Chapter 8

Eve's POV

    The next day, I put on the red bodycon gown that I bought earlier when I went to the supermarket, it matched well with the medium heels that I usually wear to the office.  I also put on make-up and brushed up my eyelashes. Oh My God! I knew I was looking differently and stunning maybe because it's not my usual kind of dressing.

    I admired myself through the mirror, I looked so gorgeous, and the bodycon gown revealed a perfect shape that I didn't know I had.

    I smiled to myself, hung my small bag on my shoulder, and walked out of my room only to meet Mark on the way.

   "Whao Eve, I love your outfit" Mark complimented.

    "Thank you" I smiled cheerfully then allowed him to climb down the stairs then I went after him.

"Is that you Eve?" Helen said as she came out of the kitchen "Your driver is here" She announced even before raising her head to look at me.

    "Oh My God" Her mouth dropped.

  "Don't flatter me. I am already flattered" I said.

  "Where did you get this beautiful dress? It's not close to cheap at all" She exclaimed.

  "Uhm..I... I kinda bought it" I told her... And she went around me; admiring the dress.

 "You are looking so beautiful Eve, wait are you wearing make-up?" She suspected...

 "Just a little blush" I told her.

 "Oh Eve, that guy is gonna drop dead when he sees you at the office today" Helen said.

    "Shii" I shushed her immediately. Although Mr. Maya was not here, Mark heard her and he giggled.

  "It's Mark, he is not gonna tell his father. Every one of us here wants the best for you, not that old fool" She whispered into my ears and I smiled.

  "Did you say Andrew is here?" I asked her.

    "Yeah, he came a few minutes ago"

    "Oh, then I gotta go" I said but she obstructed my way.

 "Why are you in a rush? you haven't even had breakfast" She said.

    "Ohh... I have to go now Helen" I said, looking at my hand, I've forgotten I only had bangles on.

  "Look at the wall clock... You still have some minutes" She insisted I waited.

 "Helen is right. Besides Liam is the managing director and he is never gonna scold you for coming to work late" Mark added and I sighed softly. I actually wanna rush down to the office because I can't wait to see Liam.

  "Mr. Maya won't wake up till the next two hours. You don't have to worry, he won't catch you" Helen whispered as she pushed me gently to the dining table then she made me sit down.

Anyways, I didn't complain anymore, she served me a sandwich and juice... I ate gently yet hastily. Immediately I was done, I bid only Mark and Robert then I sneaked out of the house before Helen would find out and might even have something to hold me back.

    **

    I got to the office, all eyes were on me. Yeah, I got a lot of sweet compliments from my colleagues even George and the rest then they persuaded me to get into my office quickly because Liam is around and he already asked after me. They thought it was work stuff or maybe I must have stepped on his nerves. Little did they know what was going on with us.

     "Hey, love" Liam was sitting in my office.

  "Uhm Good morning" I told him...feeling sort of shy.

 He stood up and came closer to me. He accessed my dressing just as I expected. I blushed and then turned around for him.

 "My Oh My!" He exclaimed as wrapped his hands over my waist.

"No Liam, just compliment me. Someone might just walk in" I said removing his hand off my waist.

  "I'm not denying anything if we get caught" He said wrapping his hands around my waist again as he pulled me closer to him. "Words can't express how beautiful you are Eve. Oops! beautiful is an understatement" He flattered me and my cheeks redden.

   "You have a nice taste in outfits, you chose this dress for me do you remember? and you are looking bad yourself" I complimented him too and he smiled.

  There was still no distance between us, yeah we remained in that intimate position. I can even perceive his mint fragrance and smell his sweet breath and hear his steady heartbeat.

    Since he was taller than me, I raised my head up to stare into those lovely eyes of his and he was looking down to glance into mine. I placed my fingers on his cheeks, fondled with it a little before standing on my toes to kiss him. It was a brief kiss or more of a peck on his mushy lips.

    "See who is afraid of being caught" Liam smiled and I giggled then disengaged from him.

 "We need to get to work now Liam" I said moving to my seat.

   "Work or me?" He folded his hand and obstructed me.

    "Work" I blurted, hiding my smile then I passed by his side to my seat.

 "Oh" He mouthed... I looked away and switched on my computer~ pretending to be serious and engrossed. But he leaned on the table and faced me properly.

    "We are having a lunch date today" He said and I smiled.

    "Uhmmmn... Okay" I responded 

 He held my neck seductively and tucked my both sides hairs all to the back of my ears. Then he crouched forward and kissed me on my forehead then he murmured; " I love you" My cheeks reddened again. Liam is so romantic and loves really hard but I think I love him more.

    I smiled and watched him return to his office... Immediately opened the door, I called his name and showed him the heart symbol with my fingers. He did the same before going in.

    My face flickered but I started to work, I just wanted to finish up already, so that I could go to his office as usual..but when I was almost done with what I had to do; Liam came out of his office...I looked at him with a 'what's it?' expression. He only smirked and began to walk toward me. I bit my lips slowly wondering what he was up to this time. He made me stand up from my seat then he gently pushed me to his office.

   "All works but no play makes us dull" Liam said as he shut the door.

    "I'm not dull" I rolled my eyes.

  "Oh bored. I'm bored" He said intertwining his fingers with mine. He moved really close to me and ended up resting my back on the wall... "Let's go out now" He said.

 "It's not even lunch break yet" I told him; releasing my hands from him so that I can move freely. But he turned and stood in front of me again.

    "Who says I'm waiting for a lunch break?" He said; "C'mon Eve, it's our first lunch date and we are not going to the office restaurant. I know a new Chinese restaurant that we can try out." He said.

 "And I can't wait; probably because it's my first time on a date" I told him.

  "You haven't been on a date? " He asked and I nodded gently. "Am I your first boyfriend?" He looked surprised.

    "I'm Twenty" I told him.

 "Doesn't matter" He said... "Wait! You are twenty?"

    "Don't you know?" I glared at him.

  "I...sort of, you know..you uhm don't look it. I know you are young though" He stuttered and I frowned.

  "I know you are twenty-six. Am I too young for you then?" I asked him in a moue

"Oh no no," He said as he swept my hair with his hand.... "You are too young for him. You see, that's why we are meant to be together" He said and I smiled.

    "So shall we?" He proposed making a curve with his hand.

 "I'll only intertwin my arm with yours when we are in the elevator" I said, adjusting his tie and he pouted his lips... I chuckled.
