Marrying Young Miss Kaya Raya

"So?" Ziva narrowed his eyes, looking at Evelyn suspiciously. "You like Alvin, don't you?"

"I. well, I admit I do like it, a little."

"A little, you said."

"Em, yeah. Little." Evelyn smiled awkwardly.

Ziva sullens cynically. He's surprised. It is clear that Evelyn does have a taste for Alvin, but she still does not want to be honest one hundred percent.

"The point is I just want to help Alvin, that's all. I don't want to see her pride being trampled by Karina." Evelyn explained. "You saw for yourself what Karina was doing at the club back then, right?"

"Yes, but not by getting Alvin to do that ridiculous thing." Ziva looked at Evelyn cynically. "After all, we were working with Karina at the club at that time. Is it still unsatisfied?"

"What the hell is wrong with you? You seem to want to say that what I'm doing is wrong."

"Yes, it's wrong. I told you that since. You're wrong on all sides. It's all wrong. Think again Eve, you're just 'a little' like it but you've dared to do something silly like this. Then what if you're really crazy about him later. You could finish off someone else, maybe."

"Do you think so?" Evelyn stared in amazement. "Well, doesn't that mean I'm amazing, yeah."

"Yes my. You're this really." Ziva sighed tiredly while peeking at the base of his nose. Instead of realizing her mistake, Evelyn looked proud.

Evelyn chuckled at the frustrated reaction of her best friend. To Evelyn, Ziva looks very pleasant if he is upset with her.

"This is ridiculous, Eve. Absolutely ridiculous." Ziva's nagging.

"Come Ziva. Why do you look so unhappy that I'm helping her."

"I'm glad you helped her, Eve. I even helped you out at the club, right?"

"Yes, I remember." Evelyn rolled her eyes lazily.

"You're not wrong if you want to help him. But that doesn't mean you have to meddle that deep. You even put him in your lies, Eve."

Evelyn took a sip of her drink and sighed lazily. "Yes, I know he lied because of me. But here I just want to defend the truth, Ziva. Alvin. That's why and I hate her ex so much."

"Defending what truth. This is not defending the truth. But you got Alvin into a deeper abyss. Gorgeous lies. Defending the truth by using lies. Oh gosh. I'm so confused, since when did you become like this."

"Like this, what?"

Evelyn could not help but smile. He looked at Ziva for a moment, then closed his eyes, trying to remember the last time he was like this.

"I've been this way since I met Alvin, I guess. I have changed since I met him. I've been doing things without thinking since I met Alvin."

"Well, you're even aware that you're doing something without thinking." Ziva sneered. "Love can make someone crazy."

Evelyn chuckled again,

"Not just love."

"What?"

"Love is not enough. But Alvin changed me. If it were someone else I wouldn't be sure I would do the same. It has to be Alvin. Ah, I was really interested in him even from the beginning of our meeting. And I want her to be mi-"

"You want him to be yours." cut Ziva fast.

Evelyn immediately snapped her laughter. He was silent, his mouth tightly clenched, shocked at how Ziva could know what he was going to say.

"How are you-"

"How do I know, that's what you're trying to say, isn't it?"

Evelyn nodded

"I knew. Because it looks obvious. It even seems obvious that you're really upset just because he didn't recognize you at the nightclub. I know you're 'a little' into it." explains Ziva.

"Not only upset, but disappointed to be more exact." - Eralat Evelyn. "Originally you know Ziva, I've been waiting for this opportunity. A chance to get close to him. And when that opportunity finally comes, where might I be wasted, right?"

"Yes, but I don't think you need to be such a psychopath. Ah, I'm getting creepy looking at you."

Evelyn chuckled, "The matter of interfering or not is another matter. Obviously my offer still applies to him. And I hope that he'll accept my offer soon."

Ziva rolled his eyeballs, "Are you sure Alvin will accept your ridiculous offer?"

"I'm not sure, but I'll keep waiting for that moment to come."
