Bound By Secret's Chapter 11
Lena was probably the dumbest assistant Marcus had ever had. With her slow brain, things wouldn't work out if he neglected to spell out to her about the interests involved. However, before Marcus could pull Lena out of the door for an explanation, he heard Ethan say, "Choose between getting married and leaving the city!" Lena tensed up. Her breath halted at that moment. She looked at Ethan with aggrieved eyes, but his gloomy face clearly showed he was thunderous. Although the marriage wouldn't be valid, countless women in the city pandered to him. He had never been rejected so bluntly. Until this moment. Meeting Lena's gaze, Marcus looked away. His hands were tied, he seemed to say. "I'll talk to her first," he said through gritted teeth before pulling Lena out of the CEO's office. In the director's office, Lena didn't know what to say. After that night with Ethan, her mind had often become incredibly muddled. Marcus picked up the cup of water in front of him and glanced at h

Ever since she met her in junior high, Aria had been the best ride or die anyone could ask for. Back then, many of her classmates had disliked Lena for being a poor girl and shunned her. Only Aria, the domineering heiress, stood up for her. Even though Aria might sometimes sound harsh, she always had Lena's best interest at heart. "Oh, now you realize how good I am?" Aria, praised by Lena, raised her chin adorably and proudly. "Are you eating at your sister's tonight?" "I'm not sure. Don't wait up for me tonight!" "Alright, alright!" Aria nudged her. They both went to the underground car park. On the way to the mall, Lena called her sister, Mia. "Sis, how tall and how heavy is my niece now?" Upon hearing the question, Mia knew instantly that she was going to buy clothes for the child. Knowing how hard her sister worked, she replied, "Don't buy anything for her. There are still a lot of clothes in the wardrobe. Use your salary to buy yourself some good food. Save the extra

Ethan bent over to pick something up and inspected it in his hand. Upon seeing the packaging, he froze.Condoms?Besides him, the only one who often frequented this apartment was Lena, who frequently came to get things. So...A profound smile spread across Ethan's face. He immediately dialed Lena's number.At the Lanes household, not long after dinner, David and Clara went out, living the ultimate bourgeois life of city locals.Seeing the incoming call on her phone, Lena's heartbeat sped up instantly. She hurriedly walked into the courtyard. "Mr. Walker.""Where are you?" Ethan's magnetic voice came through the line.Lena swallowed. "At my sister's."She didn’t know why, but every time she answered Ethan’s calls, her heart raced. Even if his tone wasn’t harsh, it still made her nervous. It was probably because his stern image was firmly rooted in her mind."Send me your location.""Come again?"Why would he want her location? Before she could ask, the call abruptly ended. Lena's face

As the CEO's assistant, Lena Hayes's duties didn't just include preparing documents or fetching materials; taking care of Ethan Walker's everyday life was also part of her job. So she naturally assumed that Ethan needed her to do something. However, Ethan seemed entirely oblivious to the fact that he had brought her along. But then he said in a deep voice, “No overtime. From today on, you live here.”Lena's eyes widened in shock. They would be cohabitating? She was utterly unprepared for this! Stuttering, she asked, “A-aren't we in a contractual marriage?”Ethan had already opened the car door and glanced at her before getting out. “Yes, it's a contractual marriage, but you need to live here too.” No explanation was given, only a curt command. The authoritative words left no room for Lena to resist.Clutching the food box tightly, Lena felt an utter panic. She was already overwhelmed working with Ethan in the same office... He might as well kill her. She worried she would live in con

No matter what, don't bring up that night. Even if Mr. Walker does, change the topic quickly. Remember this! Even though Lena expressed her determination, Aria still had to remind her. To keep the innocent bunny from being captured by the cunning fox, they had to avoid any pitfalls.That night, Aria talked at great lengths to Lena. Being under the same roof as the tiger was very worrying. "Okay... I'm too sleepy. I can't hold up any longer..." Seeing that Lena could not keep her eyes open, Aria finally let her be. "Alright, go to sleep. You must hold out..."Lena fell asleep quickly, but her rest was uneasy. She woke up several times throughout the night, not used to the new bed and on edge.When she finally woke up at six, her rumbling stomach forced her out of bed. She tiptoed into the kitchen and reheated the food her sister had packed for her. She had wanted to cook some noodles, but aside from bread, milk, and eggs, there was nothing else in the refrigerator.When Ethan woke up

Hearing Ethan Walker’s stern tone, Lena Hayes knew he was upset again. However, she did not know what exactly had gotten him worked up this time. They crossed the intersection."I can get off here. It's just a short walk away," she quipped.Ethan shot her a frosty glance. "Why?""It wouldn't look good if people from the company saw us together!" Lena explained nervously. If the company's employees saw her getting out of Ethan's passenger seat, it would stir up a huge commotion. She did not want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.Ethan scoffed. "You certainly think things through." His sarcastic tone made Lena's breath hitch, still not understanding what she had done to upset him. Ethan said nothing more and parked the car by the roadside. Lena got out as if she was making a run for it. Without saying anything to him, she headed straight for the company.Ethan unconsciously clenched the steering wheel. Was she that afraid of him? Did he seem like a wolf to her? Lena entered the c

"I can't..." Lena responded truthfully. How could she smoothly deflect the topic against the astute Ethan? If she changed the topic too abruptly, he would undoubtedly sense that something was amiss! Aria remained silent, her heart pounding in her chest. Previously, Lena only had to face Ethan during work hours, but now it was practically round-the-clock. Not only that, but people tend to let their guard down the most. Aria inhaled sharply. "I'm entrusting the dignity of the Smith family to you!" The marriage was a done deal, unable to be undone by any means. Lena could only accept her fate. She nodded again. "Rest assured. Even if something goes wrong, I won't rat you out." Was this a matter of confessing or not confessing? Ethan was someone who loved to get to the bottom of things, and Lena's abilities were not to be underestimated. If he truly discovered that the damaged video was related to her, he would certainly trace the clues to find the culprit and investigate her.
