The days flew by like a gust of wind. One week's extension turned into another and another and another. It had been always a month and a half since Ethan traveled. Eve couldn't have been lonelier if it wasn't for her work distracting her. Literally, the club had been very active recently. "Madam, you're not thinking of going to work today, right?" A maid stood behind Eve as she slowly ate her food in the dining room. "Camila, stop pestering. I promise I'm fine." Eve gave the girl a helpless look. She'd taken her medication properly and constantly followed the Doctor's advice. But out of nowhere, she fainted again last night, making the maids and the Stewardess alert. "I'm sure there's not much work to do at the company since the Young Master is not around. Can't you rest for some days, Madam? You've also warned us not to let him know of your fainting spree, but if he finds out we'll all be in trouble.""No one will get into any trouble." Eve shook her head. "Now, get me some gluco

The sun was orange in the sky. The work hours were almost over and night was descending fast. But the whole company was in a frenzy. Employees scattered around the area, bumping into each other and gathering files and everything they could get their hands on. Eve trotted after Ethan as he strode into the company. On the large TV screen on the first floor was the news airing. Almost every channel in the city was showing the news accompanied by those photos. Eve grimaced and she looked away from the screen. They stepped into the elevator but didn't go up to the president's area. The general meeting was being held at the HR department. And not only were the shareholders present, but all the managers and other higher-ups in the company were also present. "What is the meaning of this, Mr. Anderson? Are the rumors correct?""Who published such news by the way? I don't want to believe that it is the truth.""Mr. Anderson, the media claimed that you're having an affair with your secretary

"Can you listen to yourself, Mrs. Anderson? I know you are looking for a way out, but please don't implicate me in your problem. Mr. Anderson and every good shareholder and manager in this room know well that I have been nothing but loyal to this company." "Well, let's see if you have truly been loyal." Eve snickered. "And don't interrupt me again, Jessica. You've had your forum, now it is mine." Eve glanced at Ethan then the other people across the table, her gaze sweeping past Amanda and the two middle-aged men who looked as pale as a sheet. "I joined that Club to fish out the traitors, to begin with. Yes, I have carried out missions for them. They gave me files to sneak among the president's documents. They asked me to plant a chip under his desk to know every important conversation he has. But tell me, Amanda." Her eyes fell on the Lady. "What did I tell you about that chip?" "You said it malfunctioned because the only way you could place it was under his chair. And since the

Saturday came slower than Eve anticipated. She woke up the next morning and found the space beside her empty. Her eyes strayed to the window, the sky was bright outside. Seemed like she'd overslept. Eve left the bed and walked into the bathroom. After getting ready for the day, she left the bedroom and walked downstairs for breakfast. As she ate her food, her mind went to the list of things she prepared last night. Ethan promised to take her on a date in the evening. Should she change into something nicer or wait till the evening approach before changing her dress? She could just buy a new dress and wear it, right? Or even better, she could go to a stylist."Ahhhhh!" A loud yell came from the large doors, breaking her train of thought. Eve frowned and hurried up. She rushed out of the house and almost ran back when she recognized the voice. "Ahhhh! Big Bro, no. Please don't. I swear I didn't do anything, she started it."Eve followed the direction where the voice was coming from a

Eve opened her eyes and a white ceiling loomed above. Her vision blurred for a few seconds before it slowly got clearer, and the smell of disinfectants invaded her nose. Where was she? Her eyes left the ceiling and her hand wandered to her stomach. A dull ache coursed through it. She looked around the wide room with only one bed and a couch then two chairs. A water dispenser stood in a corner and she swallowed... Nothing. Her throat was dry. Eve struggled to sit up and something sharp pricked at her hand. Looking toward her left hand, her eyes fell on the needle inserted in her arm, and it traveled up to the IV drip attached to it.'Urgh.' she rubbed her forehead and let out a groan. At that moment, the sound of the door opening pulled her attention towards it and a petite figure in a blue uniform walked in. "You're up, Mrs. Anderson." The nurse flashed her a bright smile and checked out the IV fluid. "Seems like it's almost finished.""W–What happened to me? Why am I here?" Eve
