EPISODE 4 — ETHAN RETURNS
Two days later, an important business meeting was scheduled.
The meeting room door opened.
I looked up.
My heart stopped.
Ethan.
My first love.
The boy who had rejected me.
He looked exactly as handsome as I remembered.
But something had changed.
I didn't feel the same way anymore.
Adam noticed him looking at me.
He didn't look happy.
After the meeting, Ethan approached me.
Ethan: "If I had known you'd become this beautiful, I wouldn't have rejected you."
I forced a smile.
Ethan: "Would you have dinner with me?"
Nora: "Sure. But let's go with everyone on Saturday."
I didn't want anyone thinking I was interested in Ethan.
And I certainly didn't want anyone thinking I was interested in Adam because he was rich.
The next morning, Adam arrived early.
He wanted to see me.
But when I saw his car, I stayed inside until Tia and Ava arrived.
Later, Adam called me into his office.
Adam: "Are you avoiding me?"
Nora: "No, Sir."
Adam: "Then why haven't you looked at me all morning?"
I didn't know how to answer.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Ethan walked in.
Ethan: "Sorry to interrupt."
Adam's expression hardened.
Ethan looked between us.
Ethan: "It seems I interrupted something."
Neither of us answered.
The tension in the room became unbearable.
