"Wow, I appreciate your honesty and that you didn't mislead me to impress me. By the way, action and romance are my favorites too, but I rarely get to watch them because of work," Ethan added. "Now that we're together, we can enjoy them," Angela said. "That sounds amazing," Ethan agreed. Ethan gazed at Angela, and she licked her lips. He asked, "What are you thinking about?" "Well, I'm still curious why you pretended to be a delivery guy and sounded just like one," Angela queried. "I had a feeling you'd ask that, and I've prepared an answer for you. I was a delivery man," Ethan revealed. "Seriously?" Angela replied, intrigued. "Yes! After graduating, there were no jobs, and that was the only offer I received. I took it, but it was so exhausting that I reconsidered and applied to the bank. Luckily, I got in, so I quit the delivery job and became a banker," Ethan explained. "Wow, that's impressive! You're lucky to have landed a bank job. By the way, what did you major in?" Angel

"Well, he asked me yesterday, and I intended to share the good news with you later, but since you are here now, you already know," Angela responded with a smile. "Hmm, yesterday, and you accepted so quickly?" Cynthia inquired. "Come on, do not perceive it that way. I have been anticipating this for a long time; you should be happy for me," Angela explained. "Alright, I understand, and I am happy for you as well. It is just that your prompt acceptance raises some concerns and..." Cynthia began to say, but Angela interrupted. "And what? Do you think perhaps I am not worthy of him, or that he simply wants to use me?" Angela asked sadly. "That is not my intention; I merely care about your well-being. I apologise," Cynthia replied. "No, it is quite alright. I appreciate your concern, but trust me, you will come to like Ethan once you get to know him better," Angela insisted. "I only came to check on you," Cynthia said. "That is very kind of you," Angela responded. "Take c

“I conducted inquiries later and discovered that she had been working at that club for a year. Consequently, I felt compelled to end the relationship, realising that during those times she had claimed to be at church, she was actually at the club performing her erotic dance. That is how the relationship concluded,” Ethan elaborated. “Indeed, that is quite distressing. I am truly sorry to hear that,” Angela expressed. “I have not shared this experience regarding Patricia with anyone else, as it would likely come across as amusing and foolish,” Ethan admitted. “Then why did you choose to confide in me?” Angela inquired. “Nothing in particular; I merely thought you ought to be aware of her,” Ethan replied. “Very well, what about the second one?” Angela asked. “Her name was Freya; she was exceptionally beautiful. Unfortunately, I caught her cheating on me with someone she claimed was her cousin. I loved her dearly and fell ill following our breakup, but life persists, and I moved on

"Hmm, I do not understand; what has prompted this sudden change?" Ethan inquired. "I realised that bothering you and causing you distress has been detrimental to my own well-being, which is why I have ceased," Steven clarified. "Is that so?" Ethan asked, amusement evident in his tone. "Indeed, and allow me to surprise you further: I am also here to propose that we put our past behind us and strive for something positive. I must sincerely apologise for all the trouble I have caused you," Steven declared. Ethan was astonished; he could scarcely believe that Steven had made such a statement. He managed to utter, "Wow." "I am here to make amends so that we can become friends. I no longer wish to remain your enemy; instead, I would like us to be good friends. If I have wronged you or said anything that caused you distress, I am truly sorry and am committed to behaving appropriately from this point forward," Steven apologised. Ethan could hardly believe his ears; he even had to rub hi

matter I intended to discuss with him. I asked why he had not contacted me for two weeks, and he confessed that he had undergone a change of heart. He sought to reconcile our differences and befriend me, and he also apologised for the troubles he had caused," Ethan recounted. "Really? What was your response?" Angela inquired. "I assured him that it was acceptable, that I had forgiven him, and that we could indeed be friends," Ethan replied. "Hmm, just like that? Do you not think you may have been too quick to befriend him?" Angela asked. "What do you mean?" Ethan queried. "I mean, what if he has ulterior motives? For all I know, he does not like you," Angela clarified. "I do not believe that to be the case, as he seemed genuinely different, which is uncharacteristic of him," Ethan responded. "Hmm, just exercise caution with him; that is all I advise," Angela suggested. "Certainly, I shall," Ethan replied. "May I ask, is that the reason for your happiness?" Angela questioned.

offer my assistance. You mention Monday as if you are unaware that it is one of the busiest days at work. If I am not mistaken, you will likely have even more tasks to complete then. If you do not finish this today, you will face an overwhelming workload come Monday, and I am certain you would prefer to avoid that,” Steven elucidated. Ethan pondered this for a moment. “I also wish for you to complete your work in a timely manner so that you can attend your meeting. Alternatively, let us proceed this way: if I do not type as quickly as I have claimed, you may continue it yourself. All I want to do is help,” Steven suggested. Ethan ultimately agreed, saying, “Very well, you may assist me. However, if you are not as swift as you assert, I will complete the work myself.” With enthusiasm, Steven responded, “Excellent! I understand you have yet to witness my typing skills, so prepare to be amazed.” Ethan observed Steven closely, and indeed, he typed as quickly as he had claimed. One th

Clearing her throat, she stated, “Ethan, I would like you to meet my best friend, Cynthia. And Cynthia, allow me to introduce you to the love of my life, Ethan.” “It is a pleasure to meet you, Cynthia; I have heard so much about you,” Ethan said, extending his hand for a handshake. Cynthia turned her gaze away and ignored him, prompting Angela to give her a signal before she finally shook Ethan's hand. Cynthia then responded, “The pleasure is all mine. I have heard much about you as well; my best friend Angela speaks of you constantly.” Angela interjected as she offered Ethan a seat. Ethan settled comfortably into the chair. “What may I offer you?” Angela inquired. “Nothing, please do not trouble yourself; I am perfectly fine,” Ethan replied. “Very well, if that is your wish,” Angela said. For a span of five minutes, silence enveloped the room until Angela finally broke it by saying, “Darling, it feels so good for you to finally meet my best friend Cynthia, right?” “Yes, and

"Even if I did, she would not be concerned. To be frank, she truly cares for you," Cynthia stated. "Oh my goodness, and I share that sentiment for her," Ethan remarked, gazing at Angela, who smiled back at him with evident joy. As their conversation continued, Angela joined in, and they shared laughter, engaged in light-hearted chatter, and even played a game, which proved to be quite enjoyable. "I must confess, you are delightful company," Cynthia admitted. "I am aware of that," Ethan replied playfully. Ethan had intended to take the ladies out, but Angela quickly objected. "It has been quite a long day; shall we go out for dinner?" Ethan suggested. "No, that will not be necessary, and please do not inquire further," Angela concluded firmly. "Very well," Ethan responded. After spending an additional hour conversing with Angela and Cynthia, he decided it was time to take his leave. "I believe it is time for me to depart," Ethan proposed. "Oh, why is that?" Angela

"Thank you for your understanding, ma’am," Ethan expressed gratefully as he returned to sit with Harper. Without posing any inquiries to Ethan, Harper erupted into laughter. "Haha, I was aware she would not pay you any attention, and now you have embarrassed yourself. I attempted to dissuade you, but you disregarded my advice. Drink up; let us return home," Harper chuckled while giving instructions. "Hehe, and who claimed she did not give me her attention? Allow me to astonish you; she will be joining us shortly," Ethan retorted. "Are you being serious at this moment?" Harper asked, amused. "Certainly I am," Ethan replied with confidence. "Wow, how did you manage that?" Harper inquired eagerly. "I employed my initiative and the strategies I shared with you," Ethan responded. At that moment, Sophie approached and sat down with them, leaving Harper astounded. "Ethan, I am here," Sophie announced. "Thank you for keeping your word," Ethan expressed his gratitude. Sophie smiled

all motivated by a desire for tranquility at work, correct?" Harper asked. "Indeed, it was a source of distress for me, as each morning when I awoke and prepared to go to work, I felt a profound sadness knowing that I had an adversary. I was apprehensive that he might choose to eliminate me at some point. However, I was unaware that his intentions would manifest when he drew closer to me. All I desired in my workplace was the freedom to breathe and to feel at ease, without the burden of enemies. This was the reason I accepted his apology and agreed to befriend him immediately," Ethan elucidated. "Is it accurate to say that you chose to embrace a state of peace and naivety towards him solely for the sake of tranquillity?" Harper inquired. "Precisely, although I was unaware of the implications of my actions. Nonetheless, I find myself in a position where I must accept my circumstances," Ethan replied. "Hmm, observe the consequences of your quest for peace of mind," Harper remarked w

him until my first promotion, after which everything changed. His behaviour shifted, leading to feelings of animosity and jealousy, and ultimately resulting in my current predicament,” Ethan elaborated. “Please, be gentle with yourself. You earned that promotion through hard work and determination. You erred in befriending your adversary, but as I mentioned, it was not your fault, as you could not have predicted these events,” Harper clarified. "While I acknowledge this, I must question the benefits of the promotions I received; had I not been promoted, none of these events would have transpired," Ethan lamented. "In that scenario, you would have declined the promotions when they were offered to you," Harper asserted. "I made an effort to do so, yet the bank manager insisted that I deserved the advancements. I had no foreknowledge that it would lead to this outcome; had I been aware, I would have persuaded him to confer the promotions upon someone else. I suppose I was merely

saying, “Here you go.” “Thank you,” Charlotte expressed her gratitude. Ethan nodded as he sat down, and a momentary silence ensued until Charlotte broke it by saying, “Ethan, I wanted to ask how everything transpired between you and Steven.” Ethan feigned ignorance. “What are you referring to?” Ethan questioned. “Well, a month ago, you and two of your friends visited my home seeking information about Steven. When I inquired why you needed such information, you indicated that you suspected he was involved in framing you. I requested feedback, yet I have not heard from you since,” Charlotte elucidated. Ethan found it necessary to prevaricate, as he wished to conceal from Charlotte the fact that Steven was responsible for framing him; he also aimed to prevent her from pursuing legal action against Steven, as he preferred to seek retribution on his own. "Ah, well, we conducted our investigation and discovered that he was not involved. I did not wish to cause you undue stress, which

from me," Steven mused to himself. Meanwhile, Angela, intrigued, immediately asked, "My love, what did Steven say he wanted this time?" "Actually, he called me yesterday regarding an issue with his bank manager, and I encouraged him to apologise," Ethan replied. "Hmm, I do not wish to know the specifics of his issue with the bank manager; whatever predicament he finds himself in, he undoubtedly deserves it," Angela remarked. Ethan smiled and said, "My love, please remain calm. I am aware you have a dislike for Steven, and he has indeed received his just desserts. I only wish he would encounter further difficulties at work." "You can say that again," Angela concurred. "Let us take a nap; I am quite exhausted," Ethan suggested. "With pleasure," Angela replied happily. Conversely, Steven remained profoundly distressed, as he aspired to secure a promotion that the bank manager was reluctant to grant. Furthermore, he contemplated ways to dispose of the manager but realised he could

"My love, ignoring her calls will not resolve anything. Simply answer and ascertain the reason for her call, and act as though everything is normal," Angela urged. When Olivia called again, Ethan finally answered. "Hello, dear sister," Ethan greeted. "Good day, big brother. I have been attempting to reach you, but you have not been responding," Olivia retorted. "I apologise for that; I was occupied," Ethan replied. "It has been a while since I heard from you, and you seldom call, so I decided to reach out today to see how you are faring," Olivia said. "I am doing well. And you?" Ethan inquired. "I am faring well, and I am reaching out to you as I require financial assistance for my tuition fees and monthly expenses. I spoke with Father, and he informed me that he has yet to receive his salary, insisting that I contact you," Olivia explained. Upon hearing this, Ethan was taken aback, while Angela subtly encouraged him to continue the conversation. "Um, how much do you

which is why I have chosen to withdraw. Since that time, I have been apprehensive about entering another relationship, as I am uncertain of the behaviour the next woman I date may exhibit, and I am unwilling to subject my parents or relatives to further humiliation," Alfie elucidated. "I understand your sentiments, but do not dismiss the possibility that you have yet to encounter the right woman. It is not obligatory to marry anyone you date; take the time to truly understand her before making such a commitment. Moreover, why the urgency to marry?" Ethan inquired. "Ethan, how long should one date a woman before proposing marriage? I was in a relationship with Gloria for a year and with Lucy for eight months. Ultimately, it seems inconsequential. I have come to realise that neither was truly compatible with me, which is why I adhere to the adage, 'Man proposes, God disposes.' However, as I am now in my thirties, I seek companionship and someone to call my own. This is why I desired t

indicating that we would depart at dawn. When I asked why we could not take an evening flight, he mentioned he was expecting someone, to which I agreed and then retired to my room to rest,” Alfie continued. “Please, go on. I am all ears,” Ethan encouraged. The following morning, which was two days prior to my wedding, I awoke and awaited his arrival to call me so we could board our flight back. However, he did not come. Nonetheless, I chose not to disturb him, as I was under the impression that we would be departing from Vancouver that day. Consequently, I picked up my phone and call my fiancée, Lucy, who informed me that she was en route home with her friends. Shortly thereafter, Calvin knocked on my door, expressing a desire to speak with me," Alfie recounted. "What did he say? I trust he has not changed his mind about being your best man?" Ethan inquired eagerly. "Not at all, he had a different matter to discuss," Alfie responded with a laugh. "Very well, what was the nature

other four friends arrived and inquired why I had injured Levi, I explained the situation, and when they asked who my fiancée was, I stated it was Gloria. Can you guess what happened next?" Alfie continued his narrative. “What!” Ethan exclaimed. The group erupted into laughter, and one of them named Mike asserted that Levi was indeed correct, claiming he could attest to this because he had been intimate with her on multiple occasions. The other three concurred, laughing heartily as Mike informed me that they all had been involved with her, thereby justifying Levi's label of her as promiscuous, which Alfie recounted with evident sorrow. “Oh my goodness, that is quite troubling. Did you confront her about it?” Ethan inquired. “Indeed, I did, but she denied everything,” Alfie replied. “They will invariably deny such allegations. What actions did you take next?” Ethan pressed. “Well, I informed my friends that they were lying. Mike then reassured me, stating that he would invite her
