18 Chapter 16 (1/2)
”There's a twenty-four hour opened café there.” Eric pointed towards a modern chick café, five meters away from the bike rack. Then he pointed at a mega wide construction across the street.
”I'll just be there.” He said merely, and without a second glance, he walked crossing the street towards the construction site.
In truth, Evangeline was still in a state of disbelief and inner turmoil. Her eyes followed the back of that man with messy black hair.
Somehow she felt lonely.
”…..”
What is wrong with me?
You're not acting yourself, Evangeline!
She didn't entertain the thoughts anymore and dismissed it, thinking because it was the first time that she encountered a man like Eric.
With reclaim poise and grace, she sashayed towards Snow café.
She didn't understand why she wanted to wait for Eric no matter the cost. Didn't understand why she wanted him to submit to her so badly. And before she even noticed it, she already became obsessed with the idea. She dismissed it all as nothing but a game. Nothing but a new kind of entertainment to challenge her ego.
Inside, she was surprised to find that the café looked cozy and elegant with sofas, comfortable couches, gla.s.s table, carpeted floors, and modern paintings and fresh greeneries and flowers decorated here and there. There was also a wooden stair with gla.s.s railing going up to the second floor.
She ordered a cup of tea and went to the next floor. She chose a seat on the balcony where the construction site which Eric work could be seen.
Her eyes immediately scanned the place, hoping to see the man. But of course, the whole construction site was covered by nets and towering metal gates, making it impossible to see what was going on inside. And with all the darkness of the night, it was impossible to spot which was which.
She sighed and drank her tea in silence.

Meanwhile, in a private room of a grand casino, Asher was pacing back and forth, trying to control his temper.
”Boss, we've found Miss.”
Asher immediately signaled everyone to follow him.
The loud gurgle sound of motorbikes could be heard echoing throughout the street of Blue River city.
Asher cursed all the way while riding his bike, imagining all the gruesome murder he wanted to commit.
That guy doesn't seem to care for his life. I swear I'll break every bone in his body every time I see him!
Asher wasn't like this with any other guy, not even with Daniel because he knew that Evangeline never cared about them. Only treated them nothing more than servants.
But this guy….
That messy hair nerdy, geeky man had somehow managed to tickled the interest of their Queen, and Asher was having a hard time accepting this.
He must put a stop to it before it became even more serious!
----?----
Eric wiped off the sweat on his face and then went straight into the barracks to change. He stopped midway when he realized that he was going to talk with the pompous haughty Queen. He decided to take a bath first and switch to clean clothes before he went out and crossed the street to where Evangeline was waiting.
Of course, he was not that cruel to keep the girl waiting for him for eight hours. Thus, for the first time, he asked to work halftime on this day which his superior immediately agreed seeing how serious his face was.
At the café, Eric scanned the area for the woman. When he didn't find her, he went up the stairs and his eyes automatically locked on that moving scenery of a beautiful girl, sleeping peacefully.
Eric restrained a moan when he saw Evangeline. She was sleeping on top of her crossing arms on the table. Her long lashes slightly trembled as if dreaming while her soft, moist lips were slightly apart, enticing anyone to stare and have a closer look.
