“Actually, I just had a breakup with my boyfriend last week. But that jerk was not ready to leave me, so I just told a lie to him. I have moved on and am now dating some other man who is much better than him. Still, he was not ready to believe me, so one of my friends knew Robinson as you saw what kind of handsome hulk he is. I offered him he should act as a boyfriend for me., and I will pay for his help."
“And then?"
"Nothing; my ex-boyfriend saw me with him, and from that day on he didn’t irritate me. I am so peaceful now. Trust me, my ex has become a pain in the ass. He even behaved like a possessive jerk. Thank God I could breathe in peace now.
It surprised Eva to hear all this. She felt bad for Angie, who has to go through so much she could relate with her condition as Stephen smith is also becoming a reason of distress in her life
But the next moment, something clicked in Eva’s tiny brain
“How much did you pay him? “
“I paid him well. But why are you asking this?”
“No, actually my friend is also going through the same situation as you, so will he help her as he helped you? And don’t worry, she could pay the amount whatever he asks for."
“Well then, of course, he will be more than ready to help. You know he is still struggling for work, so it'll be a tremendous help for him too."
“Ooh! That’s great. Can you please give me his contact number? And yours too, as I will love to talk to you sometimes. I mean, if you don’t mind."
“Yes, of course I will love to hang out with you sometimes.”
Soon Angie and Eva exchanged their numbers and again started enjoying her food
A few minutes later, Eva’s eyes spotted Harry, who had just entered the living room. Jacey rushed towards him and hugged him
Eva passed a smile to Harry, but Harry just gave her a sharp look at her for a fraction of a second. Eva wanted to finish her dinner fast and reach Harry, so she quickly started gulping her food, but after her dinner she searched for Harry, but to her dismay, she didn’t spot him anywhere in the party
So at last she asked Jacey
“Where is Harry? You know I want to apologize to him for not inviting in my birthday party."
“Harry!! He just left after greeting me.
I requested he stay for some more time, but he was in a hurry. Anyway, you can call him to apologize anytime, right?"
It shocked Eva to know Harry leaving the party so early but she just gave a weak nod at Jacey
Soon her phone started ringing. Steve named Flash on the screen. Eva picked the call and she came to know that he was waiting downstairs to pick her up as it’s already late
Eva told him she would reach there in a minute and then bid goodbye to Jacey and Angie.
She quickly reached the parking lot and found Steve standing, leaning on the car. Her bodyguard was passing him some water and talking to him. Somehow, Eva felt some tension in the air. Still she reached to Steve
Steve gave a fake smile at her and asked, “So how was the party?”
“It was too good? But why are you looking upset? Are you alright?
“Yes, I am fine. Come, we should start for home."
Eva gave a nod at him and got “settled in the car. During the ride again, Eva felt Steve was not acting like he does; a constant frown was stuck to his face. She didn’t inquire, as she thought it must have some business-related issues.

When Harry spotted Eva in the party, he just ignored her and greeted Jacey and soon left the party. He did not wish to attend this party but Jacey requested it, so he just went for formality’s sake but the moment he saw Eva, all the statements of his father came back to his mind
The day after Eva‘s birthday party, a lawyer arrived at their doorstep and told them about the will that made Eva the owner of fifty-five percent shares of the Hudson group of hotels.
This new information dumbfounded Hudson family
