“yeah for sure, “ Rose replied with a smile
Eva bid goodbye to them and left the mansion the moment she arrived near the car. It widened her eyes to see so many guards who were sitting in another car and were waiting for her to start.
She inquired the chauffeur, who opened the car door further
“Who are these people?”
"Mam, they are security guards appointed for your safety."
“But I don’t need this many safety measures .“
Tell your boss that I don’t need them."
“ You do," Stephen’s impersonal voice startled her
Eva turned around and encountered Stephen standing at a distance from her, dipped his hands in his pants pockets and he was glaring at Eva
“I have arranged more security for you, and you are not going out without them. And for the answer to your query, you need to, because I have just got an important deal from some strong competitors. They are quite influential people. I am scared that they will try to harm my family, so this arrangement is mandatory for you.”
“But I am not your family, so why will they harm me?”
“Did you forget about the gossip carried out in the media about us, So in their words, you are my most precious possession for the outer world so of course you are in much more danger than us .“
“But I am not comfortable with all
"Okay, then you can stay at home; the option is very clear whether to stay at home or if you want to go out, then this security is more than compulsory."
Eva was getting annoyed by the way he was ordering around her. Stephen could read her face, which is showing how frustrated she is with this information
“And one more important thing from now onwards, I am going to drop you off at your class and pick you up too, and if I don’t reach on time, Steve or dad will pick you up."
This news made Eva dumbstruck, as she was trying to avoid Stephen around her, too. Whereas he is not letting go of any chance to stay near her.
Chapter 36: Permisssion
Eva didn’t argue more with Stephen. And quietly got settled in his car. She was sure that it was only a matter of a few days after she would leave with her father, and she promised herself that she would never return to LA in her life.
Stephen kept staring at her expression. She was looking adorable in the white shirt and pink skirt. The shirt was full-sleeved, and the skirt was reaching her knees. He continuously observed how she seemed lost in deep thoughts, as if talking to herself in her mind.
It engrossed Eva in her thoughts when she realized Stephen was staring at her. His instant gaze made her conscious of her appearance and cursed herself for choosing this outfit for the day. She slowly tried to pull her skirt a little down when she heard a chuckle. She looked at Stephen, who was giving a smile at her. Eva gave a puzzled look at him.
Stephen noticed how she was stretching her skirt, and he knew the reason for her actions very well. Of course, afterknowing about his interest in her, it’s natural for her to feel uncomfortable around him. But what she doesn’t know is that Stephen is more interested in winning her heart first rather than claiming her body. Somehow he found her every action cute and naïve, so he couldn’t hold more and chuckled the moment Eva heard the sound; she gave a confused look at him. And Stephen loved the adorable puzzled look of hers. Still, he doesn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable, so he just diverted his gaze to the other side.
Soon the ride ended, and the moment the car stopped, Eva almost jumped from the car. But the next moment she heard Stephen’s impersonal voice
“Take care, and remember someone will pick you up, ok?"
Eva just gave a nod at him and left from there.
Soon she reached inside the classroom, and her bodyguard got settled outside the class. Soon Eva got settled beside Jacey and started chatting about the topics that she missed in those days.
Soon the class got started, and Jacey helped Eva with the missed points. in the lunchtime, Eva noticed Harry was not present in the class, so she asked Jacey about him
“Well, we have not seen him for many days. I think I last saw him attending the class on your birthday. And yes, one morething he asked me about you so I told him about your birthday party invitation. “
Eva felt bad as she must have invited him too, but she has to drop the idea of inviting him because of the business rivalry between Hudson and Smith
"Ooh, ok, but why is he absent today?”
