Ethan had moved to Adrian's house, he stayed at separate house beside the main house, he stayed there with Adrian's old driver family Jack He. Jack He had lived there since he was married with his wife Heidy, they had ten years old son Jason. Heidy worked there also as a maid. Ethan's room was separated from Jack's house, the door was in the back of the house, the former driver used to live in that room, but since he died a year ago the room was empty and Ethan had to clean them up before he entered the room. Heidy helped him to clean up the room and asked him to have dinner together after that.
Ethan :"How long have you worked here brother Jack ?"
Jack :"Maybe fifteen years, maybe more, I don't know I forgot."
Ethan :"Wow, that long ?"
Jack :"Mr. Siauw is a kind man, you should be nice and loyal to him, you'll get a lot benefit from him then !"
Ethan :"I see."
Jack :"He paid my son's school fees all this time, he even took him to a nice school near here. He treated us just like his own family."
Ethan :"Ouw that's very kind of him."
Jack :"I heard you went to law school ? How come you be a driver to Ms. Siauw ?"
Ethan :"Oh I haven't finished my school yet. I'm Ms. Siauw's assistant also."
Jack :"Oh so that way. You should be careful with Ms. Siauw she's a hot tempered girl, because her parents spoiled her since she was a child. But if you can win her heart she will give you anything hahaha..."
Ethan smiled :"I see...."
The next day Ethan started his day as personal bodyguard to Karina, he woke up very early then had some breakfast prepared by Heidy.
Ethan :"Morning Ms. Siauw."
Karina :"Morning Ethan, how is your wound ?"
Ethan :"It's getting better, how about my CT scan result ?"
Karina :"I haven't check it, let's go to the hospital now to see it."
Ethan :"OK"
The doctor said there's nothing serious about Ethan, they just stop by a while at the hospital then they went to the office directly. They used the ordinary employee's elevator and it was very full that morning, Ethan covered up Karina with his body. They heard some people bad mouthing Karina in that elevator, she got frowned but her tears was about to fall down also, Ethan saw it he just silent and he gave her his handkerchief. She didn't have a choice she just took it and wipe her tears away, she tried to walk out calmly when the elevator door opened at her floor. When she got into her office room, she couldn't bear her tears anymore, she covered her face with her hands.
Karina :"Am I that bad ? Why everyone doesn't like me ?"
Ethan heaved a heavy sight, he tried to choose some nice words to calm her down :"No, you're not that bad, you're just need some times to adjust to them and understand them more."
Karina :"Why everything I do seems not right, what should I do then ?"
Ethan :"Just calm down, I'll help you to adjust to them. You have your own strength, it's just you didn't notice it yet."
Karina :"Do you think so ? Do you think I'm fit to this job ?"
Ethan :"Sure, just do your best, I will assist you."
Karina :"I lost my confidence because of yesterday incident Ethan. Did I do something bad ? Why did people wanted to harm me so badly like that ?"
Ethan :"I think you didn't do anything wrong, those people just envy you so they just wanted to scare you ! Don't think about them again, just show your best since you won the bid."
Karina :"But I'm not sure I can do it now, I'm so confuse now. Tell me what should I do Ethan ?"
Ethan :"If you're not sure you can do it, then give the case to other department. But if you still wanna do it, I'll help you till the end."
Karina :"Really ? Are you sure we will win this case ?"
Ethan :"Yes"
Karina :"Alright then, let's do it. Tell Andrea and George we'll have a meeting in thirty minutes."
Ethan :"OK"
Karina's suddenly felt secure and she got her confident back because Ethan had convinced her. To Ethan it would be a hard work for him to win the case, but he confident he could do it. With Andrea and George back up as finance and tax expert they finally could win the case successfully. Karina was very happy, they celebrated their victory that night, Ethan took them to the Bar where Franky work, they met Marco there too.
Karina :"Hi Marco are you regular here ?"
Marco :"Yeah, how are you doing Ethan ?"
Ethan :"Great, we've won a case lately, now we want to celebrate it. Frank give us some nice to drink here."
Franky :"OK"

Ethan :"From my brother ... Franky come here, this is my boss Karina, this is my brother Franky."
Karina :"Hi, nice to meet you ! So you guys all meet up in here regularly ?"
Ethan :"Yeah you may say so. I used to work here, but since I had some classes at night I can't work here anymore. My brother then replaced me."
Franky :"Nice to meet you too, here are your drinks."
Karina :"Hmm... nice, you mix them by yourself ?"
Franky :"Yeap"
Andrea :"Hmm the taste is strong !"
George :"Nice... I want more !"
Franky :"Thank you for your compliments."
Marco :"Franky is good at mixing some drinks, he's expert now !"
Franky :"You're to over compliment bro Mark ! I'm still learning, still need some improvements."
Karina :"You're interesting Frank, I like you !"
Franky smiled, she served them well that night.
Ethan :"Enough George, you've drunk already !"
George :"No, I'm not. I still want more, give me some more drinks !"
Ethan :"Karina I think we should go home now. I've called brother Jack to pick up us now."
Karina :"I want bro Marco send me home !"
Marco :"I'm sorry, I have drank also Karina. I can't drive."
Karina hugged Marco :"But I want you !"
Marco gave Karina to Ethan :"Ethan take her home with you, I heard you live at her house now ?"
Ethan :"Yes, come on Karina, you're drunk."
Ethan took the drunk Karina to the car, then he called taxy for Andrea and George. Marco helped Ethan took the drunk George to the taxy, then he got back to Franky.
Marco :"So, what about my offer last time ? Will you move to my house ?"
Franky :"Yes, I will move to your house next week."
Marco :"OK just tell me when and I will help you move your stuffs."
Franky :"OK. And about the pay...."
Marco :"I've decided you don't need to pay me anything. Just give your money to other who needs like your mom or brother and sister ?"
Franky :"Well, then let me do the house chores for you."
Marco :"OK, we'll talk about them again later, if you've moved to my house."
Two days later, Ethan came to his apartment to get his other stuffs, he met Franky there, she's packing up her stuffs also.
Franky :"I've decided I'll move to Marco's house starting tomorrow."
Ethan :"Are you sure ?"
Franky :"Yes, why not ? He told me that he will hire me to manage his restaurant someday also."
Ethan :"Have you told him that you're a girl ?"
Franky :"No, why should I tell him ?"
Ethan :"If he know it by himself someday he'll get mad at you, cause you're not being honest with him. If you both living together he'll know it sooner or later, so you'd better tell him now."
Franky :"I will hide my secret well, don't worry brother."
Ethan :"As you wish, I've warned you before. Take care yourself well !"
Franky :"You too."
