Steven must devise a strategy to remove Ethan from his position, and he recognizes that only one individual can assist him in carrying out his nefarious scheme: his elder sister, Jane. He contacts her and shares the recent developments at his workplace. "Hello big sis," Steven greets. "Hi little bro, how's your day going?" Jane asks. "I'm not doing well," Steven replies. "Why aren't you well, what's bothering you?" Jane inquires. "It's about work," Steven responds. "Hmm, what about work?" Jane questions, intrigued. "Remember that new guy Ethan who got promoted recently?" Steven asks. "Yes, I remember him, what's going on?" Jane queries. "Unfortunately, he got another promotion, while I'm still stuck in my old role. I haven't even been promoted once, and if this keeps up, he'll soon be my manager, making my life difficult," Steven explains. "My goodness, that's troubling.

"Oh no, I'm sorry! I got carried away with my new friend Ethan, I guess," Angela says apologetically. " "It's all good, apology accepted. I probably would have done the same in your shoes. So, how was your date with Mr. Perfect?" Cynthia asked eagerly. "It was great! He showed up, and we chatted; girl, it was a blast," Angela replied cheerfully. "I'm happy to hear that! So, did you two share a kiss?" Cynthia inquired. "Ah, Cynthia, it's too soon for that! Ethan's a real gentleman, and even if he wanted to kiss me, I wouldn't allow it. I'm not that kind of girl, you know," Angela clarified. "Haha, relax; I was just teasing," Cynthia chuckled back. "We actually went on a second date today, and I'm just returning. I thought about you, so I decided to call," Angela explained. Hearing this, Cynthia rolled her eyes and asked, "Wait, you've already gone out on a second date?" "Yeah, after our first date, we became closer and ended up talking on the phone, sharing stories. So, we deci

cleaner at work," Ethan admitted. "A cleaner?" Alfie questioned. "Yes, a cleaner. Is there something wrong with that?" Ethan challenged. "Mate, come on, with all the girls interested in you, why would you choose a cleaner?" Alfie asked. "Hahaha, Alfie, her being a cleaner doesn't mean I can't date her. Look, I'm not dating her for what she does but for who she is. If circumstances were different, she wouldn't be a cleaner because she has great potential," Ethan explained with a laugh. "Wow, I like that. Just be careful she doesn't take your money and run," Alfie advised. "Haha, she won't. Thanks for looking out, mate," Ethan chuckled appreciatively. "No problem, mate," Alfie responded. "Well, I need some sleep. You should get some too," Ethan said with a laugh. "Sure, just need to clear my head a bit," Alfie replied. "Oh, I just remembered - there's food in the freezer. You can microwave it for yourself," Ethan mentioned. "I should serve myself? Seriously?" Alfie replied.

Ethan didn’t say anything else; he just smiled as he ended the call It was 4:00 PM again, and once more, there were no Steven problems. Ethan was puzzled as to why Steven had suddenly calmed down, since the Steven he knew wouldn't allow him any peace or relaxation, but now he seemed different. Ethan planned to ask Steven about his well-being on Monday, as today was all about Angela. “This is strange; I’ll check in with Steven since it’s been two weeks since he bothered me. I need to find out what’s going on,” Ethan spoke to himself. Once home, Ethan got ready to meet Angela. He wanted to catch her off guard, so he didn’t call ahead. Plus, if he was to ask her to be his girlfriend, he wanted to ensure she was as genuine inside as she appeared outside. Ethan drove to Angela's apartment, and fortunately, she always did her thorough cleaning on Fridays, so her place was spotless this Friday as well. She was watching a movie on her phone since she didn’t own a television when

appeared on the surface because that might undermine her, so he just claimed he wanted to surprise her. "Haha, Angela, like I mentioned before, I only wanted to surprise you, and the pranks were part of that surprise," Ethan chuckled. "Okay, but this unexpected visit is a bit concerning. Anyway, it’s fine; so how was work?" Angela inquired. "Work is very good; hey, I have some news for you," Ethan said. "Oh, I love news!" Angela responded eagerly. Then he began to share the story. "You remember Steven, the one I’ve told you about who has been giving me issues at work?" Ethan asked. "You mean the one who always annoys you at work?" Angela queried. "Exactly!" Ethan exclaimed. "What about him? Was he fired?" Angela asked. "Fired? No, far from it!" Ethan replied. "Then what is it? I'm so curious to know," Angela insisted. "You won’t believe it, but for the past two weeks, he hasn’t bothered me," Ethan explained. "Wow, are you serious?" Angela asked. "Yeah, he’s changed," Eth

"It is quite alright; as I mentioned previously, it is part of my job. Now, let us proceed so that I can retrieve it for you," Angela insisted. Martin followed her, and she retrieved the T-shirt, handing it to him. "Thank you very much. By the way, my name is Martin; what is yours?" Martin introduced himself. "My name is not of great importance, as you can see," Angela replied curtly. "Haha, very amusing. I merely wished to thank you by addressing you by your name. I come in peace and mean no harm," Martin chuckled, appealing for her understanding. "Very well, my name is Angela, although I prefer not to disclose it often," Angela admitted. "What a lovely name for a beautiful lady. In any case, thank you once again, Angela; I truly appreciate it," Martin expressed his gratitude. "You are welcome," Angela responded. "Here is the remaining balance for the T-shirt. I must commend you on the uniqueness and quality of your clothing. A friend referred me to your boutique; please cont

such an idea? You know me far too well to make such assumptions," Angela replied. "Well, all I am saying is that you have changed. Ever since you began dating Ethan, you have become different and less accessible. What do you expect me to think? Have you forgotten the saying, 'how you dress is how you are addressed'? You have changed, so I momentarily overlooked the fact that I know you so well," Cynthia explained. "Hmm, well, I cannot move in with a man who is not yet my husband. Moreover, it does not sound appealing, and Ethan would not permit me to move in with him; he prefers that I visit for two or three days and then leave. He has previously stated that he would not deny me my independence by keeping me confined in his home without marriage," Angela clarified. "You made a statement that piqued my interest, and I would like to pose a question," Cynthia said. "Very well, I am listening," Angela encouraged. "You mentioned that he prefers you to stay for two or three days a

And why are you seated in this exquisite designer boutique?" Cynthia asked, her curiosity piqued. "Haha! Calm down, my dear friend. I will address all your inquiries, but first, please take a seat," Angela replied with laughter. "Alright, but please begin speaking, as I am eager to learn about this surprise," Cynthia insisted. "Of course. May I offer you a drink?" Angela inquired. "I shall not consume anything until you reveal this surprise," Cynthia insisted. "Very well, I will respond to your questions. First and foremost, I am not engaged; the surprise I referred to on the phone is that this beautiful designer boutique, as you described it, is mine," Angela explained with a smile. Cynthia could scarcely believe her ears and was taken aback. She asked, "Oh my goodness! Are you saying that this stunning designer boutique I admired upon entering belongs to you?" "Yes, that is precisely what I just declared," Angela joyfully confirmed. Cynthia was filled with curiosity, as if s

about the source of his happiness. “I have been observing you for some time and felt compelled to ask what the secret is,” Steven requested. “What secret?” Ethan asked quickly. “The secret to your happiness,” Steven replied. Ethan felt compelled to fabricate a response, aware that Steven disapproved of Angela and their relationship. “Oh, that? It is nothing; I am simply feeling grateful for life,” Ethan lied. “By the way, it has been a month since I last saw your girlfriend Angela after that incident; has she stopped working?” Steven asked. “Haha, she has resigned and is now employed elsewhere,” Ethan laughed and replied. “Alright, I see you are on your computer this afternoon,” Steven remarked. “Yes, I am. Would you like to assist me?” Ethan inquired. “That would be wonderful,” Steven responded enthusiastically. Steven aided him for the third time, and although his eyes remained on Ethan, he had grown accustomed to Steven’s assistance, which alleviated his stress. Wheneve

maturity. Therefore, relax; you have accomplished the most significant task, which is to confront Anna. Moreover, the entire staff is opposed to Anna for her disrespectful behaviour towards Angela," Steven clarified. Ethan took a deep breath and smiled. "Thank you." As Steven and Ethan continued their conversation, Steven felt pleased with their camaraderie, as he was eager to set his plans in motion. However, he recognised that acting hastily could render him the prime suspect, so he decided to heed his sister's advice and proceed with caution. After finishing work, Ethan returned home and found Angela asleep. "It appears she has been crying," Ethan remarked softly. He gently kissed her, causing her to awaken and embrace him. "Welcome home, my love," Angela said. "Thank you, my love. How are you this evening?" Ethan inquired. "I am well. I was lost in thought and then fell asleep," Angela replied. "Hmm, I trust you were not crying?" Ethan quickly asked. "Not at al

Upon hearing this, Ethan seized her arm tightly, his frustration mounting as he shouted, “Oh, just try me and see! I dare you!” “Ethan, let go; you are hurting me!” Anna screamed. Ethan then released her arm, pushed her aside, and walked away. Anna swiftly went to report Ethan to the bank manager. “Sir, I experienced a minor issue with one of our cleaners, Angela, and for some reason, Ethan confronted me,” Anna reported. “Is that so? What transpired that led to your altercation with Angela this morning?” the bank manager inquired. “Well, she accidentally spilled dirt on me and failed to apologise,” Anna explained. “Indeed, and what action did you take when you realised she would not apologise?” the bank manager questioned. “I yelled at her,” Anna admitted. “And while you were yelling at her, did she respond in any way?” the bank manager probed. “Not at all,

replied, "It is acceptable. However, had you inquired before making assumptions, you would have discovered that she is my girlfriend, but it is fine." "Thank you for accepting my apology; I owe you one. How about we share a bottle of beer tonight?" Steven suggested cheerfully. "Noted, but I must inform you that I am not one that drinks excessively," Ethan replied. "Hehehehe, just a bottle or two," Steven chuckled. "Very well, let us see how it goes. For now, if you are free, I would greatly appreciate your assistance with typing since you are quite proficient, allowing me to attend to other matters," Ethan requested. This was the opportunity Steven had been anticipating, and he readily accepted the offer. "Certainly, I am free. If typing for you helps you to forget about today's incident, I am willing to assist until the end of the workday," Steven teased as he took a seat. "You are quite amusing, Steven. However, if it is not too much trouble, could you begin typing now while

as he is welcome here at any time,” Ethan explained. "Everything you have said about him is accurate; he behaved exactly as you anticipated, suggesting that you must have known him for quite some time," Angela inferred. "Indeed, I have known him since childhood, which I must say is quite a considerable time. He is like a brother to me, as I mentioned before. In any case, thank you for visiting my home today as promised; once again, you are most welcome,” Ethan expressed. "We had an agreement; you fulfilled your part, and now it is time for me to fulfil mine," Angela stated. Ethan nodded and replied, “It is indeed a pleasure to have you here.” “I am grateful; by the way, you have a lovely home,” Angela complimented. “Thank you very much,” Ethan replied. “I should be on my way now; it is getting late,” Angela insisted as she stood up. “Please, do not go. I would prefer you to stay. My home is also your home, and you are welcome here at any time. However, I do ask one favour,” Et

Ethan smiled and said, "Ah, my friend, you are indeed a true companion. I am grateful that you chose not to let me down." "It is nothing, my friend. Allow me to assist you," Alfie insisted. "Very well, thank you," Ethan expressed his gratitude. Alfie then aided Ethan with the housework, and once they completed their tasks, they took a moment to rest. "Your girlfriend must be quite special for you to have cleaned your house so meticulously," Alfie remarked. "Haha, I would say you are correct," Ethan laughed in response. "By the way, is this the same Angela you mentioned previously that we are expecting today?" Alfie asked. "Yes, that is indeed her. Why do you inquire?" Ethan questioned. "Nothing in particular; I merely wanted to confirm. What time is she scheduled to arrive, as evening has already approached?" Alfie inquired. "Do
