Chapter 550
Having previously studied here, Eva, despite her lost memories, found the place somewhat familiar. As she dropped off the two children, she stood at the doorway as fleeting images flashed through her mind. The images came and went too quickly for Eva to capture, and soon they were gone.
She paused in her steps, and the person beside her stopped as well.
“What’s wrong?” Adrian reached out to support her waist, his attention almost entirely on her.
Eva shook her head. “It’s nothing p>
Though she said that, Adrian still looked at her worriedly.
“Let’s go, I’ll go in and have a look too p>
The next second, Eva pushed his hand away and walked inside.
Her memories seemed to be triggered by certain places, and while her current life was quite happy and made the recovery of her memories seem unimportant, after seeing that Facebook post, she felt that there were things she needed to know the truth about.
Even if it might make her unhappy, it was better than being in the dark.
Adrian followed her, his gaze thoughtful as he watched her back.
Once inside, Eva’s eyes were fixed on the children, and as they moved, some familiar yet strange scenes began to emerge before her.
But, once again, they were fleeting. She couldn’t grasp much and ended up with nothing.
Eva could only sigh in resignation, deciding to take it slow.
It was only the first day, and she had already managed to catch glimpses of her past, which was quite impressive. She would come every day, and perhaps with a little more time, her memories would fully return.
On the way back, Eva told Adrian that she wanted to pick up the children from school every day.
Adrian didn’t react much, only saying lightly, “You’re taking over mom’s job p>
Eva was startled to hear this.
“But doesn’t Mom have other things to do p>
Adrian’s lips curled up, “Since we got married, she may not have said it, but her daily wish is to take care of the children p>
Eva fell silent.
It was clear that Margaret loved Ruby and Dylan very much.
Not only was her mother but also her great-grandmother was extremely fond of the children, showing reluctance in their eyes whenever Eva and Adrian took the children away.
Eva hadn’t felt much in the morning, but now that Adrian brought it up, she finally understood.
“Besides, aren’t you giving up your company p>
This sudden statement from Adrian shocked Eva.
She looked at Adrian in surprise. “Company p>
“Yes.” Adrian’s lips curled into a smile. “It was a company you worked hard to start p>
Eva hadn’t expected that she owned a company.
She pursed her lips and asked subconsciously, “Where is it p>
“Want to go take a look?” Adrian asked.
“What do you think p>
After all, it was her company, how could she not want to see it?
“Let’s go take a look then p>
The next second, Adrian instructed the driver to change destinations, and they quickly turned around. Eva grew curious.
“You said I have my own company, so who has been managing it while I’ve been busy with my own things p>
Who’d been managing it?
It was thanks to the capable manager she had hired, who, after she was indisposed, managed to keep the company afloat with his management skills.
Later, Jacob found someone to help, and with Tim’s salary increased, one could say that his direct supervisor was now Adrian. The pay came from Adrian, but the work was for Eva.
Adrian had reviewed his resume and found it impressive; the man could have had a good career elsewhere but chose to manage a smaller company.
Before giving him his position, Adrian had a candid conversation about work with Tim.
“My wife, my children, and my parents are all in this city. I could work at a larger company, but they’re not suitable for me. I believe that the weight of things in everyone’s life is different. Some may think a career is more important, but for me, family is the most important p>
“So, I just want to find the best job in the right place, nothing more p>
Thus, Adrian offered him the best position possible here, a win-win situation for Tim.
With the investment from the Blackwood family, Tim was very optimistic about the company, and even with Eva often absent, he never thought of leaving.
Especially after Adrian gave him a raise.
The salary Adrian offered was more than what he would have earned at a larger company, so now Tim treated Eva’s company as if it were his own.
He had everything he wanted, plus a high salary, so what was there to be dissatisfied about?
When Eva found out that a manager she had hired was managing the company, she was quite shocked.
“It’s been quite a while since I’ve even stepped foot in the company, and he’s still managing it for me? Doesn’t he think the company might not make it?” Adrian smiled meaningfully. “He probably sees you as a promising stock to invest in p>
“Me p>
“Yes. He came from a senior management position at a large company and has his own unique vision p>
Eva was taken aback.
She felt like Adrian was praising her too highly; she turned her face away in embarrassment, not continuing the conversation. After the car arrived at the company, Eva followed Adrian into the elevator.
All the way, Adrian was leading her. When they got into the crowded elevator, Eva instinctively hid in his embrace.
Adrian, seeing this, also took the opportunity to wrap her in his arms, using his tall figure to shield her from other people’s touch.
Eva leaned against Adrian’s chest, inhaling his distinct masculine scent as her hand subconsciously clutched the hem of his clothes.
When she looked up, she found herself caught in his dark, deep eyes.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
Eva shook her head, “I’m fine p>
Adrian’s lips curled into a satisfied smile at her dependence on him. With one hand against the elevator wall, he reached out with the other to grasp Eva’s wrist, guiding her hand inside his coat to rest on his lean waist as he whispered in her ear, “Hold on to me to avoid getting unsteady if it gets too crowded p>
Eva felt a wash of embarrassment flood her face.
She felt like he was taking advantage of her.
