+ Pearls 

“Don’t try to deny it, Ethan. It’s obvious you’re drunk,” Lily said, shaking her head in disbelief the was utterly taken aback by his behavior. The man she had always known to be calm, collected, and in control was now acting like a child. She had never seen him in this ware before. 

With a heavy sigh, she turned to Assistant Ben. “Please, take these bottles away” 

“Yes, Miss Lily,” Assistant Ben replied promptly. He carefully removed the empty bottles from Ethan’s hands and slipped out of the office, leaving the couple alone. 

Now, the room was silent, except for the faint hum of the air conditioning Lily walked closer to her husband and asked softly. “Ethan, why did you drink so much? Did something happen 

Ethan looked at her with wide, teary eyes, like a child caught doing something wrong “Lily! Don’t hate met I promise I won’t drink again. Please, don’t hate me! I’m so sorry!” he pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation. 

Lily couldn’t help but chuckle at his antics. Drunk Ethan was an entirely new side of him–endearing, innocent, and completely out of character. She had seen many people behave absurdly while drunk, but Ethan was in a league of his own. 

When she didn’t respond immediately, Ethan suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her into a tight hug He buried his face in her shoulder, whining like a little boy seeking forgiveness. “Wifeyyy! Please forgive me! I’m so sorry! My sweetie! My cuticee!” 

Lily froze for a moment, speechless. What is this man even saying? she thought, completely thrown off by his childish behavior. 

“Alright, alright, stop shaking me!” she said, steadying herself as she held his shoulders. 

Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind, and a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes. She smirked at her husband, who continued to cling to her like his life depended on it. “Ethan, do you want me to forgive you?” she asked sweetly. 

Ethan nodded enthusiastically, his drunken state making him even more eager. 

“I’ll forgive you,” Lily said, her smile turning sly, “but only on one condition. Will you do what I ask?” 

Without hesitation, Ethan nodded again. “Yes! Anything for my wifey!” 

“Good!” she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Glancing around the room, her gaze fell on the cameras mounted on the walls. Pointing toward them, she asked casually, “Are the cameras in your office working?” 

Ethan blinked, trying to process her question. “What?” 

“The cameras,” she repeated, her voice patient but firm. “Are they working?” 

He tilted his head, his brow furrowed as he pondered. Then, his face lit up. “Oh, the cameras! Yeah, the ones in my office are working!” he said proudly. 

“Perfect,” Lily said, her laughter bubbling out. She looked far too pleased with herself, and Ethan’s drunk mind couldn’t quite comprehend why. 

Seeing her so delighted, he suddenly leaned closer with a conspiratorial expression. “Wifey, do you want to

He waved her closer with a finger, beckoning her to lean in. Lily hesitated for a moment but eventually obliged, moving closer to hear him. The sharp scent of alcohol hit her nose immediately, making her grimace. 

“Ugh, Ethan! Why did you drink so much? You smell terrible!” she scolded, wrinkling her nose. 

Ethan pouted like a scolded child, looking genuinely hurt. 

“Anyway,” Lily said, shaking her head, “just tell me your secret. What is it?” 

Ethan chuckled softly, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. “Hehe…. Wifey, do you know there’s a hidden camera in my office? A secret one. Nobody knows about it! Not even stupid Ben!” 

Lily’s jaw dropped slightly, but she quickly masked her surprise with a playful smile. Oh, this is going to be interesting, she thought to herself, ready to see where this conversation would lead. 

A hidden camera, huh? Lily thought, her lips curling into a mischievous smile. “Alright, Ethan, if you really want me to forgive you, you’ll have to do something for me,” she said playfully, leaning back into her seat. 

“What is it, Wifey?” Ethan asked with an innocent expression, his drunken gaze fixed on her. 

“You have to dance for me,” she declared, her eyes twinkling with amusement. 

“Dance?” he repeated, tilting his head like a confused puppy. After a beat, he broke into a wide grin. “I’ll dance! Of course, I’ll dance for my Wifey! But wait… there’s no music! How can I dance without a song?” 

Lily chuckled at his enthusiasm. “Hold on, I’ll fix that.” She picked up her phone, scrolled through her playlist, and selected an upbeat party track. Setting the phone on the table, she smiled at her eager husband. “There you go. The stage is all yours.” 

As the music filled the room, Ethan wasted no time. He began to sway his hips, waving his arms dramatically and stomping his feet in rhythm with the song. Despite his occasional unsteady swaying. which had her holding back giggles, Lily found herself impressed. His moves were surprisingly good- playful yet confident. 

She clapped along, thoroughly entertained, until she noticed a mischievous glint in his eyes. Before she could question it, Ethan shot her a playful wink. Her heart skipped a beat. 

And then, to her utter shock, his hands moved to his shirt. Slowly, he undid the first button. 

Her jaw dropped. “E–Ethan…” she stammered, her voice catching in her throat. 

He didn’t stop. With each beat of the song, he unfastened another button, revealing more of his toned chest. Lily’s cheeks turned a deep shade of red as she tried–and failed–to look away. 

By the time the last button was undone, her eyes were glued to him. His sharp collarbone, his chiseled everything was on display, and she couldn’t stop herself from staring. 

“E–Ethan…” she managed to whisper again, her face flushed. 

Grinning like a cat that had caught its prey, Ethan sauntered toward her. He gently cupped her face, his fingers brushing against her cheek as he leaned in. The scent of alcohol lingered in the air, but his sultry smile made her heart race. Just as he was about to shrug off his shirt completely-
