LOGINThe next morning... Ethan woke up with a throbbing headache. He looked around, seeing himself in a room that doesn't look familiar, he frowned and got down from the bed. He glanced at the table, then saw a bottled drink and a short paper. He went there and picked the paper up. "Take the honey water and go back home." The letter was short but Ethan already knew who the letter was from. "Ah, damn it!" He grunted. He then remembered everything that he did last night. This made him regret coming to the bar in the first place. But another part of him was happy because he ended up sleeping in Adrian's room and not some stranger's own. He slide the paper into his pocket, then took the honey water and drank it all. After that, he grabbed his car keys which was on the table and left the room. Outside the door, a man in suit was standing there. Seeing Ethan come out of the room, the man turned and lowered his head. "Good morning, sir." "Who are you?" Ethan asked, frowning. "My boss a
Earlier.... Adrian was sitting in his room when one of his men, the on he had out in charge of watching over Ethan walked in looking rather worried. "Boss." Adrian looked up from the newspaper in his hand, meeting the man's worried expression, he frowned. "What is it?" "Boss, that bar-boy took him away." Adrian sprang to his feet. "To where?" "The store rooms," the man replied. Before he could continue, Adrian rushed out of the office. Present... Standing at the door is an angry-looking Adrian. He was staring furiously at Noah. "That's enough!" He roared and rushed inside. He shoved Noah aside, causing the boy's back to hit the crates. Then went close to Ethan. "Hey..." Ethan was drunk. His eyes were almost closing, even though he didn't know what exactly was going on, he felt Adrian's presence. As the strong arms wrapped around him, he opened his eyes halfway. "Adrian?" He mumbled. But the man didn't respond and lifted him up in his arms. He was abo
Ethan leaned back against the chair, his fingers tapping lightly against the wooden table as his eyes wandered around the lively bar. Loud music echoed through the room while laughter and conversations blended into one another. Couples danced under the colorful lights, completely immersed in their own little world. Yet Ethan felt strangely out of place. He let out a quiet sigh. "One day..." he muttered under his breath. "I'm going to leave all of this behind." He narrowed his gaze. "The Sinclair Group, the title of heir, the expectations... All of it." Ethan didn't want any of them. All he wants is a peaceful life where he could write stories without anyone deciding his future for him. "...Your drink." A gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. Ethan looked up. The bar-boy had returned, carrying a crystal glass filled with a pale blue liquid. Tiny ice cubes floated inside while thin wisps of cold mist curled over the rim of the glass. He gently placed the drink on the table. "Sw
Ethan waited until the meeting was over. Lectures and the board of directors walked out of the Dean's office. Evelyn also came out and walked toward her son. Adrian was the last to come out, he was carrying a box containing his documents. Despite the whispers and low curses, he held his head high as he walked through the crowd. "You deserve to be punished!" "Evil man!" "Serves him right!" The moment Ethan saw him, he forgot the fact that he was in public. "Mr. Adrian!" He called. Adrian stopped in his tracks the moment he heard the familiar voice. Evelyn wanted to stop Ethan from going but before the word would leave her mouth, Ethan was already gone. She could only watch helplessly as her son rushed over to the other man. "Mr. Adrian," Ethan called as he neared Adrian. "What are you doing here?" Adrian asked with a slight frown. "Mr. Adrian, I know you didn't do it. I believe you," Ethan told him with every assurance. He had at least expected a positive reply from Adrian
Throughout that night, Ethan could not sleep. He kept tossing and tossing till it was daybreak.Without wasting time, he grabbed his phone and went downstairs, thre he saw his mother already dressed for work and was having breakfast."Morning, Mom," he greeted her."Good morning, Ethan" she replied. She looked at her son and immediately noticed the dark circles under his eyes. "Didn't you sleep last night?" She asked him."Yes mom, I couldn't sleep," Ethan replied, pulling the seat beside her and sitting down.Just then, Sarah walked in carrying another plate of food."Breakfast, young master."Ethan looked at Sarah. "Thank you."Sarah smiled and left."So yell me, Ethan. Why couldn't you sleep last night?" Evelyn asked Ethan. "Is it because of the news?"Ethan didn't respond immediately."Yes, Mom."Evelyn frowned. "That's not a reason for you not to sleep. I don't see the reason why someone like him will do such a thing.""Mom..." Ethan turned, staring at his mother. "He didn't do i
As Adrian stepped into his small apartment, he could not fully take off his mind off Ethan.He unloosened his tie with one hand while he dropped the books he was carrying in the other hand on the table. He walked straight to the refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of whiskey, then grabbed a glass and poured in some of it. Then, he grabbed the glass and went over to the window, he gazed down at the street while sipping the alcohol.Seconds later, the world around him faded and what came next was the scene from last night. Everything played slowly, giving him the feelings that it was happening at the moment.After some time, he shook his head and pulled himself out of the thought. The thought of sleeping with his student didn't just sit right with him. Adrian let out a long breath before emptying the remaining whiskey in his glass.He had always drawn a clear line between his personal and professional life. All these years he taught at the university, he never looked at any student b
