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.

433Please respect copyright.PENANAkQA1iT0VFP
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..
433Please respect copyright.PENANAphDREoVSMa
433Please respect copyright.PENANAuce71TtWZP
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAy7L7WuIeqs

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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAmtcsAo7ORt

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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAxWu8roy3uA

"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. 433Please respect copyright.PENANA6oee75MXGx

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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAUb13peNTSw

"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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAUqbOajx8J2

"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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAkfx2R1HHgs

She saw his true self then, understood why he was nicknamed The Great White Shark. His eyes were set on her, and he will get her. He remained like that, staring into her eyes when the door opened. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAu65M0KmHhy

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. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAjPOyMJt07L

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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAXANPywdkcX

Her voice came out quite. But she could feel it unveiling in her chest, the anger. Frustration. Betrayal. Grief. Everything aimed at the man in front of her. The man whom she loved. Or did she? She was unsure about it now.433Please respect copyright.PENANA3JWdSQ6mHt
