Taking the lead, she took a particular route, leading Ethan to where the detective is.Ethan follows Alice through the maze of hallways, trying to keep his panic under control. When they finally reach the room where the detective is waiting, Ethan feels like his heart is about to pound out of his chest. He takes a deep breath and opens the door. Inside, he sees a woman in a business suit, her face serious. "Mr. Watson?" she asks, her voice confident and professional. "Yes, I'm Ethan Watson." he says, trying to sound composed.A chair was pulled out for him by Alice and taking his seat quite hesitantly, he faced the detective. "What do you say went wrong? Seems like on her part, she misheard you." He said, his eyes flickering over to Alice for a few second before looking back a
Uncanny Affair With My Boss 68
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. Inside, she finds a small wooden box, its surface intricately carved with beautiful designs. She opens the box and gasps. Inside, there's a note and a small golden key. "What does it say?" 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?" Jason asks, his eyes lighting up with excitement."Let's go find it!" he says, grabbing Giselle's hand and pulling her toward
Uncanny Affair With My Boss 71
It's getting late in the evening, and Giselle knows she should head back to her apartment. But before she leaves, she needs to check on Shane, who is still being watched by her neighbor. So, she says her goodbyes to Xander and Jessie, then heads out the door. No doubt, she misses her son so much. As she walks through the park, she feels a sense of peace. The sun is setting, and the sky is a beautiful shade of pink and purple. The birds are chirping, and the air is filled with the scent of flowers.Giselle walks further through the park, lost in thought about her time with Ethan and his kid, she suddenly hears footsteps behind her. At first, she thinks it's just someone else walking through the park, but then the footsteps get closer, and she begins to feel a little uneasy. She starts to walk a little faster, trying to put some distance between herself and the person behind her. But the footsteps only get louder and faster, and soon she can hear them right behind her.Giselle's heart
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. "It's getting late," she said, her voice sounding falsely cheerful even to her own ears. "I should probably get going." 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
Uncanny Affair With My Boss 73
Ethan was so surprised and it made him feel good that Giselle was way better at cards than even he was, even though he was the one who suggested that they play.They had gone four rounds already and it was seemingly impossible for him to beat her even only once and it made him look like he did not know how to play at all.“You know that all your winning has only been by chance, right?” He said playfully to her, trying to make her not feel on top of the world too much even though she had been doing well.They both knew that she was doing so well, already and it was getting boring to him, even though he was still trying to get challenged to win her even if it was only once.When he had almost won once, she devised another means to winning him and it was at that point that he knew she was an expert at the game.It was not enough that she was beating him at it, but the fact that she did it with so much ease and patience even when he struggled at doing all he did made him wonder.Giselle w
Uncanny Affair With My Boss 74
They lay together on the bed and Giselle is trying to warm Ethan up with the way she rubs her legs with him, and they both go quiet as if lost in the thoughts of what to do next.“Why did you want me to babysit you? Do you need so much care?” Giselle asked him, not being the type to keep quiet and not say anything for so long.He smiled and answered her as sweetly and softly as he could, ”Because I always want to have you around me, Giselle.” With that, he pulled her closer and tighter and she enjoyed it so well that she could not even argue or fight it with him.“Me too” she said softly, not seeing any need to hide how she was feeling from him and used her free hand to take away the rest of the cards off of the bed to the floor as she looked her fingers in his.It was turning to one intense moment and the atmosphere had changed to one that was filled with genuine love, sincerity and a fragrance they both knew they could not get elsewhere.Now she knew what it meant to have someone w
