“If you find it inconvenient to give me an update, Dr. Preston, then never mind. Ethan is an adult. Whatever happens to him isn’t the concern of a young secretary.”

Mia Carter couldn’t even remember how many times Cole Preston had tried to test her like this.

She hung up immediately.

Cole’s face stiffened as he looked down at his phone.

Suddenly, an empty beer can flew through the air and clipped him in the head. A few drops of leftover liquid splashed out, staining his white dress shirt.

He looked at Ethan Hale with a sheepish expression.

“Why so much nonsense?” Ethan’s face was dark and oppressive. “Send her a message. Tell her I’m perfectly fine.”

*Perfectly fine? Cole thought. “The man who ran out to the bridge in the middle of the night to sit in the sea breeze and called me to deliver alcohol is ‘perfectly fine’?*

Cole saw through it but didn’t say it. He sat down beside him. “Your wedding with Chloe is only a month away.”

Ethan’s brow furrowed. “I don’t need you to remind me.”

Cole cracked open a can of beer and tapped it against Ethan’s glass. “Don’t mention it.”

Ethan threw his head back and drank, a drop of clear liquid sliding down the corner of his mouth. It traced a path along his sharp jawline, making him look even more intensely masculine.

‘Why did you suddenly let Mia jump ship?” Cole asked, curious.

Ethan replied, “She wanted to leave. Could I have stopped her?”

His words sounded indifferent and mocking, but they didn’t match his current state at all.

Cole didn’t call him out. He simply said, “You couldn’t have kept her even if you tried.”

‘Leave the alcohol and get out,” Ethan ordered, issuing an eviction notice.

This isn’t your house. I can sit here as long as I want.” Cole stretched his legs out against the jagged rocks. He straightened his clothes, which were being whipped around by the sea breeze, and glanced at Ethan’s open collar. Take care of yourself. If you get sick from the cold, no one’s going to pity you.”

Ethan’s brow tightened as he glared at him.

‘I mean, Chloe isn’t in Everett either. If you get sick, I don’t have time to look after you. I’m busy.” Cole seemed to remember something. “The Gallaghers have been looking for me these past two days.”

‘What do they want?” Ethan asked.

Cole shook his head. “I’ve been making excuses. I haven’t met them yet.”

‘Meet them. If they offer money, take it. Whether you actually do anything for them is another story.”

The Gallaghers likely had no idea Cole was one of Ethan’s people. If things ever came to light, Ethan would have

This kind of unethical stuff… I’m only doing it this once.” Cole pulled out his phone and messaged the Gallaghers, agreeing to a meeting.

Ethan shot him a look. “You’ve done plenty of things that were far less ethical.”

‘Ding.
