"Wait, a cleaner?" Camilla exclaimed, feigning shock though secretly relishing the idea. She found herself oddly delighted by the notion of him joining the company in such a humble position.Ethan's lips curled into a manipulative sneer as he gazed at Camilla, his eyes gleaming with hidden agendas. "Surprised, are you? Shouldn't I be the CEO?" he taunted, his tone dripping with arrogance.Camilla scoffed at the suggestion. "CEO? Not a chance. Cleaning suits you perfectly. Besides, my father is set to take over as CEO soon, and I'll make sure to lend you a hand wherever you need it," she assured him, closing the distance between them.As she reached out to adjust his collar, a surge of electricity seemed to pass between them, leaving Ethan momentarily breathless in her presence."I'm sure you'll reach out to me, won't you?" Camilla forced a smile, though her scepticism was evident."I promise, Camilla. But remember, the offer goes both ways. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to as
“What do you wish to do now, sir?" James inquired as he stared at Ethan, who was grinning right before him. “Nothing for now. Just show…” Ethan was going to say, but the second he turned to his left, the sight he saw immediately infuriated him, and he instantly tightened his fist. His eyes had caught sight of Mr. Han, Camilla's father, in the company, and just then, the words his girlfriend or Camilla said to him before he walked into the company rang in his mind. He also recalled the past and how he was treated by Mr. Han. “Sir?” James called out, seeing that he had been quiet for so long that he needed to get words out of his mouth, and watching him just stare at someone he barely knew made James curious. “James?” Ethan called out, making James respond immediately as he bowed his head to Ethan without delay. “Send Mr. Han to my office, and I mean now!” Ethan commanded with a smirk curling up on his lips before he looked away from where Mr. Han was standing. He swiftly wal
The second Ethan walked into the panel hall just to get the discussion with the executives started, a familiar voice boomed through the expanse of the room, drawing his attention immediately. “Who let this poor dude in here?” The second he turned in the direction the voice was coming from, he found Nathan standing to his feet in rage. He was furious to see him in the hall. Nathan was one of his bullies in school, and it made Ethan furious to see him as one of the executives he was working with. “I guess I'm making more than just one person pay for their crimes today!” He smirked at Nathan, who had left his seat and had begun to trudge closer to where he was standing with James. “Ethan, he's from school, remember... He can do something crazy!” James emitted, calling Ethan by his name, knowing what had been happening back then in school. “I don't care... Let him come to me!” Ethan spoke softly, a smile still on his lips. He just couldn't wait to hear what Nathan had to say to him.
Getting respected and no longer bullied, mocked, or looked down upon was one thing that Ethan had always desired. Seeing how they all had their heads bowed to him the second he stood up from his chair, Ethan couldn't help but sneer at their behaviour. If there was anything he loved so much, it was when people were scared of him, and that was what was happening. With a smirk curling up in his lips, he turned around and left the hall, heading for the exit of the company. “Sir?” James called swiftly, halting Ethan right in his tracks. “What again, James?” Ethan asked the second he stopped in his tracks. “Nathan might come back for you... We both know him. What should we do?” James was questioned. “Ignore him; he can't do anything that'll endanger the company… That I am pretty sure about! And you can let him go now,” Ethan stated before continuing his path towards the exit of the company. The second he left, he was going to think about how he would leave the company and head back h
Just as Ethan and his mother kept celebrating and jubilating, knowing that Ethan had gotten a comfortable and promising job, a knock came at the door, making Ethan and his mother pause immediately. Ethan turned to the door briefly before he turned to look at his mother, who was more shocked and confused than he was. “Are you expecting anyone, mother?” Ethan questioned, his gaze fixed intently on his mother. “What? No! You are pretty aware that I barely have any friends because of our situation. I am not expecting anyone. Maybe it's your friends from work,” she uttered, making Ethan scoff instantly. “There's no such thing, Mother…” Ethan let out before he let go of his mother and walked over to the door. Without a second thought, he opened the door. He was expecting to see a mailman or someone different since they weren't expecting anyone, but to his shock, it was a different person who was standing before his door. ‘What is he doing here?’ Ethan questioned, tightening his fist o
“Two days to beg him? Who the hell does he think he is? What does he take me for? A fool?” Mr. Han's fist clenched as he struck his hand on the couch where he was sitting. He just couldn't help but keep thinking about what had happened at work that day between him and Ethan. Ethan was nothing more than a trash boy, and that was what he was going to remain as. He still doesn't believe that Ethan was his new boss and that his application didn't pass the review. “No! There's definitely no way he is the boss. He and James are just acting up!” He concluded, his teeth clenching tightly. He believes that they were both playing a trick on him. “He can never be above me! I won't let that happen! Never!” He declared this before he stood up from the couch where he was sitting. He began to walk around the area, his hands running through his hair as he looked a bit troubled. He doesn't, and he won't believe it. Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a knock came at the door where he was, but h
“It's over between you and I, Ethan!” Camilla's voice boomed through the silence that covered everywhere, and just then, a sly smirk curled up on Ethan's lips. The second he let go of his cheek where Camilla had slapped him, his hand tightened around his mother, and with a frown, he responded to her. “A breakup? That's the best move right now, Camilla!” He stated this with so much joy coursing through his veins. “What?” Camilla stuttered, her eyes widening in shock, as she just couldn't believe what she had heard from him. “You are joking, right? You don't mean you are accepting it. You need me!” She uttered it, trying to make Ethan believe that she was his only saviour. She still hasn't seen the clear picture yet, and she still hasn't understood that Ethan was no longer on her level anymore. As Ethan stared at her, he couldn't help but recall his past life and how she kissed and romanced Gideon. ‘If only I could kill you right now, I would definitely do it! You don't deserve to
“I am the CEO of the Newhope robotics company, mother... I don't need someone like Camilla or her father! Isn't that clear?” Ethan explained briefly, his eyes squinting and his fist clenching tightly as he stated. If he could find Camilla's father before him, he would hit him on the face without thinking twice. “But...” his mother was going to say, but immediately, Ethan cut in. “I promised to protect you, didn't I? You are safe with me, mother, and I won't let you suffer anymore! We are fine by ourselves!” Ethan concluded before embracing his mother, who was sitting down pretty close to him. He didn't need to utter any more words as they drove to their new apartment. It was a long ride, but finally, they arrived before the mansion, his mother's eyes gleaming with shock as she stared at the building through the window. It was a massive building that glittered with shiny designs on the walls. “What in the world?” Her eyes widened as she climbed out of the car. She kept looking ar
