3 Look At Your Woman

A smile formed on her lips.

"It's you," Emily spoke and walked towards her.

"Yeah. It's me. Sorry again for what happened earlier." Eva apologized once again. "Coffee?" she handed her a can to show her sincerity.

"Just the answer to keep me awake. Thank you. You don't have to feel guilty about it." Emily received the coffee and opened it right in front of her.

"I'm glad you're fine. If you don't mind, I have to go now. I still have some things to do." Eva admitted that she was going to edit her recordings.

"I'm Emily." she introduced herself to her with an outstretched hand.

"I'm Eva Marshall." she took her hand and shook it gently. Emily's eyes lit up from hearing her name.

"Eva? Eva..." she prolonged the sound of Eva's name in question.

"Eva Marshall." she provided her complete name again. The lights in Emily's eyes fair

"I see. I just found your name so familiar. Thanks for this coffee by the way." Emily waved the coffee can in her hand.

"No worries. I'll go ahead now." Eva got inside her car and sped away. She will be spending the night with her computer again.

Just as Eva's car disappeared from Emily's sight, John appeared with a confused and unbelieving face.

"What's the matter, boss? Were you able to find the thing you wanted to buy?" Emily asked nonchalantly.

"No. I just think she was there." John murmured to himself but Emily still caught his words.

She took a sip of the coffee before responding. "You mean the girl at the cemetery?"

"How did you know?" John asked with a raised brow.

"Well, I just had a conversation with her earlier. She gave me this." Emily raised the coffee to show it to him.

John sighed before getting inside the car. Hawk had been waiting for them.

"I just found her familiar," John commented when they were all inside the car.

Emily turned to face him with an eager face but then she realized it wasn't even possible. She hesitated for a moment but she still decided to tell him in the end.

"Her name is Eva. Eva Marshall. I checked her hand and she doesn't seem married. I mean, there were no ring marks on her fingers." Emily reported her findings. "Based on my previous encounter with her, she doesn't rely on men."

"You're the best assistant," Hawk interjected which earned him a glaring look from her.

John just listened but the name wasn't the same as the person he was looking for. "Just ask the PI to hurry their investigation."

John closed his eyes while Emily checked on some files.

Hawk would sometimes talk to her to relieve her boredom.

In less than an hour, they arrived at Beverly Hills where John owned a huge villa. It was just one of his many properties.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

The sound of the opening and closing of car doors made the two people inside so happy.

The next day which was Sunday, Eva was so tired after working all night. She scheduled the release of the recording at noon by sending it to Merry.

Merry acknowledged that she got her message and made an alarm for it. Eva went to her room after everything was settled and slept all the way until late in the afternoon. Ah…bitter nightmare hunted her,

She awoke with anger I will not pardon you, I will take my revenge. And then She checked her phone the moment she woke up and found several notifications that were congratulating her.

She smiled before putting the phone back on her bedside table and planning to go back to sleep.

However, three consecutive knocks rang from the outside of her room.

"Wake up sleepy head! You've been sleeping for a day! It's time to celebrate another feat of success." Mery's voice came out with excitement.

"I still want to sleep!" Eva's shout wasn't clear to her friend since she was curling herself under her thick blanket.

"If you won't dress up, I'll barge in already!" Merry responded while tapping her foot on the floor.

She had access to Eva's house since she was the one who supervise the cleaning while her friend was away, so it's not a wonder how she got herself in.

Merry gripped her shoulders and made her sit down on her bed. "The success of your recording calls for celebration. You spent so much effort on that."

"Where are we going? I'm not in the mood to celebrate this time. I wanted to spend my time looking for a person which would match my qualifications."

"Heh! You're at it again. How about we find someone at the bar for you to hook up?" Merry's mischievous grin made Eva laugh.

Merry's eyes rolled at her statement. "I am not a bad influence. I am such a good friend that I supported you with every decision. Since you wanted it, then go for it. I am not here to hinder your happiness. I am here to be your shoulders when you cannot get it."

"Jeez! What's with the drama?!" Eva rubbed her arms as if goosebumps started to form all over her. "You're being cheesy again."

"Me being cheesy is normal. Anyway, get up and take a shower already. We'll have dinner first before going to a bar." Merry grabbed her to stand up and pushed her towards the bathroom. "Clean yourself thoroughly.

You might meet your Mr Right tonight." she added while laughing evilly.

Eva took a shower while preparing her bathtub. After a few minutes, she dipped herself in her scented warm bath and relaxed.

"She never changed," Merry murmured.

When she met Eva for the first time, she had asked her to sleep with her in her room. She asked her to take a bath while she watched some dramas on her laptop.

Unknowingly, even after she finished one episode which was almost an hour, she didn't come out.
