Chapter 19
Evelyn arrived at Stone Corp early the next morning, her resolve firm but her nerves frayed because she was still very much anxious about working so closely with Derek.
She had spent the night tossing, turning, and dreading the month ahead, knowing that everything could go wrong with just one wrong move.
She was not only scared about him finding out about Samantha, but she was also scared about falling for him. She wasn't too arrogant to believe it was impossible. He was after all, the man who had given her the best sex of her life, and all these years whenever she pleasured herself, she fantasized about his touch even though she couldn't remember his face clearly.
Today marked the beginning of her project with him, and she was determined to maintain her professionalism, despite their complicated past.
As she approached his office, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door since Derek had given his secretary strict orders to always let her in whenever she arrived as long as he didn't have company. After she knocked, Derek's voice, smooth and confident, called out impatiently, "Come in."
Stepping inside, she found Derek seated behind his desk, his head buried over some documents with a slight frown on his face.
He raised his head to see who it was and when he saw her, his lips curved in a wide smile. "Good morning, Eve. I see you're ready for your first day," he said, his tone holding a hint of amusement. Evelyn scowled at his use of her name. "Obviously, Mr.
Stone, she replied, tersely and Derek chuckled.
"Seeing this side of you amuses me. You know, I would never have imagined this side to you if we didn't cross paths again this way. Back then you were so innocent yet bold and you made me believe you were..."
"Can we get started already? I'm not here to talk about the past," Evelyn cut in and Derek grinned as looked at her, clearly enjoying himself.
"Let's get started, then," Derek said as he gestured for her to take a seat.
"Please, have a seat. We will be spending a lot of time together, so let's make this as comfortable as possible," he said, deciding to start with an air of professionalism as she wanted even though he didn't have the intention of keeping things professional.
Evelyn sighed as she sat down, glad that they were taking things seriously. "Thanks."
