Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 129

Walter's mood soured as the head bodyguard brushed past him. The guy was a thorn in his side, and Waher vowed to make him vanish from Avalon City for good

The drama in the restroom wrapped up, and the bodyguard, Matthew, and the rest of the men knew it was time to clear out

Evangeline, totally spent from the ordeal, slumped against the cubicle wall, panting hard. "Walter is the worst!" she fumed.

She felt like she could explode with frustration because of him,

Meanwhile, Roslyn, who had just snapped out of her daze, blurted out without thinking. "Evie, about the

movie

"Forget it, Roslyn, I'm heading home."

The last thing she wanted was to sit through a movie

Evangeline figured it just was not her day. She had not checked the horoscope before leaving home. which must have been why she kept bumping into Walter, the walking disaster

"Okay, I'll walk you home." Roslyn understood where Evangeline was coming from. She had suggested the movie just to keep Evangeline out a bit longer, to help her chill out

However, if Evangeline needed some alone time, Roslyn, being the best friend she was, would not push it. "Oh, should we let Matthew know? He was hoping you'd help him with some song lyrics!" Roslyn never thought Matthew would fall for Evangeline so fast.

She had got to follow through when she helped someone. Knowing what Matthew needed, she felt she should have passed on the message.

Evangeline paused to think

Matthew had had her back in that mess earlier, which was helpful.

Walter was the type to hold a grudge. If he had made good on his threats and had gone after Matthew because she had helped with the lyrics, would not that have put Matthew in the line of fire?

'Let's not Roslyn, can you apologize to him for me? If there's anything else I can do to help, I'm there." Debts of gratitude definitely needed to be repaid, yet she could at least have waited until the ink dried on her divorce papers from Walter A1 Avalon City General Hospital's urology clinic, a patient unlike any other had walked in.

He was a tower of a man, decked out in sleek black casual wear, with oversized sunglasses that nearly swallowed his face,

This guy had the red carpet rolled out for him at the hospital. The hospital had to postpone the appointments of other patients to accommodate his arrival.

He had a one-track mind. Evangeline told him to get checked out by urology, right? So he was going to get every test done and see if there was any truth to her concerns?

Walter, being the VIP he was, breezed through all the tests and got his results in no time

He glanced over the numbers and figures, then passed the report to his assistant with a smug grin.

Meanwhile, Evangeline was pouring her energy into her work.

She had just settled down with her afternoon tea when her assistant Wade came in with a delivery.

Evangeline paused, her coffee cup mid-air. "I haven't ordered anything online lately. Why would I get a package?"

Inspecting the parcel with a little shake, Wade said, "It's got your name on it, and it's local too. Seems like some kind of document

The word document had piqued Evangeline's interest, and she ripped open the package without hesitation

She pulled out a stack of papers, and there it was, Walter's name in bold, impossible to miss, right on the front page
