Chapter 43

Eva and Lilian continued their day as if nothing happened.

Some of their clients cancelled their appointments, while others didn't bother to call at all and didn't show up, only a few of them showed up.

Lilian in her office was worried that it's because of the rumours their clients cancelled, and the reputation of the company might have been tarnished.

She was so angry at the person who started this rumours, but she doesn't know who the person is.

Eva was in her office busy with work, not faced with what was happening when her brother called.

"Big sis have did you see the news this morning? Are you alright?"

"Yeah I saw it and yes I am fine"

"Who do you think gave them that false information"

"I don't know"

"I'm only calling to check up on you anyways, I will call back later"

"No worries, I'm fine anyway. By the way, you can move in but there will be rules and regulations to follow"

"Thank you so much, sis, I love you, you won't regret it promise"

"You can move in over the weekend when I'm home"

"Ok sis"

After hanging up, she was about to continue her work, when Addy's call came in

"Hello" Addy's voice could be heard

"Hi" Eva replied calmly, trying to figure out if he was calling because of the news or something else.

"I heard the news, are you alright?" Addy asked with a concerned voice

"Yeah I'm fine" Eva was wondering if he believed those rumours

"The video has been deleted, I don't know who did, but it wasn't me" Eva continued

"Oh really, that good then," Addy replied as if he doesn't know who deleted the video either.

"I hope business is running as usual?" Addy asked

"Erm... not really most of our VIP clients have called to cancel their appointments, but I can't blame them" Eva replied sadly

"Oh really, I hope they will change their mind soon" He replied

"I have built this company with my sweat and inheritance money from my grandfather, and now a bitch claims I slept with men to run my company" you can hear a hint of anger and sadness in her voice. Her grandfather gave her money as her inheritance in his will when he died, while he gave others buildings, his company, cars and other properties he had. He knew if he gave her a building or any other assets, her parent would hijack it from her.

Although the money wasn't active until she was eighteen, she made sure she didn't lavish it on things that are not necessary and decides to spend it all on her business.

Addy was so angry because he could sense how sad she is and he thought to himself, he would personally handle the person in charge of the rumour.

"Let me know if there's anything you need me to do, I will come to your aid at any given time" Addy consoled her

After a few minutes more of conversation, they hang up.

Thirty minutes later, Lillian and Gary rushing into her office without knocking, with excitement on their faces

"Big sis, you won't believe it, everyone that has cancelled their appointments has been calling to rebook their appointments, some even gave referrals and now we have more bookings than before. What did you do?" Gary asked curiously.

"Really? How come? What did they say their reason was?" Eva was surprised, she was planning the strategies she can use to win back her customers when they both entered.

"They said, you are a good, hardworking boss lady and that they didn't believe the news anyways" Lillian replied.

"LOL, they didn't believe it, yet they cancelled, does that make sense to you?" Gary asked

"Well since they've rebooked their appointments and we've got more customers, it's a win-win case for us, don't you think" Lillian replied

Eva was lost in thoughts, she knows someone is definitely pulling some strings behind the closed curtains, she just doesn't know who the is.

"Well get back to work and keep me updated" She snapped out of her head, and instructed Lillian and Gary.

Later that afternoon, Eva received flowers and a bottle of expensive wine from Addy alongside a small note which says 'CHEER UP, I'M HERE FOR YOU'.

Eva was so touched and she just couldn't find any reason to hate him, because the more she kept telling herself to stay away from him, the more she finds herself falling deeply for him.

Her phone rang

"Hello, Miss" Wendy spoke. Wendy is her father's secretary

"Hi Wendy, how can I help you? What does he want?" Eva replied with a stern voice

"Your father said you should come to see him in his office tomorrow morning" Wendy replied

"Why?"

"I don't know Miss, you will have to find out when you see him yourself"

"Tell him I'm busy. I also have my business, if he wants to see me, he knows the way to my office"

"But Miss"

"Wendy, the reason I picked up this call is that I respect you so much, so please let it be. Bye" she hanged up

...

In the same city, City X

A tall middle-aged man with a built body and chiselled chin was sat behind a desk in his high rise office, with his glasses on his nose bridge, waiting patiently, looking towards the door.

A knock was heard as a slim figure, with her ponytail tied high.

"Sir, Ermm..." Wendy stammer

"Speak" Noah Williams with an authoritative voice spoke

"Ermm.. she said if you have anything to say to her, you should come to her office yourself"

"Insolent brat. You go back to your post, I will sort it out"

"Ok sir" She left the room.

He brought out his phone and dialled a number.

"Hello, is your son available tomorrow?"

"I don't know" His best friend since they were little replied

"I want him to meet Eva tomorrow"

"Ok, I will tell him to call you and give you his availability"

"No worries then"

He hanged up
