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

As long as Lena was not under the same roof as Ethan, no such issues would arise. Lena nodded, feeling that Aria was right! The look that Ethan gave her at the time was the same as the one he gave to the women who climbed into his bed. It was incredibly fierce and dangerous! "Wouldn't I be kicked out of the Johnston Group then?" Thinking about this, Lena turned to Aria with a startled, fearful expression. Aria shook her head. "No, he still needs you as his wife right now. He wouldn't kick you out of the company." The reason Ethan married her was obviously to deal with the Johnston family. Firing her now would clearly not be feasible! She had to stay by his side, but he would definitely not give her a chance to get close again. This time, it could be considered a blessing in disguise for Lena. With such an analysis, Lena's mood indeed improved a lot. She did not feel as terrified as before. "However, you have to be more careful in the future. Mr. Walker doesn't

Outside the office, Maria and Ann deliberately walked past Ethan Walker's office door. They thought that once Lena Hayes entered the office, she would receive a verbal lashing from Ethan and then be kicked out of the company. However, they had passed by several times, and surprisingly, there was no hint of a commotion. The two caught each other's glance. Just as they were pondering Lena's fate, the office door suddenly swung open from inside. Out came Ethan, impeccably dressed, and in his hand was... Lena's hand? The smug anticipation in Maria and Ann's eyes as they awaited Lena's departure instantly froze. Their attention fixated on the two hands clasped together. They were completely lost for a response. At this point, Lena's emotions were completely erratic. With her hand being held by Ethan, it felt as if she was being scalded by boiling water. She felt their intense stares and struggled slightly. Ethan turned to look at her. "What's wrong?" Lena frowned, saying nothing. M

Ethan Walker pushed Lena Hayes toward Jenny, saying, "Show your sister-in-law around. She needs to familiarize herself with the place." "Have you decided? Are you going to move back in?" Jenny raised an eyebrow. Ethan did not respond. The gloom in his eyes radiated an inconceivable ferocity. Seeing that Ethan remained silent, Jenny smiled and took Lena's hand. "Leave her to me. You can go." Ethan nodded and turned to Lena. "Wait for me for half an hour, okay?" "Okay!" Lena's heart was thumping wildly. She had no idea what the situation was. Although there was no confrontation at the moment, she had been feeling incredibly oppressed since she stepped foot here. Ethan walked on, and after only two steps, Jenny shouted at his retreating figure, "Ethan!" There was pure worry in her tone. Ethan paused. He did not turn around but only replied coldly, "What?" Jenny warned in a deep voice, "Don't provoke Dad. Don't fall into traps that you shouldn't." Hearing this reminder, Lena

Ethan had a social event in the evening, and he planned to send Lena to Eclipse Court. However, Lena wanted to return to the dormitory because she had been thinking about Aria. Ever since she entered the walkers family, Aria had called her countless times. She finally got away from Ethan and immediately called Aria back. Aria quickly answered and jumped up in surprise. "Why haven’t you been answering your phone? Where are you?" "I’m downstairs at the dormitory. I was with Mr. Walker just now, so I didn’t dare to pick up the phone!" Lena responded anxiously. She was still feeling overwhelmed from the clash she had had at the Hayes family. Aria urged her, "Come up quickly." "Should I bring some food for you?" "There’s no need. I won’t be able to eat!" Aria responded. Hearing that Aria could not even eat, Lena immediately felt a sense of foreboding and rushed upstairs. Her other two roommates led vibrant night lives and were not home for the evening. Upon entering
