Sara coughed first and then started, “Sorry for that, babe, but you cannot blame us for our assumption as we were just gossiping or, better say, having fun. How could we know you are so serious about this...

“Hmm, ok, I am at fault too."

“All the girls smiled at their cute friend and returned to the major topic

“So you are going for the event. God, I am so jealous of you, girl, now that you befriended Steve. Good going, baby. well don’t mind us but at this type of party they only allow couples, right? “joey asked in excitement

“Hmm,sure. not sure. “Eva shrugged her shoulders

“But what if you have to go like that? I mean, with whom you will go. “

“Of course, Steve. But I don’t think there is some rule like this, so don’t start making assumptions again in your stupid brain."

Chapter 21: The Dance

Eva was getting ready for the party and Kathey was helping her out, whereas Steve was also excited to attend the party with Eva.

But he didn’t have the slightest idea that his brother has some other plans for him

Steve was almost ready when a phone call disturbed him. It was his secretary, and she informed him about a meeting with investors who were going to leave. So he needed to attend to this one. Steve couldn’t afford to refuse this meeting, as these investors were important for his upcoming project. So he informed his mother and left for his meeting, although he was feeling bad that he would not accompany Eva. but he is going to join the party later, after the meeting will be over.

Eva reached the living room all dressed up in the beautiful gown, Rose and William were already waiting for the other members so that they could start for the party.

Eva also joined them.

Shortly Stephen also joined them. He was looking handsome in that custom-made suit

Eva avoided looking at him as she feared her hormones and didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of the Smith couple. As she clearly remembers how his looks affected her in the changing room of the store

“Mom, dad, I think we should leave now."

“But Steve is not here yet, “Eva inquired

‘He is not coming with us as he has some urgent work. She “Stephen stated in a hard tone

Eva was shocked and depressed, as she was expecting Steve to accompany her. She doesn't like this type of party, but she was relieved that Steve would be splendid company for her. However, now all her plans are ruined, and she feels like she will die of boredom at the party.

Rose noticed Eva’s sad face, so she tried to cheer her up

“Don’t worry, he will join us at the party soon.”

“No, it’s not that... you inform us that only couples are allowed at this party, so I thought I would accompany Steve but neverok... I think I should stay back You all carry on. ‘

Rose flashed a smile at her. "You don’t have to worry about that either, as Stephen will accompany you. Ok. Now come on, as we should leave for the party.

It frightened Eva to know this, as the person she avoided the most this evening was the only one who was accompanying her to the party.

William noticed the look on her face. “Any problem, dear ?‘

‘ No, I am ok,' Eva tried to convince

‘Stephen, take good care of Eva. ok... Now let’s leave. We are already late.'

Stephen gave a nod to his dad, and soon they settled in their cars. Eva was traveling with Stephen. He was sitting beside her. Eva aimed to keep a safe distance between them.

Stephen was still recalling how she got upset when she was informed about Steve’s absence. At this moment, Stephen was cursing his brother for getting so close to Eva. It was like he had spelt some magic on her; they were both were behaving like BFFs

It well designed the interior of the expensive car for comfort, but it was not helping Eva. Her face was sweating because of anxiety. She was just wishing the journey would end soon. She already decided that she would try her best to return with Steve from the party.
