Chapter 14 Evelyn shut her eyes for a second, maybe it is her weird imagination that is playing tricks on her. When she opens her eyes, he is still there. He is sitting on her couch, in her living room gazing at her with an innocent look. What the heck is Jayden Freaking Turner doing in her house? "Are you done admiring my handsome face? Now, greet me now."His deep voice snaps her out of her train of thoughts. She throws a deadly glare at her."Greet, my foot. What are you doing in my house, Mr Jayden?" "Why are you always rude?"He asks her. She folds her arms over her chest, trying not to let her towel fall on the ground."Save that question for another day. Answer my question, first." She watches as he gets up from where he was sitting down, his blue eyes glancing around her living room. Her brows snap together, she detests how he is behaving like a creep. She hates it more that he is in her house. "Who gave you the address to my house?"She questions him, after a few minutes of silence. "Don't tell me that you've forgotten that you're my secretary. Oh, you are a dummy. Sorry." "What are you doing here?"She asks her. He drops a tote bag on the couch, she just noticed that he was holding something. He shoves his hand inside his pocket, gazing at her."I hope you've forgotten that we have a business dinner date tonight." She takes a deep breath."I still remember." "I came here to give you the dress I bought for you, so that you can wear it for the date,"He says. She lifts her shoulder in a half shrug."I told you yesterday that you shouldn't bother yourself. I have a lot of dresses that I could wear for - " "But, I want you to wear the gown I bought for you. It's more stylish and suitable for a business dinner date." She started."I - " He glances at his wristwatch for a brief moment, then faces her."Wear the dress. I want to see you in the office in a few minutes." He stared at her for the last time and left her house. A line appeared between her brows. What could be wrong with her boss? He came to her house, just to drop a dress for her. He can choose to send his driver or one of his numerous employees. But, he chose to come over by himself. Is that madness or what? * All eyes are fixed on Evelyn when she arrives in the company. On a normal day, people always stare at her because of her beauty and her good aura. Today's event is so different, it all starts with stares, then murmurs and then it results in nice compliments about her and her gorgeous dress. Other people complimented her while others didn't compliment her, they just stared at her in envy. The reason for the compliments and stares isn't far fetched. It's because of the dress she is putting on. The dress Jayden bought for her. It is a white gown; an average length gown. It clings tightly to her body, exposing her hourglass figure. Evelyn pairs the gown with a heel. She applied a slight makeup on her face, yet she still looks beautiful. Imagine when a lady looks beautiful, hot and decent at the same time, that is how Evelyn looks right now. Evelyn already senses that the dress will be expensive, it is the latest design in town by a popular fashion designer. She wonders why Jayden bought such an expensive dress for her, just because of a simple business date. Or, did he buy the dress just to apologize for being a pain in the ass? Evelyn shrugs off the last thought, knowing that Jayden is selfish and arrogant, he will never apologize for his bad behavior towards her. Evelyn heaves a sigh of relief when Jayden's personal assistant informs her that Jayden is not around, he went to a family meeting in the morning. She is happy that there won't be no one to order her around anymore or annoy her. She does her tasks of printing some documents in peace. Deep down in her mind, she misses hearing his voice, calling her every minute. She hates that another part of her misses him. Time flies. Soon, it was closing hours yet Jayden didn't come to work. "Are you missing him already?"A familiar voice jolts her out of my thoughts. Evelyn looks up. It is her friend, Marina. "What are you talking about?"She feigns ignorance. Marina winks at her."Stop acting like you don't miss our Mr Jayden." She shrugs."I don't miss anybody, except my boyfriend. Why will I miss Mr Jayden? He is nothing but my boss." Marina beams a knowing smile."I see. So, who bought you this beautiful dress?" Evelyn frowns."I bought it by myself."She lies. She knows that her friend won't stop teasing her about Jayden if she tells her the truth. "Liar. My boyfriend tried to buy this dress but the store said it was taken by the one and only Jayden Turner." Evelyn raises her head in defense. She has been caught already. "I give up. Mr Jayden bought it for me, because of a business dinner date."She rambles, emphasizing on the business dinner date. "Evelyn, you - " "Keep quiet. Let's go home."She snaps at her friend. *** Jayden Turner alights from his car, resting on his back on it. He brings out his phone and texts his secretary. Him: I know you're a dummy, but hope you haven't forgotten about the dinner date. Come outside now. Her reply came five minutes later. Her: Damn! Thought the date was canceled or something. Give me a few minutes, anyway. Him: I want you outside in a few minutes. Her: Must be authoritative and rude? What is your problem? Him: Shut up, dumb head. Jayden drops the phone inside his car, waiting for her. He didn't come to the company today because of the boring family meeting. They were just disturbing him about having a girlfriend and he detests when people pry into his personal life. He is not interested in a relationship just now. He just wants to focus on the family's business. There is no lady in his head right now. Well, except his sassy secretary. It's nothing serious but these days, he always thinks about her; about ways to get on her nerves. He is not scared to admit that he likes her bluntness and seriousness. He even has another thing to like about her now. She is Independent. Her family is rich, still she doesn't depend on her family's wealth. That is rare and yet, another thing to like about her. "What is on your mind, Mr Jayden?" He looks up. His eyes go wide open as he stares at the angel standing in front of him. She packs her hair in a ponytail, leaving some curls. Her eyes shine, despite the darkness. His eyes flicker to her plump and rosy lips. How can someone be so gorgeous? A corner of her mouth curls up."I got you speechless, right?"
