Why is the woman before me doing all this?
"Actually... I have always liked you and don't want you to be fooled." Evelyn blushed as the words left her mouth.
Shane's heart fluttered when he noticed her response.
Despite his good looks, no one ever pursued him and he could never find a partner.
This was the first time a girl confessed her feelings to him. Furthermore, she was a beauty.
In a moment of weakness, Shane's pity for her gave him the urge to comfort her.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you. May I know how I should address you?" After speaking for such a
long time, Shane still didn't know her name.
"Evelyn Morrison."
"I'm Shane Teslar.”
After a pause, he added, "Well. It's already late. So, you should head home now."
"Don't you want to take revenge on Vivian? After all, she has cheated your feelings."
Evelyn could see that Shane was soft-hearted and indecisive. Despite knowing how he had been treated, he didn't seem to mind it at all.
"What do you plan to do?" Shane would definitely do something about it, but he still wanted to know what Evelyn's plan was.
"I was thinking of abducting her son and cause her to be distraught. We won't harm him, of
course. I just want to make her panic for a few days."
Evelyn knew that Shane wasn't cruel enough to harm anyone. Hence, she had to manipulate him into helping her.
After all, he was Vivian's colleague and was a great asset to her plan.
"Alright." Shane nodded. After getting a cab for Evelyn, he went straight home.
On the way back, he kept thinking about the kiss he shared with Evelyn. Just reminiscing about it would cause his heart to flutter.
