At first, Charis was stunned. She froze on the spot as her mind drifted, back in time, to her high school days.

When she was sixteen years old, she thought Ethan was a cold, emotionless young man who kept everything to himself, living in his own world. She yearned to see him smile.

Now that the dream had come true, it didn’t bring her any joy. Strangely, she felt depressed. Any woman would kill to see the smile on his handsome face. However, the doting look on his face and tender eyes broke Charis’s heart, because she knew it wasn’t for her, and it probably never would.

Charis blinked and returned to her senses. She quickly strutted toward Ethan and dropped the file before him, stealing a glance at his phone. Just then, new messages popped on the screen.

“Ethan, when will you come? I’m starving.”

“Be patient. I’ll be there soon,” Ethan replied.

Charis had never seen him behave this way before. She knew who Ethan was texting. After all, who else would he text other than Janet?

Jealousy reared its ugly head. Charis clutched the document in her hand. Ethan’s tenderness and the undisguised love and care in his eyes infuriated her. Her blood boiled with rage.
