In the evening, Ruby told Ethan about Gwen’s situation, unexpectedly Ethan straightforwardly said, "Of course not!"
Ruby was stunned, she didn’t expect such a strong reaction from him, so she tested him with a joking tone, "What are you afraid of? Do you have so unspeakable secret with Miss Yates?"
Ethan gave her a cold look, with a "Are you stupid" expression.
Ruby squinted, indulging in her own imagination, "Did I guess right?"
Ethan lowered his eyelids, flicked her forehead lightly, "I think you have a bad mory."
Rhonda’s matter had caused him a lot of trouble, which he naturally rembers, but he didn’t expect Ruby to be so indifferent. He then reconsidered that her indifference might be because she doesn’t care about him anymore, making him feel slightly bitter.
Ruby pressed her lips, still showing defiance on her face, but couldn’t help blaming herself for living too carefree lately.
Ethan raised his eyebrows, "Can’t your school let students stay during sumr break?"
As far as she knows, most universities usually allow so students to stay on campus, and so graduate and doctoral students can’t go ho during the sumr even if they want to and have to stay in the school.
Take a step back, if Gwen’s school is not good enough that students aren’t allowed to stay in the sumr, given her family background, would she really have nowhere to stay in Ariston?
He couldn’t understand, so he didn’t say much to Ruby, afraid she would unleash her wild imagination and put all sorts of accusations on him that he couldn’t defend.
Although Ruby knows Gwen’s family is quite wealthy, she didn’t think that far, and upon hearing Ethan ask, she tried to recall, "I think we can apply at our school, maybe to switch dorms or sothing, but I’ve graduated for so many years, who knows what the situation is like now, I just see the kids like her and don’t want the hassle to change teachers."
"I’ll arrange this." He said, hugging Ruby down, "Sleep."
Now he feels there are too many people at ho, if possible, he thinks having Gwen move in and himself taking Ruby out to live in a world of two would be the best.
"Um... No, no." Ruby struggled to sit up when she was about to lie down. "I have sothing else to tell you." Seeing him wanting to lie down listening, she was very unwilling and forcibly pulled him up.
Ethan laughed, "What’s so important?"
"I intend to create my own fragrance brand, starting with making perfu." Ruby said and ran down to bring the laptop up, opening it in front of Ethan, "This is a very rough plan but it covers all my ideas, I hope you take a good look at it."
Ethan raised his eyebrows, glancing over the plan briefly, indeed it was quite rough. Put more bluntly, if a subordinate handed him this, the person could go straight away.
However, just as Ruby said, this rough plan contains her vision for a fragrance empire.
Starting with perfus getting a footing in the market with her own fa then developing various fragrance products, including handmade soap, candles, and collaborating with major notable brands providing fragrance ingredient support.
Besides perfu, the other ideas are only conceptual, no need to be written in because they are long-term targets, basically only achievable after establishing a foundation, there’s a chance the company may not reach that point before cooling off.
As for the perfu section, Ethan viewed it as the main area, but Ruby only wrote about two directions, one is to create perfus at different price points for distinct consur groups, another is to create bespoke perfus for high-end custors.
Ethan was quite interested in the latter, "Perfu is different from clothes or jewelry, in my view, types are quite limited and slight differences may not be discernible by every woman, how to make bespoke?"
"Though everyone may make a like or dislike judgnt on a scent, surely there’s a scent that matches her feelings well, maybe soone just like would want a signature scent of her own?"
The bespoke idea had been brewing in her mind for a long ti, but she always wanted to save it for her own brand, thus she hadn’t ntioned it as the previous company never demanded such a thing.
Ethan closed the laptop, "Nice idea."
"Really?" Ruby felt anxious when she finished it earlier this afternoon, fearing Ethan would criticize it to the ground, she even prepared herself ntally, telling herself she must humbly accept criticism and admit it was her shortcoming.
Unexpectedly, he said "Not bad", these three words sounded like the highest praise to her.
Ethan nodded. This sentence was not said professionally, but encouragent as a husband to his wife, thus he nodded without hesitation.
Ruby’s eyes instantly glead brightly, excited she straddled him, "Invest so money in , or... recomnd to investors."
Ethan took a deep breath, eyeing her up and down, "This position...is to bribe or..."
Ruby’s face heated up, she tightly closed her eyes, giving him a kiss on the lips, "A little bribery is not impossible."
Suddenly Ethan exerted strength, flipping over to pin her down, looked into her eyes, and fiercely kissed her.
His patience has always been limited, but this woman tends to forget that! For a mont, Ethan plunged into the kiss like an uncontrollable beast, harshly capturing her taste, his body becoming uncontrollably hot.
Considering her injury, he dared not lean over completely, and when his hands lingered on her waist, he didn’t dare exert strength.
Until his breath beca rapidly ragged, he stopped, reluctantly retreating to one side, greedily breathing so cool air.
Ruby’s condition wasn’t much better than his, with cheeks blushing like a ripe fruit and heart pounding like a galloping horse, and as for her breathing rhythm, it had long since beco chaotic.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, not yet disentangled from the fervent embrace just now.
"How much do you need?" Ethan asked hoarsely after regaining his composure.
Ruby placed her hand on her heaving chest, tilted her head to look at him, "Well...there isn’t any money in my account."
"Empty-handed wolf?"
"With you here, I...will write an IOU first." As she said it, she tightly shut her eyes, thinking her words were shaless, almost like directly asking Ethan for money. Although her vision was wonderful, there’s much uncertainty whether it can co true.
She didn’t hear a response from Ethan for a while, tentatively asked, "Um...if the bribe isn’t enough, how about...adding more?"
Ethan tilted his head and glared at her, thinking she was intentionally torturing him. He rolled his eyes and after tucking her under the quilt, said, "Sleep."
"Is it possible or not?"
"Sleep!" Ethan turned off the lights.
Ruby pouted, only able to obediently fall silent.
In the dark, Ethan exhaled heavily, and then requested another gentle kiss on her lips, "This makes it enough."
Ruby bit her lower lip, not allowing herself to laugh out loud.
