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.

434Please respect copyright.PENANAK1tW4TV4NI
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..
434Please respect copyright.PENANArTo7oo4gCP
434Please respect copyright.PENANAad3nutyRn3
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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAK1lJW06YRI

434Please respect copyright.PENANAAsf5FNcEHx
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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAB2E1SN2YPr

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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ1nswaQik

"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. 434Please respect copyright.PENANAURMI2CXaYz

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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAZEADhg2izA

"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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAQtP38jDKGz

"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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAUxRzHIE3kk

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. 434Please respect copyright.PENANAuGY34PuSyI
