Evangeline was his wife, Walter’s wife, and she was pregnant with his child. How could he possibly let go?
The blanket dropped to the floor as Walter stood behind the door, his hands balled into fists, his stance resolute.
However, his deep eyes betrayed a storm of bewilderment and uncertainty.
In the CEO’s office of the Gordon Group building.
“Seriously? This is the proposal you guys came up with? Did anyone even think this through?”
The sound of a heavy hand slamming down on the desk echoed as the young assistant bit back tears, her hard work just a mess in the eyes of the big boss. She practically sprinted out of the office.
David had been lingering outside the president’s office, watching the assistant beat a hasty retreat. He felt a wave of pity for her and started counting on his fingers.
What was the count for this day? One from HR, one from marketing… Including this one from planning, that made six, right?
Mr. Walter was on a whole other level of cranky today

The assistant who had just dashed out had even come to David for advice beforehand, thanks to the cautionary tales of the five before her.
David had actually checked out the proposal that Walter had just ripped apart. Sure, it had a few gaps, but the ideas were solid, and there were plenty of good points. It did not deserve the shredding it got.

He could not figure out what was eating at him, this weird rage that kept bubbling up, making him lash out at his staff over every little thing.
Meanwhile, Evangeline had used her pregnancy as an excuse to pack up and leave Crystal Waters House for good.
Of course, this was a secret kept just between the two of them. No one from the Gordon or Foster families had a clue. They had to keep it that way, especially since Evangeline’s grandfather, Cole, was not in the best of health. The fewer people in the know, the less chance Cole would catch wind of what was

really going on.
Waster was stressed, and all he wanted was to dive headfirst into his work. Little did he know that by getting so wrapped up, he would spot his team slacking off right away. Fueled by his sour mood, he decided it was time to whip them into shape. He was not about to let them think making money in the Gordon family was a walk in the park!
