Chapter Nine

Eva

I’ve spent the last three hours at the office. I know Michelle didn’t ask me to sort out the end of the month invoices last week. I’ve checked every email and every text message and there’s nothing about this. The bitch seriously has it in for me thanks to her jerk-off husband.

I collect the final printout from Michelle’s office when I hear the entrance door. “I’ll be right out,” I yell. Why didn’t I lock the damn thing?

“No need.” I freeze at the sound of Callum’s voice. He fills the doorway to the office and I’m suddenly aware that he’s blocking my exit. “Michelle mentioned you’d messed up again.”

“I didn’t mess up.” I hate that my voice sounds weak.

He smirks. His eyes wander around the office and then land back on me. “She needs staff she can rely on, Eva.”

“She can rely on me. You told her I hit on you,” I say accusingly.

“Maybe I got confused,” he mutters. He steps into the office and closes the door. I take a step back to put some distance between us. I try to stay calm. He wants to intimidate me and I refuse to let him see that he’s getting to me. “You overreacted to my proposition.”

“I don’t think I did.” I move to the door and Callum blocks my path. “I’d like to leave.”

“I’m just here to give you another chance, Eva. I know my proposition was a little out of the blue,” he says. He runs a finger down my arm. “It really would be in your best interest to accept my very generous offer. People beg to get an invite to this place.”

“I’m not interested. Now, let me leave.”

He steps closer and I back up to the desk. I turn my face away and I feel his mouth near my ear. “You’ll regret it, Eva. I can make your wildest fantasies a reality.”

“My fantasy, Callum,” I hiss, “is for you to leave me the fuck alone.”

He laughs and steps back. I rush to the door and yank it open, then grab my bag and leave, not bothering to look back. I call Anna. My hands are shaking so bad that I get her number wrong a few times before I finally hear her voice. It’s such a relief that I burst into tears.

“I’m so sorry,” I sniffle. “I don’t know why I’m upset. I’m heading to Mum’s. Meet me there?”

“I’m on my way,” she says, and I smile because she doesn’t even know the reason I need her, but without questions, she’ll be there.

“Anna,” I add. “Please don’t tell Cree.”

“Okay, I won’t.”

Mum hands me a coffee just as Anna bursts in. She wraps me in a hug. “Oh god, I was so worried. Are you okay?”

“My boss’s husband is an ass. He keeps hitting on me,” I mutter. Mum places Anna’s coffee down and then joins us at the table. “Today, he closed me in the office with him and hit on me again. He didn’t touch me or anything, but he was just .
