Chapter 152 - Rough morning

Andy just got out of a meeting with some stockholders. They were pressuring him to fix the problem with the scandal of one of their artist. News reporters are looking into their other artists and it was not looking well for the publicity of their company.

Andy already made plans with Lena tonight. She told him that she has the results for the pill and the solution to his scandal problem. However, she needed a payment of food.

Sophia knocked on the door of Andy's office.

"Come in." Andy spoke.

"CEO Yang, Eva called awhile ago when you were in a meeting."

"What did she ask for?"

"I don't know. She just told me that you should call her as soon as you were out of the meeting."

"Do you have anything else?"

"Yes." Sophia handed a file to Andy. "These are all the information that I could pull out of the disposable phone. The calls are mostly secured but the text messages are still there. I cannot trace any of the numbers though."

"That's fine. Good work." Andy thanked her and she walked out. "Sophia?" She stopped and looked back at her boss. "Make sure my parent knows nothing about this, especially my mom."

"Yes."

Sophia closed the door and let Andy work in peace. He had many things going on his plate for the last few days. Not only is there the scandal but Eva has been pestering him non-stop. Sophia shooked her head... she though Eva was very nice but she was turning into Lena.

Sophia remembered when Lena always cause trouble to Andy. She never considered the consequences until it was too late. At least with Lena, she picked up after her mess more than Eva. Eva depended on Andy and Madam Yang for everything. Eva tried too much to fit into Andy's world.

Andy looked at the file that Sophia gave him. He opened his drawer and looked at the other file that she asked for her before. It was the information on the residents who lived in the building that Eva visited. He had not looked at them yet... he was somewhat afraid to. He closed his eyes and called Eva.

The call did not get pick up. He called her again but still no answer. He called her bodyguards instead.

"Yes, boss?"

"Where is Eva now?"

"Miss Wu just left the apartment."

"Anything unusual this morning?" Andy asked.

"No, boss. Just that Miss. Shen visited her this morning but left after 10 minutes."

Andy was not surprised. She told him that she would be delivering the rings to Eva. "Ok. Watch her and tell me where she is going."

"Yes, boss!"

Andy hung up the call. He put the files away. He won't look at them yet. He will give the person he loves one more chance. Her last chance.

Eva hurriedly got out of the apartment to go buy a disposable phone nearby. She got into a corner store and luckily they had one. She bought one and quickly dialed Mike Zhao again. He picked up.

"Who's this?"

"It's me again. Don't hang up... it's a secure call." Eva replied.

"What do you need?"

"Did you see Lena Shen at all? Talk to her?"

"..." Mike Zhao did not reply. He called Lena that the morning he waked up with... with that... person. She told him that they had dinner and she left separately from her after that. The security cameras even showed that. But, Mike just can't remember any of it. "No."

"How.... Think Mike! Could there be anyone else that knows about..."

"About you sleeping with me for the pills? Heh... lady, you chose a payment. I am a businessman, I don't care about who knows or not." Mike hung up the phone.

Eva squeezed the phone. She needs to know if Lena was just taunting her or if she really knew about it. Eva looked at her real cellphone and realized she had a missed call from Andy. She called him back but he did not pick up.

She called her bodyguards to pick her up from the corner store. It was only a few minutes and they arrived. She told them to take her to the Yang company.

Once there, she hurriedly went to Andy's office. Everyone knew who she was so they did not stop her. Sophia saw Eva walking down the hallway in a speed. She wanted to stop her since Andy does not like to be disturbed when he is working. However, Eva pushed passed her and walked into the office.

"Andy!"

Andy looked up at the young woman who just walked through his doors. He did not like it when his workspace is interrupted, especially when he needed to focus on his work.

"Eva." Andy got up from his chair and went to hug her. "Why are you here?"

Eva removed his hands from her and looked at him angrily. "Are you having dinner with Lena Shen tonight?"

"Yeah, we---"

Eva did not wait for Andy to explain and burst into an angry fit. "So it is true! You can't make time to eat dinner with me, but you made time to have dinner with your ex. What would other people think of me if they see you guys together?! Do you even still care about me, your fiance?!"

Andy was calm before, but now he was somewhat irritated too. "Eva." He spoke her name in a deep strict tone. He stepped back away from her to look at a woman who was a stranger to him. "What has gotten to you lately? My dinner with Lena is strictly for business."

"I don't care. You should have dinner with me first before anyone else. Can't you save me some face?"

Andy grabbed Eva's arm and held it tightly. "Save your face? You're not even saving me any. You come in here and start accusing me of putting another woman before you, and yet you don't give an sh*t about the things that are really happening. When you marry me, you marry me, my family and my company. Why don't you go take a break and reconsider that."

Andy did not spare her another look. "Sophia, get her out of here until she had properly cooled down her head. Don't let her come in again without my permission!" Andy dragged Eva out of his office and closed the door.

Eva stood out the closed door. Her heart stopped beating and she was at the edge of crying. Andy had never yelled at her so roughly before. When they first had the argument about the rings, he was consoling her but she was the one who kept yelling. Now, he is not so nice anymore. She was the one at fault.

"Andy! I am sorry. Open the door and we can talk about it." She pounded on the door, ignoring the looks of all the employees who were staring at her.

"Miss. Wu, I suggest you leave CEO Yang for a bit. He had a rough morning."

Eva turned around to see Sophia. "I'll come back later." Eva reluctantly left the office.

Sophia told everyone to get back to work and made sure no one would utter a single word about what happened.

Eva's heart was full of angry inside the elevator. She clenched her fists and look into her reflection in the elevator. 'I need to get pregnant with Andy's baby soon... that way he can't leave me for her.'
