Chapter 21
A week later. Evelyn felt like half of her burdens had lifted after she finally moved out of the hotel and into her apartment.
The past week at work with Derek had been surprisingly drama-free and pleasantly uneventful, so much so that she was still finding it hard to believe considering how he had made her believe he was going to be flirting and seducing her throughout the duration of their arrangement.
Judging by the way everything was going smoothly and how she had yet to run into Michael for the past week, she was beginning to think that Lady Luck was on her side, and she could only hope that it would remain that way for the remaining three weeks of the arrangement.
Arriving at the office. Evelyn's brows pulled together when she entered the office and saw that Derek was nowhere in sight but his coat hung on the coat hanger letting her know he had come to work. Deciding to confirm with his secretary, she went out to ask and when the secretary told her he stepped out a while ago without mentioning where he was headed, Evelyn decided to go get his coffee before he returned.
She was surprised when she approached the coffee kitchen and saw Derek coming out from there, carrying two coffee cups in hand
"Good morning, Eve. How are you?" he asked and Evelyn resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
Even though he had been on his best behavior, he had kept referring to her as Eve and now, she was no longer bothered by it.

"I have been expecting you. I figured I get us both coffee today seeing how you were running late," he said, handing her a cup.
"Is this your way of scolding me for being late?" She asked, amused as she reached to take the cup from him.
As Derek handed her the cup, he smiled at her, "No. I am not scolding you. There are better ways to do that. Besides, you've not been a bad girl," he said with a wink, making her heart skip a beat. Thank you," she muttered as she looked away from him, her heart racing.
"You're welcome always, Eve. Let's head back to the office." he said and she nodded as she followed him back to his office, neither of them saying a
