2025-03-02 17:22:19As Ethan stepped out of the hotel, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He hissed, hoping it wasn't Dana who chose to call him back.
"Lilian," he muttered, seeing that it wasn't Dana who was calling but rather the CEO of the secret company.
"Hello, Young Master Ethan," she said.
"Lilian. I'm not yet pleased with the rough sketch you sent me via email," Ethan complained.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'll send it to you again," she informed.
"I'm sure that's not why you called," he said, knowing that each time Lilian calls him, she comes bearing important news.
"Sir, the commercial dinner party is tomorrow, and I sent you an email of the list of companies that we would make our business partner. The manager sent the compiled list late, that is why you received it yesterday." She paused to catch her breath.
"I'm waiting for you to confirm the company names so that we can finalize everything before tomorrow, sir."
Everyone that knows who Lilian is would be stunned to know that she's speaking to Ethan directly. No matter the position a person is in in the country, before one can communicate with her, they have to pass through her assistant.
"Sir... Please, are you with me?" She asked, seeing that Ethan hadn't said anything yet.
"Lilian, I need you to make some adjustments on the names on the list." Initially, he had planned on making sure that Dana's company became one of Secret Company's biggest business partners, making sure that the company became one of the best, but unfortunately, Roseanne would have to take that spot.
"What adjustment, sir?" Lilian asked.
"Dana's name is on the list of business partners, is that right?" He asked just to confirm that it was included.
"Yes, sir,"
"I need you to replace that name. Walmart's company should take that spot," he informed. Lilian didn't bother to ask why. She immediately did as he said.
"Done. Is there anything else you would want me to do, sir?" She inquired.
"Yes, Lillian. I'm heading to my mini penthouse at Road 4. I need you to arrange a car and a tuxedo, one made of the finest fabric in the country. I'll be attending the commercial dinner party tomorrow." He informed.
"Oh my God. Finally, thank goodness that you'll be coming. I'll do all that you have said. But why go to your mini penthouse on Road 4 when you can go to your mansion at the heart of the city?" she inquired.
"I have my reasons, Lilian," he responded, nonchalantly.
"Okay, sir. Would you want me to personally receive you and also announce your identity to the public?" She asked.
"There's no need for you to receive me tomorrow, Lilian." He informed,
"Okay, sir," she responded before he ended the call.
Ethan inhaled deeply before walking towards Road 4. He had no penny with him to hail for a taxi, so he had to go on foot.
He would have asked Lilian to send me a ride, but his identity was still a secret, and if Lilian had sent him a ride, it would have caused awareness, as she would send one of his expensive cars with SUVs to accompany it.
The next day.
"Is everything in hand?" He asked Lilian over the car as he stepped into the Bentley that she sent to bring him to the dinner party.
"Yes," she responded.
"Alright then," Ethan ended the call, adjusted his tie, and cleared his throat.
On getting to the party, he stepped down from the car and brought his hand up to the line of his sight to check what the time was.
As he walked towards the entrance of the venue, he heard someone call his name from behind.
"Ethan Ford," Ethan turned to look behind him only for his eyes to fall on Roseanne.
She hastened her pace until she was standing right in front of him. "You look stunning," Ethan complimented.
"You must really like red," he added. Just like yesterday, she was in a red gown, but the shade of the red gown she saw today was brighter, and beautiful crystal stones were embedded on the corset of the dress.
"It's my signature color," she laughed.
"Thank you for the compliment, though. I got an invite at the last minute, and I know it was because of your help." She grinned.
As they spoke, a car drove into parking lot D, the one next to them.
Eric got down from the car and walked over to the other side to hold the door out for Dana.
The second she stepped down from the car, her eyes fell on Roseanne and Ethan, standing together.
"What are those two fools doing here?" Dana gritted her teeth in anger as she turned to face Eric.
"Who?" Eric asked before trailing Dana's gaze, only for his eyes to fall on Ethan and Roseanne.
"I don't know. The company didn't send an invite to Roseanne. I made sure of that, and as for your ex-husband, I'm sure he's only here to humiliate himself," Eric said.
Dana scoffed, "Could he really be that desperate to leech off a woman? I mean, other men go out to work, but rather, he'd rely on a woman." She scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"Take a look at Roseanna, a loser with no invite." She grinned, walking towards them with a mischievous plan in mind.
Ethan and Roseanne noticed them the second they were just three steps away.
"Well, well, well. Look who we have here!" Dana paused, deciding to start with Roseanne.
"I thought you came to my house yesterday? Begging me to come to dinner," Dana said, making sure she stretched the word "begging."
Roseanne rolled her eyes; she knew that Dana was exaggerating with her words, and at the same time, she had no plans to respond to her.
"Look at me, Roseanne. Aren't you shameless? I mean, you knew that you couldn't keep up the hate between us, and when you came yesterday, I thought you were genuine, but sadly, you don't actually know what you want.”

"What do you think you're coming here to do? Stand with the guards outside because I'm certain that you do not have an invite," she said sternly.Roseanne laughed. "You know, I'm not surprised that you stooped so low to walk up to me and blab! I didn't beg you for dinner; I offered a peace treaty, which you obviously wanted. I'm surprised that you're suddenly two-faced.""You're the two-faced bitch here! You left with Ethan yesterday, a man that I no longer want. I mean, you can have him, but I'm just ashamed on your behalf. I wouldn't think that Almighty Roseanne would be seen speaking with a nobody." She spat, causing Roseanne to chuckle softly.She was unmoved by everything Dana said because she knew Ethan's true identity."If anyone should be ashamed, then it should be you. It was only yesterday, Dana, and now you're with another man? How cheap can you be?" Roseanna asked, choosing to turn the tables, using Dana's words on her."You call me cheap? And yet you're the one who came t

"Take a look at the badge again; this is a giant dragon and not a bear!" Eric said, causing the security guard to take the invite again, taking one last look."You're right," he said in a rage.This mistake could make him lose his job; thinking of the possibility of that, he was immediately enraged."You came here, thinking that you could deceive your way in?" he asked."I'm not surprised that you could stoop so low, Ethan. You must have planned this with Roseanne, but do you actually know what's funny?" She paused, turning to Eric before shifting her gaze back to them."It's funny how it almost worked if not for Eric," she added."You should be grateful for the kind of senior manager that you have because trust me, if any other official had found out, you would have lost your job," Dana said."You're dressed in a fine suit, but your attitude downgrades your personality." The security guard commented, feeling disgusted."Anyway. I didn't forget our bet. I'm looking forward to seeing t

Roseanne couldn't stop grinning as Dana took some steps away from the entrance."Dana," Roseanne called, "Don't forget to kneel," she reminded before walking into the hall with Ethan, causing Dana to boil."Eric!!!! What kind of humiliation is this?" She asked, furiously."Calm down, Dana; I'm trying to sort things out," he informed."Why is it taking time for you to sort things out? Can you do it immediately!" She said.Seeing that speaking with the security captain was useless, Eric took his phone out of his pocket and dialed his boss number."Who are you calling?" Dana was being impatient."My boss. He can sort the matter," he responded."Hello, Mr. Will Port," Eric said as soon as the man answered the call.Will Port owns 5% of Secret Company's shares, and Eric has been bribing him for the longest time now."I need your help. I'm at the commercial dinner party, and I'm outside the entrance. The guards wouldn't let me in," Eric explained."And why is that?" Will Port asked."Well,

"Wow, I can't wait to finally see the owner of this great company," Dana said, sounding so excited. Every single person was."When he comes, I really hope to meet him," she said, smiling sheepishly."That's not a problem at all. Once he's here, I can take you to him!" Eric informed, causing the smile on Dana's face to broaden. She was excited and already planned a party in her head to celebrate when she gets home as one of Secret Company's business partners."Then, I'm sure we can ask him to investigate the badge that Ethan has." She said, making sure that Roseanne could hear her."When he finally finds out that the badge was stolen or fake, I'm certain that they'll be in great trouble." She added, smiling mischievously."Decorum." The host said, causing the room to turn quiet."Here are the names of companies that Secret Company would be cooperating with." She paused, holding out the paper for better reading access."Dominick Company. Fins Line Company. Double Tech company. D&D..." A

"Decorum." The host said, trying to get their attention."Nothing had changed in the list, and it was not modified. What I read to you all was exactly what was given to me," she said sternly. "But Dana's name was originally determined by the company to be on that list, right?" Will asked."Mr. Will Port. This list is the company's final decision," she said sternly. Expecting him to walk back to his seat, but unfortunately, the man was stubborn."I heard that someone tried stopping Dana and the senior manager of this company from entering this dinner hall." He paused, turning to the people sitting in the crowd."The man was with a supreme badge," he added.Eric had initially pointed Ethan to Will while they both walked up to the stage, so right now, Will tried searching for the person that Eric had shown him."I'm certain that after he saw Dana was back at the dinner party, he must have turned angry and used his supreme badge to deceive you, right?

Dana stood, furious to hear Ethan speak, but she controlled her temper because she didn't want to cause another scene."Sit down, Dana. Until we can fully comprehend the situation, I will not advise you to do anything that'll cause a scene again. The CEO is present here," Eric said.Just like Will, who was frightened by Lillian's presence, Eric couldn't bring himself to speak again."But you know this is blasphemy. There's no way Ethan could possibly know the CEO of this great institution." She said, swallowing hard.Eric didn't respond to her; rather, he watched as Ethan made his way to where Lilian stood."Thank you for having me." He paused, smiling, and Lilian smiled back at him.The ladies and gentlemen from the prestigious home watched in shock because Lilian has always been rigid.She barely smiled at people, and some even say that she doesn't have a good sense of humor, and seeing that she just smiled even as Ethan walked towards her was alarming."Why did the boss not come hi

"What's going on here?" Lilian rushed over with some security guards to where Ethan stood, trying to reach his car.The security guards quickly intervened, stopping the paparazzi from crowding Ethan and Lilian. They escorted Ethan to his car, with Roseanne following closely, as she too sought to escape the unwanted attention.As Ethan got into the car, he looked out of the window, and his eyes fell on Dana, who was speaking to the paparazzi.He scoffed, wondering what she was possibly saying to them."I'm really sorry sir. I should have escorted you out of the hall," Lilian said as the driver hit the road."You've been apologizing for every single thing since yesterday."Roseanne who sat next to Ethan swallowed hard. She knew that Ethan held great power in the company but she didn't think that the kind of power he has was greater than that of the CEO."I'm sorry...." She paused, realizing that Ethan was probably tired of hearing her say the word "sorry.""Er... Do you want the driver

The security guard said, causing Roseanne to stand, shocked at the way the security guard spoke to Harry.It almost seemed as if they were scared of him."Handle this? How did he even get in here?
