporated in the air for some reason; he didn't want to hurt her like he had planned. Meanwhile, Cheyne and Ethan stayed silent and kept their gazes on Gabriel to wait for his response."Fine, don't quit, and I will not force you to sign the paper. But you have to stay as my executive secre
"This can't be good." Bryan murmured as he witnessed Eva being pulled by Jasper Kent to his car. Initially, Bryan left a few seconds ago but reversed the car back a few yards. Therefore, he can see Jasper Kent pulling Eva. Bryan was going after to find an alternative to tag Kent's car. He has to protect Eva whenever it might seem dangerous for her."What do you want to eat for dinner?" Jasper asked Eva. Eva glanced at him and shook her head."Nothing; I'm not hungry." She reasoned, then lowered her head instead."But this is dinner time. You must be hungry." Jasper insists on his offer. His Beta, Everest, was driving the car while Jasper and Eva sat in the back seat."Not really," Eva murmured. She didn't feel comfortable with Jasper now. Something different about him distanced her feeling somehow."I'm hungry, and I want you to eat with me." Eva chose to stay quiet and sat beside Jasper calmly.The car arrived at one of the finest restaurants in town─ Novecento, which Jasper has rese
Gabriel raggedly cursed when he heard about Jasper taking Luna to dinner. Moreover, it was a romantic one. Bryan was still on the phone, gasping and annoying while reporting it to Gabriel."Damnit. I'll be there soon!" Gabriel cut off the call and then strolled out of his office. He growled and clenched his fist. Cheyne entered the elevator, left his room, and saw his Alpha."Alpha!" Gabriel was in the elevator, so he didn't hear the call. Cheyne had no idea about Gabriel at all. But seeing his tense expression, I knew something should be happening. Mostly, it could have been a better one."Where's he going?" Cheyne murmured. He took another elevator to follow Gabriel.Unfortunately, Cheyne was unable to catch Gabriel's steps. Gabriel went off immediately with his car without a driver. An Epsilon who intended to go with Gabriel stood on the last stair of the main lobby, stunned. He stared at his Alpha, then turned to see Cheyne, who had just arrived at the stairs."What happened?" ask
Gabriel walked into the Novecento along with his Epsilon, Bryan Hunter. He came to a reservation waiter and asked for a table."I'm the owner of Xander Enterprise; I want a good table for myself," Gabriel ordered, as cold as he was. The waiter does not argue, like when Bryan came before. He nodded and asked him to follow. Hence, Gabriel witnessed something that boiled his blood."What do you think about my offer?" Jasper asked after a long pause from Eva. Eva glanced back at Jasper, who was waiting for her answer."I'm," Eva stumbled with her own words. Was this the right thing to do? Or she only made another hell hole; she doesn't realize."I need time to think. Moreover, I have signed the contract. It's not even a week yet. So,"Before Eva continued, Gabriel approached their table. With two hands in his pockets, he barged in arrogantly."What a good night to see you here, Kent. This is the place where you have dinner, huh?" Gabriel strokes in with a cynical, unprepared confrontation
A few minutes passed, and Eva was still scooping her dessert into her mouth. Although she lost concentration after she read Gabriel's secret message, Eva managed to remain calm. Eva was thinking about how to avoid him. As the shivers ran down her spine for no reason, Gabriel put his stern gaze up at her from behind. Jasper glanced, then glared at Gabriel, who kept his stare at his table. "What does he want?" he gritted annoyingly. Eva heard it and then turned back. Gabriel's eyes peered straight at her. She widened her eyes and then got back to stare at the dessert. "Don't think about it," Jasper added, as if he sensed Eva's discomfort. Eva smiled slightly, then bit her lower lip, thinking of something. "I have to go to the bathroom," Eva said before standing. Jasper smiled while nodding. She went to the women's restroom with her purse. Gabriel took a glimpse of Eva and waited for his moment. Bryan then turned back before taking his phone to type something. Not so long after, Jaspe
"It was such a pleasure. Thank you for having dinner with me," Jasper smiled when he escorted Eva to her door. Eva also smiled and nodded. Jasper was getting closer, then took her right hand to clutch it gently. Still, at her place, Eva didn't do anything didn't but get hung up by him."Tonight is one of the most wonderful nights ever for me. I want us to have more dinner like this tomorrow or in a few days." Jasper continued. Eva slightly frowned, although she kept her gentle smile to herself.Eva asked curiously, "What do you mean?"."I like you. I want you to be my girlfriend. We can try for a new relationship. I think that we can work it out, right?" Jasper replied to her confidently with his proposal. Eva promptly opened her mouth, stunned by Jasper's request."I," she had no idea what to say. Jasper got closer and grasped her hands now. Meanwhile, Eva got confused and awry because Jasper asked the same question as when they were at the amusement park."You may think it's too soo
Emilia couldn't believe it when she heard Eva's confession. She even opened her mouth in shock."What?" she shrieked in surprise."This isn't the first time he's asked me to be his girlfriend. Jasper once said the same thing when he took me to the amusement park," said Eva, adding to her confession. Emilia folded her arms across her chest again. She looked even more annoyed because Jasper had acted out of line."Then what do you say?" Emilia said. Eva shrugged her shoulders slightly."I haven't answered clearly. I've only said I don't want to be in a serious relationship." Eva replied more. She lowered her head slightly, then caught her hard breath. Emilia also felt somewhat anxious. It seemed like she was burdening Eva with something unnecessary."You know we came to Miami because we were running away from your father, right? All this time, we don't know whether he is looking for us." Eva returned to paying attention to Emilia's words. She has yet to nod or give a response."Then sud
