"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

His footsteps echoed loudly but somehow, the sound of loud chattering surpassed it as he drew nearer to the office.Patrick's secretary saw him and her eyes bulged out of their sockets but it was already too late to alert her boss.Without saying a word to her, Chase closed the remaining distance between him and the door, pushing it open when he was close enough."Kaitlyn, I told you not to let anyone in," Patrick groaned without looking up from where he sat on the couch.Patrick and Paul were both seated on the couch, exchanging stories and laughing at the top of their lungs, ignoring all the work that needed to be done."Is this what you're paid to do?" Chase's gentle but cold voice filled the small space of the room and the two men snapped their heads to the right to see the new entrée.Patrick squinted his eyes to see properly and they widened the next second when he realized who it was and he shot up from his seat, Paul following after him."Theo…it's really true," Patrick stutte

He stood tall and shoved his hands into his pockets as the two men who were highly respected by all in the company bowed their heads in shame and kissed his shoes.He closed his eyes at the feeling of superiority and at that moment, he finally felt vindicated.They stayed that way for a few seconds before kneeling upright again with their heads bowed."Very well. I'll reconsider my decision," Chase said but he couldn't let them off the hook that easily."Thank you, sir, " they thanked him profusely."You'll get your jobs back, but no longer as managers," he said."What?" The men stared up at him as they tried to understand what he was driving at. "You'll both resume as security guards," he announced and the murmuring around the room grew even more but the men couldn't hear anything past the ringing in their ears."What…you can't do that…" Paul stuttered."Oh, I can," Chase said with arched eyebrows."Look, sir, you can't just demote us to lowly security guards…""It's either that or

Chase got to the house, taking the stairs two at a time till he reached his room.He quickly went into his closet and looked around for a while till his eyes settled on what he was looking for.His fingers skimmed through the low quality fabric of the shirt and a smile played on his lips.Taking off his million dollar tux, he changed into the 20 dollar blue shirt that Evelyn had gotten for him at a chain store and he paired it with black slacks.He ruffled his hair, taking out the style in it and leaving it in its natural curls. When he was satisfied with his look, he headed downstairs."Young master," Agatha called from the living room, making him halt his footsteps. "Yes?" He asked hurriedly, not wanting to waste more time than was necessary."I'm sorry but I think you're forgetting something," she told him, making him furrrow his eyebrows.What could he possibly be forgetting?"What is that?" He voiced his thoughts. "Didn't I already tell you to clear my schedule today?" He asked

"Stop!" Her shrill voice broke the two men apart. "What is wrong with the both of you?" She scolded as she moved Theo off her brother."Do you know this asshole?" Malcolm asked with a broken lip."Yes, Malcolm and why did you get in a fight with him? You could get in serious trouble for this!" She yelled, her hand still on Theo's chest."Why are you taking his side when he started it?" Malcolm yelled back, wiping his bloodied lips with the back of his hand."I'm not taking anyone's side, Malcolm, but you should know better," she said and turned to Theo. "What are you doing here?" She asked, the fury never leaving her eyes."I just came to ask you to go on a date with me and…" Theo started but she interrupted him."And you planned on doing that by getting into a fight with my brother?" She asked, placing her hands on her hip as she scolded them like kids."He lunged at me first!" Theo defended."He was being a jerk and wouldn't leave when I asked him to," Malcolm reiterated."Stop it,

"Young master, our flight back to the states leaves by 8pm tonight," Agatha called from the passenger's seat of the car.Chase made a non-committal sound at the back of his throat and looked out the window.It had been three days since he last spoke to Evelyn. He hadn't even seen her because each time he went back there, Malcolm would tell him she wasn't around and he wasn't in the mood to create any scene again. She was purposely avoiding him and it infuriated him to no end.The empress had sent for him to come back that day but he had one last meeting with a restaurant that was planning to collaborate with one of their pet businesses which was also a five star restaurant and his presence was required before the signing would be complete.He picked up his phone to see if Evelyn had responded to the last message he had sent her but it was still on delivered.Sighing softly, he tossed the phone to the side and thus caught Agatha's attention."Is everything okay, young master?" She aske
