Chapter 92

Thinking East, Evelyn quickly activated the recording app on her phone with a swipe of her finger and placed it on her desk before looking at her Secretary, who had come in with Sandra.

Evelyn’s secretary stepped forward, looking f flustered. “Ms. Evelyn, I’m so sorry. I tried to stop her, but she just barged in-

Evelyn raised a hand to stop her. “It’s fine,” she said calmly, her expression composed. “You can go now

The secretary hesitated. Although she was relieved that Evelyn said it was okay, she was still worried since she had only just begun working with her and didn’t want Evelyn to think she was incompetent. She nodded and hurried out of the office, closing the door softly behind her.

Evelyn leaned back in her chair and turned her attention to Sandra, who stood before her with arms crossed tightly across her chest and eyes blazing with fury.

Evelyn could tell that Sandra had come to her office on impulse out of anger. This wasn’t a calculated visit. Sandra was clearly livid, but Evelyn remained seated, calm and collected.

“Sandy. Evelyn greeted with an annoyingly pleasant smile, “what brings you to my office today!”

Sandra’s nourils flared, her fists clenched at her sides. “Cut the crap, Evelyn. What are you smiling about? You know exactly why I’m here.” Sandra said, her voice was sharp, laced with bitterness,

“Oh?” Evelyn raised a brow, frigning ignorance as she adjusted her posture, her smile never wavering. “Do enlighten me,” she said, not wanting to believe that Sandra had the guts to come to confront her over taking Derek’s phone call when she was the same bitch, who had been shamelessly having an affair with her dance.

Sandra cook a step closer, her eyes narrowing. “What the bell was that earlier? Don’t you have any shame!” Her voice was sharp, dripping with

Evelyn arched a brow, then threw her head back and laughed, a deep, genuine sound that filled the room, catching Sandra off guard. “Shame! Do you really think someone like you should be asking me such a question!”

Sandra shot Evelyn a disdainful look, clearly irritated by her calm demeanor. “What do you think you’re playing at, huh? Why wer Derek!”

“Did you barge into my office just to ask me that? Sandy, surely you have more important things to do than to waste your time on questions that really don’t concern you.”

Sandra’s face twisted with anger. “You think this is funny here to tell you to back off. Derek is my man. I don’t care what you think you’re doing, but you’d better stay the hell away from him! He is mine!”

Evelyn’s lips curled into a smirk, her eyes gleaming with amusement as she leaned forward and locked eyes with Sandra. “Oh, Sandra, that’s a shame,” she said, her voire dripping with mock sympathy. “Unfortunately for you, that won’t be happening because I’ve decided that I want Derck for myself.

lips parting in shock. “What?” she spat, her voice shaking with disbelief. She had expected a denial from Evelyn, not this “You you can’t be serious,” she said, unable to believe that Evelyn had just admined that she wanted Derek.

Seeing how shocked she was, Evelyn smirked and leaned forward slightly, her tone light and almost playful “Oh, I’m very serious. You can have Michael | left him for you, after all. But Derck! He’s mine now.”

The shock on Sandra’s face morphed into pure rage. Her fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms. “You bitch! You have no i what you’re getting yourself into. You’re about to bite off more than you can chew!”

Evelyn’s smile widened, but her eyes hardened “Oh, sweetheart, you already bit of more than you could chew when you came after me first, Evelyn said, her voice low and sharp.

Sandra’s jaw clenched, and she took a step forward, but Evelyn didn’t back down. If anything, she rose, her confidence radiating in the way she

But you and Michard You twa just couldn’t let me he, could you? You decided to provoke me, You pushed me, Sandra. And now, I won’t just sit back and watch anymore Evelyn continued her tone laced with icy calmness.

Evelyn’s eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. “You see that stunt you pulled at the anniversary party! You brought out the bitch in me, and I’ve only just started.

Chapter 92

Evelyn felt a cold shiver crawl up her spine at the mention of Derek’s mother. Refusing to show any sign of weakness, she masked her fear behind a confident smirk. “Is that so?” She arched a brow, crossing her arms. “Want to bet on that?”

Sandra’s eyes narrowed, and she took a deep breath, trying to control her temper. “You’re making a huge mistake, Evelyn. And you’ll regret it. Trust

me

Evelyn’s smirk widened. “Trust you? Why would I ever trust an evil bitch like you? Don’t you want Michael anymore? Or did you only want him because I had him? Does he even know you’re here, fighting over another man? Or wait. Your relationship with him is an open one, isn’t it? Seeing as you were willing to share him with me, it must be. I guess it’s his turn to share you with Derek. What a dirty pair you are.”

Sandra’s face flushed with humiliation and anger, her fists clenching so tightly that her knuckles turned white. “You’ll pay for this, Evelyn,” she hissed through gritted teeth.

Evelyn didn’t flinch. “We’ll see.”

Without another word, Sandra spun on her heel and stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her.

The moment the door closed, Evelyn let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. She quickly turned off the recording on her phone, her hands shaking slightly.

She sat back down in her chair, her heart racing as she stared at the door Sandra had just stormed through. The encounter had shaken her more than she cared to admit, but she wasn’t about to let Sandra know that.

It didn’t matter that Sandra had not admitted to her relationship with Michael. She had not bothered to deny it either, and that was good enough for Evelyn.

It had started. The battle lines were drawn, and Evelyn knew there was no turning back now.
