Bewitched His Soul - Chapter 135
“I wish you all the best and seeing your progression that day is not far ,”the man complimented and Evelyn smiled.
The man turned off the recording button and then asked for a photo and autograph while Evelyn happily obliged his request .
“Thanks a lot , never excepted the interview to go so smoothly ,”the man said .
He had interviewed many celebrities some of them have made him want to pull his hair .They never came on time , kept on retouching their makeup after every few minutes or refused to answers the questions. It had become a normal routine for him to deal with such annoying celebrities and he half expected Evelyn may be difficult to get along but now it proved how easy going and chilled out person she was.
“You have chosen some good questions ,”Evelyn stated.
Some interviewers went too personal or kept on forcing her to give an answer which they wanted to hear .This man has only kept the interview at a surface level and finished it in a short time. The man understood what she was hinting at and gave a smile .
Evelyn’s eyes unknowingly searched for Daniel but he was nowhere to be seen so she thought maybe he has returned back home.
After changing her costume and removing the makeup Evelyn was in her room packing the luggage when her assistant entered.
“Thank god .We are leaving this place finally .If I stayed one more I will go crazy without using my phone,”The assistant cribbed.
“Ya me too ,I am counting minutes when I will be home ,”Evelyn stated.
“Here let me do it ,”the assistant continued to pack the remaining luggage while Evelyn went to sit on the bed.
“Tell me , which do you want to wear ,”the assistant held two clothes , one is a floral dress and another one is a jumpsuit.
“We are travelling ,is there a need to wear such good clothes ,”Evelyn asked.
“Oh no , I forgot to inform you .The cottage staff has planned a small farewell party for us .I couldn’t say no when they asked so politely .It’s just an hour and that too in the lawn ,”the assistant explained.
“But what about our flight ,”Evelyn frowned.
“The party starts at 5 and the flight is at 9 so we have a lot of time .Our luggage will be loaded in the vehicle and after party we are directly going to the airport ,”The assistant replied.
“But still I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Evelyn was in no mood for any party .
“Oh this will not be like parties back home .There will be a fire camp and we will eat yummy food .If you don’t feel like talking just sit at the corner I will handle everything ,”the assistant assured her.
“Sure..,”Evelyn agreed unwillingly .
There was a nagging voice at the back of her mind which kept of warning something will go wrong but she decided to ignore it , only later will she realize what a big mistake she made.
Evelyn took bath and choose the floral dress . Her face was bare of any make up and she wore kitten heels .When she went down the party was as exactly as her assistant described , kind of low key and close knitted.
The cottage staff , the photographer and his team and her assistant were the only people there .Around 15-20 people were there and everyone were sited in circle and in the middle there was a fire champ keeping them warm .
There were light conversations going on and Evelyn was only interested in the yummy food .She know the thing she will surely miss about this place is the organic and healthy food .
After some time Evelyn got bored sitting and decided to take a walk on the sea shore .The moon was so serene that she could not help but take few pictures then she noticed the tides were too high and making a lot of sound.
Evelyn felt thirsty and looked around but could not find water nearby . She saw one of the staff carrying few bottles on a tray and ran towards him.
“Give me one ,”Evelyn quickly took the green translucent bottle and started drinking.
“Ma’am , what are you doing ,”the staff ‘s eyes widened.
Evelyn felt the water tasted somewhat different but still did not stop drinking as she was too thirsty.
The staff was about to say something but someone called his name . He looked at Evelyn for a second then shrugged and went away thinking maybe she was aware of what she drank.
“Why does it tastes bitter , is it some flavored water ,”Evelyn murmured.
What Evelyn drank was not simple water but a kind of alcohol prepared by the localities. In this village there was no supply of liquor from outside nor did they have money to buy some expensive bottles .So from whatever materials available here they prepared alcohol and now the staff was carrying those bottles to the men sitting around the fire camp.
Unfortunately Evelyn drank it without knowing , after few seconds she felt as if everything around her was spinning.
“What’s happening ,”Evelyn held her head and sat on the sand.
Then she felt little better but she was not aware that the alcohol had slowly started to take its effect .She started to run everything ,screaming loudly and blabbering some nonsense. When she saw a tree , she ran to hug it tightly.
“Why are you not moving .Be good and come with me ,”Evelyn tried very hard to lift the tree but when she was unsuccessful she angrily kicked the tree and started cursing.
As she walked towards the sea , she removed her heels and slowly went to dip her leg into the water but she felt cold and immediately pulled back.
“Oh no , it’s so cold ,”Evelyn shivered and wore back her heels.
She noticed a small boat standing at the shore and her eyes widened in excitement.
“Hey … there is a boat , such a big boat ,”Evelyn happily clapped her hands as if she has found a treasure.
