A bead of sweat rolled down her temple and to her jaw. Eve quickly rubbed her jaws on her shoulder, without jiggling the cake she was working on.

579Please respect copyright.PENANAcDdvlnqtat
Her client, Avery Erickson was an artist herself and sketched the cake for Eve and genuinely, Eve appreciated the girl for lessening her workload but the design was a pain in the ass, with intricate sugar paste flowers and edible beads..
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUMTxA4qqnI
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1IwQPIJisd
Eve straightened her back after pushing in another flower into the cake. She groaned as her back popped and in the back of her mind, Eve decided to hit back at the gym. She's so awfully out of shape.579Please respect copyright.PENANAnpbv4B6lFY

Eve pressed her lips into a thin line and walked out of the room and went straight to the small office. It's where she met with clients. She made a face at the mess. Crumbled papers littered the polished wooden floor. The wastebasket in the corner was filled to the brim with papers and her table was a disaster.579Please respect copyright.PENANAgL9FYrFCjx

The door opened and a young man walked in. He maybe in his thirties, with thick black hair and bright green eyes. He had a huge grin plastered on his face and automatically, a small smile appeared on her face. She like pleasant clients, but the smile dropped into a frown when she saw who walked in after him.579Please respect copyright.PENANAg84F1OY9w8

"Ah, Mr. Williams, please take a seat", her eyes flew over to Adam, who was still staring at her, with his hands pushed into the pockets of his black slacks. The first few buttons of his blue shirt was undone and she saw a black ink peeking out. 579Please respect copyright.PENANAbmG0HMGWvc

Eve cleared her throat. "My mum used to say that", she mumbled, more to herself. Her eyes lifted and Adam's eyes trailed down, lingering at the opal locket of her chain. Eve thought she saw the start of a smile but it disappeared as soon as it came and his face was once again stoic.579Please respect copyright.PENANAshudkQCLZT

"I know enough", his eyes were on her hand that was now around the locket and her stomach knotted uncomfortably. No one else other than Sam knew about the locket.

Unfazed, Adam straightened up and she breathed out in relief but it was short lived as her eyes fell upon the person who was standing by the door. Daniel frowned at Adam's back and his eyes widened when the latter turned on his heels. Adam didn't even glanced at Daniel as he walked towards the door but stopped by the threshold, looking over his shoulder. "I will see you tomorrow Genevieve" and he was gone. 579Please respect copyright.PENANANBmHuoodyH

She said after quenching her thirst. She contemplated whether to call Sam and tell her what happened. She was going to flip for sure but Eve was not sure. She was in this mess and Eve don't want her best friend to be involved.579Please respect copyright.PENANAy0CPy44FAx

Unmistakable anger shone through his face. "Like hell it's not my business!", his fist collided with the table. The tremor rocked the contents and her bottle toppled over, rolling down to the floor.579Please respect copyright.PENANAr35l5D5njH

Her voice came out quite. But she could feel it unveiling in her chest, the anger. Frustration. Betrayal. Grief. Everything aimed at the man in front of her. The man whom she loved. Or did she? She was unsure about it now.579Please respect copyright.PENANAHHH3jwoTIh
