Chapter 25 What Are They Doing?! 

Chapter25: What Are They Doing?! Evelyn felt uneasy in the passenger seat. 

“This car… 

“I bought it at Christie’s auction seven years ago. I went all–in.“Going all–in” was auction slang, meaning the buyer would outbid anyone, regardless of the price. It demonstrated absolute determination.The “Corona” had set a world record at that auction. 

Evelyn smiled, touching the car.“So you’re the one who bought it.” 

know you were its first owner,” Damon finished her sentence. He’d seen her race, her triumphant smile after removing her helmet. Nothing was more captivating. He looked at the rain–streaked windshield.“Evelyn, do you still have your dreams?” Evelyn’s eyes widened, her fingers tracing the Corona’s door She thought she’d never see it again.Her racing days seemed like a distant memory. 

A low sob escaped her throat. I’ll earn enough to buy it back. Would you be willing to sell?” 

Damon smiled. “I’ll wait for you.” 

Evelyn, ignoring the rain, sat at the desk, connected to the internet, and requested to continue the ALI Math Competition.For fairness, they gave her a different exam to complete within the remaining time. 

Damon leaned against the doorframe, watching her intently as she typed.He couldn’t get enough of her focused concentration. 

Reed Corporation Headquarters: 

“Mr. Reed, Mrs. Reed got into Mr. Sterling’s car and went to the Sterling residence.” 

Caleb laughed, amused. 

‘Does she know the code to Ocean Breeze Villas has been changed?” 

The secretary nodded. “The community manager called Mrs. Reed said she discarded her belongings.” 

Caleb scoffed, “She found someone new.No wonder,” 

His phone vibrated.A man’s voice said, “Mr. Reed, you passed the initial screening for Golden Glow Entertainment’s male escort department. With your looks and physique, you can start working tomorrow!” 

A surge of: 

anger coursed through Caleb; his, temples throbbed. 

“Do you know who I am?” 

The man clearly didn’t.“Mr. Reed, come to Golden Glow Entertainment tonight. Thirty thousand base salary plus. commission.Do 

have pecs? Send some

Caleb hung up, his nostrils flaring.He ordered his secretary:

“Contact Golden Glow Entertainment’s owner and fire their HR manager in the male escort. department!” 

But, how did the HR manager get his number? He recalled mentioning Golden Glow 

Chapter25. What Are They Doing?! 

Entertainment during his call with Evelyn.She must have created a resume and applied under his name.She was playing with fire! 

He rubbed his temples, his face darkening. 

Evelyn worked furiously at her computer as dusk fell. 

Preschool: 

Lily sat quietly, her hands on her lap.Other children were being picked up. Lily waved 

odbye. Tommy was sprawled in his seat. 

“Why isn’t Say here yet?!” he complained. 

“Tommy!” 

Savannah appeared.Tommy jumped up. 

“Sav! You’re late!” 

“I bought you this!” She pulled out a black crossbow. 

“Wow!“His eyes lit up. Savannah knew he loved this kind of thing; Evelyn wouldn’t let him touch 

crossbows. 

“You’re so cool with this crossbow!” 

Tommy grabbed it, striking a heroic pose.“Sav, where are the bolts?” 

She gave him a box of metal bolts.He loved them 

ally, not plastic bolts! Sav, I love you!“.

Lily. 

“Boys should play with real crossbows and bolts! 

Tommy excitedly

“Lily, why isn’t your mother here?” 

Lily didn’t look at her.“Mommy’s busy. She’ll be here soon.” 

“Your mother has no sense of responsibility!” 

Savannah called Caleb. 

“It’s late, and Evelyn hasn’t picked up Lily. I heard Lily’s stomach rumbling. I can’t reach Evelyn. Should I go to her brother’s gym?” 

“No. I’ll pick up Lily.” Caleb’s voice was as cold as winter snow.Savannah wouldn’t find Evelyn there anyway; she’d been at the Sterlings‘ since the afternoon. 

What were she and Damon doing? She forgot to pick up Lily! 

Sterling Residence: 

Evelyn finished her exam just in time.She’d been three hours behind schedule; completing the alternate exam was stressful.Clicking “submit,” she felt a profound sense of relief.She’d done it!Her life was about to change dramatically. 

Noticing the time, she jumped up. Lily was still at school!She had to pick her up. 

She rushed out, not bothering to shut down her computer.Damon approached, carrying milk “Finished?” 

“Yes,” she responded, heading to the entrance. 

“Going to get Lily?” 

“My phone was on silent. I missed her calls.” Her voice was tense.She’d planned to pick up Lily, then take the test, aiming to submit by 3 pm. The power outage had cost her three hours. “I contacted your brother, the… large one. I hope he picked up Lily.” 

Evelyn looked up sharply. 

Lance picked up Lily?” 

imon smiled warmly. “I didn’t want to disturb you.” 

His phone rang, the warmth vanishing from his eyes. 

“Hmm, he’s here? Okay, I understand.“He hung up.“Caleb’s at the preschool. He won’t let Lance take Lily.” 

Evelyn’s expression hardened. “I’m going now.” 

“I’ll go with you.” 

She wanted to refuse, but it was her personal matter. He handed her the Corona’s keys.“You drive, okay? I want to sit in the passenger seat of a car driven by a champion racer.
