Ethan got up from his seat, making his way to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Ellea also got up and was about to put on her clothes.

Ethan, who had gone inside, suddenly opened the bathroom door, poking his head out.

"Jasmine! I want to see you in your work uniform. No need to wear last night's clothes!" he said and buried his head back inside.

Ethan was getting confused by his attitude. She shook her head. "Strange man!" she muttered to herself.

Ellea couldn't help but comply with his request. She was forced to wear her work clothes.

This morning Jolly prepared to head to Ethan's home address. Taking public transportation, Jolly was hopeful that she would start her first day of work with a bang.

"The first day of work should leave a good impression on the boss," she mused as she clasped her hands together in front of her chest. She was trying to encourage herself.

Jolly had arrived in front of the elite housing estate that she usually saw on television. In the past, the place where she lived with her second husband was also luxurious, but it was nothing compared to what she saw before her eyes today. She was amazed and mesmerized.

"Waawww! The wonderful house," she said still standing and chuckling.

A man who was the security guard came out from the guard post, approaching Jolly.

"Excuse me, ma'am. Can I help you?"

Jolly gasped. "Owh. This is the security guard. I'm going to Mr. Ethan's address." She quickly retrieved Ethan's business card that she had kept.

"Come here, sir." Jolly showed the address on the business card.

"Did you have a prior appointment?" the security guard asked.

"I did, sir. Yesterday."

The security guard didn't immediately believe her. Ethan was one of the important people who lived in the neighborhood. Of course, not just anyone could go in and out to see him. It was possible that the business card Jolly had obtained came from her discovery on the street.

"One moment, ma'am. I'll confirm inside first."

"Yes, sir."

The security guard went back inside. Seen from the outside, Jolly seemed to be watching. The security guard was talking to one of his colleagues inside the post. Not long after, the security guard made a phone call.

There was a sense of apprehension in her heart. She was afraid that the security guard would not believe her. After finishing the call, the security guard approached Jolly again.

"Let me take you inside, ma'am!" he said and walked ahead.

Jolly, feeling relieved, followed the security guard from behind.

Ethan came out of the bathroom in his boxers and t-shirt. He saw Ellea sitting on the sofa playing with her cell phone. Ethan had a small smile on the corner of his lips. Ellea suddenly looked at him.

"Heh, smiling to yourself. Must want to laugh at me huh? Isn't it funny what I'm wearing?" Ellea scolded. She was getting uncomfortable. While correcting her sitting position, she showed her smiling lips.

Ethan continued his walk, sat next to Ellea. She looked at the young girl, whose name was Jasmine. Ethan didn't know the real name of Jasmine is Ellea because Ellesa still keep in secret about it.

"You look like a kid when you wear work clothes like this."

"How can a child play with a man!" Ellea interrupted while stifling a giggle.

Suddenly Ethan's face turned pseudo-red.

"It's okay with you guys. I'm still young. I'm not even four!" said him, who did not accept it. His face now turned wry, refusing to even look at Ellea.

"My uncle, but handsome. Here, if you're gloomy like this, you'll be even more handsome, hehehe!" Ellea teased.

Ethan was still silent, Ellea continued to address him as uncle, causing an unexpected reaction from him.

Ethan looked at Ellea, then quickly tickled her waist. "Say it again! Let's say it again that I'm your uncle!"

"Uh, don't, for goodness sake. Hahaha, I'm ticklish, uncle Ethan, I'm ticklish!"

Ethan continued tickling until Ellea couldn't stand it and got up. The girl tried to run away. But before she could do so, Ethan quickly grabbed her arm and pulled hard enough for her to fall back onto the sofa. Ethan pulled her body closer, locking her body with both hands.

"Where are you going to run? Hahahaha! You can't! Hahaha!"

Ellea tried to rebel, but the strength of his hands was less than half the strength of her body.

Without realizing it, their faces drew closer to each other, their eyes staring into each other's.

Degh!

Ellea's chest suddenly rumbled. It was beating irregularly. Looking at Ethan's approaching eyeballs. This was the second time Ellea felt her chest beating this hard.

"Again! This chest! This feeling! Why is it coming back again!" she began to fume.

"Where are you going, huh? Can't escape! Hahaha!" Ethan's exclamation broke Ellea'a reverie. She realized that all of this was just a game. Ellea recalled Alex's words.

"You should never involve your feelings when you're working. Because you will be hurt alone. You know, the men who are your guests already have wives at home who are even more beautiful than you. They come to you just for entertainment. Because in the end, they will still go back to their real home, which is their wives."

Ethan's face was getting closer, and now both noses were touching. Ellea wanted to get away but she couldn't.

"Why do I like it. Why do I like being treated like this. Shiitttt!" Ellea's mind was full of turmoil.

Fuuuuhhh!

Instead of kissing or doing more. Leon just spurted his breath right into Ellea's eyes.

"Let's go home. I have to get back to work," Ethan exclaimed and then got up to move away from Ellea's face.

Ellea' sighed with relief. She almost thought this morning was going to be another battle.

"I'll walk you home!" said Ethan suddenly, ending with a smile and a calm look at Ellea.

"Huh? Take me home? No. That's weird. I can go home by myself. Besides, what will the neighbors say if they find out I'm going home early in the morning with a man in a luxury car like this? They'll think the wrong thing. I'll just take a motorcycle taxi," She refused.

"I'll take you anyway. You can't refuse! Want me to report it to Alex if you refuse?" Ethan threatened with a sly smile.

"What?" Ellea so confused.
