"It's nothing." Rosanna responded.

Ethan didn't just want to believe it was nothing but was strict on not letting any outside business take his time. On this same note, he still couldn't help but press the question further.

"Are you sure? You don't seem comfortable," he said, nonchalantly.

Rosanna adjusted a bit on the chair; her feelings for Ethan were still raw. It felt like he just pushed her away, and she could still go back to him.

"It was hard for them to accept, but I'm doing great now." She lied. Ethan could see through her, but before he could ask any further questions, he was interrupted by a text.

"Everything is ready for the meeting. He'd be expecting you by 9 am." Rosanna read the text as well and asked,

"Who's this meeting with?"

"A man you know." He responded.

"Eric would be my first guess but who goes to have a meeting with a man he plans to put out of business," Rosanna said and Ethan was quiet, he had a smirk on his face causing her to immediately snap at him,

    "I insist." Daniel said, but Rosanna still refused. "I can't get my drink myself....""I didn't say you can't," Daniel cut in.Rosanna gazed at him for a few seconds before giving in."Alright," she said."Great," Daniel said.Rosanna chose a drink, and within seconds, it was served."Danny..." A blonde-haired girl walked over to where they sat."Rose." He responded without turning to her."Why don't you take me over to your table today, and then we can have fun later?" She said, placing her hands on Daniel's shoulder,"Fuck off, Rose." He said, calmly. Rosanna almost chuckled because of how polite he sounded—his actions immediately reminded her of Ethan.He hardly raised his voice, yet he could hurt you with his words and still sound polite."Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" She asked."I'm sure," he responded.She gazed at Rosanna and glared at her before walking away. A few girls also walked towards Daniel, despite seeing him with another girl, but he dismissed them."I ha

    "You worry too much about unimportant things," Belen said and strolled to the coffee machine in the machine."If Ethan wants you to remain his baby mama, why hasn't he sent you back to the penthouse he got for you?" Belen asked."I don't know...""You're still naive, Rosanna. That's a pity..." Belen murmured before sipping from the coffee in his glass cup."About Daniel. The only thing you need to do is dress sexy and go with me tonight. Luckily, I know a spot he usually likes to hang out with his friends on Wednesdays..." He paused, shifting his gaze to Rosanna before asking,"Little cousin, tell me what day today is..."Rosanna reached for her phone next to the sink to check what day it was. "Wednesday...""Good. So dress sexy, and I'll pick you up tonight." He said before his glass of coffee.Still feeling skeptical about it, she said, "I'll think about it; I'm not certain I'd go yet.""It's your choice, Rosanna. I'm only trying to help you keep the things you have at the moment; y

    "You asked me to come over," Belen repeated, winking at Rosanna to play along.Deciding to help him, she laughed. "Oh... I forgot... I was really stressed yesterday," she said.Meanwhile, Ethan sat at the table, eating his food quietly. "I'm certain you made these noodles, Rosanna. The aroma is divine," Belen said, salivating."I remember when you used to make this at home," he added, still salivating."Yeah, and you would criticize it." "You and Grandma," Rosanna uttered, causing Belen's eyes to immediately widen as he stood upright. He didn't want Ethan to bar him from benefits he could receive because of how he used to treat Rosanna, so he tried to cover it up with a laugh."That was only because we wanted you to get better at cooking it, and I'm glad you did. If it wasn't for our criticism, if anything was too much, I'm sure the carrots would be more than the meat, but look how generous you were with the protein." He muttered, licking his lips.Ethan smirked, still eating; he reac

    Ethan threw his gaze from her face to his palm. "I don't want anyone to be worried about me, Rosanna; I'm fine." He said."You say you're fine, but you really don't look fine," she said, but Ethan was done with his conversation with her. If it was Cersei, he would have walked away, but he was trying to stay calm and to at least hear her out before leaving politely."That's not for you to decide. Let the doctor decide it. Besides, I'm fine, Rosanna. You're only overthinking for nothing," he said, getting to his feet.Rosanna subconsciously stepped back, feeling his intimidating aura again. "I have a flight to catch by 7am, and I really don't want to be late. I'll call you as soon as I arrive in the country."Rosanna was stunned; his words seemed like a bullet because travelling amid all this drama didn't really seem like a good idea."For real? And you're just informing me now?" Rosanna asked, watching her words, as she knew her place in his life.Ethan paused for a second and glanced

    "Midnight report?" Ethan asked, surprised as he quickly glanced at his time."Wow... Past 12..." He muttered,"What? Where are you?" Cersei asked, sensing he wasn't home."I'm at the office. "What did you see, and why are you watching US midnight news instead of watching French news? You could get some ideas from here on how to run the business in your hands," he said, rubbing his eyes.He took the coffee cup to the coffee machine in his office, but unfortunately, something was wrong with it, and he couldn't brew his coffee."Well, who knows if anyone else gets kidnapped and you decide not to tell me. US news will!" He informed."No one will get kidnapped, Cersei. I've got everything in control.""You've got everything in control, Ethan, and yet there's news about your divorce and how unfair it is to the Guardo family," Cersei said, furiously.Before she left the country, she wanted everything to be under control, and now, just after some days of her departure, there's a mess already

    "The case of my ex-wife?" Ethan murmured, wondering why the press has decided to pick up the matter now. He knew something was up but decided not to ponder on it for long, as it was not his priority."Alright," he said and dismissed her. The day went by very quickly; Ethan was so buried in the many files he had to sign that he didn't pay attention to the time.A few minutes before closing hours, there was a knock on Ethan's door. The door opened, and his secretary walked in. Hesitating, she said, "Sir... Miss Dana is here to see you." Ethan paused, a smile slowly spreading across his lips as he realized, "So this is Dana's doing," he murmured.He hadn't thought much about the whole paparazzi drama because he had important things to handle and most definitely did not want to entangle himself with anything."Should I send her in, sir?" His secretary asked, waiting for a response.Letting out a long sigh, Ethan glanced at his time and said, "Yes.""Okay, sir."In less than 30 seconds,
