"Ula, can you explain to me why you decided to go with that woman?" Ethan spoke up, breaking the silence. He couldn't bear the discomfort any longer, even though he had already learned about the situation from the criminals' confessions and the woman who had lured Ula. But he wanted Ula to share everything with him, from her thoughts to her personal perspective and decisions."Which woman?" Ula snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Ethan, feigning innocence.Ethan realized that Ula was pretending to be clueless, especially to avoid addressing the issue that had occurred. In Ethan's opinion, Ula might feel ashamed of her foolish actions, or perhaps she didn't trust him. Regardless of how Ula felt, Ethan still wanted her to open up to him. That's why he made a calculated move to breach her defenses."The woman I happened to see you talking to in the garden and then willingly following her to her car."Upon hearing Ethan's revelation, Ula was briefly surprised, wondering how Ethan knew

"Ula, you're very skilled in your behavior and eloquent," Jade praised. After a moment of joy from Ula's compliments, Jade returned to a serious tone with a candid comment: "I believe with these qualities, customers will definitely be satisfied with you.""Thank you for trusting me, Jade," Ula sincerely replied. "But to make the most of my abilities, I need your help a lot. Please help me get a chance to be chosen by the customers tonight.""I will do my best," Jade assured."I will also try not to disappoint you," Ula politely responded."How many times have you slept with him? Do you have much experience?" Jade changed the subject, knowing the question was delicate, but she needed more information for negotiations to proceed smoothly. Additionally, if necessary, Jade was ready to offer Ula useful advice or tricks to cater to the customer and make them happy."I haven't slept with him," Ula stated firmly, as if understanding the implied question from Jade. "Up to this point, I'm stil

Under the dim lights, Ethan could not hide his feelings of sorrow and pity for Ula. Why did Ula end up in this state? Wasn't it simply her fate? Not quite. Ethan felt it was his fault, and he blamed himself for contributing to Ula's suffering. If Ethan had not acted foolishly, out of control, and with insane jealousy, Ula would not hate him so much that she would rather self-destruct than humble herself to beg for his help. Or, if Ethan had not come to the hotel to look for Ula, she would have received Uri's dedicated help. Although Ethan did not like the idea of Ula being grateful to and being with Uri, it would have been better if it were so. Everything would not have been as bad as it is now. After all, everything started with a misunderstanding, but Ethan could not help but feel guilty and aware of the responsibility he had toward Ula. Not only because of what he had done to her, but also because he loved her. Truly, love is a damnable emotion that makes Ethan, the arrogant and d

"Ethan Thomas," Ula whispered, unable to restrain her emotions as she gently touched his hair. Ula tried her best not to wake him. "I apologize for treating you coldly and harshly. But you know, it's all because I'm haunted by the terrible things you did to me. I hate you; I even loathe you. But now, I..." Pausing for a moment to catch her breath, Ula could continue. "I didn't expect you to save me. I don't understand why you did it, but I sincerely thank you so much. Please recover quickly. I will pray for you." Ethan heard Ula's voice in a dreamlike state, desiring to open his eyes to see her by his side. However, consciousness woke up in time, reminding him of a very legitimate concern. Finally, Ethan decided to deliberately pretend to still be asleep to avoid the awkwardness of an unprepared meeting for both of them. Ethan was confident that Ula probably felt similarly to him, which is why she chose to silently visit him. Taking advantage of the moment while he was asleep, she co

"Hello, Ula, so glad to see you again," Lisa responded warmly with a fond smile. "Same here," Ula said, her voice choked with emotion. Lisa then turned to Ethan, speaking with a formal tone, "Hello, Mr. Ethan. I'm also delighted to see you again." Ethan nodded to Lisa instead of speaking. "What's going on? Can anyone tell me? I'm about to go crazy with curiosity. It's unbearable." Ula asked, perplexed. She looked from Lisa to Ethan, expecting an explanation. "From today onwards, I'll be working here," Lisa announced cheerfully. "I look forward to your help, Ula." "Really?" Ula exclaimed, taken aback by the news. "I asked Lisa to come back as the housekeeper," Ethan explained to help Ula understand. "She will take care of the entire house, including cooking for us." "Why didn't you tell me anything about this?" Ula asked, with a hint of reproach. "I wanted to surprise you," Ethan maintained, his gaze warm. "It certainly took me by surprise," Ula admitted. "Moreover, last tim
