The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

CHAPTER 26

Evelyn's POV

I am trying my luck one more time by going to Aidan's office. My plans aren't easy to execute and I am left with trying to convince him to do my bidding once more before I do my worst. I wonder why he isn't even bothered about having a baby. I thought he was going to find me or call me or something but he did nothing and it is pissing me off.

I am losing patience. I thought of disguising myself to allow for easy entrance into his office, impersonating one of the people he is going to have a meeting with this morning. But I decided to go as Evelyn.

I don't want to show him how desperate I am. He need not know so he can succumb to my wish, eventually.

I gave the receptionist another wad of notes so she could let me in. I move out of the elevator and walk to the secretary's desk. If she doesn't allow me in, I will burst into his office. I am determined to finalize everything today.

"Hello", I greet, with a smile. The girl at the desk raises her head. She isn't the lady from the other time. My heart swells in joy. 

This will make my plan easier, I thought.

"Hi, ma'am", she greets back. "How can I help you?"

"I have a 10 am appointment with your boss, is he in?" I ask politely.

"10 am appointment?" She looks into the file in front of her. I am praying that there is an appointment fixed for 10 since it is a few minutes to the time. I know if there is no fixed appointment for this time, she won't let me in.

"Are you Mrs. Madeline?" She asks me, raising her head.

"Yes, dear", I flash her a smile. She isn't acting professional and I am wondering if she is the new secretary. She doesn't look like someone who is used to the things around here.

"Welcome, ma'am. You can go in, the boss is inside", she stands up and leads me to the office adjacent to her desk.

"Thank you", I show her my appreciation.

When we get to the door, she turns back to go. 

"Hey, are you the new secretary? Your face looks new."

She smiles and clutch her hands together. "No, ma. My sister is the secretary. She is in the washroom." She informs me.

"Oh!" I wave her away and knock on the door. I need to be fast about everything before the secretary sees me.

"Come in", I hear Aidan say.

I open the door and stride in with a confident gait. "Hello to you, Aidan Alvarez."

His bent head is hoisted up to see me. The furrowed countenance changes into a smirk. "Hello to you too, Evelyn Gomez."

I didn't tell him my full name the last time we met, I only told his receptionist. I am quite surprised that he knows. I am also surprised that he is smirking instead of shouting at me to get out. I flop heavily into the seat opposite him.
