“It’s just so weird. How can a person disappear without a trace just like that?” Janet had been pondering the matter for so long, but she still couldn’t figure it out.

Her elbows were propped on the table, her dainty little chin resting on the tent of her fingers. She pursed her lips and squinted at the distance as she thought of every possible explanation for her savior’s disappearance.

Ethan emerged from the kitchen with the tableware. He couldn’t help but chuckle at the tiny furrow between her brows and the slight pucker of her lips.

“Think about it carefully. Maybe you forgot something, or missed some details.” He set their places on the table. His cooking skills had significantly improved these last few weeks, and tonight, he had volunteered to cook dinner for them two.

“Oh, please.” Janet shot Ethan a glare. “There’s no way I would forget anything about the person who saved my life.” And then something occurred to her. “Ethan! You can help me find her, right?”

Ethan paused. He couldn’t let Janet know the existence of this bodyguard, no matter what.

He stalled by picking up Janet’s fork and handing it to her. Although the indoor heating was on, it was still a little cold. Ethan was wearing a cream turtleneck sweater and lounge pants. He looked cozy and relaxed, with just a hint of his usual debonair elegance. “All right,” he finally said. “I’ll have my friends make some inquiries for you.”

Ethan wasn’t planning to do that, of course. He only said it to get her to drop the matter, and then a few days later, he would tell Janet that they had no leads about her savior’s whereabouts.
