Chapter 14
After Claire had left, Evelyn sat by her bedroom window, a cup of coffee in hand, still contemplating the best possible course of action for her situation. Samantha played quietly with her toys on the bed, her laughter a comforting background melody to Evelyn's scattered thoughts.
As she sipped from her coffee, lost in thoughts, her phone buzzed, jolting her from her reverie.
She checked the caller ID and her heart skipped a beat when she saw it was Susan. Evelyn took a deep breath before receiving the call.
"Good morning, Ma'am," she greeted trying to sound composed even though she was far from it.
Evelyn's brows drew together in a frown when she heard Susan's happy laugh on the other end of the phone.
"Good morning, Evelyn! How are you? I knew you were indeed the best person for this task," Susan said, her voice resonating with joy.
Confused, Evelyn frowned and asked, "Is everything okay? Did something happen?"
"Of course, something happened and it's thanks to you," Susan said again and Evelyn's frown deepened.
"Me?"
"Yes. In just a day you got Derek Stone to agree to the interview. Isn't that worth celebrating? A feat that so many others couldn't accomplish, yet you did it! I'm so proud of you, Evelyn," Susan said triumphantly and Evelyn's heart skipped a beat.
"What? He agreed? How?" Evelyn asked even though a part of her already knew it was because of their history.
"I should be asking you that. What did you do? What did you say to him?" Susan asked, still sounding very excited.
"What did he say?" Evelyn asked, trying to figure out what was going on and what Derek was thinking.
"Well, he said he would do it, but he gave a condition.
Something pretty simple if you ask me," Susan said, and Evelyn frowned.
"A condition? What kind of condition?"
