Bound By Secret's Chapter 14
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.

Ethan's lips softened a bit more. "No deductions." Lena would still receive her two hundred thousand dollar salary. With the added fifty thousand dollars in advance, wouldn't that mean she could earn over seven hundred thousand dollars each month? She no longer had to juggle bare minimum meals! With that thought, Lena nearly forgot her fear of Ethan. Ethan silently observed Lena. He believed he had offered her a well-paying assistant's salary, yet he did not anticipate this girl to be so money-grubbing. However, if he knew about her upbringing, he would probably understand why she valued money so much. She valued it so much that, for money, she could endure pressures that ordinary people could not bear, working under the proverbial "tiger's gaze." "Will we be having noodles for lunch? I'll go and buy some vegetables later," Lena repressed her excitement. Ethan added, "You'll also need to buy noodles and seasoning!" Although there was a kitchen, it lacked practically everything. L

Ethan's tone made Lena’s heart sink, and she quickly asked, "I just need to confirm something. You don't have salt and vinegar in the kitchen, right?" Ethan's face darkened. Lia sat on Ethan’s right, while the company’s finance manager, David, sat on his left. Both could hear Lena’s voice. Moreover, what they heard seemed to be about salt and vinegar. Here they were, discussing a billion-dollar project with Ethan, and Lena was asking about condiments. Lia and David exchanged stunned, apprehensive glances. They even broke out in a cold sweat for Lena, thinking that Ethan was about to explode in anger. However, the anticipated outrage did not occur. Instead, they heard him calmly say, "Get both. Can you carry them?" Lia was confused. David was shocked as well. The mighty Ethan was concerned if a junior assistant could carry groceries! Everyone in the meeting room, especially those seated too far to hear the phone conversation clearly, were guessing who was on the line

After all, with a salary of seventy thousand dollars a month, she should not just take it for nothing! Including the night before and now, Ethan had cooked for himself twice, which made her feel somewhat embarrassed. Just as the two were enjoying the peaceful life with delicious food, the entire assistant department became unsettled. Everyone was trying to stand out in order to compete for the position of assistant, but Lena had not emerged from Ethan's office since the afternoon... Was Lena attempting to seduce Ethan? If that was the case, she would be rather foolish. It was well-known in the entire Lenkas City that Ethan was not interested in women. The whole department was now waiting to see how Lena would suffer the consequences... At this time in the break room, Lena felt slightly sleepy after eating. Ethan glanced at her and ordered, "Do the dishes!" "Oh okay!" Lena quickly got up. Washing dishes was expected of her, and she was good at it without
