Thirty Dates

Chapter 3. Eva/Adam.

Eva chewed her nails waiting for Adam Miller in his office at reception area, her legs bouncing off beat and she forced herself to listen to some music to calm her nerves, yet, she could hear non stop ringing phones employees marching in and out with files and folders. Water tap running at the near end of the small gallery next to reception desk.

She checked her watch and she was here for full two hours. She walked to reception and asked.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Miller still in the office or he already left it's five" Eva asked with an icy tone this time.

The receptionist with her unfazed smile replied smoothly "He is still in the office Miss, would you like another coffee, he shall see you shortly."

"No thank you" Eva replied and walked back to her seat, she look at the reception area they were few other people waiting and few of them were called and many of them left. She need to be patient here.

Eva nearly reached lala land of dreams when she heard her name being called. "Miss Eva Martin"

Eva's eyes snapped open on hearing her name she abruptly stood up and  fixed her hair and walked briskly towards the reception, the receptionist lead her inside the office few cubicle all separate from each other, with dark carpets beneath two huge glass offices on both the ends of the huge floor,she took a left turn and I followed her step by step taking in the view.

Adam Miller, senior publisher. Was engraved on the glass door.

Eva knocked the door soundly and Adam looked up from his screen his hands still typing fire on keyboard, he signaled Eva to come in.

Taking a lung full of air she pushed the door and went inside.

Bare, nothing. In his whole wide office nothing except for his huge black table and two chairs Infront of him, his working computer and a laptop on his front, a minimal folders on his desk and a small  carpet beneath his desk area.

He rose from his chair and extended his hand "Adam Miller" he said in clear tone.

"Eva Martin" Eva clasped his huge hand. He shook it once and release it.

"Forgive me Miss Martin, is your father in real estate?" Adam asked politely.

"I guess my name gave away, yes. He is." Eva gave a hard smile. Every time. No matter where she went her  name was enough to raise heads.

"Not my intention, but he is a known man." Adam smiled a little.

"I have read your work Miss Martin, and I am impressed" Adam started their brief conversation.

"Thank you" Eva responded easily.

"Tho, your writing has many lose treads which can be amended, a weak plot at the begging but later it holds a proper interest" Adam continued.

Eva listened to him holding her breath.

"You know your area, is triller your favourite Genre?" Adam asked her.

Eva kept staring into his amber gold eyes deeply not Caring to reply, Emily wasn't wrong he is actually quite hot.

"Miss Martin?" Adam furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yes. Yes. It is my you can say passion" Eva conclueded hurriedly.

"Your writing is fresh granted with many flaws" Adam commented Eva nodded too nervous to counterbalance his jabs.

"Let's come to the big question shall we. You need to hear that, this has been repeated many times for you I may presume" Adam said with an edge.

"Yes. What have you thought about that book" Eva finally asked a question.

"Do you have a name for the book?" Adam asked.

Eva licked her lips and nodded her head in negative, she had but she wasn't sure about it.

Adam had a plan running in his head faster than his beloved Bugatti , Eva was a smart writer he knew it when he picked up her book to read from her manuscript, he picked it up when he was dying from boredom at last Tuesday night.

Too tired to work and not too beat to sleep he simply opened one random drafts from his bag and started reading, it was a pain in the beginning all books are. Characters are slow, the writing is dull introduction and story building it takes time.

This book was nothing new it was slow and dull later in the next few chapters the hunt began, the crime and murder and the motive behind the death of one of the most poignant character was exciting and something off the table.

Adam loves mysteries and good thriller leaves him in Good mood for the rest of the day, this unedited and undrafted book with million mistakes and grammatical errors left him in same joy and he was happily Puzzled with the outcome.

He read the whole book in one night and corrected the manuscript all the way next day he in rolled the book at his "green list" with a go sign and later read the name of the author "Eva Martin"

He asked to in list this book for an round interview and so they are here. But he didn't come up with this idea.

This idea which took in his mind not an hour ago, which was slowly Turning into his escape route of his spread mess.
