Page 21 of My Tempting Woman

“Hmm “

“Good morning everyone, “Steve enters the dining room.

"Where are you? Don’t you know you have to manage the presentation too? It’s an important day of your career, and you...

"Relax, dad, everything is ready. I worked till late at night.”

"Good, I hope you can grab it."

"Hmm, but wait a minute. Where is she?”

““Who?”

“the last Eva. You know, from last few days I got habitual of teasing her. “

William chuckled at his statement. "Yes, Rose, I also noticed this, but I thought she was late. Or something. “

“Her classes started today, and she already left."

William gave a nod to this information, whereas Steve just shrugged his shoulders.

Whereas Stephen was listening to the conversation with an expressionless face as it was new information for him that Eva is going to attend some classes, but what classes? Is she a college student? Anyway, he is soon going to get all his answers.

Despite that, Stephen was upset as he couldn’t see his precious. ... precious, he chuckled internally at his endearment for Eva, but what’s wrong, as she is the first woman who made his heart beat faster, so that was her for him. Precious, precious.

After finishing breakfast, all the men started for their office. When Stephen reached his car, the chauffeur opened the door for him. Stephen got settled and just gave a look at the garage. He found they parked all the other cars in their usual place. He thought the driver must have returned after dropping by Eva. He shrugged his thoughts and ordered the driver to start for his office, as he wanted to reach it soon. Bob was already waiting for him in his office. His secretary messaged about his presence

The moment he reached the office, he ordered David to send the bob to his office, and no one should disturb them in their discussion.

David gave a nod, and soon Bob entered the cabin. He greeted Stephen first and then passed the file to him

Stephen started reading the file on the first page; it was her parents’ details. It disheartened him to know that Eva lost her mother at such a tender age. When he glanced at the photograph of the couple, a memory of his childhood came back to him. Now he knows why her mother loves her so much, as her mother’s name reminds him of her mother’s childhood friend. He tried to recall that he might have met Eva’s parents once in his childhood. When the couple visited LA at their place with a newborn baby in their arms.

A smile appeared on his face, remembering how he and Steve kept adoring the beautiful baby. He was almost 9 years old, and Steve was 5 years old., so after years nothing has changed much.

Stephen turns the next page the moment he observes the pictures of Eva; his heart again skips a beat as she was looking breathtaking in those photos. Stephen kept the pictures in his office drawer and again started reading her details. She is very close to her father.

Her academic reports impressed Stephen, as she was a nerd throughout her studies. She graduated this year. She has few and only three close friends. To his relief, all were girls named Joyce, Madison, and Sara. Stephen gave a peek at those pictures, too.

He read the last line carefully: “no past relationships, flings, or boyfriends.”

The next information was very interesting. Eva is a superb cook. She loves baking, and her only dream is to open a small bakery in her town. In LA, she is attending some baking classes that will help her pursue her dream. Stephen closed the file and looked at Bob, who was standing there with a sweating face, as he was not sure his boss got the information he was looking for.

“Good job."

“Thank you."

"Your fees will be transferred to your account, and now the next work."

“Sir”

“Get details of the classes."

“You mean the culinary classes?"

Yes, all about that—the owner, her teachers, her classmates—all about them. Got it

“Hmm, I am on it, sir.”
