"Oh my goodness, are you serious?" Angela asked.

"Yes, my dear, and I stood there in stunned silence," Ethan admitted.

"How was it that you were able to open the door? Was it not locked?" Angela inquired.

"The door was indeed unlocked; I suspect they did not expect anyone to arrive at that moment, or perhaps he simply neglected to lock it," Ethan inferred.

"What happened next?" Angela queried.

"When I opened the door, Jennifer immediately saw me, gasped, and began pleading for forgiveness. Conversely, Edward was so overwhelmed with shame that he could not meet my gaze or utter a word," Ethan recounted.

"Naturally, he had ample reason to feel ashamed. What actions did you take following your discovery?" Angela inquired with a laugh.

"I did nothing; I was too heartbroken. Instead, I merely shook my head in disbelief, glaring at both of them with intense resentment," Ethan revealed.

"I empathise with your pain, but did she offer any explanation for her infidelity?

    the financial resources to investigate who framed me. Why can you not simply let it go?" Ethan asked. "I did not come here for that," Charlotte replied. Ethan blinked in surprise and queried, "Then why are you here if not concerning my situation?" "I am here because of our past, and I wish to discuss what happened between us and explore the possibility of making amends," Charlotte stated. Ethan was amused and he exclaimed, "What! You cannot be serious. There is no 'us,' so please return home." "Ethan, please refrain from being rude and allow me to explain," Charlotte pleaded. "For what reason? Is it only now that you think of me after you vanished without a trace? You blocked my contacts and refused to communicate with me. Now you stand here asking me to refrain from being rude?" Ethan lamented, his frustration evident. "I understand your feelings, and you are justified in feeling that way. However, I did not leave intentionally; it was a sudden decision. It was difficult for m

    that revealing the true reason behind his inquiry might raise suspicions, so he nodded and stated, "Never mind. I was merely asking because I miss you and aspire to emulate you in every aspect. I have already adopted the practices I am aware of, leading me to wonder if there was more I needed to do to resemble you." Ethan, moved by Steven's fabricated narrative, expressed sympathy, "Oh, Steven, I understand you are facing considerable challenges at work, but you must be gentle with yourself. My promotions were purely a result of divine grace; remember to take care of your health and approach your work with caution." Ultimately, Steven overlooked the fact that he had previously lied to Ethan about being asthmatic and was surprised when Ethan mentioned his health conditions. He questioned, "What health conditions are you referring to?" Ethan, amused, scrutinised Steven closely, astonished by the question he had posed. "I do not comprehend; did you forget that you are asthmatic?" At

    you were unconscious. I am Harper, the individual who saved you from being struck by a vehicle some time ago and also took you home," Harper introduced himself and elaborated. "Ah, I remember now. We did not have the opportunity to introduce ourselves that day, and I did not get to express my gratitude for your assistance," Ethan stated. "No need to mention it," Harper replied. "Allow me to introduce myself; I am Ethan," he said. "Pleasure to meet you, Ethan," Harper reciprocated. "I genuinely do not know how to express my gratitude, for if it were not for you, I would not be standing here today," Ethan implored. "Do not mention it; I am glad I could assist you. However, I would still like to understand the full circumstances surrounding your suicidal intent," Harper requested. "That is acceptable; however, it is indeed a sorrowful tale. Perhaps when you are free, I could visit, and we could discuss it," Ethan suggested. "Um, a visit may not be necessary, as you can see I am l

    “Indeed, you did,” Harper replied. Upon seeing Ethan, Angela stood up, and Harper expressed his gratitude. “I wish to thank you for your patience; I assure you that such delays will not happen again.” “Oh, it was no trouble at all,” Angela responded. “Ethan, thank you for your time as well,” Harper expressed his appreciation. “No need to mention it,” Ethan replied. They then departed, and Angela promptly returned to her workplace. Upon arriving home, Ethan informed Alfie that he had met Harper, the individual who came to his aid. He further explained that Harper is the sole proprietor of the cyber café they had visited and expressed that Harper wished to befriend him, which amused Alfie. It took Ethan a week to visit Harper again, but upon arrival, he found that Harper was not present. He approached one of the employees, named Emily, to inquire about his whereabouts. “Good afternoon, I am seeking your boss, Harper. Do you know if he is available?” Ethan asked. “Good afternoon

    she seems to be deteriorating further each day," Harper expressed. "It is quite alright; let it go," Ethan replied. "I trust you are not troubled by her comments?" Harper inquired. "Not at all. I am fine," Ethan assured him. "Very well, I hope you will continue to visit, and I promise that such an experience will not occur again," Harper stated. "Certainly, I shall," Ethan affirmed. They then enjoyed a drink and engaged in conversation before parting ways. Upon returning home, Ethan appeared despondent, and it was evident from his expression that he was unhappy. Sadly, Alfie noticed his mood and asked, "Mate, are you alright?" Ethan feigned contentment, as he feared that sharing the day’s events with Alfie would subject him to ridicule, so he chose to remain silent. "I am fine; I am merely fatigued," Ethan responded. "Alright," Alfie remarked. The following day, Ethan took a shower, gathered his credentials, and sought employment at various financial institutions, but he d

At that moment, Grayson’s heart raced, knowing he had important documents stored on the laptop, and he asked, “But who would perpetrate such a dreadful act against me?” “Honestly, I have no idea, but it could be someone to whom you have disclosed your information,” Harper speculated. “However, I have not shared my details with anyone; my information is confidential due to the sensitive documents on my laptop,” Grayson asserted. “Please remain calm, sir,” Harper advised. “How can I remain calm when you have just informed me that my laptop has been hacked?” Grayson retorted. Harper was left momentarily speechless. “Very well, what should I do now?” Grayson queried. “Your issue is being addressed,”

    Overcome with emotion, Ethan shed tears and embraced Alfie, expressing heartfelt gratitude. "Thank you so much, Alfie. I cannot fathom what I would have done or where I would be without you. I am grateful for the day we became friends." Alfie was rendered speechless. After ten minutes, Ethan picked up his phone, and as he began to dial a number, Alfie quickly stopped him. "Whom do you wish to call?" Alfie asked promptly. "I intend to call Angela to inform her of what has transpired," Ethan responded. "I do not believe that is a prudent idea," Alfie advised. "Hmm, I do not understand. Why do you say that?" Ethan countered. "Well, you mentioned that Harper indicated the individual who hacked your computer was close to you, and we have yet to ascertain who that is. . ." Alfie began, but Ethan interrupted. "Are you suggesting that Angela is responsible, or what?" Ethan queried. "I did not imply that. Please do not misunderstand me; I merely wished for you to remain on the safe si

    "Do you trust him?" Harper asked. "I cannot say definitively, but he is a good and caring person," Ethan replied. "How well do you know this Steven?" Harper inquired further. "Not very well, although he seems to be quite close to me," Ethan admitted. Alfie interjected with a thought, "What if Steven is the one responsible for this?" "That is absurd; Steven would not do such a thing to me. While we may have been rivals in the past, we are now good friends who support one another," Ethan asserted. "Do not jump to conclusions just yet. The individual who committed this act is someone close to you and has had access to your computer. Thus, it could be anyone," Harper advised. After twenty minutes of silence, Ethan contemplated the possibility of Steven being the culprit, but he remained uncertain, as Angela also had access to his computer, though he believed she would not do anything of that nature. Ultimately, he chose not to disclose Angela's access to his computer. "I have cons

You have noticeably lost weight," Alfie suggested.Ethan's expression grew somber as he replied, "Alfie, how can I possibly relax when my peers are out there striving? I cannot reconcile the fact that I have nothing to contribute; I feel utterly useless at this moment.""Hmm, Ethan, it is essential that you practice self-compassion. You have previously conveyed to me that life is filled with challenges, and you have also encouraged me to persevere regardless of the circumstances I encounter. I have heeded your counsel and am currently in a better place, so let go of the past and concentrate on your future. I firmly believe that God has significant plans for you," Alfie advised.Ethan nodded and inhaled deeply.Alfie then discreetly signalled to Angela, who approached Ethan to offer her guidance."My dear, it is imperative that you take it easy on yourself; your life does not culminate here.

    as I was not vigilant and ignored your advice about exercising caution with Steven. Look at the situation it has led me to; had I known is the brother of Mr. Late," Ethan lamented. "Calm down, my love. Such is life, and you cannot alter what has already transpired; rather, you must learn from it and exercise caution in the future. Alfie was indeed correct in his note when he stated that you require rest and a soothing massage. So, lie down and allow me to massage you; by the time I finish, you will feel much better," Angela instructed. Ethan smiled, and as Angela began to massage him, he soon drifted off to sleep. Ethan slumbered soundly until evening, remaining asleep when Alfie returned. "Indeed, he must have received an exceptional massage from my massage team," Alfie remarked to himself, before gently patting Ethan, which roused him from his slumber. "Woah, Alfie, you're back! Welcome," Ethan exclaimed. "Yes, I have returned. Thank you," Alfie expressed his gratitude. "When

    Although Steven anticipated the bank manager's regret, he was taken aback by his admission. The unexpected display of contrition brought him a sense of satisfaction, prompting him to say, "Thank you very much, sir; I truly appreciate it." "Is there anything else you wish to discuss?" the bank manager inquires. "Absolutely not, sir," Steven replies. "In that case, you may take your leave," the bank manager instructs. Steven exits the bank manager's office with a smile. "Hmm, did he just express guilt? How intriguing; he possesses a heart, yet he remains unwilling to promote me. We shall see how this unfolds," Steven muses to himself. Conversely, the massage team arrived, it consisted of one female and one male member. Regrettably, only the female, Cassandra, attended, and she knocked on the door. "Knock! knock!" Cassandra announced. "Yes, who is it?" Ethan inquired. "My name is Cassandra, and I am here to provide a massage for Sir Ethan," Cassandra replied. "Oh, it i

    deserved more than just an insult,” Alfie recounted. “I suspected as much; given her response to me, I could tell she had bad manners. I was beginning to wonder how you became involved with such an ill-mannered individual without anyone, including me, your best friend, being aware of it,” Ethan stated. “I have repeatedly asked her to keep her distance from me, yet I have no idea why she continues to stalk me. Well, I am grateful you did not disclose my whereabouts to her. By the way, did you eventually visit Harper's place?” Alfie inquired. “No, I did not feel well enough to go out again, so I opted to rest. However, I will make that trip tomorrow after you have gone to work,” Ethan declared. “Very well, thank you. I shall see you later. I must quickly have my lunch so that I can rest, as I have had a particularly exhausting day at work,” Alfie remarked while eating. Ethan spent the night contemplating why the woman named Vera had regarded him with such disdain, as if he were des

    to divulge his secret to facilitate your promotion?" "I genuinely do not know, but I will continue to press the matter; I am not one to give up easily," Steven replied. "It will be alright," Susan reassured him. Meanwhile, Ethan reflected, "So, after all that Steven has put me through, he still has the audacity to call and inquire about my promotion secrets, expecting me to assist in his promotions." Ethan then went downstairs and informed Alfie that Steven had once again contacted him regarding any secrets pertaining to his promotion. "Why does he persist in posing such absurd questions to you?" Alfie asked. "Honestly, I have no idea what leads him to believe I possess any secret. This marks the second time he has asked such an infuriating question," Ethan replied. "Are you certain he is managing well at work?" Alfie inquired. "Not particularly. He mentioned encountering difficulties with the bank manager, as the manager promoted a junior colleague in his stead. He confronted

    Steven remained silent, his breathing heavy. He clenched his jaw and restrained his right hand with his left, suppressing the urge to strike the manager, as he was overwhelmed with the desire to confront him physically. "Leave my office this instant, before I lose my temper. I do not wish to continue this conversation," the bank manager insisted. Taking a deep breath, Steven departed from the bank manager's office, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips. "Let us see how he copes with the knowledge that he unjustly sacked an innocent individual without conducting a thorough investigation, all in the name of preventing a loss of business. Foolish manager," Steven reflected to himself. Upon returning to his office, he pondered, "I cannot comprehend the situation; it has been three months since Ethan was sacked, and I remain in my previous position, while someone less deserving has been promoted. Despite the bank manager's animosity towards me, I must still convince Ethan to reveal h

    that your girlfriend Angela confided in you about her spy,” Harper elucidated.“What are you suggesting?” Ethan asked.“Please do not misunderstand me; I am merely suggesting that the individual responsible for that video of you and Jessica is acquainted with both your girlfriend Angela and Jessica,” Harper reasoned.“Remarkable,” Ethan replied.“It could be anyone or one of her friends; perhaps she was attempting to cover for her, which is why she claimed to have hired someone to spy on you,” Harper hypothesised.“I find myself at a loss for words,” Ethan admitted.“I understand; you ought to be. I was equally speechless the day I realised that Mirabel/Jessica, or whatever name she chooses to use, was not genuine. Thankfully, you did not succumb to her deceptions,” Harper expressed.“What else do you know about her?” Ethan inquired.“Rumours suggest that people employ her to carry out illicit activities for a fee,” Harper stated.Alfie interjected, “Forgive me, but why do you still h

    a potential partner. I have nothing of substance to offer her," Ethan explained. Alfie then cleared his throat and stated, "To be candid, Ethan, I concur with your perspective. A relationship devoid of financial stability is likely to wither over time, unless one's partner possesses a deep-seated belief in them and a strong conviction that they will eventually recover." "Regardless, as I mentioned earlier, I do not trust her, and I am uncertain who sent her my way; thus, I shall refrain from pursuing any relationship with her," Ethan declared. During their conversation, Harper was absentmindedly stroking his beard before interjecting, "Ethan, this Jessica took you to her apartment, did she not?" "Yes, she did. I mentioned that earlier, but why do you ask?" Ethan retorted. "What was her apartment like?" Harper inquired further. "Her apartment was truly stunning and filled with many luxurious items. At a certain point, I felt overwhelmed by its opulence, yet I had to leave," Ethan

    not yet aware that I have discovered he was the one who framed me,” Ethan replied. Alfie appeared perplexed. “I am not clear on this; have you ever been kidnapped?” Alfie questioned. “Haha, no, that is not what I meant. What I intended to convey is that her narrative mirrored mine in terms of being framed. She recounted her story in such a way as to persuade me to reveal that I had identified who framed me, but I did not succumb to her ploy,” Ethan chuckled as he explained. “It is prudent to exercise caution in your interactions with others, as you cannot be certain who may be opposed to you or who might be plotting something sinister,” Alfie advised. “Certainly, since I uncovered the identity of my adversary, I have been exceedingly wary of how I engage with others,” Ethan acknowledged. “That is wise. By the way, have you heard from Harper since his last visit?” Alfie inquired. “Not particularly. I intend to call him later or perhaps visit him around noon,” Ethan replied. As
