But that's not the surprising part. The surprising part is that Giselle is sitting next to his son, helping him build something out of LEGOs. And she's wearing an old t-shirt and yoga pants, which is so different from the professional look she always has at work.Ethan is completely caught off guard by this sight.

Ethan suddenly sent his hand forth and stopped Giselle from moving any further. Opening the closet, an irritated grunt left his mouth when he found it void- with nothing in there. "I knew it. There's absolutely nothing wrong here." Giselle spoke up first, out of relieve. Turning around, she walked to the door and opening it, she ushered the little kid back inside. "You can now come inside." Giselle told him.As Giselle ushers the little boy back into the room, Ethan is left scratching his head in confusion. He was so sure that something weird was going on, and he doesn't understand why the door was so hard to open if the closet was empty. He looks around the room, trying to find any clues as to what could be causing the strange noises and the cold temperature. But nothing stands out to him. Giselle closes the closet door and turns to face Ethan. "Are you satisfied now? " she asks. Ethan shakes his head. And at that, Giselle chuckled, knowing he's obviously joking. "Well, am starvi

Ethan's face is inscrutable, and Giselle can't read his expression. Is he angry? Or is he just surprised? "Giselle." he says, his voice neutral. "What brings you here?" Giselle swallows hard, trying to get her nerves under control. "I wanted to talk to you," she says, her voice shaking. "I need to explain myself." Ethan raises an eyebrow. "What is there to explain?" he asks, his tone sharp.Giselle creased her palm over her forehead, obviously not knowing where exactly to start from. "I would have been home since but got lost on my way actually." She stammers as she tries to explain.Ethan's expression is unreadable as he listens to Giselle. "Lost?" he asks, his voice still neutral. "How did you get lost? It's not that hard to find your way home." Giselle feels her face grow warm with embarrassment. "I'm not sure," she says, her voice faltering. "I just...got turned around, I guess." She looks down at her feet."Giselle," says Ethan, his voice softening. "You know you can always com

Giselle swallows hard, trying to calm her nerves. "About what?" she asks, her voice shaky. "About us," the man says, moving closer to her. "You and me, we have a lot to talk about." Giselle takes a step back, her hands shaking. "I don't know what you're talking about," she says, her voice trembling. The man smiles, and it's not a friendly smile. "You know exactly what I'm talking about," he says, his voice cold."You know that night, when we were together," he says, taking another step toward her. "That night was special, and we need to talk about it." Giselle's stomach drops, and she feels like she might be sick. "I don't know what you're talking about," she says again, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're lying," the man says, his eyes narrowing. "I know you remember. I know you can't forget." Giselle feels like she's going to faint. "I don't want to talk about it," she says, her voice pleading.So, now that Giselle has made it clear that she doesn't want to talk to the m

Giselle opens the door and sees the mailman, his face beaming with excitement. "I have something for you!" he says, his voice full of glee. He holds out a package, and Giselle takes it from him. "Thank you so much!" she says, her voice trembling with anticipation. The mailman nods and gives her a knowing smile."You're very welcome," he says. "I hope it's everything you've been waiting for."Giselle can't wait any longer. She tears open the package, her hands shaking with excitement.

Jason asks, his eyes wide with wonder. Giselle reads the note out loud. "Congratulations! You've made it to the next step. Use the key to open the hidden door in the backyard.""A hidden door?"

Uncanny Affair With My Boss 72
Ethan slowly deepens the kiss, his hand sliding up to the back of Giselle's head. Giselle loses herself in the moment, the taste of his lips and the feel of his touch sending her senses into overdrive. She forgets about the world around them, about all the people who might be watching, about everything but the feel of his body pressed against hers. The kiss lasts an eternity, and then suddenly it's over. Ethan pulls back, his eyes searching her face. "I'm so sorry," he says, his voice hoarse. "I didn't mean to—" Giselle mustered a smile, though it felt false on her lips. She looked away from Ethan, trying to conceal the sting of rejection she felt.

Ethan looked surprised, but he didn't try to stop her as she turned and walked away. Giselle's heart sank as she made her way down the street, Ethan's rejection weighing heavily on her mind. Giselle woke up the nex
