Eva House is looking for a husband, wrong, she is looking for a CEO. One that can take charge of her family company. She will make him wealthy, she will make him famous in the Country, but he has to marry her for a year, and he has to make the company a successful one. "Do you agree with the terms, Mr. Keilan Druon?" "I only have a condition," the handsome man in front answered. "Which one," she said without minding at all. "We need to have a child." "What?" "Take it or leave it," he was already moving up. "Okay!"
"Come home right now, Eva!"
The voice of the phone came from a middle-aged woman. Her tone and way of speaking would make anyone frown and think the worst.
So different from the woman holding the phone. A beautiful lady in a red evening dress, with amazing blue eyes.
She was tapping her high heel on the ground, waiting for the old lady to stop talking.
"Who in their right mind would go back to that house?" Eva thought and smirked.
The voice on the phone continued its terrible rant, but Eva just dismissed her words as white noise.
She sighed after a while and tucked her black hair behind her ear. She didn't know, but that simple movement caused the surrounding people to look at her, inspecting her body with lustful eyes.
Who can look away from the woman wearing such a seductive dress? The thin straps around her shoulders created tempting fantasies in the minds of men. Just the thought of freeing her beautiful body from that dress made them salivate outside the club. They all waited for her to finish speaking to that hateful old woman to approach her.
"Come to the mansion, Eva, or...!"
The scream was so loud that Eva had to move the phone away from her ear to avoid hurting herself.
The crowd gasped in surprise. Who would dare yell at such an exquisite girl? Instead, they should take care of her tenderly to see her smile.
"Or what?" Eva responded, with a vicious glint.
Eva's melodious and clear voice sounded like magical music to the ears of any listener. "I won't go, if you want so much to associate with that disgusting man, then you marry him."
"You!" The woman yelled again, but after a long breath, she decided to change her strategy to a kinder tone of voice. "Eva, honey, please come back, okay? You know your father doesn't have much left..."
"Shut up," Eva ordered, not caring of giving any respect to that hateful woman, even though she was her aunt. "Never mention my father with that dirty mouth!"
She knew that her father's condition was serious. He had collapsed a few weeks ago and was hospitalized for a heart attack. Doctors did not know if he would live to see the end of the year.
However, the woman on the phone, Eva's aunt, was already dividing up his property as her own.
Even the company that her father created and managed for so long, was about to fall into the hands of her aunt, Sonia.
"Honey, you know you don't have a choice," the woman on the phone sounded calm, but deep down Eva knew she was smiling and mocking her. "Mr. Vane will take good care of you and your brother, he will even pay for your father's hospital expenses, you just have to marry him and sign the transfer of shares. He will help you manage the company and the rest of the properties. You don't know how to manage the company, dear. Would you like to see your father's work wasted?"
Eva gripped the phone tightly, nearly breaking it. She knew that the woman was right. She didn't want her father's hard work to fall apart. It was true; she didn't know how to manage the company, as she was never close to her father.
Even if she tried, the members of the stockholders' council wouldn't take her seriously. And her brother was too young to take over the company. Nobody would support him.
"Eva?" a voice from behind distracted her.
She was in that club for a reason, to save her father, her brother and the company from disaster.
"I'm not going," she told the woman on the phone, and before another scream could come, she hung up. "Come on, Mina."
She looked at the beautiful woman in a tight black dress in front of her and walked towards the club's entrance.
They were about to join an exclusive party where only members of high society can enter. Namely, the richest people in Reykon City.
"Are you sure about this, Eva?"
"Yes", Eva seemed sure of her choice, but deep inside she wasn't. The thump of her heart didn't let her focus completely.
Her hands were shaking, and she looked a little pale.
Mina was afraid that her dear friend would faint at any moment. She had the feeling of not wanting to let her go.
Anything could go wrong if Eva got nervous. If she made a comment to upset one of those big shots, it could all end in disaster.
"You can hold my hand if you want," Mina said with a loving and gentle expression of a friend who wasn't trying to ridicule her best friend, even though her eyes said otherwise. "One step after another, remember, if you fall into the hands of a handsome man, you cannot refuse him. I repeat, you cannot refuse him. However, only if he is handsome and chivalrous enough... otherwise, run and don't let him catch you, do you understand, Eva?"
"Tch... handsome enough, are you crazy?" Eva wasn't coveting a cute boy, she wasn't that shallow. She was after something more valuable, more important. Money.
He has to be someone who not only values ​​his beautiful face, but can also earn a good amount of money on his own. Not some second generation scumbag who only knows how to depend on his parents' money to survive, but he had to be a second generation scumbag who can work and knows how to make money on his own.
However, Eva's purpose was not to attract these men. She wanted to meet those who worked under them.
Those who know the ins and outs of the work, the companies, and business clients, but don't have enough money to start or run their own business. The so-called Personal Assistants, the expert executives. Yes, she needed an executive to run her father's company, a CEO-in-training.
"Are you sure he's coming?" Eva asked, biting her lip.
"Yes, I'm sure," Mina told her. A friend of a friend told her that the most powerful Personal Assistant of a CEO in the Tech Industry was coming to the party.
Her friend told her that the amazing assistant went to high school with this strange computer science and math prodigy who later started his own company. However, the assistant didn't pursue any career but followed the CEO of a large corporation, LFE Co CEO Keilan Druon.
"What's his name again?" Eva asked with fear on her lips.
"Robin Lu", Mina smiled as she said the name. "What a funny name, I remember meeting someone with the same name in high school, but... he had a different last name. I made fun of him for so long..." she sighed ending in a smile, "I hope he doesn't remember me if we meet again, or it will be bad for me."
"You are impossible..." Eva was ashamed of such a friend. She knew Mina used to tease the ones she liked till they succumb to her tricks.
"Oh, here we are," Mina and Eva dressed as Queens of the Night in elegant and expensive clothes. Of course, they should attract attention, but without showing other disastrous intentions. They had to seduce a man with their rich lady poses first.
The guards at the gate looked at the two women with curious eyes. They inspected their clothes and appearance to see if they should ask for an invitation or not. If they insulted the wrong person, it would be terrible for them.
"Can we come in now?" Mina said in an arrogant tone as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
The men looked at each other again and nodded, then opened the doors to let the two beautiful women inside.
They could not deny their entry. Such outstanding beauties had to be within that high-class group no matter what.
The two girls entered the large doors and looked around while keeping their noses up. Their slow steps resembled a supermodel runway, and could easily pass like one.
Many eyes were evaluating them from top to bottom. Some with lust, others with jealousy, and many others with appreciative glances.
"So... where should we go?
"Patience honey, he will show up", Mina took out her phone, "my friend will call me to tell me the room".
"Room?"
"He's staying at this hotel, didn't I tell you?"
She didn't know, but her eyes captured his attention from the beginning. She didn't know, but her sweet smile almost made him stop breathing. She didn't know that she had been his fascination from the first moment he saw her. She didn't know and left him in despair. Thea Lark, a hard-working girl looking to retrieve everything that was stolen from her. She was prepared for a long battle alone, but... unexpectedly the one that she didn't think would help her, became her most powerful strength. "From when did you like me?" Thea asked the handsome man resting on her lap. "I don't know," he dared to say, making her frown, "but..." he smirked, "I do know that you kept making me jealous when that bastard James Riot gave you that flower." "Wait, but that was when we first met, we were seven years old." "I know."
