“Ethan, do you need something?”

“Move.” Ethan’s thin lips parted, the two words carrying a heavy weight of authority.

Lila swallowed hard and muttered an “Oh,” opening the door.

The room was decorated entirely in light pink-a cute style that clashed violently with Ethan’s mature, stern

presence.

He walked in with a frown and sat on the sofa at the foot of the bed. “Explain yourself. What’s going on with you skipping work?”

‘Didn’t Grandma tell you?” Lila asked.

‘I want to hear it from you.” Ethan sat with his legs crossed, hands folded naturally in front of him.

He idly rubbed his thumb against his finger, looking solemn.

Lila frowned. “The department supervisor wants to date me. I rejected him, so he started trying to sabotage my career. Ethan, can you transfer me to a different department?”

She hadn’t dared to tell Grandma Hale. If she had, the old woman would have marched to the office with a knife

o make the supervisor look in a mirror and see what a creep he was. Then her identity would be exposed, and she till wanted to play “undercover” at the company for another two years.

I understand.”

Ethan avoided giving a direct answer. “Once I’ve handled him, you can go back to work.”

Lila’s eyes lit up. “It’s good to have a backer! When are you going to handle it? Can I go back tomorrow?”

Don’t be in such a hurry.” Ethan paused. “You haven’t had a good rest since you started working. Stay home and play for a couple of days.”

Mia has applied for a transfer and will be leaving in a couple of days. Find some time to go see her.”

Ethan’s words were loaded with intent.

Lila had already heard the news. “I’ve wanted to ask Mia out for a while, but I was afraid of causing trouble for

you.”

‘What trouble would you cause me?” Ethan countered.

“The Bennett family, obviously. If they find out I’m hanging out with Mia, they’ll definitely be unhappy again.”

Lately, Chloe had been messaging her constantly, trying to get on her good side. But Chloe was so obviously motivated by an agenda that Lila couldn’t bring herself to be friendly. Yesterday, Chloe had even asked why Lila was so good to Mia but couldn’t be the same with her.

“There’s nothing to be unhappy about,” Ethan signaled to her. “Do whatever you want.”

Lila immediately grabbed her phone and started messaging Mia. “Really? Then I’ll invite her now. A new roasted fish place just opened at the mall. She loves fish; I’ll take her to try it.”

Ethan nodded and stood up to leave.

At the door, he stopped and added, “If you notice anything unusual about her, tell me immediately.”

Lila didn’t catch the hidden meaning. She waved him off. “Got it, got it. Just go already.”
