"Of course I remember! It was as if I were in a dream! I never expected to see scenes like this in real life that I'd only seen in books. Even the cold, aloof Young Master Ethan came to the company today with a hickey. This demonstrates how much he adores his little girlfriend!"
"I'm so jealous."
The little girlfriend, Annetta, they were talking about heard all that they had said as she sat there on the sofa.
She blushed.
She had not expected Ethan to proudly display the hickey on his neck for all the company to see. This man was really...unscrupulous! He needed to pay attention to his own public image, at the very least!
What happened to the supposed aloofness?
What happened to the alienation from others?
Where was the unapproachability?
Why have they all disappeared?
Annetta did not notice a few receptionists looking at her and whispering amongst themselves. She was busy blushing and scolding herself for giving Ethan a hickey in the morning.
One of the employees walked towards her, bent down and said respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Miss White, Annetta White?"
Annetta raised her head, surprised that someone had recognized her. She nodded and said, "Yes."
"Oh," the receptionist said with extraordinary enthusiasm. "Are you looking for Young Master Ethan? He has already told me what to do. Please, come with me. This way!"
Annetta felt that there was a trace of relief in her enthusiasm. She did not know if it was just her imagination.
Of course not. The entire Harris Group was aware of Annetta because of Ethan's previous outburst. The receptionist who had refused to let Annetta see Ethan had been fired. As a result, the remaining receptionists, as well as any new ones who came in, were acutely aware of Annetta. They were afraid of losing their jobs if they offended her.
