Charlotte blinked, her expression betraying a faint, forced innocence, yet her voice remained soft. For a moment, Ethan even felt as if she was deliberately teasing him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWeren\u2019t you ready to call the police the second you saw me last night?\u201d Ethan leaned lazily close to her lips, his tone playful, teasing. \u201cCharlotte\u2026 what exactly are you up to?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026\u201d Charlotte shrank back slightly, but Ethan cupped her face firmly in his hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tall frame pressed an invisible weight on her, his warm breath grazing her ear. \u201cOr\u2026 could it be that last night, when I was completely drunk\u2026 I did something to you\u2026 something you can\u2019t forget?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say that!\u201d Charlotte\u2019s ears flushed red. She slammed her hands against his chest. \u201cI\u2019m just returning the favor from last time\u2026 after this meal, we\u2019re square.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice grew smaller with each word, and her eyes flickered nervously, avoiding his gaze. Even Charlotte herself knew the excuse sounded flimsy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan studied her silently, as if trying to read her mind. Yet, he hadn\u2019t expected her to come closer to him willingly. His mood today wasn\u2019t great, and this girl just happened to be the perfect distraction. He was curious to see what she was really up to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He chose a Japanese restaurant not far from Morrison Group. The chef was well-known, the restaurant private, but the prices were astronomical-one meal could easily cost half of Charlotte\u2019s monthly salary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t mind at all, letting Ethan make all the decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During their private dinner, Charlotte kept sneaking glances at him. Ethan noticed, and after a while, he suddenly asked, \u201cAm I really that good-looking?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte\u2019s thoughts snapped back, and she immediately lowered her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her remain silent, Ethan frowned. \u201cI\u2019m asking you. Look at me-do you think I\u2019m good-looking?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just thinking,\u201d Charlotte replied lightly, trying to deflect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t ask about your thoughts. I asked if I\u2019m good-looking.\u201d Ethan\u2019s lips twitched with a faint smile, the light from the window casting sharp shadows across his defined cheekbones, making him strikingly handsome.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet, despite his looks, he wasn\u2019t exactly her type, Charlotte wasn\u2019t obsessed with handsome faces; she preferred someone upright and principled, like\u2026 Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan carried an almost sinister charm, his eyes sharp with scheming even when he smiled-not the demeanor of a good man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a pause, Charlotte finally nodded. \u201cEthan\u2026 you\u2019re\u2026 pretty good-looking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hesitated, her tone forced, lacking any pretense. Her reluctant praise stung more than outright insult.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan\u2019s face paled slightly, and the food in front of him suddenly lost its appeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEnough. Why exactly are we having this meal? Is this about Khloe?\u201d He wiped his hands with a wet wipe. Though they\u2019d ordered a full table, he barely touched the food-he had no appetite, and Charlotte was paying\u00a0<\/p>\n
anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you\u2026 it\u2019s a thank-you meal.\u201d Charlotte\u2019s voice wavered slightly, testing him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re thanking me? I\u2019m not drunk today, you know?\u201d Ethan let out a light laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could respond, he continued, explaining that he was temporarily away from Morrison Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company is fair. To avoid any misunderstanding or trouble with you, I\u2019m on temporary leave with a minor record. You don\u2019t have to worry about me doing anything to you or Khloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
