Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Family Function (I)

"Ugh, which one should I wear?" Eve continued screening through her wardrobe. She picked a few outfits that she thought would be suitable for the event, from an autumn maxi dress down to an evening gown, but none of those satisfied her.

On top of that, Alex’s words when she asked about the dress code were ’Just regular business casual. It’s a family function with lunch, no formal event.’

And when Eve asked whether it would be better for her to wear a dress or a typical work outfit, Alex simply smiled mysteriously and said.

’Everything looks amazing on you. Suit yourself.’

"That guy is really a good liar. But why would I ask for his opinion in the first place? Ugh, Evelyn, you’re an idiot," Eve cursed at herself as she threw a few dresses to the bed to see if one of them would be a good fit.

She picked a few of them and checked herself in the mirror to find the right dress, but her focus was interrupted when there was a knock on the door.

"Eve, are you ready yet?"

"Not yet!" Eve responded when she heard Alex’s voice.

"What’s holding you for so long? I’ve been waiting for an hour," Alex said from the other side of the door, and from his tone, it was obvious that he started to get impatient.

"I’m trying to find the right dress! You don’t give me any proper dress code."

"Just use your usual business day outfit, really. It’d be better if they think that you just got off work," Alex said. "Besides, you are already beautiful enough for everything. You can wear a rag and still turn heads."

"Turning heads for wearing a rag, of course!" Eve debated, but she actually listened to his advice just now about wearing the usual business outfit.

Her casual business day outfit was a pencil skirt or denim jeans, with a blouse and a coat for autumn and winter.

’I guess, I can wear that to give the feeling of a businesswoman,’ Eve pondered. ’Maybe finding the right color will do me good.’

Alex sighed.

He checked on his watch impatiently, and it had been almost two hours since he waited for Eve to get ready.

Of course, there would be no ’tardiness’ in that family function, since the whole event wouldn’t start without him. But he got impatient because Eve wasn’t usually this tardy.

As he was about to knock again, the door was finally opened from the inside, and Eve stood in front of him shyly.

He held his breath as he was observing her from head to toe.

"So, uhm, what do you think? Is it decent enough?"

Eve had that idea of ’business casual’ ingrained in her mind as she picked this outfit.

It was an off-shoulder white sweater, combined with a peach-colored pencil skirt that hugged her waist perfectly. She carried a black clutch and wore a small teardrop earring and her signature ’E’ necklace. Lastly, she wore leather oyster-white ankle boots, just like what she’d wear to the office during this colder autumn.

She didn’t know if it was proper enough, but this was what she came up with.

Alex was observing her from head to toe, and his eyes locked on her waist and her cleavage.

Eve already made sure that she didn’t show much cleavage, but she was naturally blessed with an hourglass-shaped body and well-developed breasts.

"Mm, what a nice view," Alex hummed approvingly with a perverted grin.

Eve quickly pulled her top higher to cover the exposed cleavage and glared at him, "I mean the clothes! Stop staring at my boobs!"

"Sorry, force of habit," Alex chuckled, but he still hadn’t moved his eyes from that area, shamelessly staring as if his eyes were glued there. "You look perfect as always. But I think you should wear a coat."

"Is it not indoor?"

"It is," Alex replied. "But your boobs are... distracting, and I happen to be a jealous type, remember?"

Eve’s lips thinned.

She recalled when they were still dating, and it was true, Alex was indeed a jealous type.

He would still allow her to wear something less concealed in public, like a sundress, party dress, or even a bikini. But he would be in a terrible mood throughout the day.

He would try to block other men from checking her out with his big body, and would sometimes drape his jacket on her shoulder and tie it on her waist.

In the end, he would do a little revenge by fucking her ten times harder than usual at night, making sure that he got his point across that he was THE jealous type.

An off-shoulder top shouldn’t be a problem back then, but he seemed to have changed now.

’Aren’t we in a business relationship? Why is he getting possessive all of a sudden?’ Eve wanted to call him out, but for some reason, she didn’t feel like debating with Alex right now.

So she walked back to her room and grabbed a leather coat. She draped it on her shoulder and asked, "Happy now?"

Alex smiled, "At least I won’t be distracted anymore, for now."

Thus, Alex and Eve used the elevator to the underground garage. There were plenty of choices for them to pick, and honestly, with all the choices in front of her, all she wanted was to use the same Bentley that Alex used to pick her up before.

"Just use the Bentley."

"Sure, is there any reason why’d you pick this one?" Alex asked as he guided her to the Bentley and opened the door for her.

"It’s the first car that I’ve written in our dream journal," Eve said as she sat in the passenger seat. She looked up at Alex and smiled. "It holds a special place in my heart."

"It holds a special place in my heart too, because you like it," Alex said ambiguously before closing the door for her.

He walked around the car and sat in the driver’s seat.

"Alright, ready to meet my family?" Alex asked as he started the car.

"No, my stomach is churning right now," Eve replied honestly. "But I am not someone who’d back down from what I’ve planned for. Let’s go and make me your pretend girlfriend for a day."

’And forever,’ Alex added in his heart before he drove the car out of the garage.
