Well, I might as well remind you, I've been awarded a new position." Darth smirked stroking his chin.Ethan's expression turned sour as he shot back, "You weren't awarded, you pushed your way there. So what does that have to do with my question?" he asked losing his patience."It's a business conference, isn't it? I think I have the right to be here just as you are" Darth replied flashing a wicked grin.Ethan looked slightly confused as he retorted, "You're no businessman, you don't even own a company." But Darth's grin only grew as he countered, "Are you so sure about that?" he asked and Ethan shook his head in annoyance, why was he even wasting his time having a conversation with this man, he turned around and began to walk away. But as he walked off, Darth's parting words hung in the air like a

"It's fine, I will try out more hospitals around and see if it's possible to get treated around here " She suggested."I won't let you do that, just travel outside the country and get treated, I want you to get better as soon as possible" Mel insisted, even though she knew it would be difficult to be separated from Maya by distance for a while she knew it was something that needed to be done if at all she wanted Maya's recovery.

Mel looked the most confused as he was the least person she expected to save her from Leah's beration."You permitted her? Leah asked In disbelieve."Yes I did, any problem with that?"

She followed behind him hoping that it would not be another series of blame.Immediately she walked into his office, she began to apologize "Sir I'm really sorry, I had to...""You escorted Maya to the airport right?" He asked and she nodded thankful that he understood her reason for coming late, but how did he know though?."It's fine for you to do that for your friend but you need to at least

He couldn't shake off the tension he felt when he caught her, and the look in her eyes as they stared at each other was etched in his mind.His phone soon rang, interrupting his thoughts. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Lisa; she was one of the people he had come into contact with during his time abroad. He picked up the call and put it on speaker as he continued to drive."Hello," Ethan said in his usual cold tone, and Lisa's voice came through on the other end."Hey, Ethan! I just arrived in the country. Can you come pick me up from the airport?

Her surprise grew, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension. Was this just a friendly gesture, or was there something more to it? As Liam approached their table, she tried to read his expression for any clues, but he was smiling in his usual affable manner. Nevertheless, Mel couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was off. Meanwhile, Ethan observed Mel's reaction with interest, trying to decipher what was going on. He too noticed Liam's unusual accessory and wondered what it meant. As Liam greeted them and took a seat, Ethan couldn't resist asking, "So, Liam, what's with the flowers?" Liam chuckled and replied, "Just a small surprise for Mel; I heard she's been doing amazing work lately, and to congratulate her on anchoring the new shoe project," Liam said while grinning and observing Mel."With all this knowledge, you're probably now supervising the shoe department and not our dear clothes anymore." Ethan joked, and they all laughed."Well, I have to be

The shirt top he had on was the same type of uniform worn by the employees of the pizza company she often ordered from. She relaxed a bit and opened the door, still holding the bat behind her back."Good day, ma'am," the man greeted, lifting the box of pizza. "Here's for you." He spoke flashing a small smile "Me?" Mel wondered if she heard right. She couldn't remember placing an order. "I didn't order this," she answered, eyeing the man suspiciously.The pizza man nodded. "That's true. Someone placed the order on your behalf," he replied and kept quiet for a minute, making Mel bring up different guesses but none of them matched the answer."It's the CEO, President Ethan," the pizza guy informed, and Mel felt a little bang in her heart. Was this man sure of what he was saying? Why would someone like Ethan just wake up one day and decide to order her a pizza? It sounded strange to her, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not. "Alright, thanks," she said, nodding her head and t

Lisa sat in her apartment, staring at her phone for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. It had been three days since she arrived in the country, and still, there was no call from Ethan. She couldn't understand why he wouldn't reach out to her after all these years when she finally came to live at Jenovia.With a heavy sigh, Lisa stood up and picked up her car keys from the table. She had had enough of waiting around for Ethan to reach out to her. She made her way out of the apartment and walked towards her car. As she drove towards LIM, her mind raced with thoughts of Ethan. When they first met in the past, he had always acted distant but he wasn't heartless, so she had managed to find a way to relate with him.

Coincidentally, her family had to relocate to Jenovia due to her father's new political position. She had hoped that being in the

Ethan sat in his office, his gaze was fixed on the computer screen before him. A news article had caught his attention, and he was reading it intently. The headline read "Government to Evaluate LIM, Says Minister of Land." A frown etched itself onto Ethan's face as he studied the article. Darth's recent silence had made him uneasy, and now he realized the reason for it.Ethan picked up his phone and was just about to dial his assistant's number when there came a knock at his door. He gave his permission to enter, and his assistant walked in, wearing an expression that suggested he had important news to share. However, Ethan wasn't ready to listen to what it was just yet.

As night descended, the office grew dimmer, and Ethan remained seated at his desk with his gaze fixed on the computer screen in front of him. Twelve long hours had passed since he had arrived at work, and his mind began to wander. Despite having attended numerous meetings and responding to all his pending emails, he found himself distracted, unable to shake off the weight of his thoughts. He sifted through papers he didn't have to read, trying to avoid thinking about the situation at hand. Checking the time, he realized it was already past 10 pm. and he needed to leave, as Butler William would worry if he stayed any longer. Ethan grabbed his suitcase, ready to call it a day.Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang. Jace was calling back with some information he had found. Ethan listened closely as Jace explained what he had uncovered so far. Although there were only a few clues, Ethan felt relieved to have some progress in the case. Jace promised to keep digging and complete the

Ethan sat across Jace in a coffee shop, his expression serious as he listened to Jace's report."I found something boss" Jace said, leaning forward. "I've been tracking Darth's phone calls and I noticed he's been talking to this one guy a lot. So I did some digging and found out he's a godfather in politics.Ethan furrowed his eyebrows giving a questioning look "What kind of relationship do they have?" he asked."I don't know for sure, but I have reason to believe that Darth's been working with him for years. He definitely bought his way into been declared minister of land Jace said.Ethan leaned back in his seat, deep in thought. " I knew there was something fishy about his sudden political promotion. If what you're saying is true, it could serve as the leverage we need. "If we can expose his bribery, it could bring him down." Ethan asserted and Jace nodded in agreement. "I'm putting together a file with all the evidence we have, I will make further investigations to finalise it and
