Chase's face sported a satisfied smirk as he watched from his car in the parking lot as Martins was dragged out of the building."Piliste is definitely going to be more fun than I expected," he said to himself "Where are we headed next?" He asked Agatha.She listed their next activity from her head before opening her iPad to cross-check and they drove to the next location.The next two meetings that followed after the one at Ace-cee went smoothly and Chase was able to close the deals."That's all for today," Agatha said when they entered the car after exiting the last company.Chase made a non-committal sound at the back of his throat while he was doing victory dances inside, happy that the day had finally come to a wrap and he could get some rest."Your date is scheduled by 7:30pm," Agatha said, bursting his happy bubbles and he groaned, throwing his head back on the headrest. Agatha found this funny and the sides of her lips tugged upward.Chase thought for a while and almost as if

The woman's blonde hair rested over her shoulders in bouncy waves. She sat upright with her upturned nose high in the air as she waited for the date her father had arranged for her."Hi, Veronica, I'm sorry I'm late," he apologized for keeping the young lady waiting as soon as he got there.Veronica turned to her right where the voice was coming from and her breath hitched in her throat. Her father told her that the person she was going to see was the son of his long time friend and business partner. She had mapped out different images of the person in her head but none of them came close to describe how handsome the man that stared at her was."Are you okay?" Chase asked wkty concern when she stared at him for longer than was normal and she was snapped out of her daydream.""Yeah, um, hi. I'm Veronica," she said nervously and stood up to offer him a handshake."I already know that," he replied with his million dollar smile and took her hand in his and handed her the flowers.Veronica

With shaky hands, Laura returned to the table with Veronica's order.Veronica frowned at the food and was about to say something when she realized that Laura had gotten her order wrong but Chase beat her to it."What is this?" He asked and Laura's eyes snapped up to meet his. "Are you deaf or just plain stupid that you couldn't get a simple order correctly?" He asked with annoyance."The…..sir…" she immediately corrected her slip up."Shut up and get this rubbish out of here and come back with my correct order if you don't want to lose your job," Veronica did the rest of the talking.It irked her how the girl seemed to know Theo, who she now liked and even though Theo had made it clear that they didn't know each other, she could tell he was lying and she planned to do everything to belittle the girl.Chase on the other hand, really enjoyed how scared and confused Laura looked at their outburst. She had been so scared and anxious that she got the order wrong and they made sure to ridic

"Miss, kindly come with me," he told Laura quietly and before she could process his words, he was already pulling her elbow away.She couldn't even say anything. Her only reaction was the tears streaming down her face as she turned around to look at Chase who had a hard expression on his face.She didn't want to cause a scene because she knew that that would make matters worse for her, so she just followed the manager out of the building in silence."Please sir, it was a mistake," she finally begged when the weight of what was going on dawned on her but by then, they were already in the lobby."I don't give second chances and even if I wanted to, you heard the man," the manager said with no emotions. "Make sure she doesn't show her face here again," he instructed the guards and they pushed out the rest of the way.Crying heavily now, she moved to the side of the road and her knees gave in and wobbled under her, causing her to fall on the ground in the parking lot.She could already te

"I don't mean to pry but from what that lady said, it seems like you both had a relationship," she started as she turned to the side to gauge his reaction.Chase had expected her question, hence he wasn't too surprised that she asked."Yes," he said simply. His tone came out flat to discourage her from asking any more questions but Veronica wasn't having it."Why would you date someone like that?" She asked and scrunched up her nose."I don't see how that's any of your business," he snapped. He had finally had enough of her meddling in his business all night.She jumped a bit from his outburst and her lips quivered."Sorry. Sorry for snapping at you, I'm just tired," he apologized."That's okay," she muttered.The rest of the ride was in silence and soon, her house came into view."Let me walk you to the front," he said and she nodded happily.They slid out of the car that was already held open for them and walked to the front of the house."We should do this again and soon. I had so

"Stop staring at the door like a moron, Evelyn, he isn't coming back," Alice said after they had watched the press release that morning. "Boy, that guy sure was sneaky. Vice president? I can't believe he came down and mingled with us. I knew there was something off about him," Alice rattled on as she pushed her cart out of the door.Evelyn was finally left alone to her thoughts.She pulled out her phone and her thumb hovered over the number that she had dialed and texted a million times over the past couple of weeks.She couldn't believe that he would hide something that huge from her."I'm such a fool," she said and swiped her fingers till she deleted his number and the first year slipped down from her eyes.The rest of the day passed with her being in a daze and she couldn't wait for it to be over.Closing time soon reached and she was the first person to leave the hotel and head home.She got to the house and something seemed off."I'm sure I locked it this morning," she mumbled to

Chase's fist stopped mid-air and his breath hitched when the door opened to reveal Evelyn.He had thought of what to say and even rehearsed it in the car on his way but now that he was there, all the words disappeared into this air.Evelyn stared at him for a couple of seconds and her face hardened when she realized that she wasn't dreaming and he was really there."Hi," he started, not knowing what else to say.Her first instinct was to shut the door on his face, which was what she did but he was quick enough to hold the door."Eve, please hear me out," he pleaded.She was about to say something when her brother's voice interrupted her."Evelyn, who's at the door?" He asked as he closed the distance to the door.She looked over her shoulder and turned back to Chase but before her brother could reach the door, she reacted."Don't worry about it, Malcolm. It's no one," she yelled and after a muffled 'okay', he retreated back into the house and she closed the door behind her, fully step

"Eve," Chase called and rested his head on the cool wood of the door but he was only met with silence.He stayed that way for a long time and when it was clear that she wasn't coming out again, he walked back to his car with slumped shoulders.He drove himself after making sure to tell the guards not to follow him because he didn't want to overwhelm her.As soon as he reached the car and sat down, a single tear rolled down from his eyes."Fuck!" He growled and hit his head on the steering wheel.After he woke up in Theo's body, he had promised himself never to cry for a woman, which was exactly what he was doing.Only this time, it was different.He was crying because he had hurt the one person that truly cared about him. Not his status, not his wealth. Just him, Theo, without the big surname.The hurt that she felt had been evident in her empty eyes, which made him feel even more guilty."I fucked up. Big time, and I've lost her," he said in a resigned voice.He stared into space for
