Ding!

The familiar system voice rang in Ethan's head once Mirabel was out of sight.

{Target; Mirabel}

{Emotional Connection Detected}

Ethan paused for a second. Then, his expression darkened. “What rubbish are you spouting?”

[Host has established a strong emotional connection with the target.]

“I did not!”

[Host provided employment.]

“So?”

[Host provided protection.]

“That was because she needed help!”

[Host allowed the target to call him Brother Ethan.]

Ethan wondered if the system had given up. Although he loved that his points had increased these past few days, the system was mistaking the help he rendered to Mirabel as emotional connection. He was only helping a seventeen-year-old girl who needed help. The mechanic sound echoed once more, [Emotional reaction detected from Host.][Emotion Points +20.]His jaw clenched. “You're doing this on purpose!" He ignored the sys

    Delta Logistics?Ethan was surprised that Mirabel would pick Delta Logistics. This was the Imperial Tower, famous and classy. Everyone wants to work here. Even when he was still broke and poor, he always had eyes for the Imperial Tower. And she had the opportunity to work in any of these companies, and she picked a company that is not half as famous as Imperial Tower. She was picking a thriving company, a company that won't pay her half of the salary Imperial Tower pays its staff. “Are you sure?" Ethan asked, “Delta Logistics was the company we went to yesterday. This is the Imperial Tower. Which did you say you would like to get employed in?" Again, Mirabel repeated her answer, “Delta Logistics." “Why?" Ethan was genuinely curious. She claimed she had a sick mother and a father who was in jail. She needed money to sort a lot of things out. He won't blame her or call her greedy if she chooses to work at Imperial Tower. Mirabel licked her dry lips before she began to explain, “My

    Dressed in a sky blue long-sleeved shirt and well-ironed black trousers, Ethan hurriedly walked into the meeting room with Henry and Mirabel running behind him. He had an emotionless expression on his face as he walked up to his seat and sat down. Everyone was already here, even with their busy and tight schedule, yet he made them wait. All this happened because of that shithead Harrison. After hearing the news of his sister's successful surgery, Harrison refused to allow Ethan to go with just one beer. “This calls for celebration!" He exclaimed. And the two drank to stupor. He blamed Harrison for bringing so many beers when he knew very well that he had a low tolerance for alcohol. What made Harrison the happiest was when he got the news that he had left Wendy's company. Harrison exclaimed that it was the best night of his life because of all the good news he had heard. He made Ethan drink so much that waking up this morning had been so difficult. Thanks to Mirabel, who kept ca

    The words that came out of Ethan's mouth made Harrison red in anger. He pointed his beer at Ethan as he shot up from his seat, “What nonsense are you spouting? My family knows that I like women. What do you mean they think I am gay?" The words rose from the depth of Harrison's heart. “How would they know you like women? You have always been with men; even your dog is a male. You have never brought a woman home, but you have brought two men at different times to your home." Smoke began to come out of Harrison's ear. He wanted to jump at Ethan and punch him. The only two guys he had brought home were Diego and Ethan, himself. He couldn't believe that Ethan would use that against him. He had only done that because he valued the friendship he had with the two guys. “If you do not want them thinking you are gay, do something that would make them surrender." Harrison paused. His face, which was as black as charcoal, began to rearrange. He sat back down on the couch and said,“Now you'

    “Are you fucking laughing at me?" Harrison wanted to smack Ethan on the head, but he couldn't. He turned red in anger as he pointed at Ethan,“Just you wait. Wait until someone does the same thing to you!" Ethan didn't care. He laughed at Harrison until his heart was content. Harrison didn't find it funny. He was seriously explaining his predicament to Ethan; he expected the man to come up with a solution. He was always the one who had the right solution to give.In college, there were three brothers. Ethan was the smart one, Diego was the fighter, and he was the one bringing peace and unity amongst the brothers. Well, that's what he thinks he does. Now, Diego had long gone into the military and was out of reach. But they believed that their bond was still alive. As for Ethan and Harrison, they remained in touch and in the same area. Although Ethan was in the Northwest of City D and Harrison was in the West, it wasn't completely far from each other. Harrison didn't stop pouring out

    The day ended in a twinkle of an eye. Ethan dropped Mirabel off at her home before heading home himself. He bought takeout for himself and Harrison on his way home. His day at Delta Logistics had been so busy that if Mirabel had not brought something for him to eat, he wouldn't have had lunch. He didn't expect his employees who had just gotten positions to really come with their well-detailed reports. And because he wanted to know how the company was doing, he had to read it all. Every report he picked gave him a headache. Human resources stated that they needed to hire at least 100 workers in two days. The operational department stated that they needed more hands in overseeing deliveries. Customer service’s report detailed the valid complaints of the customers. The marketing department stated the need for advertisement of their company for announcements and many other issues. The only department that didn't send in their report was the security department. Mr. Gabriel had only c
