Chapter 8 Fight

Evelyn's POV

"Yep that's it for now. Let's see these sites first, then we'll decide" I said sipping my coffee. "Okay I'll check them out for you" Tristan said sipping his own coffee, as he let out a yawn. I made him wake up early today. It was just 8 in the morning and we already finished searching the area. it's not like Tristan couldn't search by himself but I like to do things by my own.

"And what about the owner of the that location, I told you about" I asked as I got up from the couch with my laptop in my hands.

"Yeah, I found his contacts last night and texted him, as he didn't pick up the. I explained him about the situation and he agreed to meet you today. I'll text you the time and location. Now if you don't mind, can I sleep for some more time?" He said annoyingly as he leaned backward, letting his back touch the couch. Tristan may act like a flirt but he's the most trusted person, when it comes to work. I rolled my eyes at his whining.

"Do whatever you want, I'm going to get ready, I've work to do at uncle's company" I said and walked out of his apartment.

The apartment I rented, was on the same floor as Lucy's. I reached in front of the apartment and rang the door bell. I was still in my I wore before sleeping, a little oversized plain white tshirt and shorts.

I didn't take anything with me except my phone and laptop.

The door was opened by My most unfavorite person. I ignored him and started walking inside, as I walked past him, he held my arm, preventing me to go further. "Where were you?" he asked in a demanding tone. Does he have the authority to ask me anything? No!

"Leave my hand" I said calmly, not making any attempt to free myself.

"I asked you something, Evelyn?" I love the way he say my name. But he can't say that, it doesn't feel right.

"Mr Medici, leave my hand, I'll get rashes-" "Hey Ade what are you doing? Leave her arm!" Before I could stop him, lucy came all dressed up in business clothes. He's helping me a lot, handling most of the work in the company.

Adrian let go of my arm and lucy held it, examining my arm, if I'm alright. I've a really sensitive skin, I'm most likely to get rashes if someone touch or hold me tightly. Adrian looked at us, totally confused. "She got a sensitive skin, don't hold her roughly" lucy explained him and Adrian turned his eyes at me, staring at me with a look, that I can't understand, It was amusement or concern.

"Anyways Eve, I've some work in the company, so I'm taking the car. Ade will give you a ride. And don't miss the breakfast" He kissed my forehead before walking out, leaving me alone with Adrian.

"Are you okay? Do you want to visit hospital?" Adrian asked me, holding my hands again, but this time, a little more gently.

I mentally sighed. "I'm fine, Mr Medici-"

"It's Adrian for you"

"Huh?" I looked at him, a little more annoyed. I'm getting late for work and this dude isn't letting me go.

"Evelyn, you see. I'm a straight forward person. I like you and I want to date you. So when are you free?" What the hell is he talking about.

"Did I say yes?" I said harshly. I was pretty irritated by him, forcing me.

"You will say it soon. So when are you free again?" I gritted my teeth, trying hard not to lash out on him. But he's asking for it.

"Well in that care, Mr Medici, you are mistaken. Because I don't like you"

"Did you just reject me? Think again. Girls are dying for my one glance"

'girls are dying for my one glance' huh! What does he think of himself.

"Same for me, Mr Medici. Boys are dying to date me. Why would I choose you when I don't even like you" And one of those boys are you!! I wanted to scream it on his face but unfortunately I didn't say out loud.

"Are you playing hard to get? Tell me what do you want in return?" He said smirking. That fucking smirk!! Does he think he can buy me!! When I didn't reply, he continued. "Everything has a price. Tell me what is yours?"

I let out a chuckle at his eagerness. "You must be crazy to think, you can buy me. Think twice before you talk to me again.

I can destroy your whole career in one go. Don't test me. Now get out of my sites" I told him to get out but I was the one who left. I didn't have the mood to go to my room and change my clothes, so I walked out of the apartment like this.

Thinking to go to my rented apartment, where Tristan was, but I got the better idea after seeing the person before me. It was that mysterious guy, my neighbour to be specific. "Hey" I smiled at him, for the first time. He looked confused by my sudden behavioral changes, not his fault actually, I always gave him a cold shoulder.

"Um hey?" He hesitantly greeted back.

"Are you free?" I asked approaching him, while the smile never leaving my face.

"Yea-"

"Perfect"

☆☆☆

He laughed. "So you tricked me"

"Technically I never told you the reason of approaching you before so no I didn't" I said getting out of his car.

"You do have a way with words"

Since I didn't have a car and my wallet with me, I asked him to take me to some mall or anywhere, I can buy and change my clothes. After driving about fifteen minutes, he stopped the car, when I got out, I realized it was the brand store my mother owns. On our way, I told him a little about myself, and that my mother is a designer, but I guess I forgot to mention the name. And about the laugh, It was because I told him about my little fight with Adrian.
