Eva was a little apologetic, but she really had something important to do these days, so she explained gently, "Sorry, Benny. Something has happened to me these days and I really don't have time to explain it to you."

Benny curiously asked, "What's the matter?"

He really wanted to know what it was that had made it so late to inform him.

"I was kidnapped by a former director of Boyun Group who hired someone and tried to rape me. Because she gave me a hard time at work, Paul fired her." When Eva mentioned that director in planning department, she turned very angry.

"Later I was saved by Paul, but he was sent to the hospital with wounds from saving my life, so I have been taking care of him for several days. My mobile phone ran out of battery and I forgot to charge it."

After Eva said that, she looked at Benny apologetically and lowered her head.

Benny didn't expect so much to happen to Eva in a few days, so his worries about Eva slowly dissipated, but for himself, he felt a burst of frustration because he did not protect Eva in time. If the person who saved Eva that day was him, then Eva might treat him like her boyfriend.

Benny looked at Eva and gently opened his mouth to say, "I see. It doesn't matter, Eva. You just remember that you never need to say sorry to me." Because how could I blame you?

"But, Eva. What is your relationship with Paul? Didn't you tell me that you were an indentured couple? Why do I feel that your attitude toward him has changed recently?"

It was because Paul saved her this time that she fell in love with Paul?

Thinking of that, Benny felt sad and malicious. He would never give away his true love easily, "Don't become complacent, Paul."

Eva pondered for a while before opening her mouth cautiously, "Benny, I think I will consider Paul as my future husband."

"Why did you change your mind? Just because Paul saved you this time?" Benny did not know why he said that, he just felt his eyes were full of bitterness. He had been with her for so many years that he had to see the woman he loved go into someone else's arms.

"Eva, think about it. If you just want to return the favor, I don't think you must promise him."

"No, it is my decision. I have already thought it out clearly. I do have feelings for Paul. That's true. I hope to have a future with him." Eva looked at Benny's eyes firmly.

With a wry smile on his face, Benny said, "Wish you happiness."

He did not know why he thought his heart was empty at the moment.

"Thank you, Benny."

A smile finally appeared on Eva's face.

.......................

After Eva returned home, she could not help thinking of Paul, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

She was thinking of the happy life between her and Paul when she heard the phone ring.

Picking up the mobile phone, Eva curiously looked at the screen, that was Paul's message to her.

Eva was a little excited. Was it the sweet words that Paul sent her?

But when Eva turned on the phone, there was only one sentence.

"Eva, please don't panic. I will deal with the matter soon."

After seeing that, Eva was a little confused. What on earth had happened so that Paul sent a text message to comfort her? Was there any bad talk spreading on the Internet?

Eva hurriedly took out the phone to see the news pages.

Just as she had expected, the scene that Paul was taken to hospital with injuries was captured by the paparazzi. That piece of news was made headline, and she became a target of public criticism because of the incident.

Because the headline on that piece of biggest layout was "The CEO of Boyun Group fought gangsters just for a barmaid, finally he was seriously injured in hospital"!

Seeing that, Eva just realized the profound ability of the journalists to fabricate stories.

She knew that Paul would deal with it, so she did not take it to heart. Luckily she could lean on Paul's shoulder, so that she wouldn't have to fight alone.

Suddenly a phone call came over, Eva saw it was from Paul, so she quickly picked it up.

"Hello?" Eva said hello, but there was no sound inside. She began to feel that something was wrong, it was at this moment that Paul spoke.

"Eva, my dad asks us to go back."

Eva was shocked and unavoidably reminded of today's news. Could it be that his daddy had specially called her and Paul when he heard about it? Or something else...

While Eva was thinking, Paul opened his mouth again and said, "Don't worry, I stay with you."

Hearing that, Eva felt a little relieved and nodded, "I know that."

.......................

Eva, wearing a suit of well-fitting clothes, took Paul's hand and went to his house together.

The tall figure of Paul made Eva's figure look more petite and lovely.

Due to the tension, she could feel her palms sweat and her throat tighten.

Paul felt her tension and shook her hand gently. His eyes hinted Eva not to be nervous, everything was okay.

Eva looked up at Paul's firm eyes, and she felt a little relaxed, but she still fretted about the interrogation she might face from Stephen. This time they provoked such a thing, and of course, the incident reached his ears, so it was not known what he would think.

Paul straightened his tie and then took Eva to the hall. When he arrived at the hall, he saw his dad staring at them seriously, with a gloomy and extremely angry look on his face.

Eva was afraid, but she tried to keep calm.

"Daddy," Paul was very calm, and he asked, "why did you call us back this time? I need to deal with a lot of things in my company. If you have nothing important to say, I will take Eva with me..."

"Eva, get down on your knees."

Before Paul finished his words, Stephen interrupted him.
