Chapter 98 - Love rival? (2/2)
”I suggested to warm them up in the microwave, you refused.” Aiden defended himself.
Sarah shook her head. ”Reheated pancakes are not good. You need to eat pancakes fresh and warm, so that you can appreciate them.”
”I appreciated the cook.” Aiden tilted his head and smiled; his eyes locked on her.
Sarah stopped her movements for a second before her lips stretched into a wide smile. ”Yes, you did.”
He shamelessly smiled, happy with his performance, knowing that he did good. Knowing that it was good for both of them.
Sarah and Aiden enjoyed their time together unaware of anyone around them. That includes a person seated in the opposite corner of the coffee shop.
Evalina was sitting there, watching them intently. 'How can they be so friendly? Didn't he see the report missing important data? He probably didn't review it yet. Today he will review it and then he will see her differently.'
Evalina could not hear what they talked about, and two of them didn't touch or kiss. However, the longer she observed them, it was more obvious that they are very intimate based on how they look and smile at each other. Evalina felt grief consume her... she still remembers three years ago when she came for an interview with White corp. She entered the room, anxious, not sure what to expect. And then her eyes met his. Aiden smiled and greeted her showing where to sit... she remembers how he asked if she had trouble finding the place, and if she wants something to drink before they start... and since then, for three years she looks forward to every day hoping that he will come to office to work, and she gets to see those eyes again. And every day he does not come she gets disappointed and tells herself that it's OK, he might come next day. Every email from him, every chat, gives her strength to wait for next day, the day which she starts with hope that he will show up...
Anguish engulfed her when she realized that those eyes are looking at someone else... he never looked at her in such way. Her emotions transformed into anger when her gaze moved to Sarah. 'She seduced him! She used some underhanded methods to make him look her way. She needs to disappear, and then everything will be back to normal. With her gone, he will look my way, no matter what it takes I will make him look at me!'
Sarah felt chills and shook lightly.
Aiden noticed. He raised his hand and rubbed Sarah's shoulder. ”Are you cold?”
Sarah tilted her head and her cheek brushed over his fingers. ”I don't know. Let's take the coffee and head out.”
From her corner, Evalina narrowed her eyes while observing their interaction. 'You said that you don't like being touched. Liar! Liar! Slut!' She was losing her reasoning, being consumed by fury that was growing within her.
