Chapter 126
Evelyn sat in the backseat of the cab, a wide smile spreading across her face as she gazed out the window, replaying the events of the previous night in her mind.
After leaving Sandra passed out with Michael, Derek had whisked her and Rayna away to a different lounge for drinks. The memory of the night brought a sense of satisfaction. She was glad that they had outsmarted Michael and Sandra, and they now had enough evidence to expose Michael and Sandra's schemes.
She let out a soft chuckle, remembering how shocked Sandra had looked when she told her she switched their drinks before she passed out cold.
Her thoughts were interrupted when her phone buzzed, pulling her from her reverie. When she saw Derek's name flashed on the screen, she answered quickly, still smiling. "Hey," she greeted cheerfully, even though they had spoken earlier that morning when he called to say good morning to Samantha.

"That's quite a stretch, don't you think?" She asked, still laughing.
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and if I say you're the most beautiful woman in the world, then you are to me. I don't care what anyone else thinks about it. Not even you," he said, and she laughed, though his words made her feel warm.
"Noted. What are you up to? Have you gotten to the office yet?" She asked with interest.
"Yeah. I walked in a moment ago. What are you up to now?"
"I just dropped Samantha off at school. I'm heading back home now. I'm going to wait until the realtor calls me, then I'll step out to continue the house hunting," she said, and Derek nodded.
"Good," Derek responded, his voice calm but focused. "If I have the time, I will join you. Also, I got an interesting call from the receptionist at the hotel"
