Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563 

Too bad, just as Evangeline had managed to pull it off, Cole got all awkward from their lovey dovey talk and excused himself. 

Evangeline watched Cole walk away and breathed a sigh of relief. When she picked up the phone again, her voice was icy, like she had flipped a switch. 

“Out with it, Walter, Why’d you call?” 

She was not in the mood for small talk with Walter. She owed him thanks for the call that cleared up any doubts Cole had, but getting the lowdown was way more pressing than a ‘thank you‘ 

Walter’s mouth twitched. Since when could Evangeline switch gears so fast? She was sweet one moment, and the next, a thunderstorm. He did not even get a heads–up. 

However, he had to focus on why he would call in the first place. 

“Remember the woman we saved downtown?” 

Celina? Evangeline’s gaze faltered for a moment. “Yeah, remember. The Fosters are still keeping her safe. What’s up?” 

Not that she was itching to go into detail, but she figured Walter was already clued in on the Fosters guarding 

Celina. 

Instead of sitting around waiting to be called out, she figured she might as well come clean first. It was better to stay ahead of the game than to be caught off guard. 

“That lady is my assistant David’s girlfriend. Any chance you could bend the rules a bit and let me have a 

chat with her?” 

Evangeline heard every word Walter said, but put them all together, and it was like he was speaking another language. 

What was going on there? Celina was David’s girl, so why was Walter asking to see her? 

Was that not a meeting David should be having himself? 

“Walter, you lost me there. Can you sort out your thoughts and try explaining that again?” 

She offered the suggestion with good intentions, but inside, she was wondering if Walter had lost his marbles. 

His words were a jumbled mess, a total shift from his usual self. 

Walter took a deep breath, finally realizing he had not made the connection between seeing Celina and David clear. No wonder Evangeline was confused. 

“Here’s the deal. David’s out of town and can’t make it back, so he asked me to meet with Celina. Evangeline, could you do me a solid for the sake of our call today?” 

You’ve got to hand it to Walter, the guy is sharp, Evangeline thought 

He picked up on something off in Evangeline’s voice and figured out he had accidentally done her a big favor. Just like that, he was angling for a ‘thank you“.
