Janet retumed home and invited Ethan to join the ball with her.

"A masquerade ball?" Ethan asked breathlessly.

Ethan was doing pushups on the balcony.He did a dozen more pushups before standing up.Then, he grabbed a bottle of water, gulped it down, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"When?" Janet raked her eyes across the chiseled muscles on his waist.

A blush flamed her cheeks, so she quickly averted her gaze and looked at the towering buildings in the distance.

"Saturday… Saturday night."

With a pensive look on his face, Ethan thought for a while.Then, he threw the empty bottle into the trashcan, walked over to Janet, and stroked her hair.

"I’m on night shift in the convenience store that day.I can pick you up after the party ends though."

That night, Ethan was going to attend the party as Brandon, so of course he couldn’t go with Janet as Ethan.Several veterans and big shots would be attending the party.It would be respectable only if Brandon Larson himself attended the party and received them.

"Can’t you trade your shift with someone else? All my colleagues will bring their partners along." Janet leaned against the glass door, blocking Ethan’s way.

Ethan’s response seemed to increase her suspicion.

"Then, I won’t go either.Everyone at the ball will have a partner. I’ll feel left out."
