Ethan calmly walked back to his desk without looking at the confused Nina. He had made sure to take the elevator used by everyone in the office. He didn’t want to arouse any suspicion. After all, he almost got caught not long ago by Flora. Who called to check up on him again after not seeing him at the company’s cafeteria. “Where have you been? I almost got caught sneaking in some sandwich “ Nina complained. “I went out a bit," he replied calmly and took his seat. “Out of the company?” she asked, confused , why he went out to eat. Ethan was smart to get the full story about this and decided to just go with the flow. After all, he came back with an elevator and, understandably, he should have had such a good excuse. “Yeah, I went to eat outside ," he lied without any reaction. “That’s bad, the company has all that we need here. There is no need for you to go out and have lunch” Nina complained about it with a bitter face. She was right. Ethan was astonished when he was fi
…The next day …. After his encounter with the manager , Ethan had been a bit distant from Kate. She knew this might be the result of involvng herself with what he said he would be working on personally . Kate stood in his office with an annoyed look. She knew she was in the wrong but all that she was doing was for his own good . “I never for once asked you to interfere with what I said to you." he roared angrily . He looked at her and saw that she was sulking. He knew she might have gotten what he said wrong and decided to just explain himself to her. After will, she is someone who was sent to help him. “ you are taking it in the wrong way. I have never attended one in my life. Everything I have is because I did it with my ability. Having someone at my back and call now is something very new and different. I’m still not used to it and I hope you understand “he said. Kate realized she was being unreasonable. She has forgotten that he was raised in an orphanage and that this s
The days passed with no worry from the manager.Thanks to Kate’s intervention, he didn’t have time to give him trouble.Soon it was the day of the party organized by the office.Ethan walked from one place to another in his room thinking of what to put on that night.Since it was a weekend and there was an occasion in the evening, he decided to not go to the office.Even though there is a lot of work that he needs to attend to.Kate had some things to attend to so she wasn’t in the house at the moment.Soon after the only person in the house entered his room without even bothering to knock first.Ethan slowly raised his head and stared at the unwelcome guest but soon looked away.He wasn’t in the mood to talk to this annoying person.To be far away from him as possible, he removed one of the suits provided by Kate in his closet and walk into the bathroom to change.After he came out Dan who was bowed waiting to see how ridiculous his wild look was stunned.Inwards he was admiring thi
“Let’s all walk into this store after we are done with our jewel shopping," Daphne said with a smile on her face as she pointed at a store.“Okay, whatever you say my love.” Tim looked at her with love and admiration in his eyes.Daphne’s girlfriends who were following her were all blushing.After all, this was the handsome Tim whom they all had a crush on.It’s such a shame that he chose Daphne among all the pretty ladies in the city.Truth be good the two of them looked so comparable with each other that they could do nothing but watch from the side with a happy look.Daphne asked as she saw how envious her friends looked at her.She was so proud of herself that her manner of walking was showing it.She was a person who was into looks. If not she wouldn’t have gone into a fake married with Ethan back then.But even if Ethan was good-looking person, the fact that he was more like a servant was something she would never accept.Now she was into looks and also wealth. And the best pers
“Why, do you think you own everything here?" Tim asked Dan.He was already very furious with Ethan and seeing him smiling at him like a victorious proud hen, he wanted to knock Ethan in the head and punish him for not saying anything.Seeing the way Dan was looking at Etnam, Tim concluded that he might his lackeyIf not he wouldn’t look at Ehan like that.He might be disappointed.Seeing this, Tim decided to create a wedge between the two. Maybe this can help him steal Dan away from Etham as he did with Daphne .He wants that stupid, he felt an imposing aura coming from Dan.His identity might be special. But why he was with someone like Ethan who had no money or family?He would never know .He had forgotten that he saw Ethan not long ago enter a Lamborghini.Even if he does, he would connect it to Dan.To him, he was certain there is nothing good that can happen in his life.With this mindset, Tim decided to go all in.After all, he was a businessman.“I can own this and more if I w
Kate who was speaking to one of the managers in the mall heard his words and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.She has never known her boss had such a poisonous mouth. But even if, she was still happy that he was standing up for himself.She wanted to walk over and help him but she decided to wait and see what he would do next.Ethan saw that their expression were not good and decide to continue.How they were feeling was none of his business.“So Mr…..” Ethan looks at Tim as he honestly didn’t even know his name.One of the ladies who was with them saw this and answered.“Tim”Daphne looked back and wanted to know who it was but as she looking her she saw they all her girlfriends were looking away.Who was it that said that ?Getting what he wants, Ethan continued.“Tim, you should be careful around her, she might want to suck you dry afterward you will have to kneel and beg. This is a reminder from me as her ex-husband. Good day “ he said and without waiting for their respons
Dan was still pissed off with Ethan about what happened in the mall not long ago.He was still sulking at the fact that Ethan knew how to defend himself but he allowed that low-status guy Tim to speak to him in such a rude manner for a while before he could say something.“What’s with the face? Are you hungry?" Kate teased.“I’m so unlike you who likes to hide while other people are saying bad things to your boss," Dan fired back.“Well I am not so annoying that my boss would shut me up with just a few actions," Kate also fired at him.She had just said something he did not want to talk about.“You,” he said with a threatening look and raised his fist like he was about to hit her but he did not.Ethan held his head and wondered why he even got himself involved with these people.What was with these childish arguments?“Can you all just shut up already, do you always act like this whenever you guys meet?” He said as he held his head in frustration looking at them.He then looked up at
Kate had something to do and left, and Dan also gave an excuse that he had something very important to discuss with her. Ethan just shook his hands to show that they can leave.As soon as they got out, he saw the worried look on her face.“You don’t have to worry about me, I’m okay “ she said as she tried to put on a not-so-worried look.Seeing the fake smile on her face, Dan felt more uncomfortable.He knew she was going through a lot at the moment.“I’m off, I would see you guys back at the mansion." And without another word she left.Dan sighed and sat as he took his head. He stuck at the entrance for a while and then looked behind him.Standing at the door, one couldn’t see the worried look on his face. He closed his eyes and grief to keep his emotions in check.He knew he had to keep himself from doing something he knew he would regret.As he turned around, he conceived his emotion. And he was back to normalIt looked like the worried look on his face was just an illusion.
