All Chapters of Something About Evette: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Theophilus had grown fond of Eve. He found himself thinking too much about her than normal. He wondered what was happening to him because he has never been one to put women in his thoughts. Many have tried to seduce him but he was never interested in them and thereby never let any woman invade his mind and heart. He tried resisting his feelings for this woman since the day she had invited Mr Viaz to the presentation and later saw her with a man holding hands and laughing with him at the Italian restaurant which made him somehow feel jealous but he hasn’t been able to put these feelings under control.This afternoon just when he masked some courage to ask her out he went to her office. The door was slightly ajar and as he was about to knock he heard that she was on the phone. She was laughing and excited and seemed happy. “Yes Bernard, I’ll go out to dinner with you. It’s just a casual classmate catching up dinner right?” she asked whoever was on the call, Baron assuming it’s o

Aunty was so excited. The cottage had been cleaned and extra furniture bought. She did not allow Eve to use any money on her and used her own savings. Evette helped her pick up a few things to decorate it and make it more homely. Today her family is arriving. Though they aren’t used to city life, the girls were willing to accommodate them and help them get settled. It’s been five years since Evette last saw some of them. Leah was excited and felt that the more men in her family, the more security. Lately she had been feeling vulnerable, more especially that her big sister spends some nights at work. She needed to feel safe so she would stop invading people’s bedrooms and sneaking into Bianca’s blankies just because she was feeling scared. It was a day off for Eve though she still kept calling at work to ask about the progress. She indeed is a hard worker. They prepared a feast to welcome Aunty’s family properly and make them feel comfortable.At last they arriv

Weeks passed and the friendship between Eve and Theo was growing. They had gotten closer and everyone could see the huge influence she had had on Theo. His family was seeing him more often and when he did, he would spend time playing board games, laughing and joking. His mother was puzzled. She wondered who could be having such influence on her son and genuinely wanted to meet this person. Lately he has been going out a lot than usual, and this is indication that it has to do with a girl.“Who is she?” asked Theo’s Mum, Thea with a serious face. Theophilus jutted out his head and looked at his mother with questioning eyes but holding a grin. “Who?” he roared. “The girl, come on, get it out! I want to meet her and thank her” Thea continued. “Mum, what are you on about? I’m confused. Who said some girl is influencing me?” said Theo. “Uhuh! See! You said it yourself, did I mention any influence? I think you know what I’m saying and you are just trying to stall. Now I’m certai

Eve stepped into Theo’s office with a frown on her forehead. “What was that all about? A business dinner I have no idea about? Were you for real?” Eve asked in a dramatic voice throwing her hands in the air. Theo rolled his eyes and stood up. “Sorry that I ruined your plans Ms Evette, I guess that made you mad?” asked Theo sarcastically not remorseful of doing it at all. Eve rolled her eyes too. “Don’t you go make this sound like that. I’m far from being mad, I’m just extremely confused. What is it with you boss? One moment you act like you really like me, the other you act like we are just friends, another moment yet you act all jealous and possessive, driving away men from me. You are confusing me. Back in my office you were acting like a jealous lover and lied about dinner, and just now you call me with formal name tags. I truly can’t understand you at all. What exactly do you want from me Mr big boss?” Eve trailed off not catching a breath in between her sentence

Theo couldn’t get enough of Eve, he wanted to spend time with her at every given moment. He was getting obsessed with her yet he still maintained his work ethics. One Monday morning he had just arrived in his office and didn’t even check his daily schedule but went straight to Evette’s office. “Hi charity, I called to ask about the process on registering my company, how far is everything? Still waiting for approval? Mhhm, ok! I’ll hear from you then, bye!” said Eve as she spoke to someone over the phone. Mr big boss eavesdropped as always. He didn’t knock but just entered. “ Still keen on having your own company?” asked Theo. “Good morning to you too! Eavesdropping again? This is becoming your bad habit Mr CEO” said Eve clicking her tongue. “Hi babes! Mr CEO huh? 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?”
