Chapter 407
However, Evangeline just could not let go!
They had shared nights of fiery passion, deep conversations that bared their souls. She had once held the heart of the man she adored. How could she just erase such treasured memories?
Before she knew it, winter had crept into Avalon City.
Minnie had used the excuse of delivering documents to Walter to camp out in the CEO’s office all day. The secretaries were murmuring their disapproval, but David smoothed things over.
David did not want to clean Minnie’s messes, especially when Walter doted on her way more than he did on Evangeline from the Gordon family, or even Julia.
However, there he was, dealing with the fallout, all because Walter’s office was the coziest spot during the biting winter. Minnie, always playing up how frosty she was, had ditched all pretenses and practically moved in, spending her days with Walter and David.
David was sick of her constant chatter, her relentless pursuit of their boss‘ attention. Nonetheless, Walter remained calm, often dropping his work to calm her and keep her company.
They were practically inseparable, and it drove David nuts. He had even caught flak from Walter for not catering to Minnie’s whims.
However, this particular day was shaping up to be anything but typical.
Minnie twirled into the office, her purple dress swirling around her and the new fur coat Walter had gifted her draped elegantly over her shoulders. She had a way of moving that turned heads, and this day was no exception.
“Walter, can I take the afternoon off, pretty please?” she asked sweetly, cutting through the silence of Walter’s focused work.
She caught his eye and, without waiting for an answer, slipped her arm through his. “I’m going to the mall with the girls later. You won’t mind holding down the fort here by yourself, will you?”
Her cheek brushed against his arm, her eyes wide and innocent, the very picture of cuteness.
David, who had been quietly fuming in the background, scowled. Was he invisible or something? Was not he also part of this office, working with the boss?
Walter looked up slowly, his deep, dark eyes giving nothing away. “So, I’m slaving away here while you’re out shopping? You sure you can handle leaving me all alone?”
He lingered on the word ‘handle‘ as if it were a challenge, a hook that caught Minnie right in the feels.
Whether it was Julia or Minnie, neither had ever been in a relationship with someone like Walter. She had not expected him to be so… needy.
Even at her own home, Walter’s concern for her safety meant there was always a bodyguard lurking. Her life, both personal and professional, was completely wrapped up in Walter’s world.
