Chapter 157 - Disposing the Ex

At the Su Financial Bank building.

Daniella parked her motorcycle at the parking space and got off casually. Wearing her ripped jeans and navy green V-neck shirt, she went inside the building.

As she waited for the elevator, she noticed some eyes gawking at her coldly. She squinted and looked into their eyes and seeing the thoughts they have about her, her face wrinkled and with that, she decided to leave.

With heavy feet, she went to her motorcycle. She's about to jump on it when she looked up and saw some men cleaning the windows. She gulped hard and opened the small trunk of her motorcycle. A faint smile flashed on her lips to see the laser that can cut through metal and glasses.

Without wasting her time, she went to the truck carrying the lift.

"Mister," she called out the man that's driving the truck.

"Yes?"

"Can I have a lift?"

The man stopped the truck and looked at her with difficulty.

When she smiled the man froze. He gulped hard.

"Here," Daniella said and gave the watch she took from Matthew earlier, "just give me a lift up and you can have this Rolex."

The man's eyes sparkled but, he shook his head.

With no option left, Daniela showed him her phone with the picture she took of her and Evan.

"I am your boss's girlfriend now give me a lift," this time, her voice was no longer sweet instead it was cold and domineering.

Instantly, the driver adjusted the lift.

With a triumph smile, Daniella got on to it.

In Evan's office.

Head tilting like a confused owl, Evan narrowed his eyes.

His secretary had just informed him that Mr. Park of Park Entertainment was asked to speak with him.

He gulped hard, the last time he saw him was when he canceled the contract of the models with them. He got up and adjusted his tie.

When the door opened, Evan's face became darker. The CEO of Park Entertainment was with his son which he met a few weeks ago.

"Mr. Park," he stretched a hand to greet them and shortly they all settled on the couch in his office.

"This is a surprise, what is happening?" he said straight, exchanging his sight between the two Park's in front of him which resembled each other.

James' father took a sigh, "we would like to invite you to our company anniversary."

Evan rose a brow, inviting him to a party personally seemed strange for him. He squinted both eyes in suspicion.

"Alright, tell me what I can help."

James Park smiled at him, "my dad and I have made an agreement."

Evan rose a brow, 'what does it have to do with me?' he asked in his mind.

"If I don't find my ex before the company's anniversary, he will announce my engagement to Sofia Minoan," James continued.

Evan blinked and started to wonder who James was talking about. He picked up the coffee that his secretary has prepared and waited for James to continue.

"This brat!" suddenly James' father pumped a palm on the man's head angrily, "that girl is a gold digger, I asked her to leave you and you know what she said?" the man paused to suppress his anger, "she asked for money!"

Both James and Evan's eyes swelled upon hearing it.

"Really?" Evan and James both asked in surprise.

James' father nodded, then massaged his chin, "yes but she was asking for half of our asset so I said no."

And with that, Evan and James both relaxed.

"Did you know that if she marries me and we get divorced, half of my money will go to her right?"

With a flat expression, James' father once again hit his head, "how can you like that orphan girl? Didn't you say that her eyes scare you?"

James became quiet and so was Evan.

"Yes, but I am her first love so-" James was interrupted when Evan suddenly cough.

"Why am I hearing this?" Evan asked rudely with one brow raised in confusion.

And with that, excitement rushed over James, "Matthew said you hired my ex to be Selena's babysitter."

Evan bit his lip; he secretly took a sigh and faked a smile.

"Ahuh! Daniella Chen, she's staying at my house"

(and sleeping in my room) he said in his mind.

Evan nodded, "did you know that she has a boyfriend?"

James shrugged both of his shoulders "yeah, but she's Daniella. She will always come back to me," he confidently said as he waggled his brows, "I am her first love and she said that she will marry me."

Stunned with what he just heard; Evan dumbfoundedly stared at him.

Crossing his arms, Evan leaned at the couch, "how can you be sure that she will come back to you?"

James puckered his lips, and the way he did it somehow reminded him of Daniella.

"There are two options," James replied raising two fingers in the air.

"First, I will give her a surprise proposal, the one where she can't say no – so must be in public with lobster on the table," he chuckled by the thought, "second," he paused and turned to his father, "I will make her pregnant."

Evan's face flattened by his childish words. Shaking his head, he turned to James's father, speechless.

"I know, he hasn't grown," James father spoke before Evan could say anything.

"Stop it, dad!" James barked.

"I will ask Daniella to -" Evan's eyebrow creased when he suddenly heard a strange sound around. He looked on each side but could not find the source.

With confusion evident on his face as well as the Park's, Evan got up and walked towards the bedroom in his office.

He opened the door while the Park's tailed him.

Soon, the sound of shattering glasses has made everyone turned to the window and seeing a person jumping from the cleaning lift equipment into the room has made their jaws drop in surprise.

"Jamey!" Daniella's voice full of surprise sounded as soon as she raised her face.

"Ella!" saying that with shock, James rushed to her.

As Daniella waited for him to reach her, her lips pursed tightly.

James stretched a hand to embrace Daniella and she accepted it wholeheartedly but before their bodies could touch, she pushed him out of the window hole she created and rang the bell hanging on the rail to signal the driver to pull the lift down.

Daniella peeked her head out and gave a dismissive waved at James while the man was trembling and shouting help.

When she smelled Evan's perfume next to her, she sneered, "and that's how you dispose of your ex," she said boastfully.

After imitating her laugh, Evan whispered, "I hope you also know how to dispose of your ex's father."

"I am guessing you wouldn't want to marry my son."

Daniella and Evan turned by James's father's voice.

Her face dimmed, for a moment her breathing stopped.

"I did want to marry him once, but you told me that he will never accept me, and I was really ready to fight for him but-" she paused for a moment. She did love James so much that she did everything to make sure that she can get into his circle but James' father has made it clear that he won't accept her because the money she has was not clean.

"He cheated on me!" her voice rose and a little broken, "and I am that kind of person who doesn't come back to the people that left me."

James' father bobbed his head, "it's a shame, my wife really loves you."
