Eve unlocked the front door of her apartment.
The light inside the living room greeted her. She checked around the area. Nothing seemed out of place. She left her shoes at the rack and quickly climbed up the stairs. The hardwood felt cold under her feet.
A yawn escaped her lips.
She parted ways with her boss around 2200 hours. One perk she liked about her job was the car. To make it convenient for her, the company provided her one. It was a silver BMW M3. She loved it from first sight. She loved the interior, the speed, the grp...
Not everyone shared her sentiments.
The model didn't compare to a Mercedes or another luxurious convertible but she found it more reliable than most. The company also paid for its conditioning. With an offer like that, how could she complain?
It was reliable.
It was completely free.
Those were good enough for Eve.
She reached her room and turned on the lights. Walking inside, she shrugged off the coat and hanged it. Her arms stretched upwards and tightened her muscles. It felt good. She rolled her shoulders, relaxing the stress and tension. She repeated it a few more times.
Then, Eve headed for a quick shower and change of clothes.
Stars blanketed the night sky. The twinkled quietly without the pale moon. The bright city glares fought for dominance. They illuminated the streets, even covering high grounds. Lamps, cars and windows contributed to the gleaming glow.
Because of it, the place seemed to stay awake.
That included Eve.
The clock on her wall said that midnight had passed. She lied on her bed, covered from chest to toes. Her brown eyes blinked at the ceiling. Her body craved for sleep. Her mind desired the opposite. It raced with endless thoughts.
'If you accept this job, I'll give you enough money to fund their high school years. If you get chosen by my son, I'll also fund their college years in any university. I asked him to date for nine months, finish that… and I'll double the second offer.'
The offer swirled in her head. It circulated her consciousness. She did a calculation. Depending on what her sisters wanted, it would take until they graduated university for her to quit this job. She had hoped that she'd be promoted before that. It would lessen the time needed to save up.
She'd love to pool all her salary for the education fund. Except, she had other concerns. She paid for their various insurance, mostly medical. She also split the bills with Andie. Someday, her best friend would marry and move out. She needed to be ready for it.
Eve groaned, turning to her side.
She pulled the pillow case and covered her face.
The temptation was too strong.
Her need for a high pay was for that education fund. If she accepted Avery's offer, it would put her at ease. Merely joining the site already gave her guarantee. It would be up to her boss if she'd get the second or third offer.
"Of all people, why did it have to be Sir Hathaway?" Eve mumbled against the pillow. "Why couldn't it have been some other guy? Someone I didn't have a working relationship with?"
She wouldn't be this conflicted if it was someone else.
Eve shifted her head until she faced the ceiling again.
She puffed her cheeks and let the air out through closed lips.
It was going to be a long night ahead.
