“Leona ?” Jennie called her again making sure this time she would hear her loud and clearly.Leona looked at her calmly and asked ,“What? I heard you the first time you called me”Jennie, with a jesting expression, couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. "Leona, why did you pretend not to know that Master Ethan was here? I saw you looking out the window as soon as his car arrived.” she said and paused.“It seems you knew his car had arrived. Do you by any chance have this connection between you two? Now you're acting like you don't care."Leona, trying to maintain her composure, calmly walked towards the sofa and picked up the script that had been sent to her by Manager Pan. She pretended indifference as she started going through it. "Jennie, I genuinely didn't see him. I was just lost in my own thoughts."Jennie crossed her arms on her chest with a questionable look and asked ,“And you expect me to believe that. You stood up to look outside and you are telling me you were los
A few hours later, Ethan was sitting in his office, waiting for the representatives from the new cooperation to arrive. He was feeling confident that he could convince them to stay in the deal, but he knew that it wouldn't be easy.The door to his office opened and the representatives entered. They were a group of three men, all dressed in expensive suits. They looked Ethan up and down, their expressions unreadable."Mr. Willow," the lead representative said. "We're glad you could meet with us.""Of course," Ethan said. "I'm always happy to discuss business."The representatives sat down and Ethan began to explain the terms of the deal. He went over the benefits that the cooperation would receive, and he emphasized the importance of their partnership.“All that I can tell you is you won't be disappointed with collaborating with the Willow branch in Houston”The representatives listened attentively, but they didn't say anything. When Ethan was finished, they looked at each other fo
Tim was called into his father's study. He knew this was not going to be good. Tim sat nervously in his father's study, the weight of the recent events heavy on his shoulders. His father, Paul walked in, his face flushed with anger. He closed the door behind him, leaving them alone in the dimly lit room.Paul asked angrily trying to keep his in check ,"What were you thinking, Tim? Going back to that girl, Daphne? Have you lost your mind?"He knew his father would be furious when he found out that Tim had gone back to Daphne.“I.. I didn't do anything of a sort father” he said trying not to make eye contact. "What the hell were you thinking, Tim?" Paul stood up and roared as soon as Tim said those words. "I told you to stay away from that woman, but you just couldn't listen, could you?""Dad, I'm not serious about Daphne anymore," Tim said. "I just wanted to have some fun.""Fun?" his father exploded. "You think this is a joke? You've ruined everything! Because of your actions, o
As soon as Tim left his father's study, the white-haired man emerged from his hidden spot, silently observing Paul with a sinister grin on his face. Paul, now trembling with fear, turned to face the imposing figure."Where are you from ? What do you..want?" Paul managed to stammer, his voice shaky with anxiety.The white-haired man took a few steps forward, his eyes locked on Paul. "You must be surprised to see me," he said, his voice cold and calculating. "I've heard quite a bit about you and your sons successful beautiful ‘sucess’ this time ."Paul gulped nervously, realizing that this man was not someone to be trifled with. "What do you want with me dead sir. I'm sorry for how I asked you for your presence just now. I was just taken aback" he asked, trying to maintain some semblance of composure."I want to discuss your lovely son, Tim," the white-haired man replied with a mocking smile. "He seems to be quite the character, doesn't he? Getting into all sorts of trouble and messin
Seline hung up the phone, her mind racing. She knew that Paul was worried about something, and she was determined to find out what it was. She went to Tim's room and knocked on the door."Tim, can I talk to you?" she asked.Tim opened the door and looked at his mother with surprise. "What's wrong, Mom?" he asked."I just spoke to your father," Seline said, "and he told me that you've made some serious mistakes. He wants you to be cautious and not to do anything rash."Tim's eyes widened. "What kind of mistakes? Did… Did he say something?” he asked with a nervous look. "I don't know," Seline said as she thought about it. "Your father didn't tell me, but he said that you're in danger or something ."Tim's heart was in relief. "I knew it," he said. "I've been feeling like I'm going to be punished for something, but it's all good now. And you also know how father can be sometimes. Acting all mysterious all the time.”Selena smiled as she took his hand ,“I just sometimes feel like
As soon as Paul sat down, Ethan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "So, what do you want to talk about?"Paul took a moment to assess Ethan, not surprised by his imposing presence as the Willow's heir. Ethan's aura exudes an air of commanding authority and unyielding confidence. It radiates a magnetic charisma that draws others in, while his steely gaze holds a hint of smoldering intensity. His presence demands respect, with an underlying sense of cunning and ambition veiled behind a facade of nonchalance. His powerful energy commands attention and respect, making it evident that he is a force to be reckoned with. Supernatural and mysterious, his aura leaves a lasting impression on all who encounter him, a powerful mixture of charm, intelligence, and an aura of controlled power.Ethan exuded the aura of a leader who was not intimidated by anything. Paul, trying to maintain his composure, replied, "I heard you were collaborating with the Arthurs. I just found it surp
After Paul left, Kate observed Ethan with a raised eyebrow, waiting for an explanation."Care to explain what just happened right now?" she asked.Ethan's smirk only grew wider as he noticed her curiosity. "Am I that obvious?" he teased.Kate couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, you're not exactly known for being a good guy," she replied playfully. "So, what are you trying to do, Ethan?"Ethan leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled in front of him. "You're right, Kate. I don't want to work with Paul directly," he admitted, "but I do want to use him to my advantage."Kate nodded, captivated. "And what advantage would that be?" she asked, genuinely curious about Ethan's plan.Ethan's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Let's just say I've set a little trap for our dear new friend, Paul," he said with a smirk.Kate frowned, not fully understanding. "A trap? What do you mean?" she inquired.Ethan chuckled, enjoying the conspiracy he was building. "You see, Kate," he began, "I've been obser
Ethan looked directly into Paul's eyes, his expression unyielding. "I'm interested in your appearance, Paul," he said calmly. Paul raised an eyebrow, faking ignorance. "My appearance? What about it?" he replied with a touch of arrogance. Ethan smirked, undeterred by Paul's attempt to deflect the question. "Your appearance has always been the same," he observed. "But something seems off about it. Care to explain?" Paul maintained a facade of composure. "My appearance hasn't changed," he said firmly. "It's none of your business to question me about it." Ethan's smile turned dangerous, his eyes glinting with amusement. "None of my business, you say?" he asked, leaning in closer. "Is that really the case?" Paul's expression remained patient, but a hint of uncertainty flashed in his eyes. "What are you trying to imply, Ethan?" he asked, attempting to regain control of the situation. Ethan leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "I'm simply curious," he said coyly. "After all, you
