    252 The Woman in the Mercedes


    “It’s not like I need you bringing me food anyway,” he muttered under his breath, his voice tinged with irritation. He stared at the lunch box in his hand, debating whether to toss it straight into the trash. He lifted it up, then hesitated and set it down again. “Whatever,” he grumbled. “Ethan makes me eat at the cafeteria all the time. It can’t be any worse than that, right?”


    Unaware of his inner turmoil, Dawn had already headed upstairs, making her way directly to Ethan’s office. As she approached, two project managers were just stepping out, nodding respectfully. “Ms. Porter,” they greeted her politely.


    She returned a warm smile, waiting patiently until they left before entering the room. Ethan stood behind his desk, watching her approach slowly, her hands sped behind her back.


    “Hey,” Dawn said cheerfully, noticing he hadn’t moved. She waved her hand teasingly in front of his face. “I brought you lunch. Are you so touched you’re speechless?”


    He took her hand with an amused grin. “I’m surprised. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”


    Dawn shrugged yfully. “If I told you ahead of time, where’s the fun in that?”


    Holding up the lunch box, she added, “Look, I packed all your favorites.”


    “Are you sure about that?” Ethan teased.


    “Oh right, my favorites,” Dawnughed, handing over the lunch box as he led her by the hand to the coffee table.


    Ethan opened each container carefully, his voice rich and warm. “Well, that’s not far off. We do like pretty much the same things.”


    “Really?” Dawn’s eyes sparkled instantly.


    “How about I bring you lunch every day?” he suggested. “I’ve been less busy at worktely, so it’s perfect timing.” He nced at her thoughtfully, as if trying to make up for the disappointment of missing their honeymoon.


    When she trailed off, Ethan raised an eyebrow. “Perfect for what?”


    “Perfect for keeping an eye on you, to make sure you’re not fooling around with other women,” Dawn said, puffing out her cheeks in mock warning.


    “I can be really fierce, you know,” she added with a sly smile. “If I catch you getting too friendly with anyone else, just wait and see what I’ll do!”


    Ethan chuckled softly. “What are you talking about?”


    “Who knows with you,” she replied with a yful smirk.


    Dawn picked up her fork and popped a piece of pulled pork into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out adorably, making her face look round and full. “Everyone says you can’t trust any man. You’ve been good so far, but who knows if it’s all an act.”


    Her teasing words became more outrageous, and Ethan sighed, amused but helpless.


    “Hmm,” he said, “Then I guess I’ll have to trouble you to keep a close watch. I’ll dly ept that.”


    Dawn looked up at him and smiled quietly, saying nothing.


    After they finished lunch, Ethan intended to walk her back, but Tony interrupted to inform him of an international conference call starting soon. Ethan could only escort her to the elevator.


    “That’s fine. I’m not a child,” Dawn replied with a grin.


    Noticing Ethan’s disappointed expression, she nced around to make sure no one was nearby. Then, standing on tiptoes, she pressed a quick kiss to his lips.


    “I drove myself here. I’lle again tomorrow,” she said softly.


    “You…” Ethan began.


    “Hmm?” Dawn interrupted, already guessing what he was about to say. “We already agreed. No backing out. Alright, I’m leaving. Go get busy.”


    She waved goodbye and stepped into the elevator.


    Two secondster, Ethan turned with a frown.


    “What international conference call?”


    Tony’s face tightened awkwardly. “Boss, you forgot. Ourpany just signed a major project. Their representative ising this afternoon, and before that, we need to touch base with Meriax headquarters.”


    Ethan pressed his lips together, then strode purposefully toward the conference room.


    Downstairs, Dawn stepped out of the elevator. Sitting right across from her at the entrance was Micah. His posture had improved somewhat, though it was still far from perfect.


    The lunch box sat on the table beside him, the bag that had carried it lying on the floor.


    “Was it good?” Dawn asked casually.


    Micah’s body stiffened for a moment at her voice, but he quickly recovered, scoffing disdainfully. “It was just okay. Next time, tell them not to put garlic in it. I hate that stuff.”


    Dawn was at a loss for words.


    He ate it, yet now he was being picky?


    Sheughed in exasperation.


    As she ced the lunch box back into the bag, her eyes scanned Micah’s face. “Your back injury… is it okay?”


    The question seemed to irritate him immediately. He swung his legs off the chair. “Well? Do I look like I’m dying? Tch. Just go already. Don’t keep me from doing my job!”


    Dawn was taken aback.


    Wow. So fierce.


    Fine. I’ll leave then.


    As her graceful figure disappeared from view, Micah averted his gaze. Beneath his impatience, there was something else in his eyes, something unreadable.


    Before he could sit back down, two cars pulled up outside.


    The first to step out were bodyguards dressed in sharp suits.


    Then, the back door of a sleek Mercedes opened, and a fair-skinned woman with long legs stepped out. She wore ivory pointed-toe heels and slid on her sunsses with one hand. The aura of a wealthy heiress surrounded her.


    The impressive entourage drew attention as they arrived.


    When Micah caught a clear glimpse of the woman’s face, he chuckled with interest.


    She really came!


    Interesting!


    In those few seconds, the woman noticed him as well.


    Her eyes widened in surprise. She pushed her sunsses down in disbelief. “Micah? Oh my God! It’s really you. What are you doing here? And dressed like… this?”Conclusion
