The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 48

A confused frown creased Derek's brows as he watched Evelyn leave, Wasn't she supposed to be feeling guilty both for exposing his secret and for concealing her and Michael's relationship from him?

Why was she making it seem as though he was the one at fault? And why was she still insisting she didn't discuss his personal matter with anyone! Was she really not the one!

Hemused and then narrowed his eyes. Thinking about what she had said about him getting his lawyer involved, he admitted to himself that unlike him. Evelyn had treated their arrangement with utmost professionalism, and judging from how professional she had been, it didn't make sense that she would have made public something he told her in confidence no matter how juicy the news seemed. Certainly not when she had signed an NDA with him.

Now that he thought about it, he remembered how empathetic she had been when he told her about it and how she had treated him better after that day.

Even if everything pointed at her, he just couldn't believe that she was behind it. Perhaps she was really innocent and he had accused her wrongly.

if Evelyn was innocent, who then could have revealed the news about him? And how did the person find out about it! Derek mused.

Was he missing something? What was it? He mused and then turned when he noticed he was no longer alone.

An involuntary scowl appeared on his face when he turned and saw that it was Michael who had joined him.

"You lied to me," he growled, feeling annoyed that Michael had deliberately kept the truth from him.

"I didn't lie," Michael said defensively, "I told you I knew her. I just didn't tell you the whole truth-

you hide something as important as this? Can you give me any good reason why you hid the truth this whole time?" Derek snapped at him, cutting him

uredly as his driver drove him back to the Hotel. He never would have imagined that after a passionate night with her which he had always dreamt of in the past six years, he would wake to having a misunderstanding with her and then

it was not a coincidence and it was all planned by her? He mused and then
