The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Evelyn leaned back against the bar stool, swaying her body to the pulsing bass of the club's music, which was thrumming through her as she watched Rayna, who was casually sipping her cocktail. "You know what I've been thinking since I saw you and Derek earlier?" Rayna asked as she set down her glass.

"Am I supposed to know?" Evelyn asked, amused by the mischievous glint she could see in Rayna's eyes.

"I'm thinking that if things don't work out between ET and me, I'm just going to drive out there recklessly and bang the first guy my car crashes into," she said with a grin, and Evelyn laughed out loud. "And if it's a married man?" Evelyn joked.

"Well, I'll bash the next car I see until I get lucky," she said, and Evelyn laughed

"Have you considered the fact that you could run into a serial rapist or killer?"Evelyn asked as she raised her drink to her lips.

"I'll take my chances like you took yours. Imagine how you snagged the best man in one moment of recklessness," Rayna said, and Evelyn laughed.

Before Evelyn could respond, her phone buzzed in her purse. When she took it out and glanced at the screen, she saw Derek's name flashing. She smiled as she showed Rayna the screen. "Hey, D," she answered and grinned when Rayna mimicked her.

"It seems like you were right," Derek's voice came through.

Evelyn raised a brow. "Right about what?"

"I just confirmed that Michael booked the suite for them both, and from what I can gather, Sandra's meeting him first. I'm not sure he knows that Sandra invited you over," Derek said, and Evelyn paused, letting the words sink in. "Sandra's playing him?" Evelyn asked, her brow furrowed in thought.

"I think it's something like that. Keep your guard up," Derek warned.

Evelyn nodded to herself. "Thanks for letting me know.

I'll handle things on my end."

After hanging up, Evelyn turned to Rayna, who was staring at her with curious eyes. "Sandra's running her own game," Evelyn said, and she told Rayna what Derek had just told her. Rayna raised an eyebrow, swirling the ice in her glass. "I wonder what she's up to this time."

Evelyn rolled her eyes and took a long sip of her drink.

"Honestly, I don't care. Let's just enjoy the night until she shows up. The less I think about her, the better."
