Gage threw his head back and laughed.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg3bAXnlZQ
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZTVQQwNTT
The sound of his laugh was just so sexy; it was so pleasing to Eva’s ears that it sparked tingles in her auditory canals and sent delicious shivers down her back. Not only did the man cook yummy food, but even his laugh sounded so mouth-watering! My god…this guy’s really too good to be real, isn’t he?!188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7t2yZDSVA
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLl05D5MuU
Surreptitiously peeking at him through lowered lashes, Eva realized how amused he looked. Then, her eyes just subconsciously fell on his thin, sinuous lips.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3TKANoH83
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzoUSZuRui
A faint blush crept through Eva’s cheeks, so she quickly averted her eyes and just blurted out inwardly, ‘Damn this man to hell! Why does he have to look this handsome? I should be negotiating with him right now, not admiring his handsomeness like he’s some Greek god! Get a hold of yourself, Eva!’188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUtX22KnST

“Hmm…what if I am indeed a male witch, pet?” he said as soon as he stopped laughing. He rested his head on his knuckles again as he stared at her, one sexy eyebrow lifting. “What are you going to do about it?”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtWwX9NlEb
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwLEcsRHAE
Eva winced at the realization of what she had just blurted out. Her face reddened again as she wished that the floor would just open up beneath her and swallow her whole! ‘Dammit!! Why the hell did I even say that out loud? What’s going on with me embarrassing myself like this? This devil is really making me humiliate myself in front of him, and he’s even got the cheek to enjoy it! And right in my face, too!’188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdGTjsOfGv
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFqVFOnVx0
Though she could feel the heat radiating off her cheeks, she bravely lifted her eyes to look at him, trying to keep her face as straight as possible, pretending as though she had not said anything embarrassing at all.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzvs9Kan76
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngE8i0qqf6
Clearing her throat, she spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. “Well, if you’re indeed a male witch, I’d like you to help me find my phone. I can’t remember where I left it.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQE8EWIDB0
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoftwZS84x
“Ah, yes. Your phone.” He casually slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out said phone before handing it to her. “I took it along with me when I saw it sitting on the bar just before we left. I noticed it was in front of you when you left it there. I simply forgot to hand it over to you, what with everything that's been happening.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz2pa0xj9x
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnpTT3Yjir
Eva took the phone back from him hesitantly, a little worried that he would pull a trick on her. Then, she immediately flipped it open to give it a quick check.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwKOsQYGRP
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelexl5XyGJ
It immediately started ringing. Notifications for messages continued chiming one after another, telling her and Gage that there were tons of messages that had come in while her phone was turned off. Eva was surprised, as she had not expected any calls or texts to be coming for her. Then, her ringtone sounded. Looking down at her phone screen, she saw that it was her secretary calling.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfaLa5mheC
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uYHs3YI4X
Eva stared at it for a few seconds, then looked at Gage and politely excused herself. “Sorry, I need to pick this up.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTkJIdpUcM
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyNGXjP9zM
“Go on,” Gage replied casually.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MREImbCQ6
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1DFHK4DGm
Eva walked to a corner of the kitchen and swiped across her phone. “Yes, May? What is –” but before she could finish her sentence, her secretary cut her off on the other end.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYituaWquje

“Oh, my god, ma’am! You’re finally answering your phone! Where are you? Did you see the news? The commotion it stirred up on the internet is fantastic!” May did not give her any time to respond and blurted out everything at once, sounding so relieved that she had finally managed to get to her boss.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSBlFH8FSp
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94m5nXfIKU
Eva frowned at herself. What commotion was her secretary referring to? “Slow down. What do you mean by commotion? My phone was turned off the whole time, so I have yet to check the news.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W6sjrtHiw
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoBdaCf7c1
The secretary exclaimed. “My god! Boss!! I’m talking about your announcement! You made the announcement last night that you have officially stepped down as CEO, effective immediately."188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2aeBp8BlY
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpkucMUVfr
Eva’s eyes widened, her secretary’s voice still ringing in her ears. All the anger that she'd felt yesterday until last night was coming back like tidal waves. “I never made any announcement.” She hissed. Her tone was cold and sharp, sounding like blades that would draw blood from whomever it was directed toward. “I didn’t step down! They…”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5pSr3Qrft
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9nZ5u0RI8
“I know, Boss. But now rumours are already spreading that the real reason you submitted your resignation is because you have been found guilty of fraud and misconduct! My god! I’m not sure of what to do anymore, ma’am! My phone is ringing off the hook from the reporters that are trying to get an inside scoop on this. Where are you? Please tell me. I can come get you.”188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWT2Fr1pRk
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGUVQX1Hka
Eva’s grip on her phone tightened until her knuckles turned white. What? Fraud? Misconduct?!188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4a8JjDRfl
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9F4kkTXBZ
She ended the call without answering and quickly browsed through the messages in her phone inbox, skimming through all the texts asking her if the rumours were all true. Her fingers started to shake.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5YVP09M1
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2eKS5OcHg
Her phone rang again, but this time she did not bother to answer it. Her shaking just became more violent until the phone fell from her grip.1234 copyright protection184ＰＥＮＡＮＡArEIWBId4a 尼
