"Ethan's point of view,"

"Miss, why should I hire you?" Without looking at her resume, I questioned the girl who was seated in front of me.

Since seven in the morning, I have been sitting in my office and searching for a knowledgeable financial advisor for my company's finance division.

Because of my stupid and careless P.A., although I had made it plain to Steve that only men should apply for this post, I've been wasting my valuable time by interviewing a tonne of pointless and annoying girls since the morning.

"I can help you out a lot in terms of efficiency. I possess a variety of talents that would set me apart. I'd rather show my skills than describe them. Please allow me the chance to let the quality of my work speak for itself."

Oh crap, here comes another cocky female candidate.

"Wao. Miss Green, you're saying that your actions speak louder than your words."

I didn't want to waste my time reading her resume, but after hearing her arrogant response, I couldn't resist interrogating her further.

"Indeed, Mr. Woods," she replied, swaying in her chair toward my table.

I knew exactly what kind of job Miss Green was asked to perform in my office by the look of lust in her eyes and the sultry smile on her face.

"Get out."

"What?"

That girl's face abruptly took on a perplexed expression.

"I told you to leave my office immediately, Miss Green, and I have no habit of repeating myself."

Because I've been conversing with so many women, I've already grown frustrated. The woman sitting in front of me is currently getting on my nerves by having me keep repeating my words.

"Mr. Woods, insulting me in this way won't get me out of your office. I can accuse you of molesting me right now if I want to."

Girls' threats, oh my god.

I listened to her and gave her a disapproving look.

She smiled triumphantly as she noticed how I had instantly become calm.

She got up from the chair that was in front of me, and she was ready to sit back down on my bottled-up rage.

"Miss Green, do you have any hearing issues?

Get out of here; I ordered you to." I yelled violently as I slammed my hand down on the desk.

"How dare you speak to me in this manner, Mr. Woods?"

"Steve came right away to my cabin." I dialed his extension to handle her tantrums.

I find girls' temper tantrums very annoying.

"Mr. Woods, what occurred?" He entered in my office fixing his glasses, like he don't have any idea about what's going on here.

"My cabin needs to be immediately cleared of this jerk."

"Mr. Woods, you will pay a severe price for disrespecting me."

"Just keep quiet.

You can't harm me even if you want to, because I'm Ethan Woods, and I don't back down from challenges.

I can squish you between my fingers."

With my eyes, I fire the dragger at Steve.

He is fully aware of what I want to say to him right now.

"Mr. Woods, Your Pineapple Juice." Steve has secretly brought a sipper of pineapple juice with him, knowing well that it is the only thing that will cool the blaze of my wrath.

"I gave you clear instructions, so I don't understand why you called a female candidate for an interview for such an important job in the organization."

My frustration levels were already high, and my tie was feeling like a noose around my throat.

"Mr. Woods In the world of finance today, women are faring much better."

"Oh, seriously?" Steve gulped his last words along with his saliva after noticing my ferocious look.

"No woman in the world can perform in finance better than a man.

Women have little business experience."

I took the sipper in my hands and moved toward my gaming area.

"Mr. Woods, your next meeting will begin in a half-hour." Somehow, Steve got the word out.

"Steve, you've already caused me a lot of frustration since the morning; now give me some space to calm down."

"But everyone in the room is waiting for you, Mr. Woods."

"Steve, I promise you that today is your last day working in wood's construction if you irritate me any further or provide any negative news."I warned him.

"Sorry, Mr. Woods," Steve said in a terrified tone after adjusting his glasses.

"Now get out of my way." I get my coat off the couch and straighten my tie.

"John, please display the project report for me." As I stared at the screen, I asked in an authoritative tone.

"Mr. Woods, our team has purchased practically everywhere in the area we'd chosen for the new project, but they haven't been able to track down the owner of the land that will be crucial to its success."

"I want this land by all means. Therefore, you guys came here to show the progress report on what?"

On the projector in front of me,the map of the new project for our company was open.

The entire projector's screen was covered in Wood's construction logo, but the red-painted ground in the center kept drawing my eyes.

Who is the land's owner, whose whereabouts have remained so much a mystery that my team and I could not track him down?

"Mr. Woods, we'll soon learn who owns this property." John gave me a comforting glance.

"If there is even a tiny delay in commencing this project because of any negligence or foolishness or if any kind of difficulty arises, you know the outcome after that, don't you, John?

You know well that I dislike living on false expectations."

I spoke sternly to John, threatening him.

"Absolutely, Mr. Woods." John sucked on his lips and shook his head.

"Now that you've done that, it would be preferable to swiftly show the fruits of your labor than to squander my valuable time in this pointless conversation." I left the meeting room, unbuttoned my coat, and returned to my office.

    Ethan~"Thank you, Avery." Steve smiled broadly at the sight of Stella's assistance. "My pleasure, Steve." Avery's face also blushed. What's going on between them? I was surprised to find them. "I hope getting there isn't too tough for you, Mr. Woods." Avery questioned me. "Not at all; with your help, we had no trouble getting here." Before I could respond, Steve answered her question. What the hell? How is it possible for my assistant's love story to be resolved more easily than mine? Stella didn't want to talk to me and locked herself in the room, and here my assistant flirted with her assistant. "Steve, please bring me some coffee; I'm starving." I felt a slight wave of jealousy as I watched him happily conversing with Avery. Why won't Stella speak to me with such affection? Because you always irritated her by showing your anger. Without asking, my subconscious gave me the answer. Avery followed Steve into the kitchen to help him get coffee for me. Why did Stella lock her

    Stella~"Stella, you didn't do good by insulting Mr. Woods." Once I finished my office work and sat in my car to return home, Avery complained to me. "Avery, please don't begin now; I am already upset with what he did in the conference hall. I mean, how could he do this?" I tighten my grip on the steering wheel in anger. "Stella, you are overreacting; he did nothing wrong; he was clearing his doubts." Avery and I argued for Ethan Woods. "Really? Oh, my God! You said that The Great Ethan Woods did nothing wrong when he offered me to work for his company for my desired salary." I gave her a furious glance. "That's precisely why I'm curious why he gave you money to work for his business when, as his wife, you are obligated to do so for free." Her remarks only heighten my ire. "First of all, Avery, we are not real husband and wife; we are just contracted married. Second, if you think he owned me because of our relationship, then you are also my friend, so you too don't have to take m

    "Ethan POV,""Why are you staring at me?" My face heated up when I saw her staring at me. "Nothing. You look cute when you blush." She made fun of me. This woman dares to make me feel nervous. I scratched my neck and stared at the ground. Knowing he wasn't her boyfriend brought me a sense of relief. But why did she return to California without even saying goodbye to me? Her assistant entered the office with two coffee mugs. "Welcome to California, Mr. Woods. You did a great job coming here, as Stella missed you so much last night that she couldn't sleep." Placing the coffee mug down on the table, she turned to face Stella. "Is she telling the truth?" I looked at Stella in surprise. "No, she is telling a lie; I didn't miss you." She refused to accept what Avery said to me, but her expression revealed something else. Her hazel eyes did not meet mine; her cheeks flushed. My subconscious is urging me to interpret the deep, buried emotions in her eyes, but my ego is telling me to be

    Stella~"Et... Ethan... w... what are you doing here?" When I saw him standing in my office, my speech trailed off. "Who is he?" He ignored my question and cast an angry look at David. I'm at a loss for words. What should I tell him?In my absence from California, David and his mom created countless problems for my business, constantly pressuring Avery to ask me to return. I never thought my crafty aunt would team up with Mr. Chang to harm me. At first, she used her fake affection to lure me into marrying her son, but when I refused, she switched tactics. She physically attacked me just before my wedding. If Avery hadn't helped me escape through the backyard gate, things could've been much worse. Poor Avery, she even broke her leg, saving me from Aunt Lily.I thought marrying Ethan would end Aunt Lily's interference, but she keeps finding ways to meddle. Today, she sent David to try to negotiate a deal-she wants a 50% share in my company in exchange for keeping my past life secrets

    Ethan~"Open the door, Stella." I knocked on my room's door, but she didn't respond. Huh, what's wrong with her? I tried to be civil by asking her permission before entering, but what does she think of herself? She's not Queen Victoria, from whom I should request entry into my bedroom. My male ego forced my hand onto the doorknob.Are you planning to confess your feelings to her in this manner? You've already realized how you feel, so don't let your ego control you now. Otherwise, your love confession will feel more like an invitation to war, my subconscious advised, trying to calm the fury rising inside me.I loosened my grip on the knob and padded softly into the room. "Where are you, Stella?" Anxiety crept in as I found the room empty. I searched the bathroom-nothing. Where could she have gone at this late hour?My heart started pounding. I had put so much effort into preparing to confess my feelings to her, but it all seemed futile now. She's gone. It took me a long time to und

  • Billionaire And His CEO Wife   Fallen for him

    Stella~"Stella, how are you feeling now?" Seeing concern in his eyes, I rubbed my own in disbelief. What happened to this monster overnight? How could someone go from being a monster to a nice guy in a single night?"I'm feeling tired," I finally replied. I could feel the heat of his palm beneath my cheek. Oh, he waited for me to wake up the entire night while sitting here. I felt as though I had entered a different universe.Shut up and stop being dramatic, my subconscious scolded. I already told you he's not as bad as you think."Get up quickly so we can go to the doctor for a checkup," he said, assisting me as I got off the bed. After my parents' deaths, I hadn't experienced this much concern from anyone, so seeing his genuine worry made my eyes moisten. I quickly wiped my tears, not wanting him to make fun of me for crying."Stella, how are you feeling right now?" His grandparents entered with worried expressions."Grandma, she's all right. You don't need to worry about her." E
