The Wedding

HOW THE ENEMY REACTS

Evelyn frowned at her ringing phone as she walked out of the elevator heading for the company's lobby outside of which her ride home was waiting. It was a dark starry night outside and Evelyn had stayed in the office later than she usually did.

She had experienced and gotten used to the hostile atmosphere in her family for years. She was born in that environment, she thrived in that environment, she even took pride in it for making her an exceptional business woman but now everything had changed with one dinner.

Her parents who never saw eye to eye had suddenly turned into young lovers who were doting on one another. She couldn't stand it. It annoyed the living daylight out of her. Even though when she was younger, she had rebelled a lot because of her father's negligence she didn't know his attention was like this. Right now she was regretting it.

She had stayed so late in the office hoping to miss dinner and avoid her parents altogether. That morning her father had made sure they came to the office together, riding in the same car, and had almost initiated the same thing after closing hours. She would have been forced to go home with him if she hadn't lied about having an appointment with some friends.

It was so frustrating seeing so many changes. Her father who never kept to closing hours and practically lived in his office, suddenly keeping to time was too much to bear. It was so frustrating that she considered spending the night in her office. Unfortunately, her office didn't have a single comfy sofa on which one could snuggle.

"I might need to get a decorator," Evelyn murmured to herself as she opened the door to the back seat of her ride and got in.

Just as she sat down, the other door opened and Ramon slipped in silently. Evelyn raised a brow at him before turning to the surprised driver.

"Take me home." she ordered and the driver immediately began to drive, taking it as the cue not to worry about the intruder.

"I didn't expect to see you back so soon." Evelyn said as she looked out the window on her side of the seat.

"His life is an open book." Ramon said calmly and Evelyn turned to him sharply.

"So there is no dirt on him?" she asked.

"No, it means he doesn't know how to cover his tracks."

"What do you mean?" Evelyn asked with a frown.

Ramon handed over two files to Evelyn. Glancing at him again, she grabbed the files and immediately opened them pulling out of the first intimate pictures of Richmond and Martha.

Her furrowed brows rose in surprise, "isn't this.......?" She trailed off

"You know her?" Ramon asked.

"She's the reason I gave you this assignment in the first place, she's supposed to be Nancy's friend. Who would have thought that she is his other woman?" Evelyn said as her lips curled in excitement at the secret.

"He met her today, there's a record of the things they discussed in the file." Ramon said calmly and Evelyn immediately puts the pictures aside and dug for the recorder then plays it.

Her expression which Ramon calmly watched, changed from excitement to surprise and then back to excitement again.

"This bastard. He would go this far to win a woman's heart?" Evelyn asked no one in particular.

"You don't believe him." Ramon observed.

"Believe him? It is all a bloody lie. Allman Bloom is clean. Really clean. Father have tracked his tails for years. There isn't a speck of dirt on him."

"What if he's good at hiding?" Ramon asked indifferently,

"No one is that good. Corrupt people always leave a trail. We would have found it and his daughter is just too innocent to know about this shit. That was why she landed herself a big-time crook for a fiancé." Evelyn said, then folded her arms across her chest feeling pleased. "Looks like Nancy Bloom dug herself a pit this time without needing my help." she said with a smile.
