MrsCrossfire Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm not sure where I read but someone said they had suspicions of megumi and wondered why she said gideon was a head trip after he put the ring back on In the elevator the day eva megumi and will had lunch.! But I was reading (AGAIN) and megumi didn't say that, she asked Eva was everything alright and Eva said "I don't know, that man is a f##king head trip, megumi then said keep me updated and Eva said I should just write a book..! I'm not suspicious of megumi now that I re-read that part.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suspicious of megumi now that I re-read that part.!  We're all so wrapped up in the complexities of many of the characters that we've got ourselves thinking "there's got to be more to it" about every character. Because Sylvia did an amazing job of introducing many characters as if they were just minor ones -- and it turned out they were very important, very complex people. Angus is perhaps the best example. When he first cropped up, he was nothing more than the driver -- not even named, hardly mentioned several times. We came to find out bit by bit that Angus was perhaps the only good father figure Gideon ever had.  So now we're all wondering about every character who starts off casually coming up again and again. Like Megumi. Is she really just a background character -- what you see is what you get? Or is she someone really important to the story? Agh!!!!  We've still got at least two and probably three more Crossfire novels to find out what the deal is, or isn't, with people Eva interacts with every day - from Megumi the receptionist to Paul the doorman at Eva's apartment building.  So much fun .......

CAROLINE628 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think that once Arnoldo sees that Gideon forgave Eva, and that Gideon is so happy with Eva -- the way Gideon started out that night of the concert, then Arnoldo will forgive her too. Arnoldo thought Eva was great right on up to the moment she did something really stupid that hurt Gideon really badly. Arnoldo saw with his own eyes Eva could complete Gideon or destroy him.  And unfortunately, right now (i.e. where Reflected left off) Arnoldo is probably still furious at Eva and saying "good riddance to bad trash." Last he saw of Eva, he was getting out of the limo and was thinking at the time Angus was driving Eva straight home. Arnoldo chewed Eva out and then watched the limo drive away.  Fast forward to the very next time Arnoldo saw Gideon -- Monday, when Gideon arrived at Arnoldo's restaurant on a "date" with Corrine. And knowing Gideon well, Arnoldo would have been able to read Gideon's body language enough to something was really eating Gideon badly. (Of course, Arnoldo wouldn't have known a thing about the truth -- Nathan had Gideon now terrified.)  P.S. I think Magdalene and Arnoldo actually could end up as a couple. They're both single. They both have a very good, very old mutual friend - Gideon. Agreed! Arnoldo wants his friend Gideon to be happy and yes once he sees Gideon happy with Eva again, he will forgive Eva. I can totally see Magdalene and Arnoldo being a couple set up by Gideon : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think characters like Will and Megumi are just background characters who are just there in the storyline for Eva to have as friends in the office and to interact with but not get involved fully in the story as main characters. We never do a get a name for the red headed receptionist so she's likely to pop up occasionally as the receptionist who gives eva the sour puss because Eva snagged Gideon. We know Gideon's secretary's name is Scott but not hers lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanmarie Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I can't wait for chapter 1, I can't wait to see if he made her leave and what he said.. it proubly wasn't much because in the next snippet or 2 he sneaks into her apartment to see her he couldn't wait to see If she still wanted him.. I have a feeling chapter one will end with him saying he did it and that's it until June 4th.. what does everyone think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LN Cronan Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 ok. I'll run with this. Could Paul be part of Gideons security team. There! Another name for the mix? Lol  Gideon owns the apartment building Eva (and Cary) live in, so Paul works for Cross Industries. And one of the most important things a doorman does is to provide security -- in the form of a set of human eyes -- at the entrance of a residential building. The whole reason Eva is living in a building like that is to appease her mother that it's "safe".  So let me run with this here .... Cross Industries has a history of human resources excellence. They hire skilled people and pay them well. Paul probably has some sort of solid work history in the security industry and/or had served in the military. It's why he got  a secure, well-paying job with Cross Industries.  Then Eva enters Gideon's life, and within days, Gideon found out she lives in one of his properties. I can see Paul the doorman being given a big raise and some serious behind-the-scenes special new responsibility -- make absolutely certain to keep a good eye on who comes and goes from that building. Keep an especially good eye on Eva.  How much you wanna bet that as soon as Gideon found out Nathan was in town, Paul the doorman got a special briefing, including pictures of Nathan, and got ordered to keep a very close lookout on the sidewalks and the street near the apartment building entrance.  Plus, although I can't find the exact page now, I remember some mention about Angus and Paul being familiar with one another. Eva noticed it in passing once. My guess -- as soon as Gideon made Paul part of the circle of people keeping an eye on Eva, it was Angus who supervised Paul.  OK, now I've really gone deep here. Maybe Paul is just Paul -- like the saying "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon had his security team on Eva 24/7 I reckon, from virtually day 1. Yes we could be embellishing this a bit to much, but I like the options we bring to the table.

Repeatedly, Eva's been picked up and dropped off by Angus. But first name basis?  Um, hello Eva -- Gideon's having you watched over even more closely than your mother has been. He's just a lot more subtle about it. Paul the doorman probably is reporting directly to Angus now, when normally Paul would be reporting to the building manager. Paul's more than the doorman now -- he's a key person watching over the most important thing in Gideon's entire world.  We know from one of the snippets that Gideon and Eva will have a talk in Entwined about how Gideon tried to balance the need to protect Eva's security with the need for her to have some feeling of independence. Gideon was wise enough to recognize Monica's obsessions and smothering were bad for Eva. But he also for his own sanity needed (still does need to) keep her safe.

Who I am and what I've built makes me a target. You know the score, because you know what it's like to live with wealth and the attention it attracts". Their security has to 24/7, Nathan isn't the only nutter. I'm sure that Gideon, had ruffled a few feathers, while doing business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
