Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 103: Someone Covets Sister-in-Law
Egbert Chumley was seen taking out his phone again and handing it to Eloise Thompson, before speaking up again, "Add a WhatsApp so you can get in touch if anything happens in the future."
Eloise Thompson didn't refuse, taking the phone and entering her WhatsApp number before handing it back to Egbert Chumley.
"I'll leave you to it then, I'll be in touch some other time."
"Okay, Alumni take care on the way."
"Hmm."
Egbert Chumley's mellow voice spoke in response as he walked to his car, giving Eloise Thompson a tender look before starting the car and leaving.
And that scene was just witnessed by Layla Davidson, who had returned from an errand outside.
Staring in the direction of the car leaving, Layla Davidson asked, "Eloise, who was that guy taking you back to the office?"
"Oh, Manager Layla, the manager of the Chumley Group, I went to see him this afternoon to communicate about the partnership, only to replace out it was one of my Alumni from university," says Eloise Thompson, and she's not holding back. As they spoke, the two walked into the office.
"Really? What a coincidence!" Layla Davidson smiled, but couldn't help but look a little odd.
Layla Davidson had a bad feeling in her heart, she could tell by the look in that man's eyes just now that he had something in mind for Eloise Thompson! Or was it Alumni from college, not easy by the looks of it!
Once back in the office, Layla Davidson rushed to call Rupert Rogers to report the matter to him.
After hanging up the phone, without saying a word, Rupert Rogers rushed to his office and spoke urgently to Hector Rogers: "Brother, something is wrong, there is a guy, who covets his sister-in-law."
Hector Rogers was looking at the document when he heard the words and his gaze sank slightly.
These days, he was rather busy, so he didn't have much time to take Solomon to Eloise Thompson. Hearing this from Rupert Rogers at this point, Hector Rogers spoke up and asked, "What's going on?"
"What else could it be, my sister-in-law has a man in her hand because of a project." Hector Rogers: "..."
He gave Eloise Thompson a breathless look and pursed his lips, "What a fuss."
"No, brother, hear me out! That man was his sister-in-law's Alumni in college, and I knew when I first investigated her that he had always liked her, but he was snatched away by Robbie Gardner before he could confess his love, and this time when they reunite, this Egbert Chumley must be thinking of courting her."
Hector Rogers sniffed, his eyes flickering slightly, but his face didn't change much either.
Rupert Rogers saw that he wasn't in any hurry and couldn't help but say, "Brother, you can't go on like this, you can't let women be lonely for too long, otherwise they will change their mind in a minute. "
"She won't." Hector Rogers spoke up, trusting Eloise Thompson, and after a pause, his eyes glanced lightly at Hector Rogers and added, "Have you been too idle lately? I'll get you some more work if you don't have anything to do?" "No... brother, IIII, I have things to do, I won't bother you with your work."
With those words, Rupert Rogers rushed out of the office.
It was only when he stepped outside that he slowed his pace. Looking at the office door, Rupert Rogers couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this brother of his was so insensitive, and that he had been so kind as to remind him, and yet he still didn't stop.
When one day his sister-in-law is snatched away by someone else, he will have to cry, and he will not care about the two of them anymore.
Rupert Rogers thought as he was about to leave, when Reeva Lawson approached.
Dressed in a black professional outfit, she looked smart and elegant, and when she saw Hector Rogers, Reeva Lawson stepped forward and smiled, "Rupert, here to see your brother!"
"Well, but I didn't say two words before I got kicked out." Rupert Rogers spoke up and grumbled, then added, "Reeva, you usually say something to my brother so he doesn't get up at work and forget about everything."
"I said that, but it's not like you don't know your brother, it's not much use, he went to see a client late last night and has to go again tonight, I don't know how much more he's going to drink."
Reeva Lawson often persuaded Hector Rogers to take an early break, but the man wouldn't listen and was always cold to her, which she couldn't help.
"You said he's going to be socialising again tonight?"
Reeva Lawson nodded.
Rupert Rogers sniffed, his eyes narrowing slightly as something clicked in his mind, then smiled and spoke, "I'll be there tonight."
Reeva Lawson said, "No, I can come along, I am Mr Hector's secretary after all, Rupert you can go and do other things or get some rest."
"Don't bother, it's not safe for you to be a girl that late, I'll just go with my brother tonight."
But in the back of his mind, Hector Rogers was thinking, "What if you eat my brother's dick tonight?" Well, how could he possibly leave Reeva Lawson alone with his brother at a social function! Reeva Lawson didn't say anything in the end, and after Rupert Rogers left, she returned to her place, surrounded by colleagues who greeted her warmly.
After a few weeks, Reeva Lawson's ability to work was evident to all.
Plus she is enthusiastic and cheerful and the eldest member of the Lawson family, without any pretensions.
So not only do her colleagues enjoy the company of Reeva Lawson, but they think she and Hector Rogers are a perfect match.
Knowing what everyone was thinking, Reeva Lawson couldn't help but feel a little smug inside.
Her mind wandered back to the woman Eloise Thompson, whose movements she had been sending out to keep an eye on for the past few days.
Matriarch Godbold approached Eloise Thompson and Reeva Lawson found out about it.
Without thinking, Reeva Lawson can guess what Matriarch Godbold and Eloise Thompson have said.
Hector Rogers has been too busy with work to go to Eloise Thompson these past two days, and Solomon has the Rogers family on his side to keep him in check.
At this rate, Eloise Thompson will sooner or later fade into oblivion.
At the thought, Reeva Lawson couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
...
By the end of the evening, Rupert Rogers was already waiting downstairs near the Rogers Group, and just after eight o'clock Hector Rogers and Reeva Lawson stepped out of the lift. "Brother!" Rupert Rogers smiled and opened his mouth in greeting.
Reeva Lawson's face changed as she thought Rupert Rogers was just talking, but she didn't expect him to actually come.
Hector Rogers looked at him with a hint of suspicion, as if to ask what he wanted.
"Brother, I heard you have a dinner party tonight, so I was planning to go with you to learn more about it."
With that said, Rupert Rogers was already one step ahead of Reeva Lawson in the passenger seat.
Reeva Lawson had to go to the back row alone.
Hector Rogers didn't stop either and the three headed for the clubhouse.
On the way, Rupert Rogers was in a good mood, looking for something to talk about.
Reeva Lawson felt a little remorseful, knowing that she should not have spoken to Rupert Rogers this morning, so that he would not have followed her tonight and she would have been alone with Hector Rogers. In her mind, though, Reeva Lawson didn't show it, smiling every now and then to answer Rupert Rogers' words.
