CHAPTER 6: I NEED YOUR GUIDANCE
Last Updated:
2025-03-26 06:11:21Steven must devise a strategy to remove Ethan from his position, and he recognizes that only one individual can assist him in carrying out his nefarious scheme: his elder sister, Jane. He contacts her and shares the recent developments at his workplace.
"Hello big sis," Steven greets. "Hi little bro, how's your day going?" Jane asks. "I'm not doing well," Steven replies. "Why aren't you well, what's bothering you?" Jane inquires. "It's about work," Steven responds. "Hmm, what about work?" Jane questions, intrigued. "Remember that new guy Ethan who got promoted recently?" Steven asks. "Yes, I remember him, what's going on?" Jane queries. "Unfortunately, he got another promotion, while I'm still stuck in my old role. I haven't even been promoted once, and if this keeps up, he'll soon be my manager, making my life difficult," Steven explains. "My goodness, that's troubling. This is a serious matter; what do you need from me?" Jane asks. "I need your guidance. I recall you were once in my situation and managed to resolve it, so I need you to help me figure this out too, as I can't remain stagnant forever," Steven clarifies. "Alright, the way I got promoted is a secret, but I’ll share it with you since you're my brother. Today is your day off, so why not come over to my place for a private chat?" Jane insists. "Okay, I'll be there shortly," Steven says as he drives to Jane's house without hesitation. When he arrives, Jane is already sitting and waiting for him. She quickly explains how she maneuvered her way past a colleague to attain her current position, and then she tells him what he should do in his situation. "Now, pay attention; you need to frame him," Jane advises. "What! Are you serious? He'll find out it was me!" Steven retorts. "He won’t know unless you choose to tell him," Jane replies. "What do you mean?" Steven quickly asks. "It's simple; just act nice to him and get close, maybe even pretend to be friends. That's the only way to set him up and remove him from your path," Jane explains. "But I don't want to associate with him," Steven protests. "I'm not suggesting you become genuine friends; it's just part of the plan, so you won't be suspected when the framing occurs. He won't think of you as a threat because he’ll see you as a friend," Jane clarifies. After a brief silence, Steven considers the idea and finds it appealing. He says, "Wow, I think I like this plan. So when should I start befriending him, and what should I frame him for?" "Start being friends as soon as you get to work. As for what to frame him for, that’s up to you, and you shouldn’t ask me that when you work in the bank. Take my advice: use what you have to get what you want," Jane advises. "I like the sound of that, but I hope this works," Steven responds. "Trust me, my plans always succeed. Just ensure it's not obvious when you're getting close so he won't suspect anything; just act natural around him," Jane advises. "Of course, I won't make it obvious. Trust me, that’s why I say you're the best sister in the world," Steven says as he hugs Jane. "I know, right? Just stop flattering me," Jane laughs. "Haha, but you enjoy it when I do," Steven chuckles. "Yeah, still, you need to be sincere with him. Share something about yourself so he knows you're serious about the friendship," Jane instructs. "Alright, and actually, I’ve been a bit of a nuisance to him at work, but for the last two weeks, I haven’t bothered him because I was tired of it all. Yet, he keeps progressing while I remain stagnant, so I figured I needed a strategy and you were my only option, big sister," Steven expresses. "That’s enough already. Just follow my instructions, and let him know you haven’t been bothering him lately because you’ve changed. If possible, apologize for being jealous and immature, then you'll see, you'll be on top," Jane advises. "Wow, you're a great sister! I will follow your advice, but I should head off now," Steven says. "Oh come on, stay for dinner; I made your favorite dish," Jane invites. Steven smiles, nods, and says, "Alright, I’ll stay." Meanwhile, Angela and Ethan are on another date, but Angela feels uneasy because he hasn't asked her to be his girlfriend, even though she feels it's been long enough. Many thoughts race through her mind. "Why won't he just ask me to be his girlfriend already? I've liked him for ages, but nothing has happened. Could he just be playing me as Cynthia said? Oh, Ethan, you occupy my thoughts," Angela ponders. Noticing her change in mood, Ethan asks, "Angela, are you alright?" She clears her throat and replies, "Of course, I’m fine." "However, you've been quiet since we arrived. You haven't even ordered anything," Ethan observes. "Um, I just don’t feel like eating right now. I have too much on my mind; I just came out with you for some fresh air," Angela responds. "Alright, if that's what you say," Ethan replied. He then lifted her spirits with a story, making her laugh. Once again, Angela enjoyed a delightful date with her crush. "It's getting late, Ethan; I really need to go home now," Angela said. "Sure, I should drive you back," Ethan responded quickly. Ethan took her home, and they exchanged goodbyes. As soon as Angela stepped into her apartment, she remembered that she hadn't spoken to her best friend Cynthia since her first date with Ethan, so she called to share how it went. Cynthia answered right away, as if she had been waiting for the call. "Hey, girlfriend," Angela greeted. "Hi, Angie, you finally decided to call after disappearing on me for about two weeks," Cynthia said with a hint of disappointment.

wealthy boyfriend who provides for all your needs," Cynthia explained. Angela rose and asked, "That reminds me, was the video you sent me orchestrated solely to terminate my relationship with Ethan?" "No, Angela, that video was genuine and not a setup," Cynthia admitted. "What have I done to deserve such treatment from you? Why would you wish for me to remain stagnant? Do you not realise that if I succeed in life and attain wealth, it reflects positively on you as well?" Angela asked, her voice filled with anguish. Cynthia was left speechless and pleaded, "I am truly sorry, Angela. I was simply envious of you for having found someone who is both wealthy and loves you, while I remain in a dull relationship that is leading nowhere. However, I have recently come to recognise my mistakes; please find it in your heart to forgive me and regard me as you once did." Angela found herself shedding tears unexpectedly. Despite everything Cynthia had said, she still regarded her as her closes

I am not concealing anything from you." "If that is the case, is Ethan on leave? It has been some time since I last saw him at work," Cynthia inquired. Angela coughed, hesitated, and asked, "I... I... I... I do not understand; what are you referring to?" "Well, I have not seen Ethan at work for several months, which is why I wish to know if he is on leave," Cynthia insisted. "My goodness, are you spying on my boyfriend!" Angela exclaimed in disbelief. "No, I am not; could you please lower your voice?" Cynthia requested. "Ah, and why should I lower my voice? Allow me to ask you something: if you are not spying on my boyfriend, how do you know it has been a while since he went to work?" Angela countered. "Because I frequently see him either at a bar or a cyber café, and his attire has become rather unkempt. Additionally, I have not seen him drive his car in a long time; he is always walking or taking a taxi. Thus, I wanted to confirm whether he is still employed, which is

"You could have given me a heads-up about your visit; I trust I did not keep you waiting?" Angela queried promptly. Cynthia sighed, "Not at all." "Please, take a seat," Angela invited courteously. Cynthia rolled her eyes and settled in, crossing her legs. "What brings about this unexpected visit?" Angela asked with curiosity. "Nothing; I merely wanted to surprise you," Cynthia replied. "How lovely! But what would you like?" Angela inquired. "Nothing, I am fine," Cynthia responded, though Angela noticed a hint of distress. "My dear friend, are you alright?" Angela asked with concern. "Yes, I am. Why do you ask?" Cynthia retorted. "Your tone seems rather irritable and distant, which is not characteristic of the Cynthia I know," Angela explained. Cynthia then admitted, "Alright, you are correct; I am indeed upset, and it is your fault." "I fail to understand. What are you referring to?" Angela asked, bewildered. "Oh, you do not understand? Let me ask you this: are we experie

delectable as my parents requested it, and she would not want to jeopardise her only opportunity to create something delightful. She invested her time and made certain the food was exquisite, and I was present while she cooked, so I observed her process," Ethan chuckled as he elucidated. "Wait a moment, are you implying that it was your parents who requested her to cook for them?" Alfie asked quickly. "Yes, my mother did, and I knew she was assessing Angela's culinary skills. However, Angela recognised this and agreed to prepare the meal, successfully passing the test with her delicious dish," Ethan explained. "Hmm, but why would your parents want Angela to cook for them? Did you say anything to them?" Alfie probed. Ethan sat on the bed and replied, "Indeed, I did. I mentioned to them that I was contemplating proposing to Angela before the fabricated issue with my bank that lasted three months." "Oh, I understand now; that is why they wished to meet her and asked you not to infor

we have tasted it. And do remember, she is laughing out loud due to our son’s influence." "Nevertheless, I shall reserve my judgement until I have sampled her cooking," Mr. Ronald stated. An hour later, Angela completed the preparation of the meal and served Ethan's parents. She then whispered to Ethan, "I hope they will enjoy it." Ethan tasted the food and replied, "Enjoy it? They will absolutely love it!" When Ethan's parents finally tasted the dish, they were indeed impressed by its quality. "Wow, I had a feeling this meal would be extraordinary. You are truly an excellent chef," Mr. Ronald complimented as he savoured the food slowly. "Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate it," Angela responded gratefully. Mrs. Ronald interjected, "Mm, this dish is truly exceptional; it is utterly delicious, Angela." Angela blushed and replied, "Thank you, ma’am." Ethan embraced her and whispered, "I told you they would love it, didn’t I?" "Indeed, you did," Angela acknowledged. "Let us

"Indeed," Ethan confirmed. "Now, what if I had disregarded your advice regarding modest dress?" Angela queried. "Ha ha, that scenario would not have transpired, as I know you would have understood the subtle hint I was conveying and would have dressed appropriately," Ethan laughed. "Hehe, you seem to understand me very well. You were correct; I did pick up on the signal, as it was unusual for you to request modest attire, which led me to suspect something was amiss. I certainly did not want to jeopardise the situation," Angela giggled as she explained. "I knew you would not falter; however, I hope my mother was not overly harsh during your conversation," Ethan questioned. "Not at all. I was unaware she was your mother as she did not introduce herself. I am grateful that I did not respond rudely, for she began questioning me as soon as I entered, which did provoke me at times, but I managed to contain my frustration," Angela admitted. Ethan could not contain his laughter. "Ha ha
