The Greek Tycoon's Baby

Chapter 3: The meeting

Evelyn's POV

I can't understand him at all in this kind of situation. When he is on his business mode, I can see through him perfectly. I can easily say what he thinks of doing. But not on this case. Whenever the subject turns to our wedding, he becomes a stranger to me. This morning I agreed to his proposal and in the middle of the day he calls me to tell me that in the afternoon we, together with the best man and the maid of honor, are meeting. I don't even remember giving him my number. The only number he has is my apartment's. He said the purpose of this meeting is to discuss our wedding. He demanded to meet at one of his meeting rooms in the company instead of another place and he hung up before I could utter one word. Maybe he did that so he can show me that I am only the mother of the heir of Alexander Stefopoulos. Even if it is like this, even if it hurts me a lot, he should at least be a little respectful if not to me but to my best friend and not making us wait. He is already in her black list. With this he may climbed a couple of ranks in her list. Nadia is known for her impatience.

''Eve, I swear if he doesn't show up in the next few minutes, I'm going to leave. We came here to talk and Mr. Alexander and his supposed to be best man are running late. Ten minutes have already passed.'' Nadia said.

I chose Nadia as my maid of honor. She is a person I trust not to tell anyone about the truth behind this marriage. Also, when we became best friends we promised each other that when one of us get married the other one will be the maid of honor. Whether the wedding is fake or not, it's still a wedding. 

''I know, Nadia. I hope he has a good reason for being late or I might kill him myself.'' I said.

After the meeting with Alexander this morning I don't know why but my patience was very little and my nerves were worse than any other time. Right now I am in the verge of destroying something. My first option is this room.

''Who you might kill, Evelyn?'' a sexy voice said from behind me.

I turned to see Alexander and as always he was looking like a god.

''How thoughtful of you to come, Mr. Alexander.'' Nadia said sarcastically.

''Nadia!'' I warned.

''I was the one that invited you. But can you wait a little more for Owen to come?'' Alexander asked politely.

But I knew better. I could recognize the look in his eyes. It was the one he had every time he was angry or displeased about something. He didn't like at all Nadia's tone. This was the second time in these last two days that someone, and moreover a woman, talked to him that way. The first one was me and now Nadia.

''He should hurry up because we left the café to David and we told him that we'll be back in a couple of hours.'' Nadia replied.

''I'm here.'' said a voice as the door opened.

We turned to see the person that came. When I saw him, I knew that the meeting was going to be full of yelling.

''What is the idiot doing here?'' Nadia said as she stood up from her chair.

''What is the crazy woman doing here?'' the voice of the man said the same time as Nadia.

I knew that voice. It belonged to Alexander's partner and best friend, Owen Carson. I knew him a little bit. I helped him sometimes when Alexander didn't need me and Owen helped me when Alexander was too much. He had exactly the same character as Alexander in social level, but from what I've witnessed he wasn't so ruthless in meetings and generally in business as Alexander. Alexander was called the devil in the shipping industry. Some people thought that he is in the mafia.
