259 A Delivery for Ethan
Ethan’s warm breath hovered close to her car window, sending a ticklish sensation that Dawn found impossible to ignore. She squirmed andughed, trying to evade the teasing. “Stop it! I’ve got things to do today. We really need to get up.”
But the more she protested, the more amused Ethan seemed to be. His lips continued their yful assault, nting soft kisses along her neck in between his teasing words.
“What things?” he whispered, voice low and coaxing.
“Just—haha, no! It tickles!” Dawn protested, trying to push him away gently.
Her hand reached up, grasping his chin to steady his teasing mouth. Her breath came unevenly as she exined, “It’s that clingy client. She wants me to go with her to deliver something.”
Ethan’s eyes darkened, a flicker of possessiveness shing through them as he pulled her hand away from his face.
“Why does she need you to go with her? Don’t go,” he said firmly.
Dawn’s eyes widened in surprise. “Ethan, are you jealous of a woman?”
He nodded, a simple “Yeah” escaping him.
She could hardly believe it. Him, jealous? Yet, there it was.
Without hesitation, Ethan wrapped his arms fully around her, pulling her close until his face rested against her neck. “Honey, just stay home with me today, okay?” he murmured.
Dawn had rarely seen this clingy side of him before. She was still trying to process the sudden shift in his demeanor.
After a long pause, her voice softened,ced with gentle persuasion. “What if Ie back early? I already promised. It wouldn’t be right to back out now.”
Breaking free from his embrace, Dawn headed to freshen up and change. Ethan remained on the bed, still in the same position, his upper body partially exposed, muscles defined and radiating raw masculinity.
She nced at him briefly, then looked away with a reluctant sigh.
“I’m leaving now,” she said quietly.
—
Ethan lifted his eyelids just long enough to watch her leave the room. The minute she was gone, he sank back onto the bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling, a mix of helplessness and frustration washing over him.
He reached for his phone and dialed Tony. “Check Roxanne’s schedule today. Find out who she’s meeting.”
There was a brief pause. “Boss, Ms. West has an appointment to see you today,” Tony replied.
Ethan’s pupils narrowed sharply. “What?”
—
When Dawn arrived at thepany, she immediately spotted Roxanne’s car parked outside. Unlike usual, Roxanne had no bodyguards or assistants with her; she was behind the wheel herself.
“You’re here,” Dawn said, surprised.
Roxanne lifted her chin with a confident smile. “Get in.”
Hesitating for a moment, Dawn circled the front of the car and slid into the passenger seat.
The backseat was neatly filled with shopping bags—items from their recent mall trip.
Dawn nced at them and quickly looked away, forcing a smile. “If I were your friend, I’d be thrilled.”
Roxanne started the engine, shooting her a meaningful nce. “Really?”
“Absolutely,” Dawn replied.
It was early—earlier than most people heading to work—and Roxanne had taken the time to personally deliver gifts. If someone couldn’t recognize such thoughtfulness, they must be truly heartless.
Roxanne cracked the window down slightly, letting the breeze scatter strands of hair across her pretty eyes. She sighed softly. “I hope that’s true.”
Dawn, still rtively new to Northville, usually took only a couple of routes. As familiarndmarks passed by, a vague unease began to settle in her chest. The confusion she felt earlier started to sharpen into something more certain.
Soon, the car pulled up to the entrance of the Jackson Group building.
—
Roxanne pressed the brakes and turned to Dawn, her smile bright and inviting. “We’re here.”
Dawn wasn’t sure how she managed to walk inside, still carrying two bags of men’s clothing.
Roxanne, bncing even more bags, chatted as they moved through the lobby.
“I have to say again, your taste is impable. Everything you helped me pick out suits him perfectly. He’s going to love it,” Roxanne said with genuine enthusiasm.
“We haven’t seen each other in so long. Now that I’m back, I want to take this chance to confess my feelings. Dawn, do you think he’ll say yes?”
As they stepped into the elevator, Roxanne’s reflection multiplied in the mirrored doors, merging into an almost eerie image.
Dawn stared at the reflection, listening as Roxanne continued talking without pause. Her face was radiant and full of life—almost unreal in its beauty.
“Dawn?” Roxanne turned to her directly. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Sorry, what?” Dawn asked, caught off guard.
“I said, you must be pretty familiar with Jackson Group, right?” Roxanne’s eyes sparkled. “It’s one of the toppanies in Northville. The person I like is the one who runs it.”
Dawn’s face drained of color. She remained silent.
How could she not know?
In the world of business, even the most impulsive investmentse with background checks. Roxanne had to know that the true owner behind Dreammaker Studios was none other than Ethan.
In the blink of an eye, the elevator reached their floor. Roxanne moved with practiced confidence. “Come on. I think their officeyout is really interesting. We might get some ideas from it.”
Not far away, Tony emerged from a conference room and spotted them. He was so shocked he nearly stumbled.
What… what is going on here?
Ms. Porter, Ms. West…
Isn’t this utter chaos?
Tony’s scalp tingled with anxiety, but he forced himself forward. “Ms. West, Ms. Porter.”
Roxanne smiled at him. “Where’s your boss? I came to bring him something.”
“The boss…” Tony’s gaze flicked to Dawn’s face, noting the clear sadness etched there. His heart tightened.
It’s over, he thought. It’s really over…
