Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 148 - Causing Doubt

Andy was going to get out of his car if Eva did not come out after a few minutes. However, just after that few minutes, Eva walked out of the door. She was unharmed nor looked worried. She continued walking down the street.

Andy grabbed his phone and dialed the number of the bodyguards that was supposed to be watching Eva.

"Yes, Boss?"

"Where is Eva right now?"

"Uh... isn't she suppose to be with you right now? She said she was going to meet up with you and that we were dismissed for tonight."

Andy did not reply back to the bodyguard. The bodyguard felt that something was wrong. "Is there any trouble?"

"No." Andy replied. "Next time, whatever excuses she makes to not have you guys by her side, I want you to let her go and watch her from a distance."

"Boss, you want us to spy on the Miss?"

"Unless you want to lose your job instead for not watching her properly."

The bodyguard gulped. "No, no. We will do as you instruct, boss."

Andy hung up the phone and dialed his secretary.

"CEO Yang, what can I do for you?"

"I want you to find all the residents who live in the address that I will text to you soon. Narrow it down to men who are 30 and above. Do a thorough background check on all of them and make sure you have a picture. Get this done by tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir."

Andy hung up again and stared out to the building. 'What is Eva doing here that she lied to me?'

He sighed. He doesn't want to give her the benefit of the doubt but he will slowly confront her about it. Instead of driving back home, he went to Eva's apartment that his mother bought for her. He had never been here before but Eva had given him the key.

He parked his car and went up to Eva's apartment. He opened it and the apartment was dark. It would be a while before Eva came home if she was walking. She never liked the taxi or buses so she would walk everywhere.

Andy felt like he was overdoing this. He once punished Lena for doing the same thing to him when he went out to have dinner with a business partner who was a female. Looking back to that now, he understood Lena and how paranoia it can be to have doubt in a relations.h.i.+p. Although back then, he did not love Lena.

Andy took off his shoes and put his car keys on the counter. He looked around the living room first before going to the bedroom. He quickly searched her bedroom and everything was normal. He relaxed his mind a bit, knowing that he did not find anything out of the ordinary.

He heard the door opening and he got off the bed to go open it.

"Surprised!" Andy spoke.

"Andy! I thought you were a robber." Andy did not know if Eva was shocked or scared or both. She was somewhat nervous. "Why are you here?"

"Thought that I can stay over tonight. I missed you." Andy hugged her and dragged her inside her apartment. "You're still not mad at me right?"

"No." Eva kissed him on the cheek. "It's just some stupid rings. Our love is more than the rings."

Eva dropped her bag on the sofa and walked to the kitchen. "Did you have dinner? I can cook something."

"I already ordered."

"Oh.. okay then. Why don't you go take a shower then? You just came back from work, you smell like work."

"Mhm.. k."

Andy walked to the guestroom. It was a room that Eva had already prepared for Andy if he ever came over. Since Andy was a very conserved man, they never slept in the same room. He went into the bathroom that was connected to his room.

He took off his clothes and went into the shower. He turned on the faucet and nothing came on. He scowled. This was a very expensive apartment and the water is not working? He put on a bathrobe and walked to Eva's bathroom instead. She was in the living room, trying to clean up a few stuff and did not notice him going into her room.

Andy turned on the shower in there and it ran fine. He took a quick shower and got out. Eva knocked on the bathroom door.

"Andy, is that you in there?"

"Yeah" He called out as he tried to find himself a towel to dry himself. "The shower is broken in my room."

"What?! I will call for maintenance tomorrow. Hurry so I can go next."

He laughed. "Okay."

He opened the closet where the towels would be. He grabbed the top one but a box fell out.

"Sh*t." Andy covered the towel on his waist and bent down to collect the contents that fell out of the tiny box.

Before he even picked them up, he noticed that there was a pack on condoms. It was not opened. He stuffed it back to the bigger container. He picked up a pack of contraceptive pills, which looked like it has been used for a while now.

He looked at the bathroom door. 'Why would Eva use these when I clearly told her I was not going to do it until after we got married?' These items were causing doubt to their relations.h.i.+p.

Andy put the item back into the container. The next item he picked up was a white medicine bottle. There were no labels on it. He opened the container and took out one pill. The pill was white. It has an A on one side and a heart on the other.

Andy kept one pill and closed the bottle. He put it back in the container and pushed it back to where it fell down from the closet.

He opened the bathroom door and Eva was sitting on her bed waiting for him to exit out.

"What took you so long? I thought something bad might have happened to you in there."

"Nothing. Just men stuff."

Eva blushed and quickly ran into the bathroom. Andy looked back at her then at the pill he was holding in his hands. He went back to his room and put the pill in his wallet.

Eva was still in the shower when the food got delivered. Andy set up the food in the dining table and waited for her to be done. She entered the area a few minutes later.

"Hey, I love this food." Eva sat down by Andy and smiled.

"I know."

Eva started eating the food first and then Andy did too. In the middle of their dinner, Andy paused and looked at Eva.

"Eva, you are not in any kind of trouble are you?"

Eva stopped eating and looked at Andy. She was confused. "No."

Andy already did a deep background check on Eva way back then when he just had a crush on her. She had no loans nor any relations.h.i.+p with bad people. She had never had a relations.h.i.+p with anyone. She spent a good time with Ming Zhao but they were just good friends.

"You know that if anything bad happens, you can always tell me and we can solve it together?"

"I know." Eva smiled at the handsome man. "That is why we are going to get married. So we can solve everything together."

After dinner, they both cuddled on the sofa and watched a movie. It felt nice to hold Eva in his arms, but his mind was elsewhere. Eva could feel that Andy was not paying attention to the movie. He was not laughing at the funny parts.

"Something wrong, babe?"

"Eva... do you want kids right after we get married or later?"

"Me? Well of course as soon as possible. That is fine with you, right?"

Andy faked a smile at her and kissed her forehead. "Yeah."

So she said that she wanted a kid immediately, but she is on the pills? Does this have to do with his mother? The both of them have been too close lately, it was somewhat scary.
