Melting Moments

Qualifications

Eva is staying in this Junior Stevens mansion for about 7 days. In these 7 days she has understood that life is extremely boring here. Maids come here once a week, they change decoration of mansion and fix up the garden. And checks whether there's anything to fix . Washes the whole kitchen. Copper spends good amount of time in kitchen. Although the kitchen is always clean,still the maids clean this like everything sparkles.

Whatever according to the maids they are not allowed to annoy Master Stevens. He doesn't like any presence of people near him. So they works silently as much as they can. It's really hard to complete all these in just one day.

And this Copper Stevens is a mysterious character for Eva. Amazingly Eva has already discovered him to leave home in late night. Copper doesn't give any importance to Eva's presence. He avoids Eva even if they sometimes crosses ways in kitchen or drawing room. Although Copper cooks a lot of dishes,he never offers anything to Eva. What Eva knows that pizza ,canned foods and ramen have become her main food. She badly misses her sister who used to cook for her. She is tired of these foods,but still can't find alternative to eat anything. Just to receive home delivery she has to go outside as delivery men are not allowed to come inside or at the gate of this mansion. Eva feels lazy to do so. She actually likes homemade foods and unfortunately his cooking skill is so much horrible. May be he should ask Jennie to send some frozen foods for her. She sighs while breaking an egg inside hot noodles bowl. She is tired of staying here.

"Nice to meet you,Mr McBride," Eva doesn't know why he is feeling happy watching Mr Stevens's assistant. Eva really likes to talk a lot and absence of people has increased her quest for talking even with a stranger.

"Nice to meet you,Mrs Stevens. Hope you are not having any difficulty to live here," Matt  smiles while maintaining formality.

What are they aware of not is Copper is observing them from upstairs. He comes to downstairs while making loud sound which makes both Eva and Matt to stop conversation and feeling awkward.

"What's now,Matt? What's his message?" Copper sits on the sofa while crossing his legs.

"Mr Stevens has sent an dinner invitation tonight in occasion of your post-marriage celebration in honour of Eveline Stevens," Kai replies.

"Only for this? I don't think so. Honour or whatever, just escort Eva to Stevens mansion whenever Grandfather wants. If you have any message ,then left it," Copper says in his usual arrogant voice.

"You must have to attend. Mr Stevens wants to talk face to face with both of you."

What Eva knows that right now Copper and his grandfather both are playing mind game sitting on the dinner table.

"Do you want some caviare,Mrs Stevens?" As butler asks Eva watching her almost empty plate.

"Oh yes," Eva happily mixes caviar with fried rice in plate. The chef of this main Stevens mansion is really so good. She is not interested about grandfather-grandson's cold minded game,but about foods. This two are literally fighting while not caring about foods.

Copper continues to talk in arrogant voice with Mr Stevens," Am I not working my best as CFO? Still you have kept me as additional CFO. My qualifications don't match with your main CFO's qualifications . I won't work under him."

"What you do is just confined to papers,you never applied them in working field. Practical work is totally different. You are an Oxford university graduate that doesn't mean you are superior. You have to work on field. I should have employed you as just an employee of my company. You have started thinking yourself too high," Mr Stevens shouts back in same tone.

Eva was almost choking on the delicious meat hearing Copper is a Harvard university graduate. Is he really? Eva looks at Copper with corner of his eyes. Whatever he is still an arrogant brat who talks without manner with his grandfather. Eva becomes busy with foods while keeping hearing their arguments like enjoyable talk show until suddenly Mr Stevens calls her name.

"Eveline,I am gonna give you an honourable position among the advisor of our company administration. You are gonna attend the meeting of council tomorrow. Whether Copper wants to attend or not ,you must have to attend."

"Hmmm??..... Me?.... Advisor? Actually I don't have idea what to do as an advisor ......" Eva can't understand what Mr Stevens is talking.

" Is that even a position? That's a task that even a dumb can do," Copper mumbles while cutting slices of meat from his beef steak.

"It depends on person actually. You can be an asset for corporation ,if you tries to learn the calculation by observing others. You don't have to take stress, Eveline. You are gonna attend the central meeting of council as part of Park family. It's upto you whether you want to get attention by suddenly revealing yourself to central meeting of council,  You can have better qualifications,but to survive in this field of game you have to gain support from others. Without support of others you can never be successful CEO of Stevens corporation in future," Mr Stevens says while taking last sips from his wine glass.
