Ethan eagerly opened the door to his office, and saw Clara standing in front of the French windows.
He quickly walked up to her and hugged her from behind, kissing her neck as he murmured elatedly, "My darling, you finally ca to see .
You want to tell everyone about our relationship now, right?" When they started dating, their behavior changed drastically.
In the past, Clara had been the clingy one, while Ethan was always uncommitted and vague.
He had always been reluctant to officially make her his girlfriend, but now, he was the one who wanted to announce it to the world.
He had beco the clingy one in the relationship, and always wanted to hug and kiss her.
However, Clara was concerned about her work, and requested a secret relationship instead.
"I don’t understand why we can’t expose our relationship.
You’re not a celebrity, so it won’t affect your career, right?" He complained while hugging her.
"I’m not a celebrity, but your ex-girlfriend is.
You don’t know how horrible her fans are.
If we expose our relationship now.
I’ll beco the howrecker that ruined your relationship with her.
They’ll give a hard ti, and my career has just begun, so I don’t want to risk it," Clara explained rationally.
Ethan had doted on Shirley for the past few years, so whenever any female celebrities or strears flirted with him, Shirley’s fans would attack them online until they suffered a social death.
Clara had not achieved much in the past, but recently, she had established a small dia company specializing in brand marketing.
If her reputation was ruined, she would be dood.
Ethan insisted stubbornly, ’So? I can support you even if your career is ruined.
You could also co work here, and I’ll turn you into a star.
You’ll get a lot of fans by then and they can fight for you.
You don’t have to be scared anymore." "Do you want another case like Shirley?" Clara scoffed.
"No, thank you.
I can fend for myself." "Heh, I do love your independence.
Co here, love... Let kiss you." Ethan’s heart flooded with affection for the woman in front of him, and he lifted her chin to kiss her.
To his confusion, Clara blocked him awkwardly and pointed at the back." Umm... Soone’s here." Joanna had just co back from the washroom, and had been forced to watch their PDA.
Nonetheless, she was sincerely happy for Clara.
There had been many obstacles in Ethan and Clara’s path, but they had finally beco a couple.
"Ugh, I saw nothing.
I can even leave if you guys want, so please carry on."
Joanna covered her face and turned away, looking embarrassed.
Ethan scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Joanna, you’re here.
Why didn’t you say anything? I didn’t realize...." "It’s alright, it’s just Joan.
There’s no need to treat her like a guest.’ Clara walked up to Joanna and pulled her into the office, then said to Ethan," You’re aware of Quinton’s condition, right? Well, Joan and I ca here today to ask if you know any good plastic surgeons.
We want to help him treat his scar." "I see.
Well, you ca to the right person.
I do know a lot of good plastic surgeons, but... are you sure he’s willing?’’ Ethan looked troubled as he explained, "I introduced a good plastic surgeon to him before-one who’s operated on many celebrities.
It would have been easy for the surgeon to heal such a scar, but Quinton refused to go for surgery and argued with about it, so I didn’t dare to bring it up again." "Oh, now I rember.
You told that before but you didn’t update again after that.
I thought you were unwilling because of Ace, but I didn’t expect... it was because Quinton refused it." Joanna pursed her lips as she thought about it.
Clara wasn’t surprised when she heard that.
’Quinton’s a weird guy; maybe there’s a reason why he turned you down." After a brief pause, Joanna clenched her fists and said firmly, ’It’s fine. Introduce the man to him.
I’ll change his mind." "Sure, I’ll inform the surgeon.
This is his business card.
You can call and make an appointnt after you persuade Quinton." Ethan opened a drawer, took a business card out of it, then handed it to Joanna.
"Thank you." Joanna took the card and nodded, then left.
Clara, on the other hand, was forced to stay because of Ethan.
They sat on the sofa together as she intertwined her fingers with his.
She looked at him and asked softly, "Tell ... Do you think Ace and Joan can get back together?" "That’s... hard to say." Ethan could no longer comnt on his buddy’s love life.
"I once hoped they could, but now I think this may be the best solution for them both.
The feud between Quinton and Ace is too serious, and Sttefan can’t even rember Joanna.
How could he fall in love with her again?’ "It’s weird though... Why did he forget about her? It’s like he transferred all his love for Joan to Seraphina.
It’s so painful for Joan; I honestly don’t know how she survived the past two weeks." "It’s all because of Quinton’s cruelty.
If not for his sches, Ace wouldn’t have beco blind and almost lost his life.
Although he lost his mory, he’s healthy and can see again.
His relationship with Seraphina is considered steady too, and she truly loves him and is nice to him." Many things had happened, so Ethan’s impression of Quinton and Joanna changed.
"Don’t be mad.You know, if you didn’t co along, I might not have given Joanna that plastic surgeon’s contact.
I don’t approve of many things that Quinton did that made Ace suffer." Clara scowled when she heard that, and imdiately stood up.
’There’s a reason why Quinton did all those things.
If Ace hadn’t hurt Joan so much that year, Quinton wouldn’t have been so rciless.
It’s karma-nobody’s innocent!"
