Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 176

Ines was woken up early by the smell of food cooking. When she got up and ready, she found Ethan bustling around the kitchen, humming a little tune. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Ines had never seen Ethan like this. She couldn't resist slowing down her steps, quietly walking up behind him and wrapping her arms around his waist. She deliberately asked loudly, “What are you up to, Mr. Meyer?”

She was trying to startle him, but instead, he quickly spun around, pushed her on the fridge, and gave her a passionate French kiss. Ines leaned against his chest, playing with the buttons on his shirt. "Why weren't you scared?" She asked.

"I recognized your footsteps. I knew it was you the moment you stepped out of the bedroom." He deliberately didn't turn around because he wanted to see what Ines was up to. He certainly didn't expect her to try to scare him, but he was not someone who got easily frightened.

However, since she was the one who initiated it, he wasn't going to let her off easily.

Ines followed his gaze and saw a bunch of snacks on the table. She asked, "You didn't leave the house after we got home last night, when did you get these things? "

"I had Lucas bring them over early in the morning." What he didn't tell her was that he remembered he wanted to get her something to eat in the middle of the night and ended up calling Lucas.

Ines couldn't help but shake her head, thinking that being Ethan's secretary must be tough. Not only doing secretary work but also playing babysitter.

"I think you should give Lucas a raise," Ines suggested seriously.

"Lucas's salary is adjusted annually. He is already well paid."

Ines stared at Ethan in disbelief. A secretary's salary was so high.

She always thought that being a certified public accountant was a high-paying job. If the firm she worked for was doing well, she could make a lot of money in a year. However, she never expected that the secretary's salary at the Meyer Group was several times higher.

"Had I known that being a secretary was so lucrative, I would have studied that. Does the Meyer Group hire non-professionals? I might change careers once I recover."

"There are only a few secretaries at the Meyer Group. No matter what profession, there are people who excel and those who don't. Lucas happens to be at the top of his field."

"With a secretary's salary being so high, I wonder how much a CEO earns?" Ines asked curiously.

Ethan chuckled. They had been married for half a year, and she had never touched his bank card. "Mrs. Meyer, have you forgotten something? I gave you my bank card a long time ago. You can check the balance anytime you want."
