Shadows of Love: Healed

7. Evyn

Evyn's POV

"Where are you? I'm at the place you told me to meet," I said into the phone.

"How blind are you? I'm waving my hand, can't you see?" she replied.

"Oh, found you."

I walked over to where she was sitting and took a seat opposite her. "You called such a busy man to this restaurant just for a treat?"

She gave me a savage look, and I knew I was in trouble. "Bro, you're free the whole day, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's the weekend, and you said you'd treat me."

With an enjoyable expression, she clapped her hands. "Great! I'll treat you to the meal, and you can pay for my shopping."

I knew exactly how Sarah Viotto would negotiate a treat. With a serious expression, I replied, "Fine. Now, hear me out. I have something important to discuss. You're going abroad during the break, got it? And you should do your internship in my branch there."

I knew there were no recommendations involved, but there was no reason to exclude her. She was good at her job and had a good GPA. If she applied for an internship in our company from outside, we would surely select her.

"Okay, will I find good places to visit there?" she asked.

Here comes the important part. I hoped I'd make it out of this alive. "It's... Germany."

"What?" She practically shouted.

"Sar, we're in public. Keep your voice down. If they recognize us, we're done for."

I know that if it were any place except Germany, she wouldn't react this way. It's because of one person: Atlas. She doesn't like him for what he did. But he became a different person after she left. Even though it's my sister, I felt so sad for him.

She knew that if I meant to send her to Germany, then she would be under Atlas's control. Yeah, that guy would be on cloud nine,lol. I haven't told him yet.

After that, she didn't say a word, paid the bill, and left. I know she was angry, but what other option do I have? I can't send her to other places because no one is as trustworthy as Atlas.

I knew she would leave like this, so I went back to my office. I can at least work instead of keeping it pending. I have to rebuild my firewall; that hacking caused a lot of damage.

Ms. Klen entered the room and handed me the list of selected interns. She informed me that the tasks had been assigned and all I needed to do was review and sign off on it.

"Thank you, Ms. Klen," I replied, accepting the list from her. "I'll review it immediately."

I went back home. It's 4:30 PM here, so it must be 10:30 PM in Germany. I need to call Atlas and tell him, but I can't approach him directly after that incident. I'll just ask him to pick her up.
1st ring: No response
2nd ring: Still no response
3rd ring: No answer
After some time, the call is finally answered.

"What the hell are you doing?" I literally shouted.

"Dude, sorry. Why did you call at this late hour?"

"Don't tell me you're sleeping. It's still 11 over there."

He replied with an irritated tone, "I'm working on my new car, and you've disturbed me."

"Oh, then work on it. It's not truly important; just a small work agreement. Before I explain, can you confirm if you're willing to provide this little help or not?", I said with a cunning expression.

"Fine, what is it? Can't it wait until tomorrow?" he grumbled.

"Just let me know if you agree or not. If you're busy, feel free to say so. It's a very small task."

"Yes, I've been quite busy with my company lately. Anyway, go ahead and tell me what it is. I can't promise to help, but I'm curious."

Yeah, now things are getting interesting. Let's see how he responds after hearing about the task.

He cut in again, "Evy, spit it out, I don't have time for your petty matters."

Petty matters? Let's see. I sighed, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. My manager there will assist, and he's young, so I doubt he'll refuse my request."

I heard some metallic noises, probably him replacing an entire car. "Come on, spit it out. I'm busy," he said impatiently.

"It's just that my sister is coming to Germany for her internship during her summer break," I explained.

He literally freaked out. "Sarah is coming here? Why didn't you—" I interrupted him. "Don't worry, Carl will take care of her. You're busy, right? Continue with your work."

I continued, "I will talk to you later. I have to book the tickets, a hotel, and other things. I thought she would stay in your mansion, but I guess it's not possible. Bye."

I ended the call, switched my phone to silent mode, and headed for a warm shower, feeling satisfied.

After getting ready, I had to go downstairs and talk to her parents about it, even though it was dinner time, but I felt like hell.  While checking, I received three calls, which is why I had put my phone on silent before leaving.

I finally decided to answer, "What is it?"

"Evyn, when is she coming? Where is she landing? At what time? How many--" I interrupted again, "Why, bro? You said you have work, right?" I said sarcastically.

"Stop being rude and sarcastic, now answer my questions."

"I'm not sure if her parents will accept it or not, but that little devil doesn't want to come. She was very disappointed when I told her today. She literally left the place. But I have no other option."

With an excited tone, "Firstly, she's not a devil, she's an angel. Secondly, convince her parents. And lastly, she's always excited to visit Germany. She loves this place, man. That's just because of me. I will send her back with no regrets."

"Bro, this is cringe. I'll end the call now, and don't you dare to flirt with her. I'll send the details tomorrow. Sleep well."

"Do you still expect that I'll sleep?" he said with a relaxed tone.

Yes, as expected, he won't sleep with excitement. Now I need to go downstairs and convince her parents. I went downstairs, and all the maids were rushing around, setting things. I guess they saw me, as everyone started coming out of their rooms.

I sat in my chair, and everyone started eating. I called Sarah's mom and dad. I know Sarah's father is hard to convince, and after she returned to NYC with great disappointment, I don't think even Aunt Shreya will agree.

Let's see how things unfold.
