A bead of sweat rolled down her temple and to her jaw. Eve quickly rubbed her jaws on her shoulder, without jiggling the cake she was working on.

620Please respect copyright.PENANAGp2i0rTRCG
Her client, Avery Erickson was an artist herself and sketched the cake for Eve and genuinely, Eve appreciated the girl for lessening her workload but the design was a pain in the ass, with intricate sugar paste flowers and edible beads..
620Please respect copyright.PENANAe2anl0lpKC
620Please respect copyright.PENANAKyeF0vCcKH
Eve straightened her back after pushing in another flower into the cake. She groaned as her back popped and in the back of her mind, Eve decided to hit back at the gym. She's so awfully out of shape.620Please respect copyright.PENANABtAkK9fCfk

Eve pressed her lips into a thin line and walked out of the room and went straight to the small office. It's where she met with clients. She made a face at the mess. Crumbled papers littered the polished wooden floor. The wastebasket in the corner was filled to the brim with papers and her table was a disaster.620Please respect copyright.PENANA1gohqKyKtA

620Please respect copyright.PENANAIum11ojJSB

Eve took off the coffee brown apron she was wearing and made her way towards the table, attempting to tidy up her table. A knock reached her ears soon after. 620Please respect copyright.PENANAoiPCzhM5e1

The door opened and a young man walked in. He maybe in his thirties, with thick black hair and bright green eyes. He had a huge grin plastered on his face and automatically, a small smile appeared on her face. She like pleasant clients, but the smile dropped into a frown when she saw who walked in after him.620Please respect copyright.PENANAewqsqn0hMK
620Please respect copyright.PENANAJpu5lZ5dV4
620Please respect copyright.PENANAyXBKgrJdIG

"Ah, Mr. Williams, please take a seat", her eyes flew over to Adam, who was still staring at her, with his hands pushed into the pockets of his black slacks. The first few buttons of his blue shirt was undone and she saw a black ink peeking out. 620Please respect copyright.PENANAbdiZZZMRUI

She managed to say the words, moving over to sit down on her chair, facing Jason who was already seated. He was surveying her office room and heat rushed to her cheeks when she saw his lips quirk up, obviously noticing the mess.620Please respect copyright.PENANAUDkU0E8yKj

Eve cleared her throat. "My mum used to say that", she mumbled, more to herself. Her eyes lifted and Adam's eyes trailed down, lingering at the opal locket of her chain. Eve thought she saw the start of a smile but it disappeared as soon as it came and his face was once again stoic.620Please respect copyright.PENANAp2fT4HCr5L

"I know enough", his eyes were on her hand that was now around the locket and her stomach knotted uncomfortably. No one else other than Sam knew about the locket. Not even Daniel, even though he questioned her about it. But the look that crossed over Adam's face...it was like he knew what was inside the locket and how much it meant to her.620Please respect copyright.PENANAhnkAq0zUl8

"You have got another client waiting", she said, eyes drifting over to where Adam was seated. He was still staring at her, with a blank expression. Susan must have sensed the tension in the room and shot her a concerning look. Eve licked her dry lips.620Please respect copyright.PENANAHyEgSGRzZ1

Susan nodded, not even recognizing the name she said and walked out of the room. To her relief, Adam stood up but he leaned over the table, hands flat on the table until she could feel his hot breath on her face. Damn his height!620Please respect copyright.PENANArQ8bYyGtoe

She saw his true self then, understood why he was nicknamed The Great White Shark. His eyes were set on her, and he will get her. He remained like that, staring into her eyes when the door opened. 620Please respect copyright.PENANAdcxzLU6mPf

Unfazed, Adam straightened up and she breathed out in relief but it was short lived as her eyes fell upon the person who was standing by the door. Daniel frowned at Adam's back and his eyes widened when the latter turned on his heels. Adam didn't even glanced at Daniel as he walked towards the door but stopped by the threshold, looking over his shoulder. "I will see you tomorrow Genevieve" and he was gone. 620Please respect copyright.PENANAyyD3nfNI4X
