The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 58

The next day, Derek walked into his office earlier than usual, his mind set on one thing- installing a security camera in his office.

Seeing how Michael had been so interested in knowing why he thought Evelyn wasn't the culprit, he could tell that Michael was thinking he had not seen the bug he planted in his office yet.

He had a feeling that now that Michael had gotten what he wanted and had succeeded in getting Evelyn away from him, Michael would soon retum to remove the bug in order to get rid of evidence of foul play. He couldn't let that happen. He needed proof. A definitive proof that Michael was the one behind the scandal. One he can present to his parents and wouldn't have to explain further for them to understand. His chat with Michael the previous night had given him enough reasons to agree with Evelyn that Michael and Sandra were up to something and if he could show his parents proof of Michael's treachery, they would get the whole picture.

The moment he got in, he temporarily deactivated the bug in his office and no sooner had he settled down before the man he had contacted for the job arrived. They got to work and Derek ensured that the camera was hidden away from view and angled to capture his office perfectly.

As he took a seat behind his desk, having accomplished his mission, Derek's mind drifted to Evelyn and he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Over the past few weeks, he had grown used to her presence in his office- The way she scowled and glared at him whenever he said something inappropriate, the way she hid her smiles when he said or did something amusing, the sound of her voice whenever they discussed, the way she occasionally glanced up at him with those intense green eyes that spoke volumes without saying a word, her smile and how she'd try to keep him off her.

Derek found himself missing all of that now. He missed her so much and was determined to handle Michael as fast as possible so he could have Evelyn back to his side where she belonged. He wondered if she was at the office and and if she was thinking about him and missed working with

him too.

He needed to talk to someone. He wished his best friend, Ethan, who was around. Ethan, who was a sailor was away in the sea, and he had no idea when he would be back. Taking a deep breath, Derek forced himself to focus on work, but just as he turned on his system, his office door burst open.
