"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

    After sitting for fifteen minutes without sight of Alfie, he decided to search for him. Upon exiting, he found him in the sitting room. “My goodness, Alfie, where have you been? I have been searching for you everywhere!” Ethan inquired hastily. “I merely stepped outside for some fresh air,” Alfie responded. Ethan approached him. “Alfie, you have saved me numerous times today, and the most crucial instance was when I ran out of fabrications. How did you know my parents were here, and that I was in conversation with them? I hadn’t informed you of their arrival,” Ethan queried. “Well, after you went to check who was at the door, I waited for you to return but you did not come back inside, nor did I hear your voice. I decided to investigate and spotted your parents, so I concealed myself and listened to your conversation. I realised you had run out of prevarications, and I thought it prudent to intervene, as I knew you would not want them to discover your current situation, as it wou

    “I went to collect a file from my office regarding a murder case I will soon be handling. I am yet to learn who my opponent is; that will be revealed in court, but I was on my way home when I encountered you,” Charlotte elaborated. Ethan cleared his throat and immediately asked, “A murder case? Forgive my curiosity, but was it your client who committed the act, or was it the opposite?” “Actually, it was my client who was murdered, and I aim to seek justice for them,” Charlotte clarified. “Understood,” Ethan responded slowly. “Ethan, could you do me a favour?” Charlotte asked. “What kind of favour?” Ethan inquired. “I would like you to attend the court so that you may observe my defence,” Charlotte requested. “I will attempt to be there, but I cannot guarantee it,” Ethan replied. Charlotte jumped with excitement and embraced Ethan. “Thank you!” she exclaimed. “Why are you so thrilled?” Ethan queried. “I simply felt like celebrating,” Charlotte responded. “Very wel

    "Yes, sir," Alfie affirmed. "Hmm, how credible is this information? I have not heard anything about it in the news," Mr. Ronald queried. "Um, perhaps you were not listening to the news on the day it was announced," Alfie replied effortlessly. "Very well, you may have a point, but I did not see it in the newspapers either," Mr. Ronald continued. "Perhaps the papers were sold out before you had the chance to purchase one," Alfie suggested, glancing upwards. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald began to exhibit signs of anxiety and suspicion. "Ethan, what is happening here? Is what Alfie is saying true?" Mrs. Ronald pressed. "Yes, it is true, and it is quite serious. Furthermore, the issue is being addressed," Ethan muttered. "Hmm, very well. What about your savings? I know you maintain a savings account for emergencies such as this," Mr. Ronald asked. Ethan fabricated a response, "I have deposited them in a fixed account and will not be able to access them for six months." "That is quite a lon

    see your car parked outside," Mr. Ronald stated. Ethan fell silent for a moment as he contemplated the most suitable lie to concoct. Ethan stammered, "Um..., um..., actually..." Before Ethan could complete his intended evasion, Alfie, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, unexpectedly emerged and addressed the question posed to Ethan. "Actually, the car broke down yesterday and is currently in a mechanic's workshop," Alfie stated nonchalantly. Ethan was left speechless when Alfie interjected with his response. Alfie is well-regarded by Ethan's family as his closest friend; upon seeing him, Ethan's parents smiled warmly, and he immediately embraced them. Alfie promptly saluted, "Welcome, sir, welcome, ma'am." "Thank you, Alfie," they both replied in unison. "It is indeed a delightful surprise," Alfie remarked. "Yes, in fact, we intended to pay Ethan an unplanned visit at his residence, but the situation did not unfold as we anticipated. We were not even meant to a

    our son, he did not mention anything of the sort," Mrs. Ronald noted. "I do not think Solomon was deceiving us; I see no reason for him to lie to us at our age. Furthermore, I advise you to exercise a bit of patience until we reach Alfie's house; then we will ascertain whether Solomon was indeed playing a prank," Mr. Ronald responded. "Very well," Mrs. Ronald murmured. It took Mr. and Mrs. Ronald an hour to reach Alfie's house. Upon their arrival, they knocked but received no response. "Are you certain this is the correct address?" Mrs. Ronald asked. "Indeed, it is, but I am perplexed as to why there is no response," Mr. Ronald replied. "I believe we should knock again," Mrs. Ronald suggested. They knocked once more but still received no answer. "Hmm, it appears that no one is home," Mr. Ronald remarked. "Let us not jump to conclusions just yet, dear," Mrs. Ronald suggested. Mrs. Ronald then noticed a doorbell beside the door. "Um, dear, I believe we ought to ring the door

    Therefore, I would like you to inform the bank manager of my situation," Steven requested. "Is that truly necessary?" Barrister Robert questioned. "Yes, although I am aware the bank manager may take pleasure in my unfortunate circumstances, as he holds me in disdain. Nevertheless, I do not care," Steven elucidated. "Steven, may I offer advice as a friend rather than as your barrister?" Barrister Robert asked. "Of course, you may," Steven replied. "I would advise against informing your bank manager or colleagues about this case. Given that it is a murder charge and you just mentioned that the bank manager harbours animosity towards you, it would be prudent to keep this information private. If he does not hear from you, he may assume you resigned due to his disdain, which may be the preferable outcome," Barrister Robert suggested. After contemplating Barrister Robert's counsel for a few moments, Steven agreed, "I believe you are correct, Barrister. I will follow your advice.
