Sarah’s POVI smiled at the thought of Donna, earlier when she saw Ethan ,she complimented him on his amazing looks, but what would happen? What would she say, and what would her reaction be if she found out that Ethan was the boss at work, the man whose rumours were talked about by all the office employees, the person she considered disabled.He would have been shocked, perhaps frozen in place, speechless, or even in disbelief. "You know Donna?" I turned to the man again as I led him out of the café since we were done there."Your friend from earlier?" He pulled my hand back into his grip.I nodded my head while walking out of the cafe. "Yes, but other than that, she's also your employee at the office." I noticed that the man was silent and just listening without any meaningful expression on his face except that he was listening and watching his surroundings while I was walking as if anticipating something that might approach and intrude on me. "You didn't know that?"He nodded. "I k
Sarah’s POV"Come on." I invited him to move from there without looking directly into his eyes. My heart was still beating noisily at this moment, creating a restlessness in me that was a little difficult to overcome.The stares of the people watching us walk together with me carrying a large bouquet of flowers in my hand made it more conspicuous and stole their attention towards me, I could hear them faintly whispering about how lucky I was to be treated so special by him, and some of them stared with smiles and whispered about things I couldn't hear but from the way they looked at me, with warm smiles making me feel embarrassed and hid even more, covering my face with the bouquet I was carrying."Ethan, come quickly." I insisted by pulling his hand. The man looked at me with confusion on his face."Where are we going? Is there anything else you want to do?" He asked me as he approached.I slowly started to slow down my footsteps and kept pace with him. "Where else? Haven't we done e
Sarah’s POV"I have to tell him first." I left my room quickly to the next room to approach Ethan. I knocked on his door several times until it opened and revealed himself in the doorway."What's wrong?" He waited for me in the doorway of his half-open room. Waiting for me to tell him what I needed to do since I rarely knocked on his door."Em...." I felt a little reluctant to invite someone to come here since this was his house, even though he said that Lira could go anytime to see me. "My friend, Lira, wants to come to see how I'm doing. Is it okay if I let her come?" I looked at his expressionless face.When he nodded, I felt relieved. "Sure, she can even stay over if she wants. I don't mind at all. You're free to invite your friends, even without asking my permission first." He responded casually.I held a smile on my lips with her answer, which left me satisfied. "In that case, thank you." I pointed to my room. "Then I'm going back to my room."Ethan nodded his head and I hurried
Sarah’s POV "What else has happened since you've moved to this place? How has your relationship progressed more precisely? I'm curious." Lira nudged my arm while revealing a smile on her flat teeth, hiding behind her half-open lips.I snorted with laughter as I averted my eyes from her. The more I dodged, the closer she got to me and left me with no opening to escape from her who was now starting to tickle my stomach."Tell me I made you unable to speak." She insisted."Alright, alright." I took her hand away from me and straightened my sitting position. "What happened in this place after I moved here wasn't really much." I fixed the position of the glasses for no reason, just to make my eyes focus without having to look at Lira alone. I still didn't want to tell her about our relationship status, which was an agreement.Lira mustn't know or she'll go back to worrying about me, she'll go back to being sad because she thinks that my life hasn't changed. Although that wasn't entirely t
Sarah’s POV"What's wrong?" I kept seeing her smiling while walking with my hand. I knew that she was in a good mood, but it felt like this smile was teasing me, and I couldn't resist asking her.Lira turned to me with an even bigger smile on her face. "Isn't she very loyal to you?"So, Ethan was the reason her smile had kept appearing on her lips since getting out of the car. I averted my eyes from him. "I don't know, I don't really think about it." I didn't know what to say. I still felt unworthy of receiving these kinds of luxurious things from Ethan.I vowed not to take advantage of him because this relationship was an agreement only. I realized that I shouldn't harm him. But... that guy just kept making the boundaries set by the line fade away because of his actions. He constantly appeared, offering various things that weakened me."What do you know? Don't you realize that his attitude is very considerate of you? It's like he's showing that he wants to be your provider. Having a
Sarah’s POVAlex looked at me in disbelief. "There's no way you have that much money." Her eyelids opened perfectly. "No matter if you work, five million dollars is a lot. You can't possibly have that."This man was indeed looking down on me. Such a large sum? I can't possibly have it? Of course I have more than that amount of money in my savings, I have value. The company I work for appreciates me well. They pay me a decent amount so I can live a decent life.Maybe all this time, she thought of wealth and comfort. Little did she know that I wasn't after anything from her. I could live well without his money and just rely on my salary, but I stayed because I loved him.Because I was too stupid and expected it, it took me too long to realize that the man I loved was trash.I snorted, my eyebrows twitching angrily. "You don't know anything about me!" It was obvious.How could he know if he had never noticed me all this time? He ignored me like I was never a part of his life. What did sh
Sarah's povI am pretty satisfied with my situation right now. I didn't need to do anything to them, so I took Lira's hand to get out of there, but Alex held my arm. "You're really rotten, Sarah. Now I know whose card you're using." He judged me not only with his words but also with the look in his eyes. That card must be Ethan's."Rotten he said? I furrowed my brow. How could someone like him call me rotten when he had behaved even worse than me. He who is more despicable with his behaviour insults me worse than him. Obviously, he has absolutely no idea what the word means that he can talk carelessly."Oh, so she's a cheap woman who apparently uses other people's wealth for extravagance!" Emily exclaimed excitedly, the smile on her face moving in sync with her facial expression to make fun of me. "No wonder she was able to buy it, apparently someone else's card.""Shut your mouth! The garbage smell is spreading everywhere!" Lira snatched at her while pointing and covering her nose.E
Ethan's Pov"In this case, the project that we are currently going to do has a fairly minimal risk, and we can also avoid it by doing so...." In front of me, Luke was still talking about the development of the project we were going to do, but the ringing on my phone made me turn my attention away from him. Luke's voice was faint and only sounded like an insignificant background as I checked my phone screen and found a message notification from my card user.I smiled, remembering who my card was with at the moment. "So she used it to buy a necklace." It was unexpected for her, but it's a significant improvement for me.Sarah has always been a bit difficult for me to pamper. Striving to spoil her was quite difficult because she resisted a lot and acted independently. I assumed it was because she didn't have anyone she could rely on during her lifetime. There was no one she could trust to lean on, so Sarah became a difficult person to get close to.She may have been physically close, bu
