Ethan looked at Sophia, her peaceful face resembling a sleeping beauty. He carefully took his phone out and gently positioned it to capture a photo of them together, a small moment frozen in time."I'll be here till you wake up, babe," he whispered softly, as if his words could reach her even in her unconscious state. He pulled up a chair and settled down beside the bed, wanting to stay close and be there when she opened her eyes.As he sat down, Ethan remembered that he needed to address some important matters. He dialed Victoria's number. The phone rang, and as he waited for a response, he wondered if she might be asleep, considering the late hour. There was no response after several ringing. Just when he was about to put the phone back in his pocket, it started ringing, indicating an incoming call from Victoria. He quickly answered it. "Good evening, master. Sorry for not answering your call, I was..." Victoria began explaining, but Ethan cut her off gently, wanting to get straig

Ethan arrived at Sophia's place and gently knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing Sophia, who was wearing a pink shirt and underwear, with a top covering up. She looked very attractive."Wow!" Ethan was taken aback by her appearance. Sophia's eyes met his, and she seemed panicked, quickly shutting the door.Ethan felt unsure if she wanted to see him. After a few minutes, the door opened again, and this time, Sophia was fully covered, keeping some distance as she looked at Ethan.Ethan offered a light smile and greeted her, "Good morning, So... Morning, Sophia." He handed her a small gift bag."Inside the bag is your new phone, and the files have already been copied to it. I made sure to get the exact model for you," he explained.Sophia didn't say much, she simply accepted the gift. "Thank you. How much did it cost?" she inquiredEthan shook his head, "You don't need to worry about the cost. It's a gift from me to you."Sophia expressed her gratitude and started to turn to go

"My sister?" Ethan himself was stunned hearing the lady address herself as his brother. The man looked at the lady and asked, "He's your brother?"The lady nodded gently and replied, "Yes, he is."The man's expression soured as he retorted, "Does your brother not have eyes? Can't he see what he did?"Arching her hand in a conciliatory gesture, the lady offered, "He's sorry, sir. He actually has an eyesight problem, so he didn't see you."Eyesight problem?"A faint frown played on his lips as he processed the lady's words, his mind racing to comprehend what she meant by "eyesight problem." Before he could voice his thoughts, the lady interjected, her tone gentle yet authoritative, "Brother, please be quiet so I can solve the problem."Stunned, Ethan sighed and stopped talking. Turning her attention back to the man, the lady pleaded, "Forgive him, sir."The man looked at the lady and then shifted his gaze back to Ethan, "You are very lucky," he said, his tone less harsh now, "I'll f

Overwhelmed by the revelation, Dera acted almost like a madwoman. She reached out and grasped Ethan's hand, her disbelief evident. She looked at Victoria and managed to ask, "Do you mind if I see your ID?" Her reasoning was clear; a big and famous company like Aureus would certainly issue identification cards with positions clearly marked.Victoria retrieved her ID, displaying her full name and position, verifying her identity as the real manager. Dera's shock deepened as the evidence presented itself.Unable to contain her emotions, Dera lowered her head, her forehead touching Ethan's hand in a gesture of remorse. "You are my role model, sir. Forgive me for my rudeness earlier. I doubted you without knowing who you are. Forgive me, sir. How could anyone believe that the richest man in Ashville is in a coffee shop like this?"Ethan was taken aback by her reaction, a mix of surprise and appreciation in his expression. Clearing his throat, he gently chided, "Behave properly, I'm not

Later that evening, Ethan dressed in a casually stylish manner, wearing a fitted black shirt paired with well-fitted jeans. He sported a wristwatch that added a touch of sophistication, and a simple necklace graced his neck, subtly enhancing his handsome appearance.As he approached his car, the gate guard couldn't help but express his admiration. "Boss, you're looking so handsome."Ethan responded with a smile, grateful for the compliment. "Thank you. I'm heading out, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. You can sleep when it's late and I'm not back."The guard nodded understandingly. "Okay, boss. Please take care."Ethan got into his car, and the guard opened the gate for him to exit. He drove smoothly and soon arrived at Sophia's place. Giving a couple of honks, he waited. Soon Sophia emerged from the door. Wow!" Ethan in the car was stunned in awe of her beauty. She looked stunningly gorgeous and irresistibly sexy, leaving him amazed and captivated.She was dressed in a knee-len
