Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 75 True Nature
While deep in thought, the waiter's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss, your vegetable salad and custard bun."
Upon hearing this, Eva snapped back to reality and saw that the waiter had already packed her food, so she reached out to take it. "Thank you. I've already paid."
"Alright then, take care and welcome back anytime."
Eva carried the bag and turned to leave.
During this walk, she still felt someone watching her until she entered the company's gates and the gaze disappeared.
Did that black car earlier have someone in it after all?
Actually, while walking back, she had the thought of going over to check, regardless of whether there was someone or not, she would know once she looked, right? However, when she thought about it, she felt a chill in her heart and decided not to go.
Furthermore, the cars in the parking lot shouldn't have anyone in them during the midday.
Eva rubbed her eyes and felt that she might have been overthinking.
Ding-
The elevator arrived.
Eva entered.
When it got busier in the afternoon, this small incident during lunch was completely forgotten by her.
At the end of the workday, Jenny came to find her.
"Eva, the Myers family group invited us for dinner tonight." Jenny nervously twisted her fingers together, her face slightly pale, struggling to say the next sentence. "You don't dare to go?" Eva could easily tell what Jenny wanted to say.
Upon hearing this, Jenny nodded slightly and then whispered, "I'm sorry, Eva. I seem to have become a bit timid. I'll go by myself. Please treat it as if I didn't come." "Wait."
Eva called out to her, stood up, and said, "I'll accompany you."
However, it should be the last time.
"Thank you, Eva. I'll prepare."
Because Eva had to accompany Jenny to the dinner, she sent a WhatsApp message to Adrian, telling him that she would be working overtime and let him to go home first. Adrian: "?"
Adrian replied, "Overtime? I don't remember you need to work overtime today."
Eva: "Don't you know about the secretary's work? I'm assisting the assistant for a cooperation meeting."
Adrian: "Assist?"
He probably didn't understand why she used that term. Shouldn't it be the assistant accompanying her? Why was she accompanying the assistant?
Eva: "Training my successor. Otherwise, who would take over my work when I'm gone?"
She didn't originally want to be so direct, but someone seemed to want to dig deeper, so she can only be straightforward.
Sure enough, after she sent that message, there was silence on the other side, with no further response.

Eva and Jenny went downstairs together.
When they were about to reach the first floor, Eva asked, "Did you call for a car?"
"Ah? Oh..." Jenny, realizing it late, took out her phone, "Sorry, Eva. I forgot. I'll call now."
Eva wasn't angry either and nodded.
While waiting for the car, the two of them arrived at the company's entrance.
Eva thought of something and subconsciously looked towards the spot where the black car was parked at noon.
Sure enough, the car was no longer there. Instead, there was a white Volkswagen.
"Eva, what are you looking at?" Jenny asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Eva snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head, "Nothing. Did you call for the car?"
"Yes, it should be here in a few minutes. Sorry, Eva. It seems like I'm always careless."
Upon hearing this, Eva glanced at him and smiled helplessly, "What's the big deal? Everyone has a first time. Others may not do better than you, and you may not be worse than others. Show some confidence and courage. Don't be too afraid." "Sure!" Jenny regained her confidence from Eva's words.
When Eva turned her head, Jenny secretly observed her. Eva... she's truly a good and capable person.
When can I be like her?
The meeting place was a bar.
When getting off the car, Eva frowned at the colorful lights and felt displeased.
"Who chose this place?"
Jenny looked blank, "It's... it's from the Myers family."
Upon hearing this, Eva's frown deepened, "Bars are noisy and not suitable for business discussions. Didn't you suggest a different location?"
Being scolded by Eva, Jenny felt dumbfounded.
"I, I didn't know. I thought we would go to the place they suggested."
Moreover, Jenny didn't know it was a bar before coming here. It seemed somewhat informal.
"When someone suggests a meeting place, check if it's suitable for work. If it's not, choose another location yourself."
Jenny could only nod dryly, "I understand."
"What should we do now, Eva? Should we not go in?"
Eva still clenched her eyebrows and lips.
"Since we're already here, let's go."
She was relieved that Jenny spoke up. Otherwise, she would have come here alone tonight, like a defenseless rabbit, and most likely be taken advantage of. Before entering, Eva said, "Let the HR department recruit someone to help you in a few days. Find someone smart and resourceful."
Jenny felt extremely guilty, and no matter what Eva said, she nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, they found the private room they agreed on, and were led there by the staff of the bar.
As soon as they opened the door, Eva smelled a strong combination of cigarette smoke, alcohol, and various chemical perfume scents.
Her face changed, and she almost vomited on the spot. She had to take a few steps back to breathe in fresh air outside.
What's going on?
Has she become more sensitive to smells since she became pregnant, or is it just a psychological reaction that makes her want to vomit upon smelling these scents?
She had been exposed to these smells before and initially felt uncomfortable, but gradually got used to it.
"Oh, look who's here, our secretary Hansen."
An exaggerated voice came from inside the private room.
Kris, the heir of the Myers family, was holding a delicate and fair-skinned woman in his arms.
The snowy girl whistled towards her position.
Kris...
Didn't expect it to be him.
"Come on in, all of you. Hurry up and make some room for our Ms. Hansen."
Kris's group of friends immediately stood up and made room for her.
Eva: ...
She tugged at her lips and looked at Kris, saying, "Mr. Myers, can we find another place to talk about work?"
"Another place?" Kris looked at her in surprise. "Ms. Hansen, why would we need to change locations? Do you know how much I spent on this VIP suite?"
Eva could only say, "The smoke in here is too strong for me."
Perhaps he didn't expect her to be so direct, and everyone in the private room was stunned for a moment. Then Kris smiled slyly and said, "I've heard that Ms. Hansen is straightforward, and I finally got to see it today." "Are you going to change or not?" Eva couldn't be bothered with small talk.
Kris clicked his tongue, his slender eyes scanning her from a distance, without saying whether they would change or not.
