Their conversation had Eva’s interest as she listened. Stephen sensed her intense gaze and interest in the conversation.
“Enough both of you; I think we should call it a night, “Stephen declared, stopping the argument. Soon he left along with Eva and so did the others.
When Richard was moving towards his car, Steve dragged him in a corner and told him
“Is it not possible for you to keep your emotions in check here? My goal is to put on an act that will bring out Eva’s emotions and feelings. Your constant fascination with that model is creating trouble.”
“Natalia is her name and I give a damn about your plan. Now excuse me .“
Eva observed tension between Richard and Steve as Richard left in his car, passing by her own car.
It was late at night when they reached home. Stephen made an excuse for homework and entered his office in his house.
He messaged Steve to reach there asap
Steve entered the office room and found his brother in deep thoughts
“Stephen! “ Steve called him
“What the hell do you think you are doing?What is this you started with Natalia? She is a model of our brand and that’s all. And what was the need to disclose about our college? At least think about Eva. “
“I am doing this thinking about her only."
‘What do you mean?
“You will know soon; for now I can tell you what the first thing your wife will do."
“What?”
“Eva is definitely searching for Natalia’s bio, pictures, and linkups—everything she can find on the internet.”
“What rubbish! Why will she do this?”
“She will. After all, she is your wife, and she loves you. But you have to behave as I say to her
“What do you mean? “
“For the coming days, stop pampering her, complimenting her."
“I never pamper her. I just care for her.”
“Yes, and you do it a lot."
“But..”
“Just do as I say. We already have a word about it. Now good night. I have a long day tomorrow.
Stating this, Steve left for his room. Stephen sighed and cursed for his given word
When Stephen reached the room, he found her busy on her phone. He reached on the other side of the bed and slipped inside the sheet. Eva was so engrossed in her search that she didn’t notice his presence
Stephen recalled Steve’s prediction, and in curiosity, he just peeped in her phone. His eyes were wide in amazement as Eva was looking at Natalia’s pictures. A smile spread across Stephen‘s lips. He removed his gaze from her phone and fake coughed to make his presence noticed
Eva almost slipped the phone from her hand. She placed the phone on the side table and ask Stephen,
‘When did you arrive? “
“Just now.. I am too tired. Eva could just turn off the lights. “
