“What do you mean by that, Damien?” Thomas asked while looking at Damien, same with both Sophia and Howard.

“It's not possible for me to find a spot for her in the company.” Damien replied with a cold tone.

“How isn't that possible? Sophia has been working abroad for more than a year plus. I believe she has good potential and the most important fact is that she is the daughter of my acquaintance.” Thomas stated, hoping that this information he just said would be enough to change Damien's mind. Although this was the first time he would be interfering or asking Damien to do something like this, he had to because he was hoping that Sophia would become his future grand-daughter-in-law one day. So all this effort was to benefit him in the future.

“She might be your friend's daughter, but no preferential treatment will be given to her, so if she wants to work in the company she has to go through the normal procedures. There are other people more befitting for the spot she would be taking in

    After spending the rest of the whole time with Eva, Nathalia decided to take leave when it was already late. She would have preferred to stay over but she had to make sure she was home because she had work to do the next day and her Manager- Sarah would skin her alive if she found out that she wasn't at home.Eva closed the door after Nathalia left, she glanced at the mess in the living room and decided to ignore it for the next day because she was already tired from the long day.She fell lazily on her bed and dozed off to sleep.********The next morning, Eva was woken up by the sound of her familiar ringtone next to her. Groaning and grumbling under her breath, she wondered why the people didn't let her sleep. With sleep weighing her down, she rumbled through the bedside table and picked up her phone at the last ring.“Hello……?” Eva's groggily answered, barely able to keep her eyes open.“Gasp! Why do you only pick up on the last ring? Why not first or second? Don't tell me you're

    “I almost forgot to tell you this, Boss. I received a message this morning.” Shane announced as he looked at Damien.For the first time since Shane had entered the office, Damien raised his head up to look at Shane. “Tell me.” He ordered.“I received a call and some documents of ownership were sent to me this morning?” Shane stated. A deep frown appeared on Damien's face when he heard Shane. “Ownership of what?” He asked.“A yacht.” Shane wasted no time and revealed it to Damien. “And there is no other information about the person who had bought the yacht.” Shane added on.Damien was silent for a while as he was in a deep thought. However, Shane was confused why his Boss had been silent, without anyone telling him who was behind the yacht he had his hunch that it was none other than Eva who had bought the yacht in return to the house and flowers Damien had sent to her the previous day.Shane couldn't help but secretly admire Eva's courage to go head to head with his Boss.

    “Oh my goodness, who is that beautiful woman? Who is she here to see?” One of the female students in the group of her friends whispered.“I know, right? She is so stunning. Look at her composure.” Another one whispered in support.“I wish I had a big sister like her waiting for me.” The girls gossiped as they walked past Eva to their car.Eva smirked at the comments she heard from the girls. They are still kids, so it's probably that they don't recognize her at all.Glancing at the watch again, she realized that she had been waiting for an extra five minutes and her presence was gaining too much attention which was starting to irritate her. “How long does that brat plan to stay hidden there before he comes out?” Eva mumbled silently to herself as she looked at the school gate. Eva sighted the small bench that was placed not too far from her so she made her way there and sat down while waiting for her brother. Since he had no idea that she was here, she can't blame him for keeping her

    “So, if he hadn't called you, you wouldn't have come to see me?” Lucien glared at Eva angrily. He was secretly hoping that Eva had come to check up on him because she missed him but her presence now was due to the fact that Matthew called her.Eva sighed when she heard him. “I'm sorry, I haven't reached out to you for a while now, I have just been busy handling some business.” Eva apologized, feeling guilty for ghosting Lucien for the past few months. “You are not forgiven yet.” Lucien said with a straight face, even though he could tell that Eva was extremely sincere about her apology.“Come on, don't be so hard on me and forgive this sister of yours. How about I make it up to you, hm?” Eva suggested and Lucien turned to look at her with a curious expression. “What?” He asked.“Let me take you out for lunch. I've missed eating with you.” Eva had a smile on her face. If anyone was to see Eva at the moment, they would be surprised to see her having such an expression on her way, she

    “Oh my, Lucien! How are you doing? It's been a long time since this big sister saw your cute face.” Nathalia teased as she chuckled slightly. “I'm no longer a kid so stop calling me a cute boy.” Lucien retorted back, but his response only made Nathalia laugh out loud.“You are to both me and your sister. Speaking of her, why is she in a daze? What happened to her?” Nathalia asked, switching the topic back to Eva. “I showed her the most trending news on the internet, perhaps she was shocked to see herself.” Lucien casually replied as he glanced at Eva.“Oh, that's enough for her to be in a daze." Nathalia commented.After a few more seconds of staring at the phone, Eva stretched her hand and grabbed her phone from Lucien who was surprised by his sister's swift movement. “What the hell is this?” Eva demanded from Nathalia, she was still holding Lucien's phone and staring at it intently, hoping it'd disappear the longer she looked at it.“You're back. Anyways, this image is going vira

    Eva couldn't tell the reason he was asking her that question all of a sudden but she could roughly guess the meaning of his question.“What do you mean? And what is the reason for asking such question?” Eva acted clueless about what he meant. “You know what I mean. I'm asking if you are feeling okay now after that day? Though my question is a little bit late but it's also your fault.” Lucien replied with a frown on his face. He was a little bit embarrassed that he was just asking the question now, plus he didn't want to mention that he was talking about her failed wedding day.Eva smiled when she looked at Lucien, she knew that it took him a lot of courage to ask her this question because he was being causious that he would reopen her healing wounds.“Oh my, are you worried about me?” Eva asked with a teasing smile plastered on her face.“You bet! Why would I be worried about you? I only asked that because I was just curious seeing how you're smiling from ear to ear.” Lucien quickly

    “Come on, you know what I mean. You seem to be making plans with them earlier to hang out, which I hope I didn't ruin by the way?” Eva asked.“Don't you think that question is a little bit too late. Besides I never planned to hangout with them in the first place.” Lucien replied which made Eva smirk at his comment.“Then that means I have you all to myself today.” Eva smiled cheekly at Lucien.“Don't do that.” Lucien rolled his eyes and looked away from Eva. “You're no fun sometimes….” Eva pouted her mouth as she leaned back on the chair. “That reminds me, I heard that you went to a blind date?” Lucien inquired as he looked back at Eva who was still sulking.“Ah, about that…..I did. How did you come to know about that?” Eva peered at Lucien.“Did you think my mother was going to keep her mouth shut after she finally had the chance to hook you up with someone?” Lucien replied, but his voice was lazed with sacarsm. One could tell by the expression on his face that, Lucien wasn't close

    However, he was expecting too much from the lady because her next words made him realized that it was useless trying to think that she was an understanding person.“Wow, the guts you have to tell such bullshit! Well, since you are very much aware of the fact that I don't use any other private room except for this one, it would be very best for you to go inside now and tell to evacuate the room this instance. Moreover, if you know that you can't carry out this simple order and task of mine, get me your restaurant manager. I will have you fired on this spot due to the fact that you're very incompetent at doing your job to satisfy a customer.” The lady adamantly refused to comply with the waiter's request. Instead, she tried to threaten the waiter with his job so that he would do what ever she wants.The waiter glanced at her with surprise, even though he was doing his job and duty perfectly that was not an enough excuse if the manager shows up here. If the manager comes, he would be the

    “I... I’m starting to think Eva might be trying to sabotage me. You know, with the awards coming up, and her growing popularity... I just have this feeling she’s trying to push me out of the competition,” Christine said, her voice trembling slightly as if she was on the verge of breaking down. She knew Mark would respond to weakness, to vulnerability, just as he always had.Mark’s voice was low, filled with annoyance. “What do you mean, sabotage you? She’s already got the public on her side. What else does she want?”“I don’t know, Mark. But I can’t shake the feeling that she’s behind some of the things happening to me lately,” Christine continued, carefully planting the seed of doubt. “She’s been getting more endorsements, more media attention... She’s always one step ahead, and I feel like she’s using me to boost her own career. Maybe she’s trying to push me out of the spotlight, making sure I don’t have a chance to win.”Mark was silent for a moment, processing the information. Chr

    Eva didn’t respond immediately. She could feel the seriousness in Everett’s words, and for a brief moment, the playful rivalry between them was pushed aside.Everett’s eyes softened slightly as she looked at Eva, a rare glimpse of concern flickering in her gaze. “What are you going to do about her? She’s the one who caused my accident but had that person lie he was a fan, right? Also with the recent things happening, I can tell she’s been pulling strings, trying to break you down.”Eva's expression hardened, her grip tightening on her wine glass. “I’m not sure yet. But Christine’s time is running out.” She gave a slight, bitter laugh. “I won’t let her destroy me.”Everett studied Eva for a moment, her face unreadable. “Be careful, Eva,” she said quietly, her tone more serious than Eva had ever heard. “Christine’s dangerous. And she’s got a way of making everyone believe her sweet little act.”Eva took a deep breath, looking away briefly as she processed Everett’s words. The concern wa

    The day of the event arrived, and Christine was glowing with victory. Dressed in an elegant gown, she enjoyed the attention as she mingled with industry elites, knowing she was now the headlining speaker.With Eva out of the picture, this was her moment.Then the doors opened.Gasps rippled through the crowd as Eva walked in, effortlessly poised, wearing a breathtaking designer dress. The cameras instantly shifted toward her, flashing in rapid succession.Christine’s smile faltered. “What is she doing here?”Before she could react, the event host stepped onto the stage, microphone in hand.“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special surprise. While there were some scheduling changes, we’re honored to have Eva here tonight.”Christine stiffened. “What? That’s impossible!”Eva merely smiled, making her way toward the front.Kai had pulled the right strings behind the scenes. Even if she wasn’t an official speaker anymore, she was still one of the biggest names in the room—and the audience

    Christine was livid. Every attempt to ruin Eva had backfired, and now, the industry was beginning to suspect foul play.Her carefully crafted innocent image was slipping, and she refused to let that happen.Gripping her phone tightly, she dialed Tanya, her voice sharp the moment the call connected."Tanya, listen carefully. I don’t care what it takes—pull every string, bribe whoever you need to, but make sure Eva does not attend the upcoming fashion event. I want her out, completely.”Tanya hesitated. “Christine, are you sure about this? Maybe you should—”“Don’t question me!” Christine snapped, her frustration boiling over. “Do you think I have the luxury of waiting? Eva is already taking the spotlight. If this continues, I won’t even be considered for the Top Ten Models Award!”Tanya sighed. “Fine. I’ll see what I can do. But Christine, be careful. You’re playing a dangerous game. If this backfires, it could cost you everything.”Christine scoffed. “Please. Eva won’t be able to prov

    Christine sat alone in the dimly lit hotel, her fingers lightly tapping against the side of her untouched wine glass. The usually confident and composed woman looked lost in thought, her expression unreadable as she stared at the city skyline beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows.Everything she had planned against Eva had backfired spectacularly. Instead of destroying Eva’s reputation, she had only fueled the public’s admiration for her. The industry was turning against Christine, and the narrative was slipping out of her control.A soft click of heels echoed through the room, breaking Christine from her thoughts.“Christine?”She turned her head slightly, finding Tanya standing near the entrance, a curious look on her face.Tanya was one of the few people Christine trusted—or rather, tolerated—because she was useful. Smart, cunning, and always willing to play dirty, Tanya had been by Christine’s side long enough to know exactly how far she was willing to go to get what she wanted.“Wh

    A few days after Mark successfully cleared his name from the Harper Luxuries scandal, Christine sat alone in her dressing room, her perfectly manicured fingers tapping impatiently against the vanity table.She had tried everything—sabotage, whispers in the right ears, carefully placed rumors—yet Eva always came out unscathed. Every plan Christine devised had crumbled before her eyes, and it was beginning to drive her insane.If indirect tactics didn’t work, she had to change her approach. This time, she wouldn’t hide behind shadows. She wouldn’t need to.Instead, she would manipulate the situation so well that Eva would ruin herself.All she needed was the perfect stage.---An exclusive fashion gala was set to take place, attended by top designers, influencers, and media elites. Both Eva and Christine had been invited as brand ambassadors for their respective labels.Christine smirked to herself. This was it. The perfect opportunity.She had carefully arranged for the media’s attenti

    The dim candlelight cast a golden glow over the elegantly set dining table. A soft melody played in the background, filling the room with warmth. Christine had spent hours preparing this—his favorite dishes, the finest wine. Tonight had to be perfect.She glanced at the clock anxiously. Mark would be home soon. And she had to fix this.The front door finally opened, and Mark stepped inside. His face was tired, his eyes dark with frustration. He didn’t even glance at the romantic dinner she had prepared. Instead, he sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair.“Christine, what is this?” His voice was cold.Christine swallowed and stepped toward him. “A dinner. For us.”Mark scoffed, shaking his head. “A dinner? Christine, do you have any idea what I’ve been dealing with? My father’s furious. Investors are backing out after the Harper Luxuries. I've lost of funds.” His voice grew sharper, filled with exhaustion. “And do you know what people are whispering? That my own fiancée might

    The silence between them was thick with unspoken thoughts, but Damien wasn’t one to leave things unresolved. He turned slightly, his piercing gaze fixed on her.“Why didn’t you ask for my help?” His voice was calm but held an edge of something deeper—something close to frustration.Eva, who had been absentmindedly tracing the rim of her wine glass, glanced at him. A small smirk curled her lips, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.“Because it was something I could handle,” she said simply. “Like always.”Damien’s expression remained unreadable, but his fingers curled slightly against his knee. “And if you couldn’t?”Eva shrugged. “Then I would have asked. But it wasn’t time for that yet.”That answer didn’t satisfy him. He exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple. “Eva—”“I know what you’re going to say,” she interrupted, meeting his gaze head-on. “You think I should have let you take care of it. But Damien, I don’t always need you to fight my battles. Sometimes, I want to win them on my own

    Eva sat on the couch, feeling bored. The scandal had caused too much noise, and going home—where the paparazzi were undoubtedly lurking—was out of the question.With a sigh, Eva reached for her phone and scrolled through her contacts. Her finger hovered over Damien for a moment before she pressed the call button.The phone rang twice before his deep, smooth voice came through. “Eva.”Just her name. Nothing more. But there was something in the way he said it—low, controlled, yet sharp with attention—that made her exhale slowly.“Hey,” she murmured, leaning against the plush headboard.Silence. Then, “What’s wrong?”She almost smiled. He always saw through her.“I can’t go home,” she admitted, rubbing her temple. “The reporters are camped outside. And after today’s interview… they’ll only get worse.”Damien didn’t answer immediately. She could hear the faint rustling of papers, the click of a pen, before he finally spoke. “Where are you?”“Penthouse suite at the Grand Royale,” she repli
