Chapter 9: It Seems That You are Doing Well.

Eve smiles seeing how her skills still haven't gotten rusty even after not using for a few lifetimes in this fabricated world.

She plugs in a 2 terabyte flash drive to recorded and saves the whole scene to watch it later but before she could have plugged into the USB hub, she saw movements from the screen and she looks back at the image of Diana standing and looking like she was holding Ethan's sleeves.

There was only two CCTV pointing in the direction where Diana's table was, she looked scared judging from her body language. Eve raises a brow and decided to forget about recording the whole thing, she zooms in and tried to find any abnormalities in their interactions.

From what Eve remembers from Molina's memories, Alexander and Diana had a good relationship and never had any conflict. The older man would even provide for the young Graham with whatever she would ask.

So what is going on in B City?

Was this the result of Molina's past actions?

But this was too unreal?

Eve watches as Alexander had a frown on his face the whole time and kept checking on his phone, Ethan and Diana's back was facing Camera 4 and only Alexander's face was shown as he was sitting in front of the two. Camera 3 showed Alexander's back and a few tables from their own, so it wasn't clear what Ethan and Diana looked like as they conversed.

From time to time, it looked like Alexander would sigh judging from how his mouth would move and he was either speaking less or wouldn't listen to his two companions of his.

Actually, he looks very displeased.

Eve was puzzled seeing them, even if she were to interfere, these characters were just random data made by the New World Order. They would continue to follow most of their character settings and wouldn't stray further from their own designs. A few hiccups shouldn't have made a drastic change in their relationship.

"Did the system reboot affected the character settings? " Eve wonder, she watches as Alexander's figure in the screen stood up, he says a few things which made Ethan and Diana look down and Alexander walks away from the table after.

Since the CCTV the Cafe has doesn't have any audio system hooked up in the device, Eve didn't get to know what the three were talking about.

She looks at the two who were left with dejected figures, Ethan looked like he was comforting the young woman with a sweet hug. Eve could only watch and gather nothing from the interaction with Alexander and Diana.

She closes her eyes think carefully, trying to remember from Molina's past memories, searching for any slight conflict or even small misunderstandings between Diana's biggest supporter and Diana.

Eve tried and tried but got nothing, zero image of any of their conflicts or whatsoever.

Eve opens her eyes and looks at the screen, it seems like Ethan and Diana were talking so intimately that Eve didn't want to see what was going on with her step-sibling's relationship. She already knows too much thanks to Molina's memories, she didn't want any more information than that.

She erased her traces of eavesdropping on the network and closes her PC, while doing it, her mind wanders to Alexander.

"It's probably a slight hiccup in the system, I can't let my guard down even if he's on another country," she says, knowing how far and wide Alexander's networks and connection are.

Even in N country, Eve plans to disguise herself whenever she goes out. Who knows if Alexander or Hubert might have also tracked her down, Eve did make a scene during the party to end up being a "disgrace" of the family.

"Let's focus on making Molina climb to her success and earn lots of wealth first" because only that way, Eve would be reassured that Molina wouldn't be touched so easily by the Grahams nor the Millers.

With a determined spirit, she climbs her bed and slept.

Tired from the preparations of her departure to another county, she finally had a decent sleep after that tiring night.

For the past few months after, Eve had managed to erase her tracks, the last thing people might see if they invested in finding her would be her flight to N Country. She doesn't worry about that when the countries population were full of immigrants and travelers all year round.

Learning their language wasn't hard for Eve when all she does was sat in front of the computer to join world trades and had a book on one hand to read on learning the people's language of the said land.

In the first year, she had been in N country, Eve had slept in the mornings and work on monitoring Diana and Alexander's move at night, while she checked on her past investments and manage to become a major shareholder on one of the biggest popular software in this world.

After seeing Diana and Alexander had not been in contact after that time in the cafe, except for when Alexander manages to be in Graham's company for business deals and would exchange formalities with Diana, it seems to Eve that she didn't have to keep an eye with their interactions.

So Eve focused on investing and eventually become one of the largest individuals shareholders of the multinational technology company, Dimension Corporation.

After she invested on lands, apartments, villa's and condominiums, and resorts, she was planning to invest in Hotel chains that were gaining huge profit but knowing ML company president Alexander Miller had a lot of people working in the hotel and service industry, she decides to disregard the idea.

Eve comes out of her apartment whenever she was needed to present herself in the company as a shareholder or just out to go get groceries. She didn't have the luxury to enjoy the world's design.

In the past worlds, all she does is make sure the world's progress reached 100% and she could finally leave to the next one. She had no time to relax when all she was doing was worry about any sudden task that might pop out of the system, and every time she finished a world, she had no time even to collect her thoughts and rest.

Eve would leave one world and then was sent to the other one the next second.

It was tiring and starting to dampened her mood in every world. The new world order really wants her to go mad and lose her sanity.

Too bad I'm stubborn as a bull.

She was grocery shopping in the nearest Mall for her week's consumption, after being in N country for two years, she could confidently say she won't be lost without using the GPS anymore.

Eve pushes the cart filled with different products and boxes to the other aisle. Her eyes wander to the row of shelves as she passes by other customers and workers, it was a lively time of the year when the weather has turn cold and the snow starts to pile up outside the roads and building, turning the world into a soft white blanket.

She had looked outside of the glass wall of the mall's grocery store to see the people walking on the sidewalk and the cars passing by one after another.

Back in her previous life, she would enjoy the Christmas season alone in her place with three large screens connected to different planets and countries CCTV's, she would watch the lively streets and the people, watching fireworks on her screen in a gloomy room.

Unlike her original situation, this one right now with Molina doesn't seem to be different. She fixes her hair before looking at the slightly blurred reflection of the large glass.

Eve was wearing a simple white shirt and a brown large trenchcoat to protect herself from the cold, dark skinny jeans, and brown winter boots to match. She retracts her gaze from the view outside the window and takes out her phone, before pushing her cart again.

Her golden eyes cast down to look at her grocery list written down on her memo app, she heads to the last aisle where there were fewer customers around. She ignores the stolen glances from the men on some aisle and turns to a corner, not even surprised as she stops walking when a person blocks her way.

Eve looks up and didn't show any hints of surprise, she did expect for this to happen.

"It seems that you are doing well Molina

"The man wore a smile on his face and stood straight with both hands inside his pockets, he stood there in the middle of an empty aisle as if he was waiting for her to appear in the corner.

The mall music played in the background as Alexander gave her a warm smile, the distance between them didn't stop him from not touching her head.

He reaches out and brushed off her hair and tilts his head slightly to look at her face clearly. Dark eyes are full of warmth even with the cold color of the abyss.

Molina stood there and watches him as he does what he wants, she didn't look at him like how she did when they first met. She politely smiles at him and accepted the intimate action without any problem.

Alexander slowly retrieves his hand and place it back in his coat pocket.

"It's been a while, how have you been? " He continued and followed as Molina walks into the way to grab a few cleaning materials.
