This time, however, she didn\u2019t argue back. She let him open the thermos, pour out a cup of dark, steaming tea, and frown at it in confusion. The comers of her lips lifted. She nodded and made a courteous gesture, inviting him to drink. Ethan narrowed his eyes at her. The unpleasant smell drifted up to his nose. He hesitated for a long moment, lips pressed together, before finally retreating. \u201cForget it. I\u2019ll drink it later.\u201d He poured the tea back into the thermos and screwed the lid shut. \u201cCome on.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll take you home.\u201d Ethan turned and locked the office door, speaking casually as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Charlotte looked coldly at his back, then softened her voice.\u201d You have the time to take me home now? | thought you were heading out.\u201d \u2014- \u201ct\u2019s on the way. Your place isn\u2019t far.\u201d Ethan chuckled, then paused. \u201cAfter | drop you off, I\u2019ll go take care of something else.\u201d Angela and the others hadn\u2019t arrived yet. Besides, someone was already on their way to receive them at the hotel. Giving Charlotte a ride wouldn\u2019t delay him. Charlotte didn\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the road, Ethan\u2019s phone lit up, but he didn\u2019t even glance at it, much less answer. Unable to hold back, Charlotte said, \u201cIf you\u2019re busy, you can just let me off nearby.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s fine. We\u2019re almost there.\u201d Ethan kept his eyes on the road. The glow of the streetlights washed over his sharp features, making him look unusually clean and restrained-cool and handsome rather than lecherous. But Charlotte had no interest in admiring his face. Her mind was busy calculating how to extract something useful from him to pass on to Khloe.<\/p>\n<p>With Khloe away from the office, they had to be even more vigilant against their enemies\u2019 moves. \u201cEthan, do you have an engagement tonight?\u201d \u2014- Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Charlotte finally took the initiative. Sure enough, Ethan glanced sideways at her. \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cAn important guest?\u201d Charlotte pointed at his coat. He had clearly changed into a fresh outfit, and the cologne-already faint before-was now overpowering. She had noticed long ago: whenever Ethan went to meet clients, his cologne was always especially strong. \u201cMore or less.\u201d Ethan drew a quiet breath.<\/p>\n<p>From the corner of his eye, a faint smile appeared. He was unusually taciturn tonight. Normally, if Charlotte asked a couple of questions, he would find some excuse to tease her. She clenched her fists and fell silent. When the car stopped at a traffic light, Ethan rested his elbow against the window. He glanced outside and saw her reflection in the glass-head lowered, as if deep in calculation. Soon, the light turned green. After one more intersection, they \u2014- would reach Charlotte\u2019s neighborhood. But just then, Ethan suddenly turned the wheel Charlotte froze. \u201cEthan\u2026<\/p>\n<p>this isn\u2019t the right direction.\u201d \u201c| just remembered | forgot to pick something up.\u201d His voice remained calm, but the car\u2019s speed noticeably increased. Unease surged through Charlotte. She sat up straight at once. \u201d Then just let me off here. | can go back on my own.\u201d \u201cNo. | said I\u2019d take you home.\u201d Ethan gave a soft snort. \u201cDon\u2019t rush. It won\u2019t take long.\u201d \u201cEthan\u2026\u201d Charlotte\u2019s voice turned cold. He ignored her completely and stepped harder on the gas. The car shot forward. Instinctively, Charlotte reached for the door handle-but it was already locked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEthan, what are you trying to do?\u201d \u201cKeep me company for a while. I\u2019ll take you back later.\u201d Ethan didn\u2019t even look at her. To him, her panic and struggle were strangely amusing. Charlotte took a deep breath. \u201cEthan, didn\u2019t we agree we \u2014- wouldn\u2019t play these games? Aren\u2019t you afraid I\u2019ll tell Khloe what you\u2019re doing to me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
