Chapter 114 - 114: Jenna Marcus

Stretching a hand, Evan picked up his phone from the coffee table in Daniella\'s living room and checked if she messaged or called but the only call he received was from Kirby.

His phone was bombarded with messages from Kirby, he opened the first one and felt an incredible heat passing his body.

\'Lumax Corp. COO will drop today in the office before going back to London later.\'

For a moment, he suddenly forgot the reason why he didn\'t have any good sleep in the last two days.

Like a tornado, Evan got up and went to the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and replaced his clothes with the clothes he had left from the last time he stayed at Daniella\'s apartment.

Before leaving the apartment, he left a note on the coffee table.

\'I\'ll be at the office.\' He wrote down and sighed. He felt a strange emptiness inside, even though he was about to meet one of the biggest clients their bank could possibly have, his mind was not even satisfied with it.

He left the apartment with heavy feet, he wished to stay to see her the moment she stepped inside but he has a job to do and this time, it was an important one.

On the other side when Daniella arrived in the capital city she dropped Ken at the front gate of his house. To make sure that he won\'t make a fuss about her hitting him, she let him sniffed the propofol she sprayed in her handkerchief causing him to sleep more.

She rang the bell once and waited for the sound of the footsteps and when she heard it, she immediately ran back to her car and left Ken sleeping with his back against the gate wall.

Until now, she hadn\'t turned on her phone, she was uncertain how many calls she received but she didn\'t even want to open her phone.

With her current job as a sitter, Daniella went straight to the Villa to drop Selena at her school. She hadn\'t slept even for an hour and the only thing that kept her awake was the coffee she drunk as she drove back to the city

--

Standing by the door of the SU villa, Selena had her face screwed with irritation, she was unsure what was happening between her sitter and her uncle but their fight was affecting her and now if her sitter won\'t arrive, she\'ll be late for school.

\'Should I ask Anders to drive me?\' she asked, her eyes turned into different direction hoping to see Anders but he was nowhere to be found.

Her feet moved as soon as she saw a car entering the gate, from the distance, she could see that the driver was her sitter.

Pouting her lips, Selena waited for the car to stop in front of her and as it did Daniella opened the passenger seat and asked her to get it.

Selena got in and as soon as she put on her seatbelt Daniella drove away at full speed causing her hand to hold onto her seatbelt tightly.

Daniella drove as if they were in a race, at this speed Selena knew that they would reach the school in time if not even earlier.

"Daniella!" she shouted.

"What?" Daniella shouted back.

"If you and uncle are fighting, can you not include me? I am too young to die!!! Ahh!!!" a loud scream roared from Selena\'s mouth when Daniella overtook the sixteen wheeler truck in front of them.

"If we don\'t rush we will be late" Daniella shouted once again, face so serious.

"Please… I rather be late than dead, oh my god! Daniella watch out!" Selena screeched when they almost hit the car in front of them.

"I got it!" she replied confidently.

Selena decided to shut her mouth, if she didn\'t , Daniella might lose her concentration and both of them would end up in the hospital with a broken body and destroyed face.

Selena\'s face was whiter than the sheet of paper when they arrived at her school. Her hands trembling uncontrollably reached for the door and opened it like a zombie.

"I\'ll pick you up later!" Daniella stated.

Blinking her eyes, Selena turned hastily at her, "no, I will take a taxi, just go and fix your problem with my uncle " and she gulped hard.

Daniella shrugged "fine."

Before Selena close the door, she bent with her trembling knees "I was thinking that maybe tomorrow…" she gulped hard before continuing "we should take a walk."

Daniella smiled at her in response, she closed the door by herself and waved a hand as a goodbye to Selena.

Waiting on the 30th floor of the Su building, Evan and Kirby were standing next to each other, they waited for the elevator to open and as it did, they both entered and Kirby pressed the ground floor.

Evan took a sigh while his eyes were looking at his phone. Daniella hasn\'t read any of his messages and he was having a hard time accepting the possibility that she might have ended their relationship.

Ding!

The sound of the elevator pulled him back to reality. As he adjusted his tie, Evan and Kirby walked out of the elevator towards the entrance to welcome the COO of the Lumax Corporation.

Soon Glen arrived, he was out of breath when he stopped in front of them.

"Is she here?" he said in between his breathing.

"Soon" Evan replied.

"Ok, I heard that she had dinner with the owner of the Island Bank and seems like they have had an agreement. Though she\'s still waiting for her boss\'s confirmation."

Evan shut his eyes, his hand clenched into fists "who is her boss?"

Glen shrugged "I don\'t know who but they said he was the previous lawyer of the bank."

A black SUV stopped in front of the Su Financial Bank a few minutes after Evan and Kirby exited the building. A woman with a black suit came out of the backseat.

Her long black hair was pulled back to a low ponytail, complimenting her square face, even her jaw which was perfectly shaped gave an extra attraction to anyone that would look at her but all Evan could see was her aura, her lips pressing together tells him that she\'s one of those difficult clients.

Evan squinted looking at her, her skin is the color of the dark roast coffee, clothes just like his – western style.

Behind her was a woman with a thin body that would fly at a simple howl of the wind, her face was paled as if something had frightened her.

"Good Morning Mr. Su" the COO greeted him, eyes and tone were a match, so cold and emotionless.

But Evan was used to this kind of face as he has been seeing this cold attitude every time, he looked in the mirror.

Accepting her hand he welcomed her, "I know your time is precious why don\'t we continue this in my office?"

Jenna Marcus nodded and followed him with her assistant next to her.

As they entered the elevator, Jenna\'s assistant phone\'s rang.

"How many times do I need to remind you about your phone?"

Evan discreetly dropped a glance at the assistant and her face which was already pale had turned even whiter than a ghost.

"I apologize Ms. Marcus " the assistant said and, swiftly turned off her phone.

"Let me be straight with you Mr. Su " Jenna turned a bit to look at Evan eye to eye.

"I had a meeting with Island Bank and I believe that we have made a verbal agreement though I still want to hear what your company has to offer" she said straight, not bothering to blink her eyes.

With a face emotionless as a rock, Evan nodded "I understand. We are both looking out for our companies , but Su Financial has been in the business for decades" he paused when the elevator has reached the 30th floor , as they continued walking towards his office he spoke "hear my proposal and you can discuss it with your boss, maybe he will consider it" as he said that, a slight smile was on his lips.

Jenna rose a brow at the domineering smirk on Evan\'s face. Just like the other businessman she met, they think of her lowly just because she\'s a woman.

"Let me just tell you this Mr. Su" she paused as she waited for Evan to open the door.

"My boss, the CEO of Lumax is a woman" she stepped inside following his trail "she\'s a very respected woman and honestly with your attitude, I doubt a smart and elegant woman like her wouldn\'t-" she paused when Evan suddenly stiffened like a statue.

With her eyes narrowing in confusion, Jenna looked at the direction he was looking and there she found a woman wearing an oversized shirt, untidy hair and a toothbrush in her mouth.

When the woman looked at Jenna, a radiant smile beamed on her lips which were full of foams from the toothpaste, and as her smile widened, the round dimples on her cheeks appeared like a well.

"Jenna, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the sound of her voice, anger rushed in Jenna\'s brain, nose wrinkling in irritation, she walked closer to the woman and repeatedly hit her arm with the folder in her hand.

"You witch! How could you leave the company to me?" she shouted fumingly "you don\'t start a company and leave the rest of the work to your people!"

She paused to take a breath "I have a life too Daniella! I haven\'t had vacations since you broke up with James."
