All Chapters of Set Path: My Baby is the CEO's Son: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

After 20 minutes of waiting, the passengers from the plane finally disembarked. It felt strange for her to be holding a sign in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other, waiting for Ethan's fiancée. However, since it was her job, she couldn’t refuse. Among many people, one stood out. A tall, slim woman with short blonde hair. She seemed to be looking for someone in the crowd. Thinking that this was Eva Thompson, Rafaela Souza approached with the sign."Eva Thompson?" Rafaela Souza asked."Yes. Who are you?" the woman asked with some suspicion."My name is Rafaela Souza. I’m Mr. Ethan Smith’s secretary. I’ve been assigned to pick you up and take you home.""So, he didn’t come in person?" she asked, showing some disappointment."Unfortunately, he had a very important meeting and couldn’t reschedule, but he asked me to give you this." She handed the flowers to Eva."It’s so typical of Ethan to come up with excuses not to pick me up." She took the envelope from the bouquet, opened it

It was wrong to say that since she didn't like the idea of seeing Tácio again because she was afraid her feelings might return, especially now that she was pregnant by another man. But Ethan's indirect provocations made her nervous; it seemed like he always wanted to come out on top of the situation as if he were the big shot. Not that he wasn’t, but she had no feelings for him, so she should let him know that."So, your trip wasn't in vain?" he asked, adjusting himself in the chair."Of course not," she replied, laughing. "I really enjoyed going there; I even feel like it's a matter of fate.""Fate?" He laughed. "What nonsense.""Don’t you believe in it?" she questioned."I think it's a big waste of time, all that stuff," he replied."I don’t think so. Sometimes, I believe there are people who are destined for each other and end up meeting at the right time," her eyes sparkled as she said that, remembering Aurora and Oliver, who seemed destined for each other."Are you saying it was f

All her expectations were shattered when she saw Ethan's name on the screen.But what did he want at that hour? Wasn't he supposed to be with his fiancée?"Hello," she answered, suspiciously. But she found the silence on the other end of the line strange. "Mr. Smith, is everything alright?""Come pick me up," Ethan finally said. His voice sounded a bit slurred."Are you drunk?" she asked, confused."Does it seem that way?" he asked."I believe so, since you’re calling me.""Stop talking and come quickly, Rafaela," he repeated."Do you realize what time it is?" she asked."Of course, do you think I only use my phone for calls?" he responded. "I’m drunk and can't drive, so come quickly.""Why don't you call your driver?""It’s his day off.""Then take a taxi.""If you’re not at Paradise club in less than twenty minutes, don’t bother coming to work tomorrow." With that, he hung up the phone."What was that?" she wondered, still staring at her phone screen.She tried calling him back, but

Still uneasy from receiving an unexpected kiss from Ethan, she felt cornered when she saw his fiancée looking at her with a suspicious gaze."I came to bring him home since Mr. Smith was too drunk to drive.""Are you his secretary or his driver, by any chance?" Eva asked, with an unfriendly expression."Leave her alone, Eva," Ethan replied, inserting himself into the conversation, noticing that his fiancée's tone was escalating. "Don’t take your stress out on someone who’s not at fault.""Do you really think I’m stressed because of her?" She directed herself to Ethan. "How dare you leave me waiting at your parents' house? Have you forgotten who I am?""Let’s discuss this inside; Rafaela doesn’t need to witness your hysterical behavior."Rafaela watched the two arguing and didn’t say a single word. It was incredible how Ethan had composed himself immediately, not even seeming drunk anymore."Fine," Eva responded, composing herself and changing her facial expression. "Now that he’s home,

When she arrived at Ethan's apartment, Rafaela called to let him know she was there."I'm not ready yet, come up immediately," he said."No, thank you, I’ll wait for you in the car," she replied."That wasn’t a request," he said before hanging up on her."Ugh, I really hate this man!" she exclaimed nervously, hitting the steering wheel."What happened?" Kate asked, concerned."He rushed me, and he’s not even ready yet, and now he’s telling me to go up.""If I had known, I wouldn’t have come with you," she grumbled."Friend, wait for me here, I’ll be right back."Rafaela got out of the car, heading towards the elevator, pressing the button for the floor where Ethan lived. She was nervous; she didn’t know what he wanted, and after what happened yesterday, everything had become strange. She looked at herself in the elevator mirror, adjusting her white button-up shirt in the front, and ran her hand through her hair, pulling it out from behind her ear. She thought about the possibility of r
