Chapter 138: Craving For Something Else
Benjamin cleared his throat, feeling the most embarrassed among the group. While the young women around couldn’t hold back their squeals as if they were seeing their favorite idol, the male staff couldn’t help but compare themselves to the Greek god on the screen. Honestly, he looked just out of their league!
"Erm... Let’s take a break," Benjamin said, standing up. The butler stepped forward to escort his master to the tea room, while the staff all focused their attention on Evelyn.
Quickly disconnecting her phone from the screen, Evelyn hastily stood and hurried out of the mansion. Rita rushed after her but stopped at a distance when Evelyn turned and glared at her. It wasn’t exactly Rita’s fault, but Evelyn felt like digging a hole to hide herself.
"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, Madam. The boss has such a hot body that everyone was drooling over him, especially the ladies," Rita beamed, though her smile faltered under Evelyn’s serious glare.
No! His body was reserved for her alone to admire!
"I-I’ll get you something to drink," Rita stammered, backing away as Evelyn’s expression darkened, two imaginary horns practically appearing on her head. Rita turned and hurried back inside, escaping the wrath of the angry wife.
Evelyn huffed, her initial shame replaced by frustration. Rita’s words echoed like a broken record, fueling her irritation. Images of women flocking around him at the office replayed in her mind. With a cry of annoyance, she placed one hand on her waist, running the other through her hair. Her period was only making things worse!
Just then, Zevian’s call flashed on her phone. Picking it up, she turned on FaceTime, her eyes scanning his surroundings to make sure her imagination wasn’t reality. Seeing him alone in their room, she sighed in relief.
"What’s wrong?" Zevian asked, a frown creasing his brow. She looked so flustered that he thought she might be coming down with a fever. It was only the second day, but maybe she’d overworked herself.
