The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 77

Derek by on his bed, his eyes glued to his phone, as thoughts of Evelyn clouded his mind.

After sending her a good morning text earlier, he had been hoping to get a call from her to at least scold him for sending her a text or maybe to say she liked it even though he knew that was unlikely to happen.

Seeing as the day was far gone and he hadn't heard from her, he contemplated calling her to ask if she liked it so he could hear her voice even if was for a second,

After contemplating for a while, he smiled when an idea hit him. He could call under the pretense of wanting to find out what had happened between her friend, Rayan, and Ethan. Without wasting any more time he dialed Evelyn's line.

Evelyn, who was alone in the house after her stepmother left, since Maya and Samantha were not back from the park yet, was lying on her bed thinking about Derek when his call came in.

Her lips curved in a smile when she saw the call, but she rolled her eyes as she received it, "Hello, Mr. Stone," she said, not because she felt like addressing him formally, but because she wanted to get a rise out of him.

"Ah! I see we are back to the formalities, Derek said, and she stuck her tongue in her check.

"What do you want?" She asked in a cool tone

"Are you going to give me what I want if I tell you? I want you naked on my bed and writhing under me with your..."

"Stop" she said, shutting her eyes to block out the picture that his words had painted.

Derek chuckled, "You asked what I wanted," he said, rising from his bed to walk around his room.

"Did you get my text

my text this morning! I'm sure you did. Why didn't I get a response?" He asked, and Evelyn sighed.

"You know why you didn't get a response. I've told you before. If it isn't a work related conversation, I don't want.. "Why are you so damn stubborn, Eve?" Derek asked with mock frustration

"I should be asking you that," she retorted.

"Well, that's not why I called," Derek said, changing the subject, and she raised a brow.

"So, why did you call? Is it about the interview!" She asked with undisguised curiosity.

"Ethan told me what transpired between him and your friend at the club last night. It was a misunderstanding.."

"Ethan' The jerk she talked about was your best friend?" Evelyn asked in disbelief

"Ethan isn't a jerk. I can assure you that Ethan would never touch anyone inappropriately. He was pretty upset..."

"And so was Rayna. He could have just been a gentleman instead of saying mean words to her." Evelyn said, and Derek shook his head.
