"Hmm… that woman's ability is really great," thought Ethan when he had finished reading the document sent by Carolina. As soon as he arrived at his parents' house in Indonesia, suddenly an email came in.
FA: "This is the work you ordered. The time limit for a complaint is 1 x 24 hours after this email was sent. If you complain after that, I won't give you the refund!"
After reading the email, Ethan couldn't help but spend the afternoon reading the report first. He has already paid almost 5 billion rupiah and if the report is not good, he can get a 15 billion rupiah refund.
Knock… knock… knock…
Ethan, who was stretching his body from sitting too long and reading the report on his laptop, turned to the door that was knocked.
"Come in," he replied. The door opened to reveal the figure of Tuti, Wati's daughter, their family servant, standing there looking shy.
"Oh… you, Tuti, right? What is wrong?" asked Ethan.
"Do you remember my name? Omo omo omo! What dream did I have last night! Kyaa!" Tuti suddenly became hysterical and excited. Her oppa… which she usually only saw on her cellphone screen was now not far in front of her and again, her oppa remembered her name!
As a fan, Tuti has succeeded!
"Yes," replied Ethan, smiling at Tuti's behavior, "so what is it?" he continued.
Tuti immediately came back to her senses when she heard Ethan's voice again, "Ko and Ci are already waiting for oppa downstairs for dinner, do you want to come down or do you want the food to be delivered here?"
"It's dinner time," Ethan muttered, glancing at the clock on his laptop screen, "I'll go downstairs after changing first," continued Ethan, who still hasn't changed clothes since coming from South Korea.
"Ah! Yes," said Tuti but still stood in front of Ethan's room.
When she heard that Ethan was going to change clothes, Tuti's mind went all over the place.
"Does Ethan oppa have abs? Am I going to see oppa's body soon?"
"Hm.. what else?" asked Ethan because Tuti was just silent in front of his room.
But her mind immediately returned to normal when she heard Ethan's voice, her face immediately turned red from embarrassment at thinking about such nonsense
"Ah! N-no more," said Tuti then immediately grabbed the doorknob of Ethan's room and closed the door again.
While Ethan just looked at Tuti confusedly, he then stood up and immediately changed clothes.

"Good evening, papa, mama, sorry I'm late," said Ethan when he saw his parents sitting at the dining table and waiting for him. His father was sitting in the chair of the head of the family, while his mother was sitting on the chair to the right of his father. Ethan then immediately sat down in the chair opposite his mother.
"Miss Wati, please serve the food," said Baek Hyeon.
"All right," said Wati who was not far from there.
"Are you going straight back to South Korea tomorrow?" asked Baek Hyeon while Wati was preparing their food.
"Ah yes, my drama shooting is not finished yet," replied Ethan.
"Hmph! Why do you seem so busy when you must only get a supporting role, right? Mama told you to start your career in the business world!" Jia Li suddenly said with a displeased expression.
"Although a supporting player, Ethan oppa often gets a part, ci! In every episode, oppa always appears," Tuti who was bringing food to help her mother said when she heard Jia Li's words.
"Tuti!" Wati scolds because she feels Tuti has interfered. Tuti finally fell silent again.
Seeing that Tuti seemed to know about Ethan's career, Baek Hyeon asked, "Oh, you watched the drama with Ethan in it?"
Tuti was a little surprised because Ko, who was usually quiet, suddenly asked her, "Yeah, I'm a big fan of Ethan oppa even before knowing that Ethan oppa is ko and ci's son, Ethan oppa's acting is cool you know, oppa even got the best new award actor in the second drama that he starred in,"
Ethan who was listening to that just smiled.
"Finally there is someone wants to say this to papa and mama! Will they now fully support me?" thought Ethan
"But it's also strange, usually the actors after getting an award, the project must be the main character after that," continued Tuti again.
"Doesn't that mean he doesn't deserve to be the main character? He might just be lucky to get that award," said Jia Li coldly making the smile that was etched on Ethan's face suddenly disappear.
Baek Hyeon initially wanted to hear how his son's career was and after hearing it, he felt proud. Doesn't that mean his youngest son has potential in acting?
But apparently, his wife's mind is not like that. Before they could argue again, Baek Hyeon immediately said,
"Ahem, let's eat," said Baek Hyeon.
Ethan just kept quiet and started to take his food. He was tired of arguing with his mother. If his mother thinks that his achievements are not much, then he will work even harder and prove it.
He swore he would make his mother recognize him as an actor!

"Looks like there aren't any fans waiting," thought Ethan when he arrived at the office but still didn't get out of the car and just stood there in the parking lot. He glanced left and right to see if there were fans waiting for him, after confirming that there were no signs of fans in his office, Ethan got out of his car.
"Wow, Sir Ethan! Good morning, sir!" the security guard that Ethan met last week greeted him, but it was different from last week, now his name was known by the security guard.
"Yeah, good morning too, it seems the atmosphere in the office has returned to normal, huh!" said Ethan, trying to small talk.
"Since Friday, it's been back to normal, sir, but before… so many people came, especially Tuesday since the news of Sir Ethan went viral. I just found out that the red-haired person who came last week turned out to be the new CEO and a Korean artist," said the security guard.
"Oh, I see. Your work is good. Even though you didn't know my identity, you greeted me warmly. Keep it up! Cheer up!" Ethan said raising his fist that had been clenched into a fist.
"Cheer up sir!" replied the security guard.
Ethan then stepped into the office, but after only a few steps, Ethan heard the security guard's voice again.
"Good morning, Miss Carol,"
"Good morning, sir," replied Carolina, who had just arrived. She was just about to enter the office but her steps stopped when she saw a red-haired man who was not far from her and was looking at her.
"The red apple has returned to the office, sigh... it's still early in the morning and I just met him, it is ruining the good weather," thought Carolina, who saw Ethan.
"What's wrong Miss Carol? Why did you stop… Ah, Sir Ethan hasn't come in yet. Could it be that miss Carol is a fan of Sir Ethan, right? You were stunned when you saw Sir Ethan in front of you" said the security guard and concluded. Usually, Carolina when she finished greeting him would immediately go up to the elevator after greeting the receptionist and this was the first time the security guard saw Carolina who was silent in her place.
"Ah, no, sir," said Carolina, realizing that the security guard was still watching her.
"It's okay, i understand. Women at your age must like Koreans, right? Oh, right, Sir Ethan, this is miss Carol, an intern here, I think she is a fan of Sir Ethan so she is stunned when she sees Sir Ethan," the security guard introduced Carolina to Ethan. Scared that Ethan thought Carolina was an outsider with nothing to do with NamTech.
Carolina glanced at the security guard and tried to refute it, but since Carolina still said it politely and gently, the security guard thought Carolina was just being shy about approaching Ethan. Seeing that, the security guard walked over to Ethan.
"It's okay miss Carol, it's okay if you want to take a close look, is it okay, right, sir Ethan?" asked the security guard, trying to help Carolina get a close look at her idol and asking Ethan if he didn't mind. He approached Ethan thinking Carolina was embarrassed to approach Ethan alone.
Ethan looked at Carolina with amusement, it was clear in his eyes that Carolina was trying very hard not to curse at the security guard who had come to a conclusion.
"Ah, so you're my fan. Come here, do you want an autograph or a photo with oppa?" asked Ethan in an amused tone.
Carolina looked at Ethan with a cold stare as if to say, "Oppa your mouth!"
