Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 336

336 /336

There was still no news of her. She had asked Glenn about it earlier, but he had been evasive. She hadn't pushed. She knew that being impatient would only add to his anxiety, and he was already more desperate to find Theresa than anyone.

Linda and Tabitha then helped her choose jewelry and plan her makeup for the date. It was her first real date, and as everything fell into place, a strange, fluttering feeling settled in her stomach. She couldn't quite name it, but it was a mixture of anticipation and a dreamlike sense of unreality.

The moonlight was bright, casting a silver sheen over the ground.

The next day, Evangeline got dressed, did her makeup, and headed out. When she arrived at the office, Theo's eyes nearly popped out of his head. She usually wore minimal makeup to work, but lately, rushing to and from the factory, she had skipped it altogether. He had gotten used to seeing her looking tired and disheveled. The sudden transformation was stunning.

He had never realized just how beautiful she could be. *No wonder Glenn is so crazy about her,* he thought.

He sauntered over, trying to sound casual. "Got a date today?"

Evangeline nodded.

"With that Mr. Lockridge guy?" Theo pressed.

"Mmm-hmm," she confirmed. "I'll be leaving an hour early tonight, Director Shaw. I'll have to leave the rest to you."

Work had stabilized. UME's sales in the low-end market had plateaued after their initial boom, and the most critical phase of the factory setup was complete. There wasn't much left for Theo to handle, but he still felt a pang of disappointment.
