After eating, Marilyn took Lorenzo to bed and tried caressing his back gently. "You don't have to say a single word, honey; just rest gently on the bed," she said, and Lorenzo slept off. After Lorenzo was asleep, Marilyn stood to her feet and walked in the direction of the bathroom. She was feeling a bit sweaty. After having a cold shower, she went back into the room and stared at Lorenzo for a few minutes before his phone beeped. She reached for his phone and unlocked it, going straight to his W******p. She immediately began to go through his texts. She went through Lorenzo's text with Dana, trying to see if there was any hidden relationship between them because she could not comprehend why Lorenzo no longer asks her to follow him to meetings. "What are you doing with my phone?" She suddenly heard Lorenzo's voice from the bed and her heart skipped. "I'm just going through a few things," she said, causing Lorenzo to climb down from the bed before briskly walking to her. He too

Meanwhile, the next day, Ethan left his room already dressed for a meeting.He got to the sitting room and caught sight of Cersei with a stack of papers."Where are you going this early?" Cersei asked, causing Ethan to furrow his brows, confused."Since when did you start asking so many questions?" He asked.Cerseu just rolled her eyes and leaned closer to him. "I think now is the time you need to be even more vigilant. I want us to get what we want, and you know how serious we need to get about that because all of what happened yesterday shouldn't be for nothing." She said,Ethan didn't bother to respond; he had a lot to do and wanted to start off as soon as possible.He got to his car and drove straight to Secret Company. For, like, 3 days, he hadn't been to the company.He got inside, and the first floor was almost empty because it was still very early.He got into the elevator, and it took him straight to the top floor. Ethan walked straight to his office; the desk his assistant o

Lilian sat up and waited for Belinda to walk into the office with the files she requested. After Belinda placed the file on the table, she asked sternly, "Do you need a coffee, ma'am?" "No, I don't. Thank you." Lilian said, dismissing her. As soon as she was outside the room, Ethan asked again, "What do you know about her, and for how long has she been working as your assistant?" "Her name is Belinda Jensen, and she's from a wealthy family. She's the second daughter of Mr. Jensen, and she's been working here for 3 months," Lilian informed, causing Ethan to furrow his brows, but before he could mutter a single word, Lilian continued, "She studied at Harvard and got her master's in business there as well, so you're questioning if she's put in for the job. Believe me, she's very capable. I love how everything is organized here with her," she paused. "Honestly, sir. I'd say you need someone like her with you in the office, but currently, I have no replacement for her, and I don't thi

"I can't send any of them. It has to be you because I believe you have the connections that I need," Ethan said, causing him to respond with a gentle nod. "I'll have to discuss it with my wife first, and I'll get back to you regarding the matter," Xavier said before checking his time."Is that all?" He asked, and Ethan just responded with a nod.After Xavier left the place, Ethan drank a glass of water and pushed his chair back before getting on his feet.He left Castle Black and headed straight to Lilian's mansion. Unfortunately, he was already running late.After about 20 minutes, Ethan arrived at Lilian's penthouse. He parked his car outside and elegantly got out of his car before slowly heading in the direction of the front door.Before he got there, Lilian opened the door, as if already being aware of his arrival."Welcome, sir. Mr. Guardo is here," she informed, causing Ethan to respond with a gentle nod."Where is he?" Ethan asked, taking a few steps into the house."Just come
