Sarah’s POV"I'm done." I put the spoon I was using on the table and then pushed my body to get up from there. I looked at Ethan, who was still quietly enjoying his breakfast, looking like he wanted to be there longer. I watched him for a few moments hesitantly. Wondering if he was going to drop me off or if I should go alone. I glanced again at the small circular clock in my hand, which made me even more urgent. "I have to go now, Ethan. Enjoy your breakfast." I prepared to leave with my laptop bag that I had placed on the table."I'll drive you." He made me stop my steps and turn to look at him silently. He cleared the corner of his aunt and got up from there. "What's wrong with surviving your breakfast?" He glanced at me while shaking his head lightly.Thanks to him, I scrunched my eyes strangely and walked behind him, following him into the car. My feet couldn't stop tapping anxiously during the trip because my mind was elsewhere. I was worried that my delay would become a proble
Ethan’s POV"Wouldn't it be better if you just told her?" Luke, who has been my right-hand man for almost five years now, also directed his gaze towards me, who was watching Sarah from my room, which had a two-way mirror.Sarah's kooky appearance since she came made me feel amused. I don't know when she became an exciting thing for me to pay attention to. I admit that I enjoy my free time more by observing her than other objects, which usually makes me think more critically and makes me somewhat tired of my thoughts. I liked it. Liked that her existence changed my habits a little, as well as my perspective on things.I averted my gaze, pivoting my body on the chair to face the other direction while smiling. "Leave it alone. It's not time yet. I don't want to tell her yet." Like my previous answer, Sarah doesn't need to know who I am for now.There would be no good in telling her my status as the owner of the company she works for. Knowing what she looks like, she would only get more a
Ethan's pov.I arrived in front of the hospital thirty minutes after leaving the office. Considering Luke imagined my daily life as exhausting, I never thought about it before. Maybe, yes, I was tired, but it had never occurred to me before. Because if I had time to stop, I'd use that time to fall asleep immediately.That's how my body responded all this time. I never complained about it. However, the whole time, I repeatedly let out a long sigh out of annoyance, boredom, or because I felt that something would take more time while I wanted to move on to something else immediately.But I think I immensely enjoyed it, my busyness helped me direct my thinking brain to something more practical, rather than thinking about other things that have no purpose."Oh, you've arrived, Doctor Ethan?" Two women, who were my coworkers at that place, passed me in the corridor after they came out of their private rooms.I gave both of them a glance and nodded my head, not intending to make small talk t
Ethan's pov"When will he arrive?" I muttered under my breath, looking at the watch in my hand. Then, I turned my gaze outside."Can I choose where to buy the coffee, doctor Ethan?" Doctor Smith's voice turned my gaze towards him. He pointed at the courtyard outside the hospital, where shops and cafes bustled.Having given me his sandwich for free, he now asked me to order him coffee. For a moment, I tried to process it with the option of just giving him my card so he could buy it himself since I was not in the mood for coffee or moving from my spot, especially since I was checking the report Luke sent me.But he said that it didn't matter if I was busy at the moment, he would wait. He then just walked out of my room without hearing my answer first. Then, when he came back to see me, who had just finished checking, he quickly charged it and didn't leave me with much choice.I nodded my head. "Yes, that's fine." This job involves close relationships with others, and it's good for me t
Sarah’s POV"Where do you want to treat me?" Ethan got up from his chair and took off the doctor's coat he had been wearing.He looked impressive in that doctor's coat, but even when he took it off, he was still amazing. They say being fashionable is all about the face and body proportions, while what you wear is just a support that reinforces the impression, and Ethan proved that through his face.The man was perfect even though he was wearing strange clothes made by designers who made clothes no longer for their function to be comfortable to wear but because of their breakthroughs and desire to be different."From this place, turn to Orchid Street. I will direct you further," I replied to his words as he opened his car door and ensured I got inside first.Ethan briefly raised his gaze to me, and he made me sit there and put my seatbelt on.I don't know if he was teasing me or what, but he managed to make my heart beat irregularly because of it. He made me stop breathing briefly when
Sarah’s POV"You know him, Ethan?" I looked at Ethan and Mr. Luke in turn. Mr. Luke was my boss at the place where I worked, and as far as I knew, I had never introduced the two, and they had never met either, so how could they know each other?I noticed Ethan averting his gaze from Luke. He looked rather awkward, while Mr. Luke seemed to be avoiding my gaze. What exactly happened between them?Ethan raised his hand and pointed at Luke with his open palm. "He and I are acquainted as patients. He is one of my patients."I covered my mouth with my hand. "Ah, is that so?" My eyes widened, turning to Mr. Luke with a sympathetic face. "So you're sick, sir?"I saw Mr. Luke's face staring at me hesitantly and not looking good. I immediately fell silent, the expression on his face making me wonder if maybe my question to him crossed the line. Could it be that his illness is a secret, and I made him feel awkward from earlier by asking them. "Ah, sorry. I shouldn't have asked, once again sorry
Sarah's POVI stared at Ethan in disbelief, my palms covering my agape mouth. I didn't expect that Ethan had this kind of thing he was hiding from me. That guy is unpredictable. Actually, he did look mysterious, but I thought that his mysteriousness only came from the character he had, but apart from that, Ethan was full of surprises.Getting to know and spending time with him made me feel like I was opening up layer upon layer of parts of him that I didn't know before. I sighed heavily while shaking my head. This was too much information. My hand covering my mouth now covered my face, which was sitting down. Then, I tried to breathe better.I straightened my head again, and then my eyes searched for water in the glass and drank it in a hurry. I had to process this information well somehow. Then I looked at Mr. Luke and Ethan, going back and forth between them with a questioning gaze. "My boss? Is it true, Mr. Luke?" I wanted him to confirm it.I watched as Mr. Luke nodded his head. "
Alex Pov's"Ah, shit! What happened?" I closed the door of the house roughly and dropped my body on the sofa unceremoniously.Today's decision really pissed me off. Where exactly did she get all that evidence for the submission when I had been so careful every time I saw Emily? I'm sure I wasn't being careless by having someone catch my trail or anything like that. I even applied to various places to see Emily, not under my name, but how could she know?"What a bitch!" My hand picked up the sofa cushion and threw it unceremoniously in annoyance. My emotions were getting the better of me, my body felt a radiating heat, and I repeatedly inhaled and exhaled, not making me feel any better.My chest still felt like it was on fire. Everything should have gone well. This is beyond my imagination. I thought she would just be angry for a while and accept me again. Hasn't she always been independent, not relying on the help of others and always making herself her helper? So why was she so angry
