Married To An Old Billionaire, In Love With His Son

Liam’s POV

I sat down in my office; going through the files Eve’s sent me earlier. I did that blearily because I was so bored and tired although we have just returned from recess earlier.

I dropped the files and pen to have some rest then continue later instead I was stealing glances at Eve.. who was busy typing something.

I smiled; then I remembered last night, what made me think of Eve while I was lying to Clara that I have found someone better… Of course, Eve is by far better that Clara.

Recalling why called me, made the sweet smile on my face switched into a frown.

“I don’t ever want to have anything with her even if she apologises one million times” I hissed.

She broke my heart and didn’t even bother to check up on me. And when she called last night, I actually thought that she already had a change of mind or something, only for her to tell me that she is inviting me her wedding party. What a joke!

I tried to cast my mind away from Clara; as I focus more on Eve. That hardworking girl… I like her; her sincerity, her joviality, her concern.. all this attributes possessed by someone going through a-thick-and-tough.. Plus she is so beautiful.

I don’t know what she was looking at on the screen but she smiled as she was typing. Damn!

I guess the only way I can stop her from being close with my father is by making her to spend less time at home.

I continued to watch Eve, I didn’t know when I stood up.. worked towards the wall and continue smiling like a fool. I remember her funny way she speaks and the way she laughs too. I feel like I needed her around every now and then. I’mma definitely gonna make her come to my place again.

George, Daisy and Maria came to her office… she stood up and embraced them including that George; I notice that they are pretty close in the office too. For some unreason I groan angrily. I didn’t hear what they were talking about but I could see that Eve was smiling widely at them ~ at George.

I decided to walk out and send them off because it’s work time not time for gisting… Luckily for them, they left before I could leave my office. I shrugged and continued gazing at Eve who has stopped whatever she was typing… as she packed up her things and arranged her desk.

Soon, I saw her working towards my office. I ran back and sat on my mesh chair.. Opened and turn on my laptop as if I was engrossed with work or something.

She knocked on my door and I cleared my troat and told her to come in… which she did.

“Are you still working?” She asked me.

“As you can see” I told her.

“But it’s closing hour” She said.

“Closing hour?” I exclaimed and looked at my wristwatch. “Time flies” I said.

I didn’t know I spent all my time watching Eve.

“So are you not leaving?” She asked.

“I am… I didn’t know it was closing hour” I added, switching off my laptop.. as I carried my briefcase and walked to her.

“You are coming with me today” I told her as we walked out of my office.

“No, you are coming with me instead” She said.

“Huh! Eve I have no intentions of coming home anytime soon” I told her.

“I am going to the boutique, won’t you come with me?” She asked.

“Ohh” I mouthed.

“Sure I will… But I would take you there with my car” I offered and she agreed.

****

“I’m paying for all” I said when we entered the big boutique.

“What? your father gave me a credit card; I don’t know how much is in there though but if you pay for whatever item I pick… It means you are literally saving your father’s money” I told him.

“I don’t care. I just wanna pay for anything you buy here” I insisted and she looked at me and mumbled;

“Jeez I shouldn’t have told you to follow me”

A walked through the first section where they sold bodycon gowns

“Buy this” I told Eve.

“Does it look cooperate at all?” She asked me.

“Oh you are here to get cooperate dresses?” I asked and she nodded. ; “Well this gown is not a cooperate one but  I know it would so good on you” I told her then I noticed that her cheek redden.

I picked up the gown then we moved on and on to other sections; she bought some lovely cooperate wears and I also made sure that she picked whatever dress I would love to see on her.

She went into the dressing room to change into the outfits, while I waited for her and told her how she looks on all. I have good sense of fashion, for both male and female probably because I had a fashion conscious ex girlfriend, Clara.

Speaking of Clara, she walked into the boutique just when I was waiting for Eve to come out.. She just went inside again to put on the last dress.

I stared at Clara as spoke to a lady that works here.. She didn’t come inside the boutique alone; she came in with a guy whom I presume is the fiance she left me for. One ugly guy.

“Is my wedding gown ready?” She asked the lady who worked here.

“Yes ma’am I’ll go get it now” The lady bowl before her and she left quickly.

Just when I decided to ignore Clara and act as if I didn’t notice her presence… She saw me.

“Liam” The way she usually call my name.

Then she walked towards me with that guy beside her.

“Do you know him?” The guy asked her.

“Yeah… he is my…” She looked at me first then continued; “he is my ex boyfriend, the one you spoke to; the other night” Clara told him.

“Oh lame right..?” That ugly guy said as he stretched his hand to have a handshake with me.

“It’s Liam not lame” I said brusquely, then look down to his hand… It made him, remove his hand slowly as he was embarrassed.

“Liam, this is Richard; my fiance” She said, she really had the gut to introduce me to the ugly guy she left me for.

I didn’t say anything… Just then, Eve came out of the dressing room with the lovely short red gown I picked for her.

“Isn’t it so beautiful?” She turned around for me before she realised their presence.

“Oh” She mouthed when she recognised Clara.

“Come darling” I told Eve, and she was glaring at me like (what’s that darling all about?).. yet she came over and I placed my hand over her neck.

“Yes the gown is so lovely and it fit you perfectly.. Oh My God! You are so beautiful babe” I complimented Eve and kissed her on lips..

She was stood there; stiff and glaring bluntly at me then I whispered “Please Cooperate With Me” so she won’t get the wrong idea.

“I can see that you have moved on quickly” Clara said..” With your secretary” she added.

“Oh yes and she is the best thing that would even happen to me” I said.. drawing Eve closer to me.

“We are done right?” I asked her and she nodded slowly yet speechlessly.

“Let’s go then” I said, leaving Clara and her fiance but I made sure that I stepped on that guy’s foot who yelped “Ouch”

I didn’t look back because I could sense that they were still watching us… I whispered to Eve not to look at the back also.

Until we got to where my car was packed, I opened the door to let her go in first before entering.

Then I drove away.

Eve’s POV

We didn’t say anything throughout the ride. There was a lot on my mind and my heart won’t stopped racing. Liam kissed me!

“I am… sorry about that” Liam finally broke the silence, yeah he knew what I was thinking but I just nodded.

“I just had to do something to make her jealous because that guy next to her is her Fiance” He said but I didn’t still say anything.

“Looks like it didn’t still work out. She has completely locked her heart for me because of that ugly wretch” He continue to talk but I still didn’t say anything.

I touched my lips..

“Wait!” He suddenly halted the car.

“Did I steal your first kiss?” He asked me.. I blinked severally… Yeah! It was my first kiss but that’s not the matter, I thought I had only little feelings for you but he literally made increased my feelings for him.

I wish I could tell him that; instead I looked at him and muttered slowly;   “Just drive Liam”

“Hmmmn.. Okay” He started the engine and continue driving.
