The Billionaire’s Unexpected Proposal (Evelyn and Derek) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 

After his last appointment on Friday evening. Derek headed directly for the restaurant where he was to meet with Sandra for their dinner. 

He wished the date had been set at an earlier time and not after the close of work, so he could easily leave after thirty minutes or an hour. 

Though the date wasn’t until 5 p.m., Derek had decided to arrive there early. He wasn’t there out of eagerness but just because he wanted to have control of the situation. 

He wanted to be fully prepared for the evening, knowing well that this date was more than just to fulfill his end of the bargain with his mom but also a step toward uncovering Michael’s plots. 

As he sat there, sipping on a glass of water and waiting for Sandra. Derek decided to give Ethan a call but before he could dial Ethan’s line, his call 

came in 

Derek received the call with a chuckle, “Why do you always appear or call just when I talk or think about you!” 

Ethan chuckled. “Maybe because you’re in love with me?” he joked and Derek rolled his eyes. 

*Last time I checked, you do not have boobs, and your name isn’t Evelyn,” he said causing Ethan to laugh. 

“Yet you’re always thinking about me,” Ethan said dryly. “What are you up to?” he asked and Derek raised a brow 

“I’m at 

at the restaurant waiting for my date to show up,” he said and Ethan chuckled. 

“No wonder you were missing me,” he said, making Derek laugh. 

o to the g 

golf club,” Derek suggested. 

“What are you up to tomorrow? Let’s go to 

“Sure. But I was hoping we could hang out at the club tonight. It’s been a while since I last went clubbing.” Ethan said and Derek grinned. 

“Me too. I think I will be needing a drink after this date, Derek said and Ethan laughed 

“It might not be so bad. Who knows! You might end up falling hopelessly in love with her,” Ethan said and Derek snorted. 

“Not when Evelyn is alive. And even if Evelyn stopped existing, I could never be interested in her step–sister. Anyway, I wanted to call you earlier ‘cause I want you to call me at exactly 6 p.m. I don’t want this date to be longer than an hour, Derek said and Ethan chuckled 

“Sure. About our own date tonight, how about you pick me up so we go together?” Ethan suggested. 

“Cool But it’s not a date. Don’t forget to call by 0. Bye, Derek said and hung up when he saw Sandra approaching. 

Derek smiled as he watched her draw closer, his eyes never leaving her. Observing her appearance, Derek couldn’t deny that she was indeed a beautiful woman. But her beauty didn’t interest him since Evelyn was far more beautiful. What he was interested in was the hidden agenda he knew she had. 

Sandra smiled as 

as she saw the way he was 

he was staring at 

at her with interest, and she could swear she saw a spark of lust in his eyes. 

Of course, no man wouldn’t want to have her. Not even Derek Stone was immune to her charms. 

The moment she stopped in front of him, Derek rose to greet her, putting on his most charming smile. 

“I hope I didn’t keep you waiting, Mr Stone,” she asked, her voice soft and apologetic. 

“Please, call me Derek. And no, you didn’t keep me waiting. A beautiful woman like you should be waited on Derek said smoothly, putting on his 

best act 

Sandra smiled even more brightly glad that he was receptive to her. “Thanks,” she said as he pulled out a chair for her. 

“I’ve heard a lot about you, Sandra.. I can call you that, right?” Derek asked as he took his seat, and she nodded. 

“Please do” she said eagerly. 

“I was going to say, I’ve heard so many wonderful things about you, and it sort of made me anxious about our date so I had to arrive a little early to calm myself so I don’t make a fool of myself,” he said and Sandra giggled softly. 

“For real? Do you know how anxious I’ve been about this date? I’ve been walking about all day with a jittery feeling in my belly. I’m glad to know Tim not the only one who’s anxious about this date. So, maybe we can both relax together or make a fool of ourselves together, Sandra said and before Derek could respond, a waiter appeared at their side.

“Are you familiar with their dishes here!” Derek asked Sandra as she perused 

the 

menu. 

Sandra nodded. “Yes. I’ve been here a couple of times.” 

Derek took one glance at the menu and kept it aside with a charming smile. “Then I will trust you with my stomach and have whatever you’re having,” he said and Sandra grinned. 

“Alright then,” she said and ordered for the both of them
