the day ended, it was past his closing hours, and he was drained, both mentally and physically,
By the tDerek's last meeting g for the
As he drove back to his hotel, his thoughts wandered to the CCTV he had planted in his office earlier that
morning and he couldn't help but wonder if Michael had gone into his office at any point in time.
The moment he got into his suite, Derek didn't bother to take off his clothes first. He sat on the couch and pulled
out his phone to check the recorded feed from the security camera in his office.
It didn't take long before his suspicions were confirmed. Michael had indeed returned to remove the bug,
providing Derek with the proof he needed to expose him.
Although he had suspected that Michael was behind it, having evidence of Michael's betrayal made his blood boil
with anger.
Needing to calm himself so that he could think straight, he rose and took off his clothes as he headed for the
bathroom.
As the water flowed over him, Derek told himself that instead of being angry he should be happy that he now
had the evidence to prove Evelyn's innocence.
His thoughts drifted to Evelyn and he wondered how she was doing. He missed her and needed to talk to her to
hear her voice again.
secretory because
His secretary had told him that Evelyn called to discuss the details of the interview with her. He knew she had
reached out to his sec she was avoiding him, but he wasn't going to let her do so for much longer.
Now that he had the evidence to prove her innocence, things could return to normal between them and he would
find a way to get his parents to approve of her.
After he freshened up, he grabbed his phone and dialed Evelyn's number. It rang twice before she picked up.
"Hello, Mr. Stone," Evelyn greeted curtly the moment she picked up, and Derek smiled when he heard her voice.
"Hello, Eve. How are you doing? Derek asked pleasantly.
Evelyn raised a brow, "Is there a reason you called?" She asked aloofly, wanting him to go straight to the point.
Although she was happy to hear from him, she didn't want to make things harder for herself than it already was
by keeping in close contact with him when she knew how much effect he had on her emotions. "Yes. But before |
say anything | want to know how you're doing," Derek said stubbornly

"How I'm doing has nothing to do with you. Please.."
"You can either tellhow you're doing so | can get to the reason | called or you can keep ranting, | love
hearing you talk either way. How was work today!" Derek asked, and Evelyn sighed.
"I'm fine. Work was fine. Are you calling because you heard from your secretary?" She asked, wanting to make
sure they were only going to talk
work.
"Heard what?" Derek asked even though he knew what she meant. He just wanted to hear her talk.
"We decided on a date for the interview. Does next Friday work for yo
"you?" she asked and he nodded even though she couldn't see him,
"That works for me. It would have been the end of our monthlong arrangement," he said with a wistful smile.
"Yeah. So. Why did you call?" Evelyn asked, not wanting to dwell on anything else.
"I miss you, Eve. The office is not the swithout you. | could barely focus on work today," he said and Evelyn
sighed inwardly since she understood what he meant.
"Is that the reason you called?" She asked, trying to sound harsh.
Ethan ca

"Your sailor best friend?" Evelyn asked before she could stop herself.
"You remember him," Derek said with a pleased smile since he had only casually mentioned Ethan to her once or
twice
"I was quite happy to see him," Derek said and Evelyn sighed.

"Good for you," she said in an indifferent tone, "I'm going to hang up now if that's all," Evelyn said but before she
could do that he spoke up.
"| called to tell you that | got the evidence to prove that Michael was behind everything," he said and smiled
smugly when he heard the sharp intake of breath on the other end
"What evidence? How did you manage to get it!" she asked excitedly.

his voice. "Oh, my god!" Evelyn

"I'm going to show it to my parents tomorrow and have them deal with him. And then..."
"No. Derek. Don't," Evelyn cut in before he could finish.
Derek frowned. "Why not? We need to prove your innocence and punish him for his action," he said and Evelyn
sighed.
"I know. | understand you want to help clear my nand punish Michael but trust me, a single footage won't be
