RankNovel"Evelyn, let's go," Ethan whispered softly in my ear. His tone was full of affection. "There's still so much we need to do, isn't there?" I nodded eagerly and flashed him my brightest smile. We bid goodbye to the guests and walked hand in hand out of the venue.
Not far away, a luxury car awaited us. Ethan, ever the gentleman, opened the door for me, and I sank into the soft leather seats.
My heart was racing with excitement. Everything that happened tonight felt surreal, as though I were in a dream. Suddenly, Ethan chuckled. "Starting tomorrow, we'll begin preparations for establishing the Lendora branch and start thinking about the thfor next season's designs." I nodded eagerly. "No problem, leave it to me. I won't let you down!" The car sped through the night. The glowing lights of the bustling city slowly faded as we drove on. I could barely contain my excitement as I watched the ever-changing scenery outside the window.

"Mr. Grayson, where are we going?" I asked curiously.
He smiled. "You don't know? We're going to scout locations for the Lendora branch." "What? So soon?" I exclaimed. My eyes widened with surprise. "We're starting already?" "Well, it's quite late. We'll restomorrow," he said, chuckling at my reaction.
He took my hand and said tenderly, "Don't worry, I've already informed my assistant to prepare your luggage and documents. Besides, what could you possibly want that I can't fulfill for you? Don't overthink it... You're my lead designer, so I have to take good care of you, right?" I blushed at his teasing and gave him an exasperated look. Honestly, Ethan had a way of taking charge of everything without saying a word. He madefeel like a spoiled child every time.
"I do trust your arrangements, Mr. Grayson," I said, pouting. "I just feel like you're spoilingtoo much. Isn't that a bit excessive for an employee?" As I spoke, he subtly reached for my hand again. His fingers brushed my skin, sending a warm shiver through me.
Startled, I jolted and quickly pulled my hand away. "I know. I'm not trying to be ungrateful..." I murmured. "Alright, since you're so unwilling, consider this trip to Lendora as a favor I owe you," Ethan teased. "You need to think carefully about how I can repay you for this favor.
Q.UMS "What... what favor?" I blurted, my eyes widening in embarrassment. "I'm not that petty! Stop joking around, Mr. Grayson!" He burst into laughter. "Alright, I'll admit my defeat." He raised his hands in playful surrender, yet his eyes gleamed with amusement.

The atmosphere in the car becsubtly charged, and I could feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment.
The car sped along the road, and I lost track of time. Just as I was m about to drift off to sleep, I felt the En. seat besidedip. Groggily, I opened my eyes and met Ethan's deep, affectionate gaze. He looked attenderly, gently brushing the hair from my forehead before adjusting my coat collar.
