ETHAN Getting to the room, I fell limply into bed and closed my eyes. My breathing soon became steady. The day had been truly long and stressful. I felt weak both mentally and physically. After dragging my body to a proper position in bed, I forced my eyes open and picked up my phone. I'd already forgotten what I intended to do today because of the issue with Vesper and Nick. I yawned lazily as I propped my body against the bed board and began operating on my phone. In no time, I began scrolling through the investment page with total concentration. In my past life, I hadn't invested in anything and had only relied on the investments my parents made in my name. Not like I had any reason to invest, though. But despite not being interested in making extra money, I still paid attention to some investments Vesper made back then. While wondering why he was struggling so hard,

ETHAN The thought was on my mind even as I closed my eyes to sleep. It weighed heavily on my mind. I tried hard to remember how we met and the things we'd done together. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a reason for him to hate me this much. We've fought several times in the past. From trivial situations to normal friends' bickering. But every time, we ended up sorting things out and becoming friends again. Thinking about those small fights, we both had faults. He was either at fault or I was. Also, none of those issues were enough to warrant hatred. They weren't. Perhaps he was just too greedy. But I honestly couldn't believe that was the only reason...My eyes grew heavier as I yawned repeatedly. My mind grew foggy, and I slowly became too lazy to think about Nick or even anyone else. Closing my eyes, I let out a deep breath and slowly sank into the sweet embrace of sleep. Not long after, I heard the door opening, and then someone was sleeping beside me

ETHANOnly when I got inside did I remember that it was my first time coming to the office in this new life. In my past life, I had visited Leander in the office several times for different reasons. But in this life, I hadn't. I recently married his son, and before marriage, we weren't exactly that close. Even if we were, I wouldn't visit him in the office without a proper reason. After going through different stops, I finally sat in the assistant's office, waiting for him to finish his meeting. His assistant only glanced at me once before he continued with his job. He didn't know me well enough to let me into the boss's office. He also didn't want to disturb the boss's meeting. I could only sit there patiently, waiting for Leander to be done. An hour passed. Two hours. Three hours. My butt began to ache. I raised my head to look at the assistant, who was still working away. "Excuse me, when will he be done?" It was taking too long. The assistant coughed awkwardly. He picked

ETHANMy butt grew hot on Leander's lap. Embarrassment crept to my cheeks, turning them red and burning. My eyes wavered. Leander's eyes remained narrowed, his emotions unreadable, and his hand on my waist tightened. "What are you doing?" His voice was etched with warning. My chest heaved, on the verge of an explosion. Forcing myself to look back into those profound and unreadable eyes, my fingers curled, and my stomach lurched. I swallowed an imaginary lump in my throat and forced a smile. However, I had no idea what I really felt inwardly. I was wrong. Leander didn't love me...The realization should make me happy, right?"I was testing the ground. We are doing something deeper tomorrow, aren't we?" I tried to sound as composed as I could. "By the way, we've also done it yesterday. Why are you so rigid?" With that, I stood up, laughed awkwardly, and began arranging my suit. Leander was silent. With my back turned to him, I had no idea what his expression was or what was g

ETHANAfter Nick finished the audition, the room quietened, and without wasting Nick's time, the producer decided to speak up. He gestured for him to get off the stage while ordering that no one was to enter the room for a while. Nick's face lit up. He stepped down the stage really quickly, winking at me. He walked toward the producer and the director. The director raised the script, opening it to the second page. The thick paper made a rustling sound in the room, and for a moment, my eyes stayed glued to it. Yes, this would be my first-ever active attack in this life. However, it wasn't enough. It was merely the beginning. Nick's lips trembled as he also stared at the script. The director cleared his throat. "Mr Nick, right?" Nick nodded frantically. Losing his cool was a rare sight, even for me as his close friend. "Yes. Yes. I'm Nick. Teacher, please, go on."I felt the urge to laugh out loud. Who calls their director a teacher? Well, perhaps that was the way of the entertai
