Stella took his threat seriously. She trembled so badly that her knees nearly gave out, and she could barely keep herself standing, let alone shove him away.
Ethan looked very pleased with her reaction.
All it took was one casual threat, and she no longer dared to fight him. Ethan found that deeply satisfying.
After they left Ryan's company, Stella thought Ethan would shove her into the car and take her straight back to his apartment.
Instead, he pulled out his phone as if he genuinely meant it and asked Noah Bennett to look up the best local restaurants in Northwood.
Noah was efficient. Within a few minutes, he sent over six or seven popular restaurants known for local specialties.
Ethan held the phone in front of Stella. "Have you been to any of these? Which one is actually good?"
