Evangeline Mayford

I made tea for myself since I can't sleep. I've been having trouble sleeping since I was a kid and I always need sleeping pills. Silas must having a bad day today, he looked so down and sad.

"You're not going to sleep?" I almost spilled my tea when he suddenly came out from the room.

"I can't sleep, you go sleep first." I said as I turned around and he grabbed an empty glass to drink some water.

"Let's go to sleep, we're two days away. I bet you won't like it if you look like a panda on your wedding day." I chuckled when he said that.

"I'll be fine." I said and he drank his water. He walked over to me and grabbed my cup putting it on the kitchen table. He brought me to my room and made me sleep on my side. He then laid on the other side.

"Silas, I'll just watc-" Before I can finish my sentence, Silas pulled me towards him. He circled his arm around my body and pulled the blanket up to my chin.

"Sleep, Angel. I don't want my wife be looking like panda on my wedding day." He said and then he started to patt my back. I closed my eyes and I fell asleep right away.

"Angel.. Angel.." I opened my eyes slowly and my eyes was hit by the sunlight making me close my eyes again.

"Hmm?"

"I think we need to wake up, it's almost 10." Silas said and I sat up slowly. I turned to Silas and pulled my hand away from his body. He sat up slowly too and I turned to the clock.

I was surprised that I woke up 10 in the morning. This is a new record for me after years not being able to sleep more than 4 hours a day. I slept from 1 am to 10 am.

"What's your plan for today?" He said.

"I have work." I said simply as I slowly got off the bed.

"What time will you finish?" He asked and I turned to him.

"I have meetings today, I'll come home late." I said as I started to remembering the schedule.

"Okay." He said and I walked into the bathroom to take shower. I'm already late anyways so might as well take it slow. I got ready pretty quickly despite taking my time. I changed into my office attire and walked out from the bedroom to rush out.

"I make your lunch, take it with you." Silas said as he gave me a brown bag.

"Uhmm okay." I grabbed the bag and quickly put on my shoes. I grabbed my car keys and walked to the door.

"Ange- I mean Eva!" I turned to Silas and he gestured me to come to him.

"What?" I asked and he checked the bandages on my neck. I glared at him and he chuckled.

"Go.. you'll be late." He said and I nodded. I walked out from my penthouse and went straight down to the basement. I got into my car and drove straight to the office.

Silas Quinton

I spent my time at her penthouse to make new recipe. I was busy with work too and have lots of video calls with my manager in Dubai. I was taking notes at the living room when Angel's maids started to clean up the kitchen. I told them that I'll take care of it.

"Oh.. do you know if Evangeline has.. allergies or maybe.. food that she likes?" I asked them as they helped me to put some clean dishes back.

"She never really eats, Mr. Quinton. She usually eats one three bites but from what I remember, she doesn't like heavy food that much. She eats desserts more than anything." One of them said.

"I see."

"She likes to make cakes and she only eat a bite and share the rest with us." The other one said and I smiled.

"Thankyou for the information." I said.

"We're glad that you're here, Mr. Quinton. Ms. Mayford is a little bit happier than before." The black haired girl said and the other one looked at her weirdly.

"She has no friends and families?" I asked and they shook their head.

"She's close with Nancy and she was her nanny since she was a baby. Nancy moved to Seattle already since her daughter is a successful stylist now."

"Thankyou so much for the information." I smiled and they excused themselves. I continued to work and make some new recipe in her kitchen.

She likes dessert.

That explains all the ice creams, chocolates and cookies in the fridge. I can't even imagine how lonely she is when she has no friends and family to be with. It's kinda obvious that her parents don't really care about her.

She was raised very wrongly and very tough by her parents that it made her like this. She's not a bad person, she just doesn't know how to socialize and how to treat people.

It's 8 o'clock already and I decided to call her.

"Hello."

"Where are you?" I asked.

"Uhmm.. I just finish my meeting."

"You'll come home after this?"

"No, uhmm.. I still have some things to do. You can sleep first, I'll be home a little late." She said in an awkward tone.

"Okay then." I said and she ended the call. I packed some of my food and decided to bring back home to my parents' house.

"Good timing, S. I was so hungry after having that long ass meeting." Sean said and I chuckled.

"Tell me if it's good or not, I want to add it to the menu." I said and he nodded.

"Where are you going?"

"Going to drop some food to Evangeline, she's working overtime." I said and Sean gave me a teasing look.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, just tell her I say hi." I nodded and drove away. I went straight to her office and parked my car in the basement. I went up to the lobby and called her number.

"Can you send someone to pick me up at the lobby?" I asked as soon as she picked up.

"You're downstairs?" She asked in a disbelief tone.

"Yeah."

"Wait.. I'll go down." She ended the call and I waited for her near the lift. After waiting for 5 minutes, she came out from the lift and she smiled widely when she saw me. I raised the brown paper bag and gave it to her.

"What is it?"

"I made some food, trying for new recipes. How about you try it and let me know?" I asked and she looked at it for a few seconds.

"Let's go upstairs, I'll show you my office." She put her card to let me in and we walked into the lift. She let out a long sigh as she leaned to the lift wall.

"You're tired?"

"A little bit, but not really. I'm used to it." She said and we walked out once we arrived at her office floor. There's a lot of clothes, like a lot. There are some people still working overtime too.

She opened the door to her office and let me in.

"Nice office."

"Yeah.. this is where I spend most of my time." She said and I looked around. I noticed a lot of things once I looked around. She often sleeps here, there's a lot of blankets and pillows on the sofa. There's a lot of coffee too.

She sat on the sofa and started opening the paper bag. She took out all of it.

"Have you eat dinner?" I asked and she shook her head.

"I have no time, I have to finish all the work before the wedding." I sat beside her and she started eating the food without saying another word.

"Let's go to the hospital tomorrow." I said and she turned to me. She shook her head.

"Angel."

"I can take it off tomorrow, I don't need to go there again." She said as she kept eating.

"Stubborn.." I hissed.
