Chapter 222 All the emotions she had been holding back crushing forward, sweeping away the last traces of her affection for Walter. This was the Walter she had falled to see until the moment.
She had always known, deep down, that she did not have a place in his heart. It was her own wishful thinking, her heart skipping a beat because he had taken a knife for her.
She finally got it: When it cto Walter, she had to guard her heart and shut down those feelings to protect herself, and she was determined to do just that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder Walter's intense stare, Evangeline forced herself to eat the breakfast David had picked up at the crack of dawn, bite by bite. Then, without a backward glance, she walked out of the Gordon Group's towering skyscraper. Walter, on the other hand, was in high spirits, a stark contrast to Evangeline's turmoil. The man who was usually a stickler for perfection at work had transformed into a charmer, all smiles even when a top executive goofed up big time, offering nothing but a grin and sfriendly advice to fix the error.
Cnoon, Walter was scheduled to seal a deal worth millions at the Maranini Grand Hotel in Avalon City, all thanks to David's meticulous planning.
The client was a bit of a character, shunning the quiet of private rooms for the bustling hotel lobby. Walter, ever the easygoing one, saw no issue with it. If the client was happy, so was he.
David had snagged a window seat away from the hustle, a spot just quiet enough to talk business without whispers turning into shouts.
Walter's reputation meant he never had to play nice-people were drawn to his influence like moths to a flame. Today's client was no exception. A quick chat, a few signatures, and the rest was just the dance of business banter and the clinking of glasses. 1/1 +25 BONUS: Chapter 22 Lucky for Walter, the client loved to chat, and their meeting was more of a lively banter than stiff negotiations, drinks flowing freely.
However, in the midst of their revelry, a man and a woman suddenly appeared, heading straight toward them. The guy was tall and lean, rocking a black casual outfit that screamed cool but did not hide the fact that he was someone important. The woman beside him was a vision, perfectly proportioned, in a white dress that was all kinds of stunning, with her long black hair cascadin It was Evangeline! Walter could not peel his eyes away from her. His boiling rage was drowned in liquor as he knocked back three drinks straight.
Evangeline was driving him nuts! He fumed over her morning excuse of being busy. If he had known she had the energy to sneak out for a date with srandom dude, he would not have gone easy on her last night. He should have kept going till the break of dawn, leaving her too wiped to even think abo Evangeline had just settled into her seat when she felt a sudden chill down her spine.
She brushed it off as her own paranoia and did not think much of it, instead urging Hank to sit quickly.
