Ethan Lu 소설 & 이야기

He was trying to keep things light, but there was something about his words that didn’t sit right. Before she could say anything else, Ethan appeared at the entrance of the lecture hall, leaning casually against the doorframe with his arms crossed. “Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite billionaire,” he said with a cheeky grin. Adrian’s expression flickered from guarded to relaxed, the smirk returning. “Ethan. What are you doing here?” Ethan pushed off the door and walked toward them. “Oh, just keeping tabs on you, of course.” He shot Lucia an amused look. “You know, making sure you don’t do anything too stupid.”

“Look who’s coming.” I followed his gaze. Luca Moretti...Ethan’s cousin. Owner of this club and several others. “Alexander,” Luca greeted, shaking my hand. “Luca.” “Long time.” “Work,” I replied. “And women,” Luca added with a smirk. “Say that to Ethan. He even brought one here.” “Shut up,” Ethan muttered. I smirked and excused myself to the bar. “A bottle of Macallan 30,” I said calmly.

He loved the change from his previous quick fix food to the foods he had been enjoying with Jayden. "So, if it isn't rude of me to ask...Luke is it strange for you to be with Wes? I mean with him being so much younger than you." Ethan bit his lip, not looking at the male as he spoke softly. Luke was clearly surprised by his question, glancing at Lily before he chuckled and shook his head.

"My name is Ethan. We're getting you out. Can you stand?" He stood immediately. "Yes," he said. His voice sounded like someone who had been told yes was not an available answer for a long time and had just remembered it was. Jade was harder. She was in the corner of her room, sitting on the floor with her back to the wall, and when I pushed the door open she pulled her knees up and looked at me with eyes that had been hurt in a way that had become defensive. "I don't know you," she said. "No. My name is Ethan." I crouched down. Not moving closer, just getting level. "I'm a Lure. I know what they've done here. I'm not doing that."

The door swung open in one smooth motion. Luca leaned against the frame, one hand braced above his head, the other casually in his pocket. He was barefoot, his hair slightly damp like he’d just stepped out of the shower. A loose, white T-shirt clung to the shape of his chest, and grey sweatpants hung low on his hips. His eyes swept over me once, slow and deliberate, before resting on mine with a smirk that made my pulse quicken. “You must be Ethan,” he said, his voice warm but threaded with something heavier. “Finally decided to come home.”

Meanwhile, Lucas didn't even bother to say hello, instead hiding behind Clara as if watching a show. I smiled generously and replied, "Sorry, this is a custom piece from Saint Laurent. It's not surprising that you've never seen it before." Laughter bubbled around us, and Clara's face soon turned red. She was about to retort when Ethan stepped forward and introduced himself. "Nice to meet you. I'm Ethan Hurrix." Ethan's last name seemed to catch Liam off guard. He hesitated but forced a handshake. "Liam Waltz." Ethan stood half a head taller, his presence clearly overpowering Liam. Combined with his prestigious surname, Liam's unease and irritation grew.

The computer screen came to life, and his face met me. The beautiful man who held my heart is looking straight back at me. Funny thing is, he doesn’t even realize it. Evan Giovanni Carter, CEO of Magnus Constructions, thirty-four years old, born on the 18th of October. Adopted by Dr. Jacob and Dra. Olivia Carter at the age of four. Harvard Alumni, with a degree in civil engineering. He started as a freelance contractor, the humble beginning of one of the most successful construction companies in New York City.

Lily said again. I didn't say anything until Noah's puppy-dog eyes swayed me. "Okay," I said softly. Lily squealed with delight while Noah smiled broadly. *** "So, I have two more passengers?" Ethan asked in disbelief. I could only grimace sympathetically. You could say Ethan was a real-life superhero. He had worked as Lucian's secretary, bodyguard, and driver all at the same time. He had even been my secretary and Lucian's at the same time, although now Lucian had a new secretary, his routine of picking me up on Lucian's orders hadn't changed.
