Eva's POV
I arrived at work extremely late today, I crept into my office avoiding any attention and the flurry of activities was in my favor as I made it to my office in one piece.
My new boss Mitchell Bradley was one hell of a woman,a successful brainy one at that, I've come to like her, she was so diligent with work and at 42 she was still unmarried. she understands everyone and that made her more sociable , everyone warmed up to her and I secretly looked up to her.

I got to work immediately, there's so much to do this week,C&k agreed to partner with a renowned business woman who had one of the best exhibition centre,lacy art museum,it was the world of art a whole new world of fantasy and dreams.
she wanted to merge one of her art studio with C&k,and she paid a fortune for it,it was going to be a hit, all art lovers from around the world would be coming to auction for the paintings,and it'd be nice to mingle with the rich.

I'll advise Lara to apply for a job here, it'd be a great opportunity to paint for one of the greatest art centres after all she loved painting,it was her dream, she even did a part-time job at a tattoo artist shop while in college and she was good.
I've been selected as the host of this great event and I want to make the experience worthwhile so I prepared thoroughly, I'll also persuade Lara to come with.

it's lunch time already, shit!!
I went in search of Rose and I found her in the crowded cafeteria, I observed with a smile that she saved a spot for me, we've been doing great lately and I couldn't help but like her.

"hi hi"

"Eva"she replied with a smile "I already ordered, hope you don't mind"

"nah anything goes"

"how're you holding up"

"good,you"

"I'm exhausted with work, and I don't have the luxury to quit"

"I'm excited with the new alliance"

"never been a lover of art but I'd say their paintings are great"

"mm hmm"I replied through a mouthful of sandwich

"how's Brian doing"

my heart skipped a beat,gosh I missed him so much

"he's good, we're good"I added with a smile

  "kk,you deserve to be happy "

"I'll be hosting the event next week and I'm so nervous "

"you'll do great, and you'll have Brian as your tutor,he must be experienced in the field "

gosh he is, he's so domineering and the world seem to tremble at his feet, and to think I haven't told him anything about it, I wish he'll come cheer me on.I don't want to come across clingy but to think I haven't heard anything from the so called ex, she's a bluffer I mused,a friggin bitch and I won't be fazed by her.

It was a day to the exhibition and I was so anxious, I already spoke to Brian and he said the key was being cool,calm and collected

"you need to appear confident baby"
he said

"how can I when I'm anything but confident"I replied

"you should hold their gaze, don't back down and don't forget I'll be there with you"

  "you don't need to, you have lots on your shoulders"I was thrilled by the prospect of seeing him again but I don't want to drive him away from work

"I miss you baby and I can't wait to see you again"

"you've got work to......."

"fuck the work"
