The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 81

"Hey. Ray! What's up!" Evelyn asked the moment the call connected.

"Evelyn! You will not believe what just happened!" Rayna's voice cthrough loud and high-pitched, nearly

causing Evelyn to pull the phone away from her ear. Evelyn's smile faded as she heard the strain in Rayna's

voice. "What happened? Are you okay?

Rayna's breath was coming out in gasps, like she had been running or maybe just talking a mile a minute. "I wish

the ground would just open up

and swallow me,"

"Calm down, Ray. What's wrong?" Evelyn asked, concerned.

"I ran into him. Evelyn, ran you believe it? | ran into the guy from the club again?""

ere did you meet him?"

Evelyn's eyes widened. "Wait, you mean Ethan' The guy you called a pervert last night? Where

"He cto the bakery! Can you believe that?" Hayna's words tumbled out, her excitement palpable. "You

should have seen his face He was so angry when he realized | baked the muffins he ate, Evelyn. If looks could set

someone ablaze, he would have setand the Bakery ablaze. And then-"

"Kayna, slow down," Evelyn intermapted, trying to keep up with her friend's rapid speech. "He was at the bakery,

and he recognized you. What did you say to him?"

Rayna's voice dropped slightly, tinged with a hint of frustration. "I didn't even get a chance to say anything! He

stormed out before | could explain or apologize. Can you believe that? He just walked out Evelyn!"

Evelyn exhaled, a mix of relief and concern washing over her. "Maybe it's for the best," she said, trying to soothe

her friend. "I mean, he probably needs tto cool off. But I'm sure he'll get over it eventually. You did call him a

pervert, after all."

"That was an honest mistake. Anyone would have done the sin my shoes," Rayna said defensively.

nf

f you want, maybe | could ask Derek if he could set up a meeting or something? You know, just so you can

apologize properly" Evelyn suggested.

Rayna considered it for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I think | might run into him again. I'm starting to

think this might be fate.

Evelyn mised a brow, "Fair" She asked in confusion.

"Don't you see, Evie? This has to mean something. | mean, what are the odds of running into him again! First, we

met at the club, and | had no idea he was your Derek's."

"Not my Derek." Evelyn corrected, but Rayna continued as if she had not heard her.

"friend. And then | meet him at the bakery only to realize he is Melvin's brother."

"You know his brother?" Evelyn asked with interest

"Yeah. His brother and sister-in-law are my regulars, and they always used to talk about him but I've never seen

him. If this were a movie or one of those romance web | love, it would mean we're meant to be, right! Like

destiny or fate or something?"

Evelyn rolled her eyes, though a small smile tugged at her lips. "Rayna, seriously? You need to stop watching so

many ks and reading those silly romance . They're getting to your head. You're too old for these

fantasies."

Hayna laughed, a light, carefree sound that made Evelyn smile. "You're never too old to believe in a litle

romance, Evelyn. What if this is fate? What if | meet him again by coincidence? That would be the third time.

Isn't there ssaying about the third tbeing the charmm™""

Evelyn sighed, shaking her head even though Rayna couldn't see her. "Okay, let's say you do run into him again.

What then? Are you just going to apologize, or are you planising to make him your boyfriend?" There was a brief

passe on the other end of the line, and Evelyn

Evelyn chuckled, unable to help herself. "You're unbelievable, Rayna. | wish you good luck with asking a guy

shot back, her tone playful. "Stranger things have happened"

Kayna laughed again, but before she could respond. Evelyn caught a whiff of something acrid. She turned her

head towards the kitchen, the stuell od scaunching kaming teaching her nose. Her eyes widened in horror. "Oh
