Picking up the fork from the floor, Jasmine remained silent and tense for a long time before she finally spoke. "No... That's not a good idea."Ethan stood and fetched Jasmine a clean fork. "Don't overthink it."Jasmine said it was not a good idea; she did not say that it was impossible."Mr. Ethan, don't fight Henry. He's the CEO of SHC Group. The collaboration between Stellar Enterprises and SHC Group is too intricate and significant. Both companies thrive on mutual benefit, prospering and suffering together."Jasmine knew Ethan was already aware of this, but she said it anyway.Ethan remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.The company's interests were paramount, especially given his current precarious situation.However, when it came down to choosing, he had to assess what mattered more.Ethan never thought of himself as someone driven by emotion.In the past, everyone around him said he was too rational, so much so that he seemed cold-blooded.But now, even he fel

At Ethan's place, Jasmine was hiding under the covers, her heart beating fast. Shecould almost hear the pounding of her own heart.The closer Ethan got, the more frantic her heart became.The light inside the covers dimmed, and Jasmine's heart raced up to her throat as she realized Ethan had turned off the lights."I'm dimming the sleeping lamp. Do you like sleeping with your head covered?"Ethan's voice was so soothing that it sent Jasmine's heart racing.Gathering her courage, Jasmine poked her head out of the blanket cocoon, wrapping it tightly around herself as she cautiously eyed Ethan.Lying beside her, Ethan spoke in a deep tone, "Go to sleep."The bed was perhaps too big, Jasmine and Ethan were far apart with quiet stillness between them, neither one uttering another word.Ethan didn't touch her, allowing her to drift peacefully to sleep.Feeling the steady breathing of the person beside him, Ethan turned to gaze at Jasmine, watching her for a long time.He had never really

"Good to meet you, Mr. Branson. I am Mr. Ethan's assistant," Jasmine orchestrated an accidental meeting in Stellar Enterprise and approached Branson. "Mr. Branson, we might be working together more in the future. If there's anything you need, just let me know."Of course, Jasmine was Ethan's assistant, and her attentiveness reflected Ethan's disposition as well.Branson walked into the elevator, a picture of refinement. "You're Jasmine, right? I hope you do well by Mr. Ethan's side.""Of course, Mr. Branson." Jasmine nodded promptly, going out of her way to press the elevator button for him."The company is currently looking for a Deputy CEO candidate. What is Mr. Ethan's thoughts on it?" Branson asked meaningfully, clearly still unsure."Mr. Branson, are you not aware?" Jasmine feigned surprise. "Mr. Branson, Mr. Ethan holds you in high esteem."Smugly satisfied, Branson eyed Jasmine up and down. "You're a smart woman.""You flatter me, Mr. Branson." Jasmine quickly bowed and diligen

All the department employees were at a team-building event, everyone chatting and laughing."Mr. Branson, come have a drink. You'll soon be the deputy CEO. We're counting on your support in the future."Branson sat in the place of honor, reveling in everyone's flattery."Don't put it like that, I'm not worthy," Branson said with a smile, the insincerity plain on his face."If Mr. Branson isn't worthy, then we might as well all leave the company," a few colleagues chimed in, prompting laughter from everyone."Mr. Branson, we've all heard; you're the only choice for deputy CEO. The chairman's confidence in you is one thing, our support is another, and even Mr. Ethan feels threatened-that's the third reason. If not you as Vice President, then who?""Exactly. If the deputy CEO isn't you, we'll all protest.""We can't have that; I haven't incited the staff to create trouble," Branson joked, raising his hand to quiet the crowd.With such strong support from these people, he felt even more c

Jordan was stunned for a moment, shocked as he looked at Ethan and then back at Jasmine. "Jasmine...""Don't you get it?" Ethan's voice was deep.Jordan was intimidated by Ethan, clenching his fists nervously, looking at Jasmine as if pleading for an explanation.Ethan found Jordan laughable.There he was, with a wife and child of his own, never having paid much attention to Jasmine. Now, he was acting like the jilted lover."Ethan, you can't be with Jasmine..." Daniel was getting anxious."Since when do I need your approval for who I'm with?" Ethan's voice was an ominous rumble, making it clear he wasn't here for a peaceful and friendly visit."Bad man!" Justin glared at Daniel angrily.In an unguarded moment, Justin lunged forward and clamped down on Daniel's hand with his teeth."Little bastard!" Daniel cursed in pain, raising his hand to strike Justin.Ethan caught Daniel's wrist and squeezed hard.Daniel's expression twisted in pain, his eyes seething with anger as he faced Ethan
