Sky-High Pampering Plan Of Her Destined Husband

Chapter 20

Ethan stopped in his tracks.

Janet's words infuriated him. He had specially asked Garrett to deal with the issue, and the man had laughed at him for that. But in the end, she thought her schoolmate had helped her.

Ethan sneered at her. "Christopher's family isn't powerful enough to influence the company's decision. What makes you think the Larson Group hired you because of him or whatever he had said?"

"Whoa! Calm down. How could you be so sure? Do you know the Larson Group well?" Ethan's remarks amused her. She looked up at him and saw the unhappiness on his face.

Her questions had rendered Ethan speechless. A frown lined his forehead -- he couldn't reveal more information. "I often hang out with people who work there so I know a thing or two about it," he said, trying to hide his disappointment. "You're a married woman. Even though we're only a nominal couple, you still have to maintain a distance from other men."

Ethan's possessiveness surprised her.

"Chris and I were schoolmates; now, we are colleagues. Our relationship won't go beyond that." Biting her rosy lower lip, Janet looked into Ethan's eyes. Thinking that he might misunderstand her dynamic with Christopher, she explained, "I just met him when I walked out to get some coffee. We just hung together for a while -- that's it."

















Looking down at her head, Ethan smiled and touched her silky hair. "All right. I see. Don't keep your head down. Look at the road."

Janet's flushed cheeks somehow made her look prettier.

The two walked to the bus stop. Janet fumbled inside her bag, looking for coins.

Ethan glanced at the rows of buses in front of him and asked, "Are we going home by bus?"
