Chapter 115 - 115: Engaged
After dropping Selena to her school Daniella decided to have a talk with Evan.
When she arrived at the building, she went straight to the elevator. She wanted to make sure that no one would see her so she disguised herself as one of the cleaners in the building
After stealing a pushcart full of cleaning material, Daniella proceeded to Evan"s office. His secretary who was busy answering the calls didn"t even notice her presence.
As she entered the room, her eyes roamed around. Feeling the irritation of the silicon skin on her body, Daniella removed her shirt and scratched her skin causing the silicon skin to fall to the ground.
She went straight to the adjusted room and took one of Evan"s shirt. Her eyes squinted at the sight of the frame on the wall, she was certain it was not there before.
Her eyes were tired from driving all night but she knew that the photo formed with mosaic was her, a sudden smile curved upon her lips as she walked closer and brushed the top of her finger over the picture.
When her skin itched again, Daniella ran towards the bathroom and took a quick shower.
When she was done, she dried her body and put on Evan"s shirt. She looked at her reflection through the mirror and found her eyes pitch black.
"Where"s the hair drier?" she asked herself as she looked around.
When she couldn"t find what she was looking for, Daniella grabbed the toothbrush she previously used when she stayed in Evan"s office and started brushing her teeth.
Soon she heard the door opening, she quickly ran out of the bathroom to welcome Evan but to her shock, she found her friend Jenna and Glen standing behind Evan.
Even though Daniella didn"t have the energy to read Jenna"s eyes, she knew by the way her face reddened that she was angry.
Daniella flashed a sweet smile despite the toothbrush in her mouth. Jenna was one of her friends, they met after she moved to London, At that time Jenna was just an intern at Lumax and the owner was different.
Daniella was just eighteen when she met Jenna, the woman knew everything about her as they used to live together in London with James and she was the first person she met after moving. Jenna owned the apartment they were living in while James and Daniella were her roommates.
Daniella looked at Jenna with a heaven like-smile on her lips. Jenna was an angel, a hard-working woman but she was treated differently by her previous boss due to her skin color. So, after Daniella saw how hard it was for Jenna to get fair treatment in her job, she decided to step in and help her, but she doesn"t help for free. That time she wanted something too and Jenna was the perfect person who could help her achieve it.
A favor for a favor, Jenna and Daniella became close after the latter bought Lumax and made Jenna the COO.
"Oh G.o.d! Come here you little brat!" Jenna exclaimed pulling Daniella back to reality "I missed you" she continued as she stretched an arm to pull her closer.
Daniella blew out her cheeks when Jenna suddenly smashed her face against her chest. She could not breathe so she tried to pull away but Jenna only tightened her hold on her hair.
"You missed me that much?" Daniella mumbled, it was barely understandable "let me go, are you trying to kill me?" she asked.
But Jenna didn"t let her go and with no option left, Daniella"s hand moved to Jenna"s side and started tickling her.
Jenna took a step back; eyes were narrowed but her lips were beaming a bright smile.
Before Daniella could breathe, Jenna stretched a hand to her ear and started tugging it "You little witch! How could you hide from me huh!" her fingers were tightly pressing on Daniella"s ear, making sure that she felt her anger "you even asked Scott and Robert to hide you! Bratty b.i.t.c.h! Do you know what I"ve gone through while you are running around the world with that oversize t-shirt!"
By the time Jenna let Daniella"s ear go the latter"s ear was red like a tomato.
Daniella rubbed a finger on her ear to soothe the pain, her eyes were slightly wet with tears "I was busy ok? I got a new job!" she yelled at Jenna.
"Job?" confusion crept across Jenna"s face; confusion filled her mind as she knew that Daniella hated the office job "what job?"
With lips pouting a little Daniella replied "babysitter."
Her answer was like a broken stereo that irked Jenna"s ears. She has been working so hard by herself thinking that Daniella needed some time to forget her ex-boyfriend but realizing that she has been spending time roaming around changing jobs, Jenna could not help but batter all the years she wasted working alone.
"You witch!" like an enraged tiger Jenna"s face wrinkled, her hands lifted in the air clenching and itching to pull Daniella"s hair while dragging her out of this building.
She swayed in the sudden grip of anger, her hands went to Daniella"s shoulder and squeezed it until her palms felt her bone.
"ah! Ah!" Daniella complained , a pained expression was visible on her face as she tried to move back to escape Jenna.
But Jenna didn"t let go, instead she used her advantage which was her height and pressed Daniella"s body down to the floor.
"Do you have any idea how much rumors I got because I couldn"t name you in public?" she barked at Daniella.
"People said I seduced the previous owner of the Lumax that"s why he appointed me as the COO!" Jenna"s thin shrill voice was like the cry of expiring mouse, while her fingers punctured on Daniella"s arm.
"Ouch!" Daniella yelled.
Out of nowhere Evan"s voice spoke "Please let her go, you are hurting her!"
Eyes like a cat"s Jenna glared at Evan "Don"t get involved Mr. Su, this is none of your business" she then turned to Daniella while her teeth biting her lower lips.
"You are in my office Ms. Marcus and you are hurting my girlfriend , I have my lawyer here and if you don"t let her go we are going to press charges against you " his threat was cold just like the stares he was throwing at her.
Meanwhile after hearing that Jenna"s body stiffened. Her hand loosened its grip on Daniella"s arm and switched her confused eyes between Daniella and Evan.
Raising a finger Jenna pointed it at Daniella, she had a look of disillusionment in her eyes as her sight ended at Daniella.
"Your boyfriend?" her head was tilted a little in perplexity "are you sure?"
Daniella nodded while her hands were ma.s.saging her arms which have handprints from Jenna"s grip earlier "Yes."
"It"s impossible " Jenna said absently.
Daniella rose a brow "really? Am I that ugly to you?"
Jenna"s face flattened as she looked at Daniella, she realized that her face was just as the same as before, so young and beautiful "no, I mean. I met James"s mother and I am pretty sure she told me that you and James are engaged. I thought you two were really back together."
Daniella swiftly turned to look at her side, her face elevated to meet Evan"s eyes only to see him looking at her like a dead leaf "really?" his voice was like the clap of thunder causing Daniella"s skin to shiver.
