Chapter 35 

Hearing Lily’s furious account, Mia’s own anger ignited. The very idea that someone dared to take advantage of her artist was enough to make her blood boil.

Who is it? Who had the audacity to bully you? Tell me their name right now! Mia demanded, her voice sharp and protective “How dare someone be so shameless under my watch?” 

Seeing the distress written all over Lily’s face, Mia softened slightly and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Lily, don’t worry. You have me and Boss Parker on your side. Just tell me who this pervert is, and I’ll make sure they regret it!” 

Lily hesitated, her lips parting to reveal the culprit’s name, but a knock on the door interrupted her 

“Come in,” Mia called out, still seething with determination. 

The door swung open, and in walked Ethan, exuding an air of authority and refinement. His presence was magnetic, his every step radiating confidence and dominance. Mia froze in place, her jaw dropping slightly as she processed the sight of him standing in her small, unassuming office. 

Ethan was a figure of admiration, practically worshipped by countless fans. Wherever he went, people couldn’t help but be drawn to his charisma and aura. For Mia, who had always been a quiet admirer, seeing him up close felt almost surreal. 

“Hello, Sister Mia,” Ethan greeted her with a warm smile. While he wasn’t typically polite to others, he had a favorable impression of Mia because Lily often referred to her as “sister.” 

Mia’s heart skipped a beat. Did… did he just call me sister? Her inner fan was in full meltdown mode, and she could barely maintain her professional composure. Her eyes sparkled with awe as she stared at him. 

Ethan’s movements were fluid and deliberate as he approached Lily. His attention was fixed solely on her, and the moment their eyes met, Lily’s breath hitched. Fear flashed across her face, and she instinctively took a step back, but it was too late. 

In one swift motion, Ethan wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close and enveloping her in a firm embrace. 

“Ah! You… you pervert! Let go of me!” Lily shrieked, struggling against his hold. Her voice was desperate as she called out, “Sister Mia, help me!” 

Mia stood frozen in place, her mind racing to make sense of what she was seeing. The two of them were locked in a peculiar moment, and Mia’s confusion deepened with every passing second. 

What is going on here? she thought, her gaze darting between them. 

Ethan didn’t seem the least bit bothered by Lily’s protests, holding her firmly as if her struggles were nothing more than a mild inconvenience. 

Mia’s thoughts spiraled further. Wait a minute… isn’t CEO Ethan supposed to be gay? Then why is he hugging Lily like this? Could it be… does he actually like her? 

Lily, meanwhile, was practically screaming internally. This shameless man! What does he think he’s doing in front of Sister Mia?! 

Mia finally managed to speak, her voice hesitant. “Lily… are you two… um… involved?”

Mia blinked, her fan mode and professional instincts colliding in a spectacular mess. This situation….. just what am I supposed to do here?! 

Mia’s mind raced with excitement as her imagination ran wild. Watching the two of them embracing, she couldn’t help but squeal inwardly. They looked unexpectedly perfect together. 

If CEO Ethan isn’t gay and he actually likes Lily, this would be incredible! she thought, her heart soaring Only a man of his caliber deserves someone like my Lily. What a power couple they would be! 

Unbeknownst to Lily, her manager had already started pairing her with Ethan in her mind, envisioning their future as a glamorous couple. Meanwhile, Lily was entirely focused on breaking free from his grip 

Ethan, on the other hand, seemed entirely unbothered by her struggles. His lips curled into a playful smile as he bent down slightly and bit her earlobe. 

“Ouch!” Lily flinched, a sharp jolt of pain bringing her resistance to a halt. She froze in shock. Did he just bite me?! 

Before she could lash out, Ethan leaned in and spoke softly, his warm breath tickling her ear. “Just a little reminder,” he said, his voice deep and smooth. “Wait for me after the opening ceremony. I’ll meet you there.” 

“Why?” she managed to ask, her voice trembling with a mix of confusion and frustration. 

“I want my kiss,” he replied casually, as though it was the most natural thing in the world. Then, without waiting for a response, he kissed her gently on the lips and followed it with a light peck on her forehead. “Goodbye. I’ll see you there.” 

Lily stood rooted to the spot, completely dazed. Her mind spun in disbelief. What is happening? Why is this pervert acting like he’s my boyfriend? 

Ethan smirked at her stunned expression, clearly pleased with himself. Then, turning to Mia, who was still squealing like a starstruck fan, he said, “Sister Mia, take care of her for me.” 

“Yes, CEO Ethan!” Mia replied eagerly, straightening up and saluting him as if he were her superior officer. 

Satisfied, Ethan left the room, his presence lingering like a whirlwind. Even as he walked out, Lily’s gaze remained fixed on his retreating figure, her mind a jumble of questions and disbelief. 

The moment the door closed behind him, Mia practically leapt with excitement, giggling uncontrollably. “Lily, what’s going on between you and CEO Ethan? Why did he kiss you? Isn’t he supposed to be gay? And what about poor Boss Parker? Are you two… in a relationship? Oh my, Lily! You and CEO Ethan look so good together! It’s like a match made in heaven!” 

Lily groaned, feeling the weight of the chaotic moment crashing down on her. She walked to a chair, slumped into it, and gulped down a glass of water as if trying to wash away her frustration. 

Mia, not one to miss a beat, followed her and plopped into the chair beside her, pouting.
