Chapter 12 New AdmissionCompetitor
Eva wore her swimsuit. She was glad that Sara advised her to pack this costume with her clothes when she was packing
Soon she reached the backyard and slowly slipped off the robe and dipped her foot first in the water to check the water temperature. To her delight, it was perfect—not too cold nor too warm. Then she didn’t waste time and jumped into the pool.
She was enjoying the water touching her body. She kept enjoying herself in the water for a beneficial time, but she remembered she had college tomorrow, so she got out of the pool and wore her bathrobe.
A sudden glass-breaking sound astounded Eva. When she was in the pool, she felt someone‘s gaze on her. Still, she shrugged at the thought, believing it was a hallucination. But now, listening to the glass-breaking sound, she was sure that someone was watching her
The thought was enough to make her sick, and she bolted her room
Whereas on the balcony Stephen was enjoying her swimming; the more he gazed at her body, the harder his member became, and as Eva got out of the pool,.
They left Stephen in need of a cold shower. He broke the wine glass in frustration and left for the washroom.
The next morning, Eva reached the dining room, already in her college attire. The whole Smith family, we’re already settled for breakfast. Eva greeted them and started having her breakfast. A smile stuck to her face all the time. All the people present were noticing this recent change in Eva.
“So someone is looking very joyous today; well, we enjoyed your fangirl moment yesterday, so Richard Paul, why didn't you tell me before, and from when did you have this crush thing? It means it looks like you like him a lot."
Eva blushed at Rose’s comment. Still, she answers smilingly, ” I was 15 or 16, maybe his first show was introduced.”
“That cooking show, “Steve uttered with lots of bitterness in his tone
"Yes, I was.”
“”
“That cooking show, “Steve uttered with lots of bitterness in his tone
"Yes, I was greatly fascinated by the way he used to teach the recipe without even missing small tips. I think that's where my interest in cooking originated, and he is my true inspiration.
Stephen was already very annoyed with last night's incident, and Eva's praise was not helping his temper. This was the first time he regretted being friends with Richard.
Whereas Steve, who was sipping on the juice glass, was still comparing his looks with Richard. To his belief, he was more handsome than Richard, so how is Eva so flattered by Richard?
Rose doesn’t know what’s going on in her son’s mind. She was enjoying teasing the pretty girl, making her cheeks turn pink with blushing. So she asked the last thing. “Eva, I will help you get your crush
“I didn’t get it, “Eva asked in confusion, whereas ears of two men perked up at their conversation
“I mean, should I tell Richard to take you on a date?”
Eva smiled and blushed at the same time, which made rose giggle, but soon they both got shocked as Stephen threw his breakfast plate on the floor
“Who made this? How many times have I told you about my diet preferences? “
The sound was so loud that Eva literally jumped in her seat and Steve juice glass sputtered, whereas William was looking at his son in amazement. As it was the first time Stephen was creating an issue over food.
“What is the problem, son? Is anything wrong with your breakfast? Wait, I will order something else for you, “Rose asked Stephen with worry
Stephen stood up, picked his coat from the chair and mattered in gritted teeth
"No, it's OK. I will have something in the office. I am getting late. See you all at dinner.
Giving a hard look at Eva, Stephen left for his office, and soon Steve also left behind him, as did William. Eva was still trying to absorb the behavior of Stephen. Rose noticed her face, which was having sweat beads. So she tried to comfort her face.
“Don’t be scared, dear. It must be some office stress. He will come around when he will solve it out, ok? Now you must leave for your classes too, or else you will be late.”
Eva gave a nod to Rose and left for her classes as a car was waiting for her. Soon she reached the class. She greeted her Classmates and got seated beside Jacey, as they both were good friend from day One
Eva saw some girls giving touch-ups to their makeup, and the only two boys classmates were sitting with a sulking face. In the last few days she never noticed this kind of atmosphere in the class so she asked Jacey
“What’s happening?”
“ Nothing. Do you know the big hotelier Hudson?”
“Yes, what about him? I mean, is he coming to our class?"
“Wait, girl, hold your horses; not him but his only son Harry Hudson is joining this class of today, so these girls are trying to impress him and the boys are cursing their luck for adding a competition in their way to impress girls."
“But why is he interested in this culinary class? I mean, he doesn’t need this right.
“Must be a crazy one, “ Jacey mocked at the thought
Eva hummed on her thoughts and then got started with their work
Soon, the chef arrived with a young man along his side. The chef introduced him
“I want you all to meet Harry Hudson, who is the only heir of the Hudson empire, and I don’t think I have to mention to you who Hudson is. So please welcome Harry Hudson.”
The boy gave a friendly nod at the class and sat on one of the empty chairs.
The class kept going on and all were attending it with great interest
During the lunch break, Harry started talking with the classmates; the girls were already eager to befriend him, and the boys just formally introduced themselves.
Soon Jacey also introduced herself in limited words.
But when Harry’s eyes spotted Eva, he got dumbstruck by her beauty.
He noticed she didn’t take an interest in him while the other girls were giving him all slutty looks.
She impressed Harry as it was the first time some girl was not taking an interest in him but he doesn’t know how Eva is treating some other men too, who are more famous and handsome from him
Harry reached near her seat and started introducing himself. "Hi, I am Harry Hudson,” he stated while forwarding his hand for handshake
Eva shook her hand with his for a second and started with a calm face. “Eva Johnson “
She pulled back her hand, and Harry missed the touch of her soft skin.
I think you are not from this city, as you didn’t recognise me. I mean, I am the heir of the Hudson group of hotels
“I know that, but here you are only a student like us."
“Right, so right. Well, it was a very nice meeting you, Eva. “
Eva just gave a curt nod at him and again got busy with her notes. Harry kept looking at her for a second and then again returned to his place. Rest of the class, harry kept peeking glances at Eva but he always noticed her busy in taking the notes and listening carefully to the class
When the classes were over, Eva reached the gate of the building, but she couldn’t spot the car or driver. She was going to call those when a solid horn sound disturbed her. She looked around to see harry in his sports car
“Should I drop you somewhere? “
“Nomy ride will be here anytime."
“Should I wait?”
“No, you carry on; I will manage."
"Ok, if you say..."
Harry drove his car a little far and parked in a corner. He wanted to ensure Eva’s safety. Why is he doing this? He himself doesn’t know?
Five minutes later, Eva‘s car reached, and the chauffeur apologized to her for getting late. Eva didn’t complain and got settled in the car
Harry also took a sigh of relief and then left for his home
In Stephen’s office
Stephen was going through the file, which encloses the names of the classmates of Eva. He read about each classmate. All belonged to modest family backgrounds
Most were in committed relationships. He took a sigh of relief as Richard Paul was already added on this competitor list and he is a tough task as Eva already likes him
He resumed his office work when the private investigator knocked on his door. Stephen looked up and nodded at him to enter the cabin
"Sir, actually I am, sir, but I just came to know about this. Just a
Moments before “he slowly forwarded a file towards Stephen
“ What are you talking about? And what is this? ?”
“Sir,,” there is a new admission in Eva mam’s class”
Stephen gave a hard look at him and dismissed him. ,the PI left muttering a small sorry
Stephen opened the file. First, he spotted a handsome boy near Eva’s age. But he didn’t worry about that as looks don’t matter for Eva, she already proved that many times to him and especially Steve.
So he started reading information about him, the first line caught his attention
Harry Hudson the only heir of the Hudson group of hotels
Stephen read the other things and then threw the file on the floor. He still couldn’t believe that the son of his biggest competitor is attending the same class, and Hudson is bad news
“Fuck my life, first time I liked someone but my luck is just going against me, first Eva kept ignoring my presence, then that friend of mine who is making my girl more interested in him, then how could I forgot my brother who will not stop trying for Eva. And now this Harry Hudson, he is rich, belongs to her age group too and I am sure till now Eva must have gained his attention. Why didn’t his father send him some other city for this class or he is capable enough to arrange some private classes for him “
“No matter whatever I have to be dealt with in between us, but Eva is only mine “
The next moment, Stephen connected a call to his security team
“I want a bodyguard for someone special. Every day he has to inform me about every detail about her, whom she met, and whom she hangs out with. And remember that girl shouldn’t know that I am keeping eyes on him, so send your best man for this
Am I clear to you “
“Yes sir , just tell me the name of the girl. The rest of work will be done,”Stephen
“Note it carefully,” Eva Johnson “
That evening Stephen reached home with a sulking mood the moment he kept his foot on the stairs a soft body got collided with him,, his nostrils got filled with the strawberry scent , he looked down and found the girl of his dreams who was looking at him with her doe shaped eyes; she flinched as Stephen was holding her by her waist to prevent her from falling down.
“Sorry actually I missed a step in hurry” .she completed a little hesitantly
Stephen didn’t answer and kept looking at her with his cold face. Eva tried to separate herself from him but his hold got more firm
Stephen bent down and whispered near her ears, “be careful. I don’t want you to fall. “
Eva got stilled, feeling his hot breath near her ear and his words.
Stephen left her and started walking towards his room, whereas Eva was still standing there in shock.
Before she could come out from her shock Steve, who just enters the hall, spotted Eva standing on the first stair in a shock., he smirked at his naughty mind and reached near Eva
“Wow, what a welcome sweetheart, tell me you were waiting for me “
His words broke her trance. She gave a hard look at Steve
“In your dreams, just in your dreams “
Steve grinned at her answer and left for his room.
Eva concentrated on her food during dinner, avoiding the devil's bad mood.
Stephen was eating for name’s sake as he already lost his interest in the food.
A sudden message sound beeped in the room.. It was Eva’s phone. She just gave a look at the message and again resumed with her dinner, but again some message sound started beeping on her phone
“Who is it? Anything important?” Rose asked
“Nothing important. A new admission joined the class group in WhatsApp so everyone is welcoming him.”
“Ooh that’s nice. What's the name of the new bird? “ Steve teased
“ Harry Hudson “
All the faces turn towards Eva, and she got confused at this type of reaction
Before she could ask, a firm voice of William boomed in the dining room.
“Just stay away from him .“
