The car stopped at their villa and Ethan went out and held Aviana's hand as the latter also stepped out of the car. "So, what did you talk about with my father? Did he harass you?" asked Ethan, and his eyes were filled with concern for his woman. While he was driving earlier, he noticed that Aviana was awfully quiet and it was unlike her. He often stole glances at her and she was staring outside the car window all the time, and her mind seemed to have been preoccupied with something. He tried talking to her on several occasions to get her attention, but she didn't respond to him because she didn't seem to hear him at all. He could only sigh in return, and let her be. He knew his father must have told her something unpleasant. Something that made her face to look all gloomy, and he could not help but wonder what it was. He didn't want to ask her either, because she would only lie to him. However, he could not hold onto his worries anymore, so he took the opportunity to ask her when th
"Dear, how did the dinner with Ethan's family go? Did they treat you well? Did they bully you? Uh, my child?" Joana asked as she closed the door after Aviana who had just walked in. She had the worried look of a mother on her face. She followed Aviana who went straight to the dining room. Joana took a sit close to her and waited patiently for Aviana to say something, atleast. She had been worried sick all day for her daughter. She was worried that his parents would not accept her and might look down on her due to her poor background. She couldn't help it, because she knew how cruel their world could be. Though, it wasn't always cruel. But more often than not, in the high society, the rich people stepped on the poor people without batting an eyelid. They didn't care if they hurt the latter's feelings at all. As much as possible, Joana wanted her daughter to get an ordinary partner, one who would fit in their class, and not someone who belonged to the high society, way out of their le
Aviana jumped on the bed, immediately. She did not feel like sleeping at all, especially now that she had a hard task ahead of her. She could not sleep knowing that Ethan's father didn't like her. She had to think and find ways to win his heart over. Thinking about Ethan, she wondered if he had reached to his house already? She picked up her phone and contemplated whether she should call or text him. She heard that it was kinda fun when texting with your boyfriend, so she went with the latter. [Tab] Aviana: "Did you get to your house already?" Ethan just walked out of the bathroom. His shirtless chest was dripping with water, his lower body covered with a towel only. He was busy drying his wet hair with another towel when his phone that was placed on the bed, vibrated. He picked it up. A smile crept on his face when he saw that it was a text from Aviana. [Double tab] Ethan:Yes, hon. Do you miss me already?"[Tab] Aviana: Wait….before you start over thinking, I'm only doing my job
Ethan couldn't stop smiling to himself, especially when he recalled Aviana's last words before she left him unattended. Her sexy smile still lingered in his head. He walked back to the mansion and decided to go to his room and take a cold shower, first. Later, he would start making plans, though he had no idea where he should start from because he didn't know anything about the romance thing. He wanted to make it a memorable night for Aviana, so, starting as early as now wasn't a bad idea at all. He aped up the stairs but stopped mid-way when he saw Auntie Garcia who was still doing her cleaning in the kitchen. He called out to her, "Auntie Garcia," to which she responded by walking out of the kitchen and looked up at him, waiting patiently on him to give his instructions to her. However, Ethan remained silent. So, she asked, "Do you need something, sir?" Ethan thought about asking her for ideas, but he was a bit reluctant. She was older, so she must know little about romance. Ho
Aviana woke up on Monday morning and got ready to go the office. "Sis, aren't you forgetting something here?" Hayden who was sitting at the dining table asked when he saw that Aviana was about to leave the table. Aviana checked her bag as she murmured, "My phone is here, my lip balm is intact, my hair brush….Nop, I don't think there is anything I'm forgetting, Hayden? See you later." Then she turned to leave. Hayden sighed deeply, "Are you seriously forgetting about my money? The thirty bucks you owe me?" He was finding it difficult to believe that she actually forgot. "Ooh, I actually forgot," exclaimed Aviana while she dipped her hand into the bag. Then she handed over to him the thirty bucks. "What are you gonna do with the money? I really hope you're not planning to buy sweets with the whole money. I don't need to remind you that eating too much sweets isn't healthy for your teeth, Hayden. If you eat too much sugar, your teeth will start decaying, and then I'll be forced to
"I'm going out for coffee with Scarlet–" Aviana stopped through her words when she noticed Ethan quickly hide something on his back. She frowned instantly. She asked while she stared at him, suspiciously, "Ethan, what did you just hide on your back?" Ethan said casually, "Nothing. Going out with Scarlet? Okay, take care of yourself. Be sure to come back early because I'm taking you to lunch." "Ethan, don't try to change the topic here. I saw you hide something on your back as soon as I walked in," insisted Aviana. She walked closer to his desk. "And, I said it's nothing. Aren't you going out with Scarlet, hurry up and go, you don't keep your guest waiting," Ethan said to her. "Scarlet can wait, but this can't. I want to know what it is you are hiding on your back. So, are you going to tell me, or should I take it out myself," she said sternly and walked to his side. Ethan sighed, "Did you see anything?" "No, I didn't see anything. That's why–" "Exactly. You didn't see any
"I wouldn't agree to them being together." It took a while before Aviana finally recollected herself after the deep state of shock she had been thrown into a while ago. Aviana had deep folds displayed on her face. She stuttered, "W-why?""Because, she is just his PA, which means she's from a poor background. Most of the time, women from poor families get into a relationship with the young lads of the high society not because they are in love with them, but because they are in love with the material things the man will offer to them. They are simply social climbers," Scarlet casually said. Aviana furrowed her brow as she listened to Scarlet. Her coffee that was untouched was already becoming cold. "If it happens the man experiences some crisis and he ends up losing everything, this woman will leave him without a second thought. The man will be left heartbroken. Also, the woman will not think twice about leaving him for another man who is more richer than the latter. Besides, intima
"You can't go in, sir." Ethan heard the heated commotion outside his door. The book fell to the ground as he tried to hide it when the door to his office suddenly opened and Alex walked inside with Devin rushing to stop him though it was already too late, since he was already inside. "I tried to stop him but he insisted on meeting you–" "It's okay, Devin. Go back to your post," Ethan instructed to which Devin bowed slightly and left the room. Then he turned to look at Alex and asked indifferently, "Why are you here?" He picked up the book that fell on the floor and placed it back on the desk. He didn't try to hide it anymore because Alex already saw it. "Dude, are you–are you reading what I'm thinking it is!?" Alex's eyes were fixated on the book as he asked, extremely shocked. He didn't seem to hear Ethan's question, so Ethan ended up asking again. "Why are you here, Alex?" "Well, I'm here because of some business dealings. Also, I wanted to see you, so I thought I should pass
