REBORN AGAIN:- Master's Darling Wife

Chapter 52:- A MANIPULATIVE IDIOT

     Logan sat on his leather chair, his gaze seemed unfocused as he thought about a lot of things.
     He remembered that his grandmother had told him to marry Evelyn and take care of Clara.
     He didn't know if they were meant to be or if she even wanted this. He couldn't kick that idiot Tyler out just to replace him, he is better than him.
     "Master, Miss Clara is ready to leave the hospital" Sawyer came to report to Logan who's mood has changing faster than day and night.
     "Hmmm, go pick her up, and let me know once you get there" he finally replied and Sawyer nodded.
     "Master are you sure about bringing Miss Clara to White Pavillion?"he finally mustered courage to ask but the latter lit a cigarette, and walked to the window, where the best view of Country A could be seen.
     "I don't know"he replied honestly and there was a long silence between both men before Sawyer snapped out of it and excused himself to get the job done.
            ****
     Sawyer came into the ward and was surprised to hear Evelyn and Clara's exchange. He also couldn't help but feel terrified listening to the way Evelyn warned her with her deep yet cool voice.
     His eyes met Clara's terrified gaze as she dashed out of the room.
     He entered Evelyn's room and there she sat in her ethereal beauty. She looked so innocent it was difficult to link her to those previous actions.
     "Sawyer morning"she greeted with a joyful smile. They had a nice relationship so it was only natural and compared to Clara, he preferred this lady with many identities and secrets.
     "Good Morning Miss Evelyn. I trust you and a goodnight?”he asked with a polite smile and she nodded enthusiastically.
     "I hope I can leave soon, the hospital is so boring "she said with a groan.
     "Your recovery rate is fast by the end of the week you would be out of here"he told her the good news she has been longing to hear.
     "You should go pick her up, I don't want to delay your work. Knowing Logan, he would do something crazy if you finished late so bye"she said and waved at him with a warm smile on her lips that brightened up the whole room.    
     At a corner, Ava took pictures of this little interaction hoping to put into good use. She had a feeling she was the cause of Laura's negative popularity on the basis that she's dating a gangster. So she would get her revenge for her friend.
      Evelyn sneezed twice. She had a bad feeling at the bottom of her mind but she ignored it. What's so big that she couldn't handle.
     She took her phone and browsed Laura's predicament. She was being scolded and some of her allowances and accounts frozen. This was a punishment to her but to Evelyn it was child's play. 
     There were so many insults it was causing a bad image to the family then the company. Few of their shares had dropped, and an emergency stakeholder meeting is being called. A pretty girl always have her ways of knowing things.
     With a satisfied smile, she called the nurses in to begin their daily dressing and checkup.
     Unexpectedly, it was Ezekiel who walked in alone. He sat before her and crossed his legs, staring at her intently.
     "Morning Second Master"she greeted politely and he only nodded in response.
     "I didn't know Moss Evelyn is such a mysterious and dangerous person"he complimented her. Not sacrasticaly but sincerely.
     "If it that's First Master words then you shouldn't take it to heart"she simply said and poured herself a glass of warm water.
     "Water?"she asked and he shook his head. He just sat silently and stared at her and she wasn't bothered one bit.
     "You sure exercise dominance to scare little Clara like that"he said and she let out a shy smile as if complimented.
     "Why thank you. I try my best everyday to leave a lasting impression"she replied and then rolled her eyes sacrasticaly. She didn't know why all 3 boys mad erge world revolve around her.
     "Well, if Miss Evelyn encounters trouble in the future, she can come to me"he told her and her eyes twitched. This was the second time she was hearing this.
     "Even if it's from Logan"he added and she almost choked on her water. He stared at her for another 5 seconds before walking out, shaking off the deep sense of familiarity away. His younger sister died in the bomb blast ten years ago and they saw her body, she couldn't possibly be Evelyn.
     Taking a deep breath, Evelyn collected her emotions and began playing games when the door opened again and this time it was Logan accompanied by Cole.
     "Did I encounter a lucky charm today or why did the heirs top 4 richest family pay me a visit this early morning "she said enthusiastically. Honestly she was tired of them and wished they'll leave her alone.
     "How are you?" Logan asked sitting on the same chair the rest all sat on. He sensed her displeasure but still carried on.
     "Miss Evelyn it's nice to see you again. Thank you for last time. I apologise that I wasn't able to see you since you had been hospitalized"he told her and she only nodded, popping a lollipop I to her mouth. It was strawberry flavoured and it comforted her soul.
     "Anything else?"she asked referring to their presence in her room. She was impatiently waiting for them to leave so that she could continue her game then maybe watch 'PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER'.
     "What did you do to Clara?" Logan finally asked and Evelyn scoffed in response. "Her hand is swollen"he added and a look of excitement flashed in her eyes.
     "Really? That's nice. What, did she go complain to Brother Logan?. I'm sure she excluded the part when she stepped on the tail of a lion"Evelyn said with a tinge of mockery dancing in her eyes. "I thought you were powerful, looks like you're a tool that can be easily controlled by a weak female"she mocked him and his eyes darkened and other than that, there wasn't any other reaction.
     "If you're looking for someone that'll play a back and forth game with you then you had better leave. I don't play with manipulative idiots"
