A bead of sweat rolled down her temple and to her jaw. Eve quickly rubbed her jaws on her shoulder, without jiggling the cake she was working on.

271Please respect copyright.PENANAjXt4mbwVT0
Her client, Avery Erickson was an artist herself and sketched the cake for Eve and genuinely, Eve appreciated the girl for lessening her workload but the design was a pain in the ass, with intricate sugar paste flowers and edible beads..
271Please respect copyright.PENANAhhDSgZJkiW
271Please respect copyright.PENANAtTTjH0Tlea
Eve straightened her back after pushing in another flower into the cake. She groaned as her back popped and in the back of her mind, Eve decided to hit back at the gym. She's so awfully out of shape.271Please respect copyright.PENANAd2D9gIcA9v

Eve pressed her lips into a thin line and walked out of the room and went straight to the small office. It's where she met with clients. She made a face at the mess. Crumbled papers littered the polished wooden floor. The wastebasket in the corner was filled to the brim with papers and her table was a disaster.271Please respect copyright.PENANAOisf1iXxc9

271Please respect copyright.PENANASBAFJ467EB

271Please respect copyright.PENANASCLgpVJzUj
The door opened and a young man walked in. He maybe in his thirties, with thick black hair and bright green eyes. He had a huge grin plastered on his face and automatically, a small smile appeared on her face. She like pleasant clients, but the smile dropped into a frown when she saw who walked in after him.271Please respect copyright.PENANAOhMSqiY76j
271Please respect copyright.PENANAOcxu8tXlHa
271Please respect copyright.PENANAbZYGJljQam

"Ah, Mr. Williams, please take a seat", her eyes flew over to Adam, who was still staring at her, with his hands pushed into the pockets of his black slacks. The first few buttons of his blue shirt was undone and she saw a black ink peeking out. 271Please respect copyright.PENANAjcabhfmFy3

She managed to say the words, moving over to sit down on her chair, facing Jason who was already seated. He was surveying her office room and heat rushed to her cheeks when she saw his lips quirk up, obviously noticing the mess.271Please respect copyright.PENANA4i4kQpSk6N

Eve cleared her throat. "My mum used to say that", she mumbled, more to herself. Her eyes lifted and Adam's eyes trailed down, lingering at the opal locket of her chain. Eve thought she saw the start of a smile but it disappeared as soon as it came and his face was once again stoic.271Please respect copyright.PENANA59VNUWQKWi

"I know enough", his eyes were on her hand that was now around the locket and her stomach knotted uncomfortably. No one else other than Sam knew about the locket. Not even Daniel, even though he questioned her about it. But the look that crossed over Adam's face...it was like he knew what was inside the locket and how much it meant to her.271Please respect copyright.PENANAAGzXV9vntl

"You have got another client waiting", she said, eyes drifting over to where Adam was seated. He was still staring at her, with a blank expression. Susan must have sensed the tension in the room and shot her a concerning look. Eve licked her dry lips.271Please respect copyright.PENANABtz7HfD4sd

Susan nodded, not even recognizing the name she said and walked out of the room. To her relief, Adam stood up but he leaned over the table, hands flat on the table until she could feel his hot breath on her face. Damn his height!271Please respect copyright.PENANAQzik4zKRXM

Unfazed, Adam straightened up and she breathed out in relief but it was short lived as her eyes fell upon the person who was standing by the door. Daniel frowned at Adam's back and his eyes widened when the latter turned on his heels. Adam didn't even glanced at Daniel as he walked towards the door but stopped by the threshold, looking over his shoulder. "I will see you tomorrow Genevieve" and he was gone. 271Please respect copyright.PENANAa8k29TyF0m

Unmistakable anger shone through his face. "Like hell it's not my business!", his fist collided with the table. The tremor rocked the contents and her bottle toppled over, rolling down to the floor.271Please respect copyright.PENANAmfbyuQHHPh
