"Sir, Miss Celeste arrived with her secretary, and they are now in the waiting room."Having just stepped out of the elevator that lurked in his room, Ethan was already greeted by Hazel, who reported something in a hurry, startling him to almost falling over from the sudden stop."Who?""Miss Celeste," Hazel replied, repeating her words.In the next second, Ethan ran to his room and pressed the remote to close the window until it was no longer visible. Hazel came after him with a puzzled look on her face."Now's not a good time for her to see me, let alone find out my identity," Ethan said solemnly. "She came to ask the reason about yesterday, right?""Yes." Hazel nodded. "But I haven't met her because I was waiting for you."Ethan seemed to think for a moment and then looked at Hazel intently. "You'd better go see her. Say sorry and tell them to wait patiently. I hope you understand what I mean.""Yes, I understand. Then I'll leave first, sir," Hazel replied swiftly.After bowing poli

"Hi," Ethan replied kindly.But then his face turned confused. "Excuse me, who are you?"Suddenly, the happy smile that had been wide slowly faded, leaving her annoyed face with faintly dipped eyebrows. "You don't remember?""Have we met before?" Instead of answering, Ethan asked back with growing confusion.The woman with shoulder-length hair snorted in annoyance while averting her eyes for a moment. Afterwards, she said with emphasis. "I'm Aurora, the only daughter of the Marlowe family and a good friend of Ariana, your wife.""Oops, sorry, you guys are divorced, I should have called her your ex-wife. You don't mind, right, Ethan?" In an instant, her pretty face turned cynical with a smile full of mockery.But Ethan didn't change at all. He remained calm and said, "It's you. Sorry for not recognising you for a while.""No problem. It's normal for someone who's never been around the outside world like you not to recognise important people," Aurora said, smiling so sweetly that her eye

As soon as the question was asked, Ethan, who had been serious, immediately fell silent with a faint frown. He thought for a long time until, finally, he shook his head softly. "Let it go first. There's no need to care too much about it. But don't let your guard down, though. Let's just say she's not so dangerous that it doesn't require any quick action.""But, Ben...." Ethan hung his words. He slowly moved forward with his arms crossed on the table, staring intently at Benedict, who was now staring at him tensely. "You are now my assistant, which means my person. From the moment you introduced yourself to me, you have no connection with Grand Master Grant or his family, Madam Celeste. You are starting a new life with a new name and boss. Everything from the past is gone, like a dream."Benedict swallowed hard. The aura his Master gave off was piercing, making him feel intimidated."Before taking care of what I said, there is one thing you must do first. That is the signing of the con

"Sir, this is the new manager I told you about yesterday." Benedict introduced a young man who looked boyish. His hair was neatly styled with a slight tuft at the front.Ethan's gaze went straight to him. However, all his expectations of a manager who was older or at least like Benedict were instantly shattered.He glanced at Benedict with a doubtful look.Realizing that the Velvet Vault's new manager immediately bowed. "Hello, Mr. Ethan. My name is Bevanka Joshua. Mr. Benedict has my complete data. I will do all the tasks you give me well."Even his voice sounded crisp, typical of a teenager.Ethan hesitated even more."Sir, this is Joshua's file," Benedict said, handing Ethan a thick folder.The man wearing a white shirt today immediately took it and read it carefully. However, some of the words there managed to shock him into wide-eyed surprise. He stared at Joshua intently, not hiding his surprise at all. "This is your real data?""Yes, Mr. Ethan," Joshua replied quickly."How long

"What is the meaning of this?""Why are we suddenly fired?""Is it possible that what he's talking about is true? He's the new manager here.""We're dead if it's true.""Huss! No way. This is Mrs. Bernita's territory, how could it suddenly change hands? It's just foreigners playing tricks on us.""Yes, that's right. We must not be swayed. This is just a meaningless bluff."Instantly, the employees were abuzz with panic. But they still tried to deny and disbelieve what had happened. Nothing could shake their faith in Madame Bernita.Overestimating someone to the point of forgetting themselves made them even more unable to guard their actions and words. They forgot that trusting someone too much would only cause deep wounds."Madam, this... what happened? Why is there a dismissal letter all of a sudden?" Manager Esme looked at Mrs. Bernita with reddened eyes. Her voice became shaky. "What should we do, madam? I don't want to be fired. Please... this is my only job.""Shut up! Can't you
