"Well, can you keep it low? That bastard can hear you very -" Evangeline widened her eyes before looking at Alexander and smiling at him apologetically.
"I mean, Mr. Alexander can hear you very well," she quickly changed her sentences.
"Does it look like I care? You tell me what you are doing with that bastard, or I am coming there right now and taking you back home. Do you want that?" James asked, and Evangeline's hand clenched around the phone as she tried to keep her polite facade as much as possible.
"Have you lost your mind, James? What is this foul language you are using? Don't you have any manners?" Evangeline bowed apologetically to Alexander as an awkward chuckle left her mouth.
"What foul language -"
Evangeline didn't hear the rest of the sentence and ended the call with a sigh.
She turned to Alexander, wanting to explain that James wasn't like this at all and she doesn't know why he was hyperactive like this, but before she could do that, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
Who could be calling her now? Could it be that recruiter lady? She narrowed her eyes and picked up the call, placing it near her ears.
"How dare you cut the call?" James asked, his voice much calmer than before, and Evangeline sighed before leaning on the window sill.
"What do you want to hear, James? That Mr. Alexander seduced me, and now we are going to his office to have some fun?" Evangeline asked, and the secretary looked at the lady in the backseat in horror.
This madam, whoever she was, doesn't have a filter on her mouth, does she? He prayed that his boss doesn't become angry at such lewd words. He turned his gaze to his boss warily, but what he saw was clearly more surprising.
Alexander was sitting there with his eyes closed and a smirk was playing on his lips.
The boss wasn't offended? He was smiling? The secretary widened his eyes and sat straight in his seat. Is there something going on that he doesn't know of? Normally if this would have been anyone else, he would have thrown the girl out of the car just for using his name like this and -
The secretary's eyes watered a bit and his lips trembled. Now he understands everything. He was doing this all for his younger brother. So that he can study well without any distractions from girls.
Just how thoughtful he was! The secretary wiped his invisible tears, and the driver looked at him with a quirked brow.
The driver - "..." What is going on here that is worth crying? Aren't you being a bit too dramatic?
"Eva, stop this nonsense. I know that you'll do anything but go to the office with that bastard to have some fun. He is not even your type. You hate dominating men like him," James muttered, saying the exact reason Evangeline had rejected so many bosses before.
"Is that so?"
It was Alexander who spoke this time, and Evangeline's pupils dilated when he took the phone from her hand.
"James,"
"Alexander, what the hell are you doing with my girl? Look, if you have any lead thoughts going inside your head, you better stop thinking -"
"My girl? So she is your girl?" Alexander asked, his gaze shifting to Evangeline, making a blush creep up her neck.
Evangeline -"..." Seriously? That's the most important thing? He is threatening you over nothing. Can you focus on that part? She wanted to groan in annoyance. This wasn't how she had planned her evening for sure.
"I am giving a lift to your girl to her new part-time job location. If you have any doubts. You can come and check for her there. Also, the word you used to call me, you know what kind of consequences you would've, right? Asshole?" Alexander spoke as calmly as ever, and Evangeline looked at him in awe.
This was the first person she saw after a really long time who could execute this kind of dominance and power while staying so calm.
The first person she saw was... Herself?
She nodded at herself before looking at Alexander who suddenly looked at her, his intense gaze catching her off-guard.
"Don't worry. Your girl would definitely be safe with me. I am not going to let her get hurt, at least until she is with me," Alexander said before tossing the phone to Evangeline, who placed the phone near her ears.
"A new part-time job? Seriously? What do you lack? You have the entire empire kissing your boots if you say yes, and you want to look for a hard job?" James asked, his words irking Alexander.
What was that sentence supposed to mean?
Does she already have a suitor who is ready to give her everything? If that's the case, she is definitely not behind Justin or him for money. Power is not in question either.
Does that mean she is really not a bad girl, and everything that happened in the past was just a coincidence?
"Shut up. And don't mention it again. I am ending the call now. I have an interview. Don't ruin it for me," Evangeline muttered before ending the call when the driver jerked the car to the side, making her widen her eyes.
Her body jerked to the side and forward, and her head would've definitely hit the front seat if not for Alexander, who held her waist right in time and pulled her back, close to him.
"What is it?" Alexander's eyes narrowed.
"Sorry, sir. A rash bike racer just overtook us, and I would've almost hit him. I'll be careful," The driver said, quickly averting his gaze when he saw the scene in the back seat.
Meanwhile, Evangeline, who was shocked, more by his hand on her waist, lying there so protectively and intimately, gulped before looking up.
"Thank you," She said, very well aware of the heat that was seeping from his hand to her waist, making her heart beat against her chest.
She looked into his eyes that were looking at her.
No.
They were observing her, as if trying to find something as their faces remained only a few inches away, his cologne making her want to run her hand on his chest.
He sighed and nodded before he loosened his right grip on her waist and let her go.
"It's okay. It was the driver's fault anyway," He said, and Evangeline hummed, her ears and cheeks red from embarrassment and shyness.
She didn't expect anything like that at all!!!
This Cane Brother is definitely the hottest of the three. Hottest, and definitely her type.
This just ruins everything for her.
