Today Ethan was dressed in a formal, elegant suit. His black hair was combed to perfection, revealing his flawless face and accentuating his deep-set eyes that exuded a majestic aura every time he looked at others.

Unlike his usual slovenly self, Ethan looked mature and noble, as if he were a whole new person today.

Ethan stopped for a second, took off his double-buttoned vest, and draped it on his arm. He ruffled his black hair, letting a few strands fall between his thick eyebrows. “I have to accompany my boss to receive an important client today,” he said nonchalantly. “So I wore formal clothes. These are my friends. I asked them to help me when I received your call.”

Ethan had a meeting with his foreign partners today, so he had dressed extra formally. But since he had come in a hurry to Janet’s rescue, he didn’t have the time to change.

Ethan’s so-called ‘friends’ were all trembling with fear. They nodded and bowed respectfully before Janet.

“Hello! Nice to meet you!”

“Our buddy here always praises you. He thinks the world of you.”

Everyone tried to play along. After all, it was a good opportunity to get a hike.

“Hello, everyone. Thank you for helping us. How about I treat you to dinner?” Janet’s face turned red.

She felt awkward to meet Ethan’s friends like this. After all, the slap mark was still visible on her face.

She stole a glance at Ethan, her eyes gleaming with admiration.
