• Something About Evette   Chapter 24: His Benevolent Act

  The turn of events had led Eve and Theo to be more cautious. They couldn’t believe Eve's former classmate and crush, who is said to be from a respectable family would stoop so low in a bid to humiliate them just simply because he couldn’t accept that he was rejected.“What should we do about this new revelation love?” asked Eve a bit worried.“Nothing” responded Theo.Really? Just like that? Should we just let it slide? Don’t you think letting him off the hook will make him get away with it and even repeat it in future? Shouldn’t I talk to him and warn him?” continued Eve.“Nah! Let’s leave it be. It will solve itself. The guy wants your attention love, and you will be giving it to him if you confront him.Sometimes a cure for attention deficit behavior is ignoring it. If we give him attention he might feel important in some way and that will make him do more.Just ignore him and let’s focus on the current issues. Today is pre

Yeah we had a great day yesterday. Let’s hope today will be the same” responded Eve.The press conference was scheduled for 8:30 am and the time was only 7am. Evette and Theophilus were early birds.

I know women have this sixth sense thing but you don’t have to worry babes, nothing will

  Theo called Eve at 1800hrs and informed her that he is sending a driver to pick her up. She put on the final touches to her make up. She was stunning but simple. She was indeed the most beautiful woman in Balridge. She put on a simple short flare dress with flower prints, it was skyblue in color accentuating her curves and flawless white skin.

Another pet name?” asked Theo as he approached Eve to hug and kiss her.“Don’t go changing the subject here just because you’ve been caught in the act Mr. Why were you eavesdropping?”
