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?"

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.

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

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

"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?

Moreover, we do not know where to begin." Charlotte was rendered speechless. Ethan promptly added, "Charlotte, Steven is correct; at this moment, I do not have any funds." Charlotte reassured him, "It is perfectly fine; do not concern yourself with that. I will take care of it for the sake of old times, and I will do it pro bono." Upon hearing this, Angela's mood shifted, and she cast an unfavourable glance at Ethan, which he noticed. "Charlotte, please do not worry about assisting me. Thank you," Ethan expressed his gratitude. Meanwhile, Steven was eager to learn about Ethan's secret regarding his promotions but felt it was not the appropriate moment to discuss it. He resolved to defer the conversation until their next meeting, even though he had not received a promotion at work since Ethan's dismissal, he felt content that Ethan was no longer a factor in the workplace. Angela remained silent. After a lengthy discussion with Ethan, Steven realised that he would not have the c

work with the Supreme Court," Charlotte replied. Steven was amused by Charlotte's transformation into a lawyer, recalling how unremarkable she had been during their high school years, often overlooked even by teachers. "Goodness, Charlotte, how did you achieve this? It is truly remarkable!" Steven exclaimed. "It is all thanks to God. I transferred to another school, which allowed me to focus on my studies. I left behind distractions that had hindered my academic progress, and I became quite studious. That is how I reached this point in my life," Charlotte elucidated. "That is splendid. Please provide me with your contact number so that I may reach out to you whenever I encounter a problem. From this moment on, you shall be my lawyer; however, I would like to observe your courtroom performance first," Steven stated. "That is not an issue. I am currently handling a high-profile case; perhaps you could attend and observe on Thursday," Charlotte suggested. "Certainly, I shall be ava

"Can you believe it? It has been a month since I orchestrated Ethan's dismissal, yet I am still in my previous position despite my hard work. The bank manager does not seem to notice my efforts, or perhaps I should say he dislikes me, as I am emulating everything Ethan used to do," Steven articulated. "That is unfortunate. What do you intend to do now?" Jane questioned. "I am uncertain; if I had a solution, I would not be calling you," Steven responded. "Calm yourself. Since you have stated that you are undertaking all the tasks Ethan performed that previously benefitted him, and it has not yielded the same results for you, I suggest you inquire with Ethan about his approach. He may be employing strategies of which you are unaware, and you might be overlooking something significant," Jane advised. "That would be challenging, dear sister," Steven replied. "Why do you say that? There is no harm in reaching out. You could either call Ethan or visit him if speaking over the phon

“You know I do not drink, and even if I did, it would not be to the extent of intoxication. She compelled me to do so; the thought of her seeking favour from me while I am now without purpose made me feel like she was looking for a chance to discard me. I must say, I now believe you; you were right about her from the beginning. All she wanted was my money, nothing more,” Ethan elaborated. “Ethan, please calm down. You are overreacting. We both know how much Angela cares for you. I believe you should answer her calls and allow her the opportunity to explain herself. Although I am quite upset with her, I recognise that your current state has clouded your judgement; this too shall pass,” Alfie reassured Ethan. “If only I could discover who has betrayed me, it might provide me with some solace. Even if I do not regain my job, I will ensure that I exact my revenge on the individual responsible, making them suffer more than I have,” Ethan lamented. “Come here, my friend. I can see you ne

and replied, “Ethan, please calm down.” Henry interjected, “Angela, who is this unemployed and odorous man?” Ethan was taken aback upon hearing Henry refer to him as unemployed. “So, Angela, you have been informing everyone that I am unemployed, have you?” Ethan asked, his anger evident. “And why would I do such a thing?” Angela retorted. Frustrated, Ethan pushed Henry, who, in turn, became irate and was about to retaliate when Angela intervened. “Henry! Stop it! Ethan, please leave; you have caused me enough embarrassment for today. I will speak with you later,” Angela instructed. Henry, clearly irritated, remarked, “Angela, when you are ready to tell me who this pig is, you know where to find me,” before storming out. “Since when did you begin to give me orders? You even had the audacity to disclose my personal circumstances to this fool. His mention of knowing where to find him, which implies that you have been seeing him behind my back. Is this truly how you conduct yourse

pulled Ethan back to safety. "Be careful!" Harper exclaimed as he dragged Ethan to the side of the road. Startled, Ethan began to breathe rapidly. Harper inquired, "What is troubling you so deeply that you would risk your life? Are you aware that you nearly got hit by a car?" Ethan lost his composure and collapsed into tears, akin to a child, seated on the ground. In his distress, he recounted to Harper how he had been framed and subsequently dismissed from his job. Though Harper was unfamiliar with Ethan, he felt a profound sense of compassion for him. "I am truly sorry to hear that you lost your job, but you must not consider taking such drastic measures. Your life is far more valuable than any position you have lost. If you were to die now, the job would continue, and the person responsible for your misfortune would be out there, enjoying themselves. You must gather your strength," Harper advised. "You truly do not understand. They have taken everything from me, leavi
