The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 156

Chapter 156

Evelyn sat at her desk, glancing at the clock for the fifth time in ten minutes. It was finally Friday, and she had managed to avoid interacting closely with Sandra for the last two days since their exchange in the parking lot.

Having the bodyguard Derek promised made her feel a little safer, but knowing Sandra was lurking around, pretending to be innocent, still sent chills down her spine.

Evelyn sighed and gathered her things. She had promised Rayna they'd go shopping today, and it was an excellent excuse to leave work early. After everything that had happened, some time with her best friend sounded perfect. Besides, they both needed to find outfits for the high school reunion the next day.

She sent Rayna a quick text to say she was on her way and walked out of the office to her car where her bodyguard sat, waiting.

Evelyn couldn't help but feel odd about having a bodyguard - it was as though her life had turned into some thriller movie. But with everything happening with Sandra, she was grateful Derek had insisted on it.

By the time she got to the mall, Rayna was waiting for her at the entrance with a big smile on her face as usual, but Evelyn could tell something was off.

"Hey, you okay?" Evelyn asked as soon as they hugged.

"Sure," Rayna said as they entered the brightly lit mall, "So, where is the card?" Rayna asked with forced enthusiasm.

Evelyn laughed as she brought out the card which Derek had given her and flashed it at Rayna, "He said we can buy as much as we want and not just for the reunion."

"How does it feel to be with such a wealthy guy? I know you're not with him for money, but there are people who get love but not money, and there are people who get love and money with not-so-good-looking guys, but you got the complete package. How does it feel?" Rayna asked, and Evelyn giggled.

"It feels wonderful" she admitted.

"I bet it does" Rayna said as they walked into one of their favorite stores, a boutique filled with stylish dresses perfect for the reunion.
