Emily paid no heed to Ethan’s glances and sat still, biding her time for his orders. 

Having spruced up his hair, Ethan found it was already six–thirty. 

Rising to his feet, he was promptly followed by Emily. 

During their departure, Emily’s eyes caught a faint hue on Ethan’s shirt. 

She recognized it as a foundation. 

Subtle as it was, it didn’t escape her notice. 

Her mind raced, and she suspected it was from Nancy’s kiss. 

By the roadside stood the car. Instinctively, Emily made for the 

backseat. 

But upon opening the door, she was greeted by a mountain of gift bags and boxes. 

Noticing her pause, Ethan approached and explained, “These are presents for Mr. Pitts. You’d better take the front seat.” 

Without a single word, Emily circled the car and plopped into 

the front.

Once parked, Ethan summoned the servants to unload the gifts. 

After that, he walked over to open the car door for Emily and offered his hand. 

However, Emily ignored it and got out on her own. She gracefully lifted her dress and sashayed toward the mansion in her heels. 

Ethan trailed behind. 

Just as they reached the entrance, Harvey Pitts, having been informed by the servant, emerged from the house. 

Spotting Ethan, he hastened forward, shook hands, and then offered a cigarette. 

After lighting it, Harvey beamed and said, “Ethan, you’re a sight for sore eyes! It’s been ages since you last graced my place.” 

Ethan smiled faintly, “You’re too polite, Mr. Pitts.” 

After a bit of small talk, Harvey finally noticed Emily. 

He recalled Matthew’s message saying Ethan would bring his wife. But still, he probed tentatively, “Ethan, this young lady is…” 

Before he could finish, Ethan jumped in. “Mr. Pitts, this is Emily, my…” 

He pointed at Emily as he spoke, but the stumbled when it Zame to her identity.

stepped up and said matter–of–factly, “I’m his secretary.” 

Harvey was visibly taken aback for an instant.

Since neither of them seemed keen on elaborating, Harvey didn’t pry further. 

Ethan was also a bit surprised by her answer. 

Before anyone could react, a brash male voice boomed from the entrance, “I’ve heard Mr. Wilson is a real big spender. Wonder if I could ask you for a little something?” 

Alexander’s car pulled up, and as he got out, he casually undid the buttons of his suit. 

He sauntered out of the shadows, his black suit open, hands in his pockets. With a swagger in his step, he exuded a carefree and alluring charm. 

Despite his reputation as a playboy, he was drop–dead gorgeous, his every move oozing charisma. 

Everyone at the entrance turned to look as he strode toward them. 

Alexander strode forward and halted in front of them. A warm smile graced his face as he addressed Harvey, “Hello, Mr. Pitts. It’s your big day today! Mind lending me your goodwill as a witness?” 

Even though Alexander had no physical gift in hand, Harvey Was well aware that a present had been d “vered earlier that7:02

more prestigious position than the Pitts Group. 

Harvey was itching to agree to Alexander’s proposal right away. However, being the astute businessman he was, he noticed that Alexander seemed to have his sights set on Ethan. And he was also well–informed about the long–standing feud between Lessing Holdings and the Wilson Group. 

So, Harvey smoothly dodged the request with a light–hearted chuckle. “Alexander, I’m an old fellow now. I’d rather stay out of you young guns‘ tussles.” 

Realizing Harvey’s awkward position, Ethan stepped up and said to Alexander, “Alright, Mr. Lessing. What’s on your mind? Spill it.” 

Emily lingered on the periphery, sensing that Alexander had an ulterior motive. But in this high–powered company, she didn’t dare to interject. 

Besides, she wasn’t certain if she was the target. 

So, she kept her lips sealed and closely observed the unfolding drama. 

Seeing Ethan’s straightforwardness, Alexander decided to cut to the chase. “Mr. Wilson, as you know, I’m a sucker for beautiful women. I can’t function without a daily dose of beauty. So, I’m hoping you’ll be a good sport and let this charming secretary of yours hang out with me for a bit.” 

Ethan couldn’t help but find Alexander’s words amusing. “Mr. tessing,

item in my possession?” 

Hearing this, Alexander arched an eyebrow, his eyes fixed on Emily. There was a flicker of surprise and appreciation in his gaze as he took in her elegant attire. He flashed her a quick smile. 

Then, he turned his attention back to Ethan. “Mr. Wilson, what I’m really asking for is a glimpse of this secretary’s beauty. You know what the experts say–men live longer when they’re around pretty ladies. Sure, we’ve had our business spats, but I’m sure you wouldn’t wish me an early grave, would you?”
