William gave a look at Stephen, who didn’t take rest until he snatched the deal from harry
Somewhere William started getting apprehensive about Stephen‘s affection for Eva; he knew how headstrong Stephen could be, but this time it’s not about a deal; it’s about love and this relationship. Eva’s approval is also important.
Stephen was feeling peace after giving a good counterattack to Harry; a playful smirk played on his lips, but when he noticed William’s tensed face, he got alert
“What is it, dad? Why are you looking tense?”
“Nothing important, but I want to ask you something. When are you planning to take Eva on a date? “
"Soon, dad, but I want her to be comfortable around me first. You know that day when I shouted at her while listening to the party invitation? She again started being her old self and started avoiding my presence, so I want her anger to subside. Then I will definitely take her for a date, and I want to propose to her on the same day."
“Propose? Isn’t it soon? I mean, are you sure she will say yes to your proposal?"
“She will, the way Stephen made the statement. William understood that this was becoming a very serious topic for Stephen. And now William is more worried about the future
The same night after dinner, which was again a quiet affair, Eva played her first move. She gave a missed call to Michael, and she knew Michael will call her back soon
As expected, Michael called her shortly
Eva informed him she wanted to go on a coffee date with a common friend. Michael was shocked at first, but he trusts her daughter enough. It’s a fact that he wanted Eva to get married to Stephen but if his daughter is in love with someone else and if he finds her perfect for her daughter, then he is going to support her in every way So Michael happily got her permission for that coffee date
The next morning at the breakfast table, Eva made her second move. She asked Rose
“Rose, I need your help. Could you please select a dress for me today .“
“Yes, sure, but are you going to another party or what?” Rose teased her
"No, actually. I met a guy at Jacey’s party. We clicked along well, and today he called me to ask me out for a coffee date. I already talked to dad, and he agreed, so I am going on a date this evening.” Eva announced all her back-and-forth while looking down at her lap as she didn’t want to make eye contact with the devil
Moments passed, but she didn't hear any response to her utterances, so she looked up and was surprised to see all the Smith family in a state of shock. But soon William handled the situation.
“That’s really nice to know, so can we know who this lucky boy is? “
Eva gleamed and replied, “his name is Robinson. “
"Ooh,
Eva kept waiting for Stephen‘s reaction, but to his surprise, Stephen never gave a single expression on his face. She felt his calm face and continued with his breakfast
After Eva left the dining room, she got her bag from her room.
Steve asked in irritation, "How are you so calm? I mean, if it doesn’t matter to you. Don’t you want to know about that?
Stephen wiped his hands with the table napkin and answered Steve with a composed voice
“Didn’t you hear she already took permission from her dad? For now, I just want to take care of her security."
Stating this, Stephen left for his car as today he was is going to drop Eva off for her classes
Eva was afraid to know that Stephen was going to drop her today, but she kept her demeanor composed and settled in his car
To her surprise, Stephen didn’t utter a word during the entire ride. He dropped Eva off at her classes and left for his office. Eva was glad that everything was going according to her plan. Shortly, he will understand that Eva is in love with someone else and will stop thinking about her.
Steve picked Eva after her classes, and soon it was evening. Eva got ready in her dress that was selected by Rose, and she left for the cafe. The security kept following her.
When she reached the cafe, she felt confused about whether Stephen would come to check on her. If he doesn't, she is prepared to move on to her Plan B, which involves taking lots of selfies with Robinson and posting them on her social media accounts.
Eva entered the cafe and settled on the booked table. She chose an elite restaurant for her date plan. While waiting for Robinson, she ordered a coffee and time seemed to fly by.
