Ethan was eager to embrace his new position as a commanding CEO after spending three years as a live-in son-in-law.Despite his anticipation for the role, Ethan's excitement did not stem from his upcoming identity as the CEO. Having risen from humble beginnings, Ethan had grown weary of the false sense of superiority that often accompanied being perceived as better than others.Ethan's excitement stemmed from Clara, the enchanting Deputy President of the Walt Disney organization. Known for her ability to captivate the elite men of Los Angeles's upper-class circles, Clara held a magnetic allure that intrigued Ethan.Making his way to the lobby on the first floor of the building, Ethan encountered a security gantry.Living in the technologically advanced city of Los Angeles, even the gantry on the first floor was equipped with state-of-the-art features such as fingerprint and facial recognition access systems.As it was Ethan's inaugural day at work, he hadn't had the chance to enroll
Clara mingle in the upper class society of Los Angeles and hence, knew all the tycoons. She had a long list of suitors too. However, no one had ever heard of her having a boyfriend. 'Maybe Walport Clara into women!' Ethan thought. "Hey, what are you thinking about!?! Hurry up and answer me. Why are you here at our office!?!" Sarah said in a firm voice. Ethan snapped back to his senses and said, "I'm Ethan Sinclair, the New president of Walt Disney organization." Ashley Sarah's jaw dropped, and her mouth was so wide open that it could fit an egg. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr Sinclair! I'm too stupid. Since you had the key to the door, you must be the president! But, please forgive me, Miss Walport said that there's a suspicious person in the office, so I..." Ethan was surprised after hearing her explanation. 'suspicious person?" "Damn, the Reynolds have been tailing me! Annoying pests who won't leave me alone!" Ethan immediately figure out what was going on. "Oka
Clara had always been the undisputed idol of the female employees at the company. Her legendary status stemmed from her extraordinary ability to make even the most powerful corporate presidents seem insignificant. No matter how rich or influential these men were, they seemed to shrink in her presence.Every woman in the office aspired to emulate Clara’s commanding presence and effortless control over even the most obstinate executives. The fascination was not just about her authority but about how effortlessly she could bend the most powerful figures to her will.There was a particularly notorious president from a billion-dollar partner company who had a reputation for causing chaos and evading any form of restraint. His behavior had left the office staff powerless and frustrated—until Clara intervened. In a stunning display of dominance, Clara had subdued him with such swiftness and precision that within two minutes, he was on his knees, compelled to put her shoes on for her.The ent
Outside the door... Sarah and the other two girls watched in stunned silence.They covered their mouths, unable to believe what they were seeing.“How could this happen?” one whispered in disbelief.“Mr. Sinclair isn’t kneeling before Miss Walport; it’s the other way around!” another gasped.“It didn’t even take a minute! As soon as they met, Miss Walport was on her knees!” a third exclaimed.The trio’s amazement grew as they realized that Ethan Sinclair’s charm and authority were so overpowering that even Clara, who usually held herself in high esteem, was compelled to submit. Hearing the commotion outside the door, Ethan peeked through the gap, causing the startled trio to flee in a panic.Ethan then approached Clara, who remained kneeling, and looked down at her without offering any help. With a slight smile, he said, “Miss Walport, why are you kneeling before me so soon after we’ve met? I can’t accept such a grand gesture from you.”Clara, feeling a mix of embarrassment and fru
Ethan's mind was set on overturning the established hierarchy in Los Angeles. Whether it was the hotel magnate, the restaurant mogul, or the delivery service owner, he planned to dismantle the dominance of these influential figures who had controlled the city for years. Among them, Tony was the first person who came to Ethan’s mind. Tony was a particularly bitter memory for Ethan, as he recalled his ex-wife Maya's taunts. “Look at Tony. His family is worth over a billion dollars. Can you even compare to him, you good-for-nothing?” she had said.Ethan's jaw tightened as he spoke to Clara. “I’ve heard that the West family is one of the top-tier families in Los Angeles, worth over a billion dollars. Is that true?”Clara responded, “You could say that. The West family was worth over a billion dollars two years ago, but their net worth has significantly dropped. They’re now probably worth around 500 million dollars, not much better than the Reynolds.”As Clara recalled Ethan’s claim from
Ethan was bewildered by Tony’s outburst. 'What’s wrong with this idiot? Does Tony West even have a functioning brain?'Ethan thought. 'What kind of nonsense is he spewing now?'Tony, convinced of his own cleverness, assumed he’d pieced everything together. He remembered Sarah and her colleagues talking about someone kneeling, and he surmised that Ethan must have been the one to kneel before Clara. He figured Ethan had begged for Clara’s forgiveness and pleaded to become her bodyguard.Tony smirked and taunted, “Ethan Sinclair, weren’t you so high and mighty at the birthday banquet? Miss Walport offered you a chance to be her bodyguard, and you turned her down. We all thought you were too proud to bow down. But now, here you are, groveling!”Tony laughed mockingly. “Haha, I didn’t expect you to get out of bed early and come here dressed as a bodyguard just to beg Miss Walport to let you be her lackey!”Turning to Clara, he added, “Miss Walport, don’t be fooled. During the banquet yeste
Maya’s frustration boiled over as she considered confronting Ethan and Clara directly. She longed to demand answers from Ethan about why he had kneeled for another woman and not her, and to accuse Clara of stealing what she felt was rightfully hers.Old Ms. Mimi, however, glared at Maya with disapproval and asserted, “Enough of your tantrum. Call Clara Walport. I want to speak with her personally.”Klein immediately complied, pulling out his cell phone and dialing Clara’s number with a swift motion. He handed the phone to Old Ms. Mimi, who took it with a resolute expression, ready to address the situation herself.Despite Old Ms. Mimi’s underlying anger, her voice remained calm and composed, reflecting her years of experience and dignity. She spoke with a measured authority, making her displeasure clear without losing her poise.“Miss Walport, I understand that Ethan has become your bodyguard. Had I known you had taken such an interest in him, I would have gladly offered him to you si
Ethan was wearing an immaculate Dior suit with his hair combed to the side. He was now chatting merrily with Clara.If Ethan weren't her ex-husband, Maya would have mistaken him for the domineering president of a company as she watched him stride over."This jerk dressed himself up so handsome after divorcing me!"Maya felt a pang of jealousy. If she had known that Ethan could look so much like a commanding executive, she would have insisted he wear a suit and tie throughout their marriage.Maya watched from a distance, feeling a pang of envy as she realized how impressive Ethan looked. If only she had been able to show him off at gatherings with her former classmates.Meanwhile, Ethan said to Clara, "Clara, pass me the car keys. I'll drive. Since you're wearing heels, it won't be convenient for you to drive."Clara had a pair of flats in her car that she usually changed into for driving. However, she felt that changing shoes in front of Ethan might seem awkward, so she handed the car
