Lips quivering like the bamboo tree in the midst of a typhoon, Daniella found it hard to explain herself to Evan.
She gulped hard, speechless in her current situation.
"I..." she turned to Jenna with her eyes swelling in shock.
"James and I..." she cleared her throat after feeling a lump in her throat. She destroyed the car that Evan bought because of the article she read about Camille "no... I-" seeing his eyebrows creasing deeply, she swallowed hard.
Soon Evan's face brightened and a smile wide as the sky was plastered on his lips "I know " he said in a soothing voice, his hand on her head slightly tousled her already messed up hair.
Daniella blew up her cheeks, feeling her face burning with embarrassment, she bit her lips and nodded "ok" she answered and turned to Jenna.
"I haven't seen that man since that night so..." she paused "I will change my clothes and we can continue " saying that with a faint smile, Daniella turned and walked to the adjusted room and as she did a strange feeling of emptiness swayed her heart. Hearing her ex-boyfriend's name somehow made her mind fuzzy.
After closing the door Daniella sat on the bed, her face bore a perplexed expression, her hand slowly rose to touch her pounding chest 'what is this?' she asked herself.
Meanwhile.
In Evan's office
Glen quietly went closer to Evan and stood behind him, his face moved closer to his ear and whispered "I am perplexed, your girlfriend is the owner of Lumax?" his voice was low, making sure that only Evan could hear it.
Evan shrugged in response and turned to Kirby and Jenna's assistant "No one is to speak of what happened here " he sighed and shifted his eyes to Jenna.
"I guess I don't need to hear your offer " Jenna gave Evan a smile, a degrading one.
But Evan's face remained cold "I am still hoping for a fair decision Ms. Marcus."
Narrowing her eyes, Jenna stared at Evan "really?" the malicious smile was still on her lips "she's my boss Mr. Su and your girlfriend. She would do everything to get your favor, I know that since that's the same reason why she bought the Lumax."
A sudden pang of pain swept through Evan's heart "what do you mean?"
Jenna gave him a lopsided grin, "Daniella purchased the Lumax to get into her ex-boyfriend's circle and when they broke up she lost interest in it " she paused and adjusted the button of her suit, "my point is she'll give you the Lumax if that would make you stay that's why I said that I don't need to hear your offer " and she stretched out a hand, offering him a handshake.
Evan for the first time gave her a smile "I don't want the Lumax Ms. Marcus. I have a proposal, if you will hear me out you can ask your boss if she'd approve it."
"Approve what?" suddenly, Daniella's voice sounded as her body emerged from the bedroom in the office.
Jenna dropped a glance at Evan and later to the man behind him.
"If you had opened my emails and messages you would have known that I am planning to extend our business here " Jenna said and ran her eyes over Daniella's body. She's now wearing a tracksuit despite the hot temperature outside while her hair which was still wet has been tied up in a messy bun.
"what does it have to do with my boyfriend?"
"I have told this to Scott and Robert. I won't repeat myself so if you want to know, call your people" Jenna exclaimed widening her eyes at Daniella.
Blowing her cheeks, Daniella walked towards Evan's desk and grabbed the phone.
Jenna rose a brow, shocked that Daniella listened to her.
When the other line stopped from ringing , Daniella parted her lips "hi, I would like to order a double meat burger with fries " as she finished her order, Daniella took Evan's wallet from his coat hanging on the coat rack and pulled out his card.
"30 minutes ma'am " the other line answered when Daniella asked how long the delivery would be.
Creasing her eyebrows deeply, Daniella shouted "what 30 minutes?! , It will be faster for me to slay the cow myself and!" her eyes swelled when the man suddenly dropped the call.
With her nose wrinkling in anger, Daniella turned to Jenna, "what were you saying?" she asked slumping her body onto the chair, not minding the weird stares coming from Glen, Kirby and Jenna's assistant.
Meanwhile Jenna turned to Evan with a poker face "see that? That's the elegant smart boss I was talking about" shaking her head, Jenna walked closer to her assistant and ordered her to find a restaurant nearby.
"Let's talk outside Daniella we have lots to talk about."
With the face of a child refusing to go, Daniella held onto the armchair of Evan's swivel chair.
"You might want to consider getting a new girlfriend, this one is no good, I don't recommend her." Said Jenna to Evan.
Evan smiled but not for her, he walked towards Daniella and bent his body with his hands on her hands "where did you go last night?"
Daniella pressed her lips together unknowingly exposing the dimples on her cheeks "just here and there" she anxiously replied while avoiding his eyes.
Evan was about to ask more when his phone suddenly rang and when he didn't answer it redirected to his voicemail which was on speaker causing everyone in the room to hear the message.
It was from Ken and he sounded furious.
"Evan that stupid woman set me up and dropped me like a garbage in front of my house! I am going to kill her!"
A quick silence came before Ken spoke again and this time his voice sounded firmer "I am on the way to your office now. Ugh! That woman! I am going to crush her five feet body with my bare hands."
And when the voicemail ended Daniella immediately got up and walked towards the door.
"Let's go Jenna. We have a cow to slay" as she grabbed Jenna's wrist Daniella winked at Evan and waved a hand at Glen "I will visit Danny next week " she yelled and dragged Jenna out of the office towards the elevator while the employees on the floor sitting behind their desk were wondering when did she get into their boss office.
