Evan's gaze hardened slightly and he slowly looked behind Vera, only to see Jane standing there with an ugly expression.“Oh my eyes. I thought this place was meant solely for shopping? When did it turn to a hypocritical show place?” She sneered coldly, her eyes eying Vera who was still in Evan's embrace.Evan's gaze never left her and one could see the amount of disgust they held towards her. He was about to leave but noticed Christel and Harry behind her.“What's going on?” Harry gasped. Christel's gaze fixed on Vera who's back was faced towards them, then she stared at Evan. She gazed coldly at him but didn't say a word.Evan noticed this then patted Vera's head lightly, “You can let go now, Vera,” He said.Vera frowned but still let go of him. She grumbled and was about to yell at the intruder when she suddenly paused and sized Jane up and down.“Who's this?” She frowned. She tilted her head sideways and was stunned by the beauty behind Jane.“Evan, do you know that lady over the
The both of them stepped out of the shopping mall then proceeded to return home.‘' The sky is dark already,” She frowned.She turned towards Evan and noticed that he was completely distracted. A thought crossed her mind and she quickly linked her hands around his.“What are you thinking about?” She beamed. Evan shook his head but didn't look at her, “Nothing,” “What do you mean nothing? Don't tell me you are thinking about her? Is she more beautiful than I am?” She pouted.Evan didn't say a word and instead kept moving.“Evan, you didn't answer me,”she frowned.“Your silence means she is,” She added.“The same,” He calmly replied.“What? I didn't hear that,” She frowned and leaned against him.“Who is beautiful between your ex wife and me?” She asked.“You,” He frowned. She scoffed and removed her hands from his.“I see that you still love her,” She said, slightly enraged by it. She sighed heavily then totally ignored him.Evan couldn't do anything about the situation and instead st
“Do you have any more excuses?” The man glared at the assistant.“I am sorry sir,” She bowed slightly then left to package the necklaceEvan frowned and then stared at Vera. He noticed that her gaze never left the necklace and he frowned and then kicked her shoes.'What?’ Vera glared at him. “Pay up,” He mouthed. He knows that she has more than $30,000 in her account but why she doesn't want to pay up is what baffles him.“What?!” Vera screamed frantically and all heads turned toward her direction, even Evan was stunned by her sudden outburst.‘ What's wrong with her?’ He frowned.“Ma'am, did something happen?” The assistant ran over worriedly.Vera pointed at Evan and then started crying, “I can't deal with him anymore. He is a cheat and now he wants me to pay up to $30,000. How can I afford that type of amount? He promised me that he would buy me jewelry in this shop and that was the reason I came here,”She held her chest then placed a hand on her forehead, “He made a fool out of
“What is going on here?” A cold voice resonated in the hall and everyone's gaze turned towards the place it came from. A tall broad-shouldered man stepped out from an office with quick strides. I brushed off the strands of hair from his face and then stared at the chaos before him.“Who's causing the noise here?” He boomed. The assistant quickly walked forward and bowed her head.“I am so sorry sir. I tried to stop them but-” She tried to explain but the man didn't allow her to finish the word.He flicked his fingers and she froze in place.“I didn't hire you to give me excuses. If this is how you take care of the shop when I am around how much worse would it be when I am absent?” He said in disapproval.“I am so sorry sir,” She said sincerely.The man shook his head and then lost interest in her. “Get ready to resign, that would be after I am done taking care of the mess before me,”He said coldly then walked past her. Surprisingly, she didn't try to stop him but instead went silen
The car came into an abrupt halt and silence fell inside the car. “What was that?” Vera asked with a tight frown on her face.“I don't know, please give me a few minutes to check it out,” William hurriedly replied, then stepped out of the car.Vera walked out after him and so did Evan. They both made their way to the front of the car and frowned when they saw William squatted in front of… Someone.“Goodness, get her inside the car quick!” Vera exclaimed and rushed over.“Be careful, please. Her legs are fractured,” William hurriedly said and then gently carried the young lady towards the car.Her long golden hair covered her bloody face and it was impossible to see who she was.Thank goodness there weren't too many people around, else it would have been a lot of headache trying to get out of the scene.“Take us to the nearest hospital,” Evan calmly ordered. “Yes sir,” William shakingly replied, then turned on the engine and stepped on the accelerator.“Please no!” But just as he was
“Fine, do your thing. I won't disturb you about it,” Vera said softly then turned and left him alone.Evan stood there for a while then returned to his room with an indifferent expression on his face.Vera has always been known for being compassionate to victims of slavery and no matter how hard Evan had tried to make her view things in the other way, she doesn't listen.It's good to help those who are victims of those local mafias but at the same time, what if everything was just a facade and they are trained spies sent to assassinate?Evan slowly flipped through the documents and signed them one after the other.And just like that time flew by in a flash and it was 8:30 am. A light knock sounded in Evan's study room and he closed the documents before him gently.“Come in,” He said and the knob turned slightly before the door opened and Claus walked in.“I have something important to show you,” Claus said, then placed the tablet he held on the table.Evan's gaze hardened slightly as
Evan picked a candle and lit it before the image in front of him. His eyes were desolate and lonely and it felt heartbreaking to look at them.‘Thank you, old man, without you, I don't know where I would have been by now,,’ He bowed and placed the candle on the vase In front of the mirror.He paid his last respects and then walked out of the room. Christel watched him for a while then placed her candle in the face and left the room too.“Do you want to join us at the party? It's the last goodbye to Grandpa so all the families are here and I don't think they will like it if you don't show up,” She said then paused and continued, “After all, you are still my husband,” Evan stopped in his tracks and slowly turned towards her with a cold expression on his face. Christel subconsciously moved back in fear and lowered her head in the process.Evan gazed at her coldly but didn't say a word, instead, he stared at the necklace he gave to her then sighed heavily and left the place.‘Damn it!’ C
A few minutes later a black Benz arrived in the southern sub ranch of Vertice Capital. Evan alighted from the car and stared at the building before him with a calm expression.“How stubborn can you be?” He sighed lightly and started to make his way to the building.“Welcome sir, please how may we help you?” The receptionist on duty asked the instant he walked inside the building.Evan stared at her then at her batch and nodded as he realized she was a new employee.“Is miss Vera here? I'll like to have a meeting with her,” He said and the lady nodded before she started to type on the computer.In other to find out who the culprit was among the employees, he has to first of all find out how his company was being managed by them.And the first step to that is the way they attent to their customers.“I am sorry sir. The name you asked of isn't registered in this company,” She replied, after searching for a few minutes.Evan nodded in understanding, then asked, “If that's the case, can I
