All Chapters of Falling For My Arrogant Boss: Chapter 21 - Chapter 25

The lights snapped on.Rose blinked hard, her vision clearing—And then everything inside her went still.The man standing in the doorway wasn’t a stranger.Her breath caught.“…No.”Jason’s grip on her tightened instantly.“You know him?” he asked sharply.Rose couldn’t answer.Because she did.Ethan Cole.Standing there like nothing had changed.Like he hadn’t disappeared from her life without a trace.Like he wasn’t now holding a file with her name on it.“Rose,” Ethan said softly.Jason stepped in front of her immediately.Blocking him.“Don’t say her name,” Jason said, voice low.Ethan’s gaze flicked to him.Calm.Unbothered.“And you must be Jason.”That made Jason’s posture harden.“How do you know me?” he asked.Ethan lifted the file slightly.“I make it a point to know things that matter.”Rose stepped out from behind Jason before he could stop her.“How are you here?” she demanded.Jason’s hand caught her wrist.“Rose—”She pulled free.“I’m talking to him.”That alone shift
