Chapter 11

ERIC'S POV

"Yes come in." I said

I raised my head to look at the beauty before me. She looks incredibly hot in the bodycon dress she wore because it fits her perfectly revealing all her curves.

She had become more beautiful over the years. She was not the type that applies heavy makeup... She was still the same old Omotara Banks, my Eve.

Her voice jolts me from my thoughts. That voice, how I had missed the voice. I wished I could hold her tight in my arms but if wishes were horse. So I decided to maintain the formal relationship.

"Good morning Mr Olaosebikan," She greeted

"Good morning Eve," I replied with some smiles

"Oh Mr Olaosebikan, I guess you are missing something," She said

"What can that be?" I asked though I already knew what is it

"Is Miss Banks not Eve," She said with some boldness

"Okay Miss Banks." I finally said, though I was hurt but I had to hide it

As soon as she handed me the contract, Anabelle barged into my office...

"Why did she have to barge in today of all time." I thought to myself

Anabelle was the lady betrothed to me by my father. She is the daughter of the famous senator, Sen. Nwankwo.

Sen. Nwankwo and my dad had been best of friends since childhood. So they decided to hook us up together so as to continue their friendship, but I did not love Anabelle one bit.

I had even told her several times but she wouldn't listen because she was obsessed with me.

Anabelle is beautiful and curvy but not as my Eve coupled with the fact that she was a rich spoilt brat.

Immediately she entered into my office, she displayed her jealous girl attitude. From the way she greeted, looked and smiled at Tara all smelled jealousy.

You see I could distinguished from real and fake smiles because I had dealt with a lot of ladies in the past.

Tara didn't even wait for me to reply her when she left my office. Am very sure she would be very heartbroken by now... I wonder what she will think about me now???

TARA'S POV

(At the reception)

"Good bye Miss," I said to the secretary

"Ok ma, take care of yourself." She said

(Inside the Car)

"Babe how was it?" Alex asked

"It was okay," I said still not smiling

"But you don't look cheerful, hope you are okay?" He asked with concern laced in his voice

"Yes Alex, I just had a slight headache," I lied again

"Okay dear." He finally said

(30 minutes later; in front of my apartment)

"Alex thanks for today, I really appreciate it," I said after alighting from the car

"It okay dear, anything for you remember," He said smiling

"Okay dear, I guess I would be able to mange myself from here," I said

"Okay dear, have enough rest and take care of yourself," He said with concern

"Okay have heard you. Drive safely...Bye." I finally said

"Okay Angel... Bye." He said while driving off

Immediately I entered into my apartment, I let out the tears have been holding since I was in the car.

I can't believe this is happening to me. I cried more and more because I was so heartbroken.... Some men are literally scum.

I ripped off the necklace on my neck and destroyed it because I was so sad and angry. I was angry at myself because I believed him and wasted seven good years of my life believing a promise that didn't meant anything to him.

I picked my phone that was ringing and couldn't say anything .....

"Babes how far......,"

"Omotara are you there?"

"Omotara talk to me,"

"Cass...an...dra ple...ase....co...me...to...my...ap...art...ment...now." I finally said amidst sobs.

I was still crying when Cassandra arrived at my apartment. I hugged her immediately she entered and continue crying...

"Tara what happen to you?, it was Alex that called me that you are not okay after you left the company," She asked curiously

"Cassandra I saw him, he already had a fiancee not even a girlfriend," I said still sobbing

"Who did you saw?" She asked

"I saw Eric... He is the CEO of the company," I said

"Am so sorry love. I understand how you feel," She said with sympathy

"Cas am so heartbroken...so sad... I felt like my world is coming to an end. Cassandra, he cheated on me... He didn't value the promise, our love," I said crying more

"It okay baby... I know how you feel. Stop crying my love." She pets me while I buried my head on her chest.
