“What was that?” One of the customers in the mall gasped in shock as they stared at the direction the noise had come from. Vera's brow knitted slightly and she subconsciously held Evan’s arm and gazed ahead. Evan of course noticed this and stared at her before he gazed ahead again.“Should we leave and return another time?” Evan calmly asked and Vera shook her head profusely.“No, we can't! I already made a promise to Ezra that we will shop throughout the day with you,” She answered.“Is that what she wants?” He frowned and her eyes widened slightly.She went silent for a while and after much thinking_ she slowly let go of Evan's arm and glanced at Ezra.“Is that what you want? It's fine, though. We can come here another day,” She calmly said to Ezra who was a little lost by now. “Ah…” Ezra smiled, then shook her head. “In any choice you make… It's fine by me. I'll only stay back and make sure I don't get in the way,”“Come on! Don't say that!” Vera exclaimed and rushed towards her.
“You can't be serious, right?” Vera asked stunned by his behavior.The smile on Evan's face completely disappeared and he shot her a look. “Goodness,” She rolled her eyes at him and walked back to the chair.She grumbled but still picked up her spoon and continued eating.Ezra smiled on seeing how they interacted and the image Evan has always displayed in front of her since she woke up completely shattered.‘ I thought he was a cold man… but it looks like I've been wrong all along,’ She thought as she continued eating.“Where should we go after here?” Vera asked as she picked a flute glass to drink. Ezra's brow raised slightly on hearing this and she waited patiently for Evan to give a reply.But instead of a reply, what greeted her ears was silence. Confused, she slowly looked up and was stunned to see a pair of icy sharp eyes staring her way.“D-did I miss anything?” She stuttered nervously under his gaze. Vera noticed this and sighed heavily.There was no helping it!Ezra can on
“Oh my, is that true?”“If what the man is saying is the truth then that means all the products on their websites are fake!” “That can't be!” “What do you mean ‘ that can't be!’ Didn't you hear the news two days ago? Where a man almost died from eating an expired product?” One of them snapped.“I didn't, so what happened?”“This happened! It was from the same mall!” “Goodness! This is truly unacceptable!” …Evan listened silently to the whispers in the air as his eyes stared at the woman on the floor, then at the man who had a smug expression.“Today is hell for you. I won't let this go so easily!” The man said coldly, then squatted in front of the girl.“You have two choices right now. It's either you make a refund or get disgraced in front of everyone,” He said coldly as he gazed at the lady in front of him.“P-please,”. A meek voice replied after and one could hear the trembling in their voice.“What did you say? I can't hear you!” The man replied harshly.“Oi! Did you say the
"Yes?" Ezra's voice trailed off the instant she recognized who the voice belonged to."You did well, but next time make sure to understand the situation before you judge. At times, the customer might be right and the employee might be wrong," Evan calmly said to her and she nodded innocently."I will always learn from you master," She pressed her hands forward and bowed slightly."Stop doing that," Vera said and Evan rolled his eyes."You can call me Evan, instead of this master title," He said and her eyes widened slightly."Okay sir Evan," She replied joyfully."Only Evan," He sighed tiredly and Vera chuckled lightly."Okay, Evan," Ezra replied cautiously as though his name was fire and Vera couldn't take it anymore. She held her stomach as her laugh echoed on the first floor. ...After the dinner at the Mall, they decided to head back home and call it a day. The call pulled into Evan's house and Vera and Ezra stepped out of the car."Aren't you coming inside with us?" Vera asked
Evan's feet froze slightly as his ears perked up and his eyes stared at the stairs ahead. "Christel?" He called out and right at that moment the sound that came off the stairs ceased."She must be home," He sighed lightly and took out his phone as he felt a buzz from it earlier. Claus sent."Hmm," Evan gazed at the number that was sent along with the message and frowned slightly."Always meeting," He muttered and shoved the phone back into his pocket. He stared at the stairs in front of him and glanced at the house one last time.'Maybe it is because I haven't been here for long. It's probably the reason this feeling of ' vacant ' came into my mind, that was why I mistook the silence of no one being around,' He thought. "At least she should have closed the door," He sighed as he started to make his way to the door but right at that moment the sound of rushed footsteps sounded from the stairs. "Christel?" He called out but when his eyes landed on the person, a deep frown crossed hi
Time went by in a flash and soon it was morning. The melodious sounds of birds singing so early in the morning were the only lively sound heard in the morning. Evan gazed at his phone for the umpteenth time that morning and sighed heavily when he noticed that it was already past 8 am. " Sir, he will soon be here," William said cautiously."I know," Evan calmly replied."He's here sir," Claus's voice sounded ahead and soon the door opened. The sound of footsteps approaching sounded in the office and soon the people those footsteps belonged to appeared before them. Evan slowly looked up from the file he was going through as he stared at the presence in front of him. "Mister Evan, it is nice to finally meet you." A tall slender man with a smile on his face stood before Evan.His eyes were narrowed slightly and he had on a pair of glasses. Evan got off his office chair and handshake the hand stretched out to him."It is a pleasure, mister Damien," Evan calmly replied and in return sil
The warehouse was enormous, looking all grand and simple. Evan's gaze lingered on the warehouse building and then it landed on Damien who stood beside him, his hand in his pocket.Damien smiled at the view of the warehouse, very well convinced that Evan would bite the deal.Evan liked the idea, it was a great one but, he didn't know much about the land and he didn’t trust who he was buying it from - Damien. He also doesn't wish to invest in something in which he knows nothing to little things about. Evan bit his lower lips, rested his index finger on his cheek, and went into a very deep thought.After a few minutes of silence, Evan sighed.“Let me think about it and get back.”“Sure. No problem.”Damien nodded and brought out his hand for a handshake, Evan took it and they had a firm handshake. They both got into the car and exited the warehouse.~Evan still thought about it as he arrived at his workplace and made it to his office. Immediately he opened his office door and saw Mrs Be
"Damn it!" He cursed angrily as he quickly pulled to the sideways. Thank God his car didn't collide with that one. He shook his head and took out his phone to read the message that was sent to him again. "Damien..." He frowned slightly and took out his phone to call William. "Have you gotten anything so far?" He asked. "No sir," William replied.Evan nodded then shoved the phone back in his pocket. He went through his messages and stared at Damien's number.How did he know about Ezra? Evan frowned as the identity of Ezra became more complicated than it already looked.Who was she and why was she away that night? "The issue right now... is to find her," He thought and started to think of any possible location that she might be.Wait...."What if all this was a trap?" He frowned. As that thought crossed his mind. He quickly took out his phone and called Vera. The phone rang for a while before her voice came through and she sounded tired."Hello?""Is Ezra at home with you?" He a
