The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Evelyn stared blankly at the document on her computer screen, trying to focus on work to no avail.

She had too many thoughts running through her mind at the same time, and the most frustrating of all was the fact that she missed Derek despite all that was happening.

No matter how many times she tried to talk some sense to herself and remind herself of all the reasons why she couldn't be with Derek, nothing seemed to work

Her thoughts kept drifting to Derek and all the different ways he tried to seduce her and challenge her into making decisions she wished she never did.

The way he'd hold her gaze with his intense blue eyes, and let their fingers brush ever so lightly. Most especially she remembered how he had made love to her a few days ago and made her forget everything else.

She couldn't deny the strong force of attraction between them, even though she knew it was all a very bad and dangerous idea.

"Too much is going on. Evie, you shouldn't be thinking about him," Evelyn told herself with a sigh as she pushed her seat back and stood up.

She walked over to the window hoping the view would distract her and help her clear her mind. She needed to focus on her work, not on Derek or the complicated feelings she had for him. There was too much at stake, and she couldn't risk them for some silly infatuation.

She didn't know how long she stood there until she heard the buzz of her phone on the desk and she walked over to pick it up and see who was calling

She felt a pang of guilt when she checked the caller ID and saw it was Margaret, her friend and neighbor back in Husla.

She had missed several calls from Maggie in the weeks since she arrived, and each time she told herself she would call back but she never did.

Taking a deep breath, Evelyn received the call, "Hello, Maggie, It's been a while!" Evelyn greeted cheerfully as she settled back in her chair.

"That's because you've not been taking my calls or returning them, Maggie pointed out.
