Eva McCauley hurried up the stairs of Del Rico Hotels, pausing to catch her breath from time to time, though her heart raced mainly from anticipation, excitement and nervousness.
The lifts were temporarily unusable and being an athletic 5 ft lady, she chose to use the stairs to give her boyfriend a surprise visit.
3rd floor, Room 109.
Eva took in a rushed breath as he arrived, her hands paused midway of knocking when some strange sounds emanated from within.
A woman suddenly shrieked in pleasure.
Moans.
Eva’s breath caught in her throat.
Goodness, let it not be what she was thinking.
She was supposed to be on the plane right now to Ireland but their business partners called to postpone the meeting.
When the moans died down, Eva mustered her trembling hands to knock.
“Who’s there?” A lady giggled from within.
Eva’s heart started racing. “Room service.”
“Huh? Did you order anything?” Eva heard the woman ask faintly.
The next second the door was open and she found herself face to face with a tall woman, her boobs were threatening to spill from the bra.
“Where’s the service?” She asked with raised brows, moving her messy brown hair out of her sweaty face.
Eva could swear that the woman was just done with an intense activity.
“I. . I’m sorry to bother you, but-” The words got stuck in her mouth when Jason’s handsome face appeared.
His eyes was set on the woman’s ass, he spanked it and pressed a kiss to her neck. “Tina. Who’s it?”
“I. . .I-” Tina giggled.
“Jason?” Eva choked in disbelief.
Jason snapped his head up, meeting her dazed eyes at once.
He pulled back, shock on his face. “E. . .Eva. What’re you doing here?”
“You know each other?” Tina asked, turning to face Jason. “Who’s she?”
Jason scratched his head, uncertainty in his eyes.
Eva watched him cast a wary glance at her before answering. “Eva’s actually a colleague. Not important.” He flashed a spiteful smile at her.
All the blood rushed to Eva’s head immediately, she held unto the door for support, her heart pounding so loud in her ears.
That was all she was to him?
Not important?
Tears burned at the back of her eyes, threatening to spill.
Her two years of being with him, the sacrifices she made for him, money time and resources she spent were all not important?
“Jason. I’m not important?” Eva looked into his grey eyes.
Eva actually raced down here to announce the good news to him that she’d gotten a perfect investor for his company and schedule a meeting.
But, Jason was here, messing around with this…
“Eva. It’s wrong for you to barge into someone’s privacy that way.” Tina eyed her.
He didn’t reply her but looked away.
Eva understood.
“You should ask Jason what he’s doing here during work hours,” She wiped her face, refusing to appear weak in front of them.
“What the hell are you-?”
“I’m his Boss!” Eva snapped, running her eyes over the woman.
“What?”
She could see why Jason chose Tina, she was his type of woman. He’d told her this when he was drunk once, that he loved ladies with full breasts and a small brain.
“Expect your sack letter tomorrow.” She glared coldly at him, turning to walk away as if it meant nothing.
But the look on Jason’s face would be forever etched in her mind- hate, anger and malice that morphed on his face just before she twirled.
She held a small glint of hope in her heart that Jason would run after her and tell her that she was the one he loved.
It didn’t happen.
Eva only heard the slam of the door and the sound of Tina’s loud giggles.
Her whole world came crashing down.
She’d been the one to ask Jason out, she couldn’t resist him when he first resumed as an intern. He’d shown equal interest in her after their first night together.
Eva was already madly in love with him that she promoted him to the Assistant Financial Director in a few months.
Just this morning before dropping her off at the airport, Jason made her promise to secure an investor for him in Ireland.
Eva held her hand to her chest, it hurts so much.
She also promised to loan him some money to begin his own company. And she was already guessing names for their babies, their future together planned out in her head after they get married in 2 months.
Tears slipped down without restraints as she hurried along the hall to the lift.
Luckily, it came open as soon as she pressed the button.
Two men were in, they gazed at her in surprise but Eva hid her face. One of them chuckled and she could heard faint whispers and giggled behind her.
“What the hell?” She snapped.
“Huh?” The man behind her asked.
“What’s so funny about seeing a woman in tears?”
“We weren’t talking about you, lady!”
They continued to whisper. She knew they were talking about her.
Eva’s face burned in embarrassment, and she hurried out as soon as the lift opened, praying the tears stay put until she got behind her wheels.
