The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 196

Following Sandra's arrest, Evelyn took over Sandra's position and office at the company. As a result, she had

become even more busy than ever since resuming at her new office.

In the last couple of days, Derek had made a habit of making sure she had breakfast in the morning before

he dropped her of at work, and he also ensured that Lunch was delivered to her office so that she wouldn't have any excuse to skip meals.

As lunch break approached now, Evelyn glanced at the clock on her desk. She had asked the chef not to bring her lunch because she had other plans.

Seeing that it was noon, Evelyn grabbed her purse, straightened her blouse, and headed out of the office with a silly smile on her face as she imagined the surprise on Derek's face when she showed up asking that they have lunch together.

The cab ride to Derek's office was quick, still it felt like a very long journey as she couldn't wait to see him.

She hadn't visited him at work in a while. The last time

she had been to his office had been the day she revealed everything to him, and since then, she had been too busy to visit him at work.

As she got out of the cab in front of the company, she couldn't help the tremor of nervousness that passed through her.

Evelyn wasn't sure why she was having butterflies. Maybe it was the idea of seeing Derek in his element, surrounded by people who respected him so much.

Or perhaps it was the lingering weight of everything they had been through and how their reunion journey had started right here at the company.

As she walked into the building, she smiled to herself as she remembered how hard Derek had tried to

seduce her. It felt like such a long time.

When she reached the lobby of his office, the secretary flashed her a cheerful smile and greeted her warmly.

"Evelyn! It's been ages since you last stopped by," she said, her tone filled with genuine excitement. "I was starting to think you'd given up on that interview idea because of all the trouble."

Evelyn laughed, shaking her head. "No, not at al. That's actually why I'm here. I wanted to confirm we

could schedule the interview for next Friday."

The secretary's smile grew wider. "Oh, don't worry about that. Mr. Stone gave me strict instructions - he said to cancel anything he has on any day you choose. So fi you say next Friday, then next Friday it is."

Evelyn raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk on her lips.

"Did he really?"

"Absolutely, the Secretary said, nodding firmly.

"Well, thank you. Is he in his office?" Evelyn asked with a soft smile.
