    **Chapter 296: A Parking Lot Showdown**


    Ethan and Roxanne emerged from the bustling business event, the remnants of corporate chatter andughter fading behind them as they stepped into the cool evening air. The city lights shimmered in the dusk, casting a soft glow around them.


    As if it were the most natural thing in the world, Roxanne slipped her hand around Ethan’s arm, her touch both familiar and possessive. “Ethan, will you drive me home?” she asked, her voiceced with a sweet expectation.


    Ethan’s expression shifted, a frown creasing his brow as he instinctively pulled his arm away from her grasp. “Did you break your leg or something?” he retorted, his tone sharp and devoid of warmth.


    There was a palpable edge to his words, one that could cut through the thickest tension.


    Yet, beneath that rough exterior, Roxanne found something exhrating. She raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile ying on her lips. “Yeah, totally broken. So shouldn’t you take care of me?”


    Ethan let out a derisive snort, the sound echoing in the stillness of the parking lot. “If something’s wrong with you, go see a doctor. Don’t waste your time on me.”


    With that, he turned on his heel and strode toward his car, the metallic click of the door closing punctuating his dismissal.


    Roxanne attempted to follow, her heart racing with frustration, but Tony stepped in, blocking her path with a firm arm.


    “Ms. West, please have some self-respect,” he said, his tone bordering on condescending.


    “Self-respect?” Roxanne’s eyes narrowed, a chill creeping into her voice. “It’s fine for your boss to talk to me like that, but who do you think you are? Move.”


    Tony remained unfazed, his gaze steady. “I don’t know who I ampared to you, but my boss doesn’t want you following him. You should go home and rest. If you stay out toote, you might run into something dangerous in the dark.”


    “You—!” Roxanne’s voice simmered with indignation.


    Tony observed her shifting emotions, a polite smile gracing his lips as he maintained his ground.


    Then, without another word, he slipped into the car, leaving her standing there, seething.


    To any observer, it would have seemed like a tender farewell between lovers, two people reluctant to part ways. But if they were so close, why were they getting into separate cars?


    Kate, watching from a distance, rolled her eyes in exasperation and pressed down on the gas, determined to follow them.


    As their vehicle veered off the highway, Tony nced in the rearview mirror, his brow furrowing. “Boss, I think someone’s trailing us,” he informed Ethan, who sat with his eyes closed, an inscrutable expression on his face.


    After a long, tense silence, Ethan finally spoke, his voice low andmanding. “Pull over.”


    “Right away, boss.”


    As soon as they exited the overpass, Tony brought the car to a stop.


    The vehicle behind them halted as well.


    Kate stepped out, her long legs confidently navigating the pavement in her high heels. She had meticulously nned her approach: stride up, smash the jerk’s window, yell at him until she was breathless, and then deliver a well-deserved p for Dawn’s sake.


    But just as she was about to reach the car, Tony stepped into her path.


    “Ma’am, can I help you?” he inquired, taking in her determined stance.


    Kate met his gaze head-on, her resolve unwavering.


    The man before her had a strikingly handsome face, one that seemed more suited to a life of luxury than as a mere driver.


    Ha! A pretty boy.


    She raised her brows, her voice steady. “Move. I’m not here for you.”


    “No.”


    “You jerk!”


    Kate felt a flush of anger rise within her as his bold stare swept over her. She shot a re past him toward the car, her voice ringing out with authority. “Ethan Jackson! Get out here!”


    “Huh?”


    Tony froze, taken aback.


    He had initially thought Kate was just another admirer of his boss, but suddenly, the situation felt far moreplicated.


    When silence enveloped the car, Kate’s frustration boiled over. She shoved Tony aside with surprising strength. “I’m not leaving until I get this off my chest, whether you like it or not!”


    Tony, though momentarily confused, sensed the tension in the air.


    One look at Kate told him she wasn’t here with friendly intentions. There was no way he would let her near his boss.


    As Kate tried to push past him, he instinctively moved to block her again.


    Her high heels echoed against the pavement, each step loud and defiant, like a tap dancer demanding attention.


    Tony scrutinized her, intrigued by the fierce expression on her face. She wore a tight pencil skirt and ck stockings, exuding confidence, yet right now, she looked like an angry child ready to explode.


    Yikes. She was furious.


    Kate had reached her limit. She hefted her bag and swung it toward Tony. “Don’t you understand the word MOVE?!”


    Caught off guard, Tony took the hit, letting out a low grunt as he staggered back.


    Seizing the moment, Kate darted forward.


    “Ethan!”


    Tony was momentarily speechless.


    He attempted to step in her way again, but Ethan shot him a warning nce.


    Breathless, Kate turned to the man in the car, her determination unwavering. “I’m Dawn’s friend,” she dered, lifting her chin defiantly. “And let me tell you something. I can’t stand seeing my friend get hurt. But you? You’re out here acting like aplete jerk right in front of me. Get out of the car!”


    The moment Ethan heard Dawn’s name, his head snapped up, eyes zing with emotion.


    He opened the car door, his long legs unfolding as he stepped out.


    Even though Kate had encountered many handsome men in her life, this one had an undeniable presence that made her momentarily falter. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she refocused.


    “You’ve seen Dawn?” he asked, his voice smooth and deep, sending a shiver down her spine.


    Oh great, his voice sounded good too. No wonder that girl couldn’t get over him.


    “Yeah,” Kate replied, crossing her arms defiantly, tilting her head up to meet his gaze. “Aren’t you her husband? Your wife sits at home feeling miserable every day, and you’re out here living it up. If you ask me, you’re embarrassing all men!”


    Tony felt a chill run down his spine at her boldness.


    He had served his boss for years and had never witnessed anyone dare to speak to him in such a manner.


    Ethan, however, remained outwardly calm. After a lengthy pause, his low, gravelly voice finally broke through the tension. “Is she doing okay?”Conclusion
