Chapter 218
As Derek and Evelyn drove home after leaving Ethan's place, Evelyn turned to Derek with a grin, "You know Friday is only a few days away, right?" "Yeah. Why?" Derek asked, acting like he didn't know.
"You haven't forgotten what it means, have you?" Evelyn asked, and Derek feigned a frown.
"What is it? Our anniversary?" He asked, and when she glared at him, he chuckled.
"It's the interview, I know. I'm ready for it," he said, and she smiled.
"We can go over the questions..."
"There won't be any need for that. I trust you. You can ask me whatever questions," he said, and she paused.
"You remember it's going to be a live television interview, right?" She asked, and he nodded.
"Yes. I know that," he assured her, "This interview made us cross paths and brought you back into my life. The least I can do is give it my best."
"Okay then," she said with a wide smile, looking forward to the interview.
Derek smiled, also looking forward to the interview.
On Friday, Derek arrived at The People's Times building some minutes before noon since the interview was scheduled for noon.
As Derek stepped out of his car, he straightened his tailored navy suit and adjusted the silver tie that Evelyn had chosen for him to wear that day. He took a deep breath, his confidence unshaken and his excitement undeniable.
As he entered the lobby of Evelyn's office, a young receptionist greeted him with a warm smile. "Mr. Stone, welcome to The People's Times. Ms. Evelyn will be with you shortly."
Because of his relationship with Evelyn and his frequent visits to the office to pick her up or drop her off, he had become a regular face there.
Before Derek could respond, Evelyn appeared from an adjacent hallway; her fitted burgundy dress and sleek bun radiating professionalism. Her face lit up with a welcoming smile as she approached him.
"Good morning, Mr. Stone," she greeted, extending her hand before he could embrace her as she knew he wanted to do.
