The Callous CEO

The following morning, Ethan arrived at the house feeling joyful. He had helped a woman who, in return, gave him five hundred dollars. Excitedly, he headed straight to the jewelry shop and purchased a beautiful necklace for his beloved wife. "Sweetheart, guess what? I bought you a stunning necklace! Come and have a look," he exclaimed, his excitement resembling that of a child given his favorite lollipop. "What... is... this?" he stammered, startled by what he saw. The necklace slipped from his hands as shock consumed him. How could she betray him after everything he had done for her? Ethan looked at her, waiting for an explanation, bewildered to find her sitting on another man's lap. This was something he believed should only belong to him. Their constant arguments made him feel like he was merely filling a void in the family, and now he felt a deep sense of disappointment. He had expected to see shock on her face, but instead, she wore a smirk. It seemed he was nothing more than

Ethan didn't pay much attention to the car beside him and continued to sit there, lost in his own thoughts. He didn't care about who it was, as he already had enough on his mind and didn't want to think about trivial things. Suddenly, the car's driver stepped out and opened the door for a stunningly beautiful lady who emerged from it. Ethan was slightly mesmerized by her beauty and quickly looked away, not wanting to stare. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that she was approaching him directly, and she stopped right in front of him. Confused, Ethan looked up, thinking she needed directions or had mistaken him for someone else. Perhaps the person she was looking for was behind him. But her gaze was fixed on him, and it left him surprised. "Good day, Mr. Ethan. Please get in the car, and let's go," she said with respect in her voice. Ethan felt his ears deceive him and looked at her with widened eyes, unable to comprehend what was happening. "Mr. Ethan?" she called out again.

After some deliberation, Ethan was informed that they needed to take him somewhere else. Still reeling from the shocking revelations of the day, he couldn't believe that he had suddenly become the heir to such a successful empire. It was a position that would surprise anyone in his shoes. Part of him expected this all to be over soon, as if it were some kind of temporary illusion. As the car pulled away from the mansion, he anticipated returning to see everything he had been shown earlier. Through the car window, he observed the cityscape changing. They were driving into the part of the city where the wealthiest people resided. He had never had the chance to be in this area when he was surrounded by those greedy individuals from his past. But now, here he was. "We have arrived, young master," Kate announced, breaking Ethan's thoughts. He looked back at her, realizing they had reached their destination. But wait, wasn't this the most renowned plaza in the entire country? It was said

“Miss Kate I think it's time to have our meeting then,"one of the board of directors said with a smile as he led the way.“Sure, just give me a minute," she said and walked over to where Ethan stood.They directors looked at each other and decided to leave them.“Young master are you okay," she asked as she saw that he was not having a happy face.“I’m good, it’s just that I’m still a little bit overwhelmed,"she said.Kate walked to him and smiled at him. She could understand how he was feeling.In less than a day his life has suddenly taken a drastic change making him shocked.She was still be surprised if he was to be calm about everything that happened.“You don’t need to worry about that anymore. Let’s just go and meet them first." she assured and waited for him to lead the way.Ethan sighed and decided to just get on with it.As they entered the forum room on the top floor, Kate spoke up.“Well gentleman, I schedule a meeting with all of you today to talk about something very

“You… Who are you ?” Flora’s question make him looked at her with a raised eyebrow.His intimidating look was gone, it looked more like an illusion.“Are you okay? “Ethan asked as he held her hands feeling that it has become a bit cold.Flora only came back to her senses after she felt his hands on her. She quickly adjusted her mood and smiled again.But within she was arguing with herself on whether what she just saw a few minutes ago was an illusion or not.“I’m so sorry, I just got frightened," she said and was about to knock on the door again but stopped herself.Ethan saw how she was hesitating and decided to speak up.“You don’t have to worry about anything else. I can take it from here," he said with a calm smile.“But I’m supposed to…” she wanted to argue but was stopped by Ethan shaking his head.“I’m fine on my own. By the way, thank you for today," I will treat you to lunch one day “ he said with a friendly smile.Flora looked at him and blushed. Who wouldn’t be frightene
