The news of Eve's closeness to Mrs. Daphne and her appointment as Gery's assistant certainly did not escape the whole company's attention. News began to spread that something was going on between Eve and Gery. And unpleasant gossip was inevitable.Eve was now facing a bad atmosphere because whenever she was in the cafeteria, she would hear the other staff whispering and glancing at her. It was obvious that they must be talking about her. Eve initially tried to ignore them, but she got fed up. Finally, she never went to the cafeteria anymore. She deliberately asked her mother to prepare a lunch box for her every day because she didn't have time to queue for food in the canteen."Eve, did you hear about the rumors circulating about you among the employees?" Dave asked one day when they decided to have lunch together at a spot in Vinestra Park."I don't know; it must not be far from the gossip about my closeness with Mr. Gery and Mrs. Daphne, right? I've heard it many times but ignored i

hem24. Burned with JealousyDave, still waiting for Eve's answer, was even more disappointed when he saw that girl hurriedly walking with Gery, dressed officially and carrying their briefcases. It was predictable that they were going out for some event, whether professional or not. That left Dave with all his evil thoughts."Damn! She hasn't even given me an answer yet, but to go off with another guy so casually! Damn it!" cursed Dave as his eyes watched the two figures walk further away towards the parking area reserved for the higher-ups at Vinestra.Dave was burning with jealousy. Especially since he once overheard the conversation between Madam Daphne and Sofia that the two women wanted Gery to be close to Eve, and they would deliberately find many opportunities for them to be together."I must act before it's too late," he resolved as he clenched his fists until his knuckles looked white. An evil plan to keep Gery and Eve apart from each other is now fulfilled in his head. Yes, t

25. Dave's Revenge"Hmm ... already being that close to the boss, hm?" sneered Dave when he deliberately paralleled Eve's steps on the way to her car in the parking lot at workout time."Uh, Dave? What do you mean?" asked Eve, not understanding what Dave meant."You had lunch outside with Mr. Gery earlier? And you're still acting like you two are enemies. Tsk, how dramatic!" Dave continued to sneer while snorting in annoyance.His face, which looked very insulting to Eve, made Eve annoyed. "What's wrong with you? We had a meeting at lunchtime with a potential investor. I was invited because they made an appointment suddenly without any prior plans," Eve replied as her eyes narrowed to scrutinize Dave, whose attitude was getting stranger by the day."Oh, but even the attitude of the two of you is like partners who have been working together for a long time. Not like two humans who are hostile to each other," commented Dave again,"Oh, God, Dave, we're two adults and professionals. We

On the other hand, far away in Paris, a girl with a perfect body and extremely beautiful eyes was looking at the screen that was showing the results of the shoot they had just done. Her shoulders were a little tired from having to wear a fancy dress costume with lots of over-the-shoulder attributes for most of the day, but she couldn't resist the urge to check out the results of her hard work."Well done, Cher. You always succeed in getting a soul every time you play a character. Look at that dismissive look in your eyes, hm? It really suits your character. You're my smart princess," praises the famous photographer who has worked with Cheryl for a long time and already considers the New York model as his daughter because she's always willing to go everywhere."But there's a bit of a miss in the part where I'm running. Should it be ripe? A woman with a broken heart should not be running with a stiff look on her face. There should be a sad look that--""No need, Cher. That was good. Mad

For several days, Dave kept the heartache inside. He, who used to be a calm man and never did anything unusual, is now in transition. Sometimes, love can change a person's personality. His love and obsession with Eve made Dave want her for himself."Eve has to be mine," he mutters to himself.After work that afternoon, Dave deliberately waited for Eve's car to drive past him in the parking lot. From there, he followed Eve's car closely and waited for the right moment to pull over to stop in the middle of the road.The opportunity came when he was at the turn of the alley to enter Eve's house. Dave overtook Eve's car before it turned and blocked the access road until Eve inevitably stopped and got out of her car."What else do you want, Dave? Are you crazy?" Eve exclaimed as she got out of the car and approached Dave's car. Eve wanted to scold Dave for breaking so suddenly that she almost hit her head on the steering wheel."We need to talk, Eve," Dave said as he exited the car and loo
