章節 23: He is There
Bella was so excited now. She could not only make use of Michael but also hook up with the president of Grand Group.
She couldn't let Amelia lose her life. She would make good use of Michael to torment Amelia. Amelia had been the eldest daughter of the Harper family, and Bella wouldn't spare Amelia so easily.
"I had no idea if I can really work in Grand Group,"
Amelia murmured as she hung around in the villa. She was still thinking of the scene that Ethan hung up the phone and the words he said.
Looking around the villa, she couldn't calm down. She would observe Ethan closely tonight for sure. She was eager to know whom Ethan would talk to.
"No. That's too indecent.
But he is my husband.
He is only a nominal husband," Amelia struggled in her mind.
...
"What did you say, Mr. Frost? You want me to arrange a job for Ms. Amelia?" Mike widened his eyes and stared at Ethan.
Ethan specially warned him not to expose his identity in front of Amelia when Mike sent the car to Amelia last time. Why did Ethan suddenly change his mind?
"Yes, she will work in the company. Arrange me a director office, and you are my secretary. Send the documents to my new office from now on."
The president became the director.
That was way too...
But no one could change the decision made by Ethan. Mike didn't ask the reason, because he was afraid he would be scolded.
"What about Ms. Amelia?"
"Arrange a director office for her. Tell her this position is badly short of talent, and make the interview simple. Do you know what I mean?"
Mike nodded. Grand Group didn't hire a director easily. Amelia wasn't that qualified to be the director. From what Ethan said, he had made up his mind to let Amelia work in the company.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Frost. I'll do as you said,"
Mike stood beside Ethan respectfully.
Ethan glanced at Mike, "Do I need to stress the confidentiality of the thing?"
Ethan said in a strong tone.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Frost."
...
It was late. The crescent moon hung in the sky, revealing the chill light.
"Why hasn't he come back?"
Amelia looked outside, but she still hadn't seen the trace of Ethan's car.
"He doesn't even give me a call," Amelia muttered.
She held the phone in her hand and had a look at it from time to time. But she still didn't receive the call from Ethan. She was in a bad mood.
"How about I call him? What should I say?
I'd better not.
It's not weird to ask him if he will come back for dinner," Amelia thought.
But...
She strolled up and down in the house and finally made up her mind.
"Hello? What's the matter?"
Ethan picked it up when he saw it was from Amelia.
Amelia heard carefully the sound from the other side of the phone. She wanted to find out where Ethan was. But she heard nothing.
"I want to ask if you'll come back for dinner."
"I forgot to tell you I'm not going back for dinner. Haven't you eaten? I'll order some food for you."
"Where are you now?"
"Chinchol Manor,"
Ethan blurted out. He didn't try to hide it from Amelia.
"When will you..."
The phone was hung up before Amelia finished her words.
Amelia looked at the screen and sighed. How could Ethan hang up the phone before her words finished? She went back to the bedroom and turned on the TV.
Half an hour later, the knock came to Amelia's ears.
She hurriedly came up to open the door.
"It's you?"
"Ms. Amelia, Ethan asked me to send this to you,"
Mike put the dishes on the table. Amelia wondered what he was doing. She looked at the dishes and found they were all the specialty dishes of the Chinchol Manor.
"Ethan has a business dinner, so..."
"Business dinner..."
Amelia thought Ethan was a small clerk, but she didn't expect he was a director.
"It's about your company?"
Amelia looked at Mike in confusion, hoping to find out something.
When Mike came here, Ethan had reminded him not to say anything wrong.
"Ms. Amelia, please enjoy your dinner. I have to go back to the company. We are having a staff banquet today."
After Mike left, Amelia finished her dinner alone. The whole house was so quiet that she could only hear her own breath and the sound from the clock.
"Why hasn't he come back yet? Isn't it just a normal dinner?"
Amelia stood up and looked at the leftovers on the table. Although she had known Ethan was having the staff banquet, she still felt uneasy because of the words "I'll talk to you at night" this morning.
"How about I drive there to have a look? If he is really at Chinchol Manor, I'll come back," thought Amelia.
Then she took the key and went to the parking lot. She drove fast on the way to Chinchol Manor.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I curious about what he is doing?"
Amelia muttered as she drove. She was already on the halfway, so she just went ahead.
She finally reached Chinchol Manor. Standing in front of the gate, her legs were weak. "What should I say? Should I say I just pay a visit to make sure he is here? No. It's better not to let him know. I just want to make sure he is here," Amelia thought in her mind.
She parked the car and saw Ethan's car was there. It made her feel a little relieved.
"It seems he is here. But... if he stays here with colleagues, or he dates other women?"
Amelia walked into Chinchol Manor step by step.
She looked for room by room, but she didn't find anything.
When she approached the last room on the second floor, she saw Mike push open the door. Amelia followed him curiously. Amelia saw clearly the man sitting in the room through the gap.
It was Ethan. He sat there with a faint smile, looking gentle. A girl sat beside him. It seemed they were talking about something.
Amelia felt the view of the girl's back was familiar. Had she ever seen the girl somewhere?
Amelia couldn't help clenching her fingers. Ethan never talked with anyone so gently. He seldom smiled at others.
