ETHAN'S POV
"I didn't even sleep a wink working all night long on this darn proposal only to be stood up and be told that I have to be patient. The almighty Ethan Smith stood up!" he scoffed lazily as he swirled the wine glass in his hand.
"I'm sorry sir but -"
" Sorry doesn't cut it, I wasted a whole 30 minutes waiting for a man who will offer me a deal that'll only offer me less than 5% of my monthly earnings and you're telling me sorry?" Ethan stood and strode towards the door and halted on his steps as he was about to close the door behind him, "Just let Mr Rogers know that the deal no longer stands" he then closed the door and Mr Rogers Secretary - Rex- stood there dumbfounded as he was trembling from the dark and terrifying aura Ethan was eminating.
"Phew, talk about terrifying. I feel sorry for his would be wife" Rex said as he came out of his trance.
Outside the Roger's fashion house a black Maybach SUV was parked with Levy standing next to it. Levy is known to be Ethan's closest friend and most trusted accomplice, his right hand man.
"Are we headed back to the SG for the interviews or the golf course for that scheduled appointment?" Levy asked nonchalantly.
" The Smith Group first, although the interviews will have to be rescheduled to Friday morning" Ethan answered without averting his gaze from the tablet in his hands.
" Ethan, Bella called and she-" Levy couldn't finish his sentence due to the shivers that ran down his spine due to Ethan's change in mood. As soon as they arrived at the Company they went for the elevator and headed for the HR section of the building. Ethan was going through some papers when something, or should he say someone crashed into him.
She was a petite, with perfectly fitting curves that were briefly evident from the dress she had on.Her burgundy colored hair neatly tied up in a pony tail with a few stands of it cascading down to her cheekbones. Her innocent face, amber eyes and plump and lucious lips had him in a spell for some seconds like a siren calling out to him and him only. He was pulled out of his trance by her melodious voice as she spouted an apology.
"My apologies sir, I am kind of in a hurry so I didn't see you approaching" she said with her head bowed.
" Just move along and be sure not to cross paths with me again, lest you wanna see me puking at the sight of your average and underkept self" Ethan answered in his ever so indifferent tone. The lady in front of him seemed to be p*ssed by his reply and she made a comeback.
"If there's anyone who will be puking here is me, due to this your stinking attitude, it was an honest mistake, which I have already rectified and also apologized for it, if that isn't enough for you then I'm afraid it can't be helped" without even awarding him another gaze she walked away from him.
" How dare she and who the hell is she to even have the bravery to spout such nonsense and in such a manner with me" Ethan muttered disbelievingly under his breath. Levy stood there in awe at the scene he just witnessed. 'The mighty Ethan seems to have met a match' Levy thought to himself as he smiled sheepishly.

They then proceeded to the conference room where interviews were supposed to be held. He then ordered for the 5 interviewees to be informed of the change in plans. Ethan's presence had all the ladies around him swooning over his underworldly beauty. He was like a god in human form, the lord of coldness that is.
Ethan then left the office and got to his car after ordering Levy to cancel his meetings for the day. He was maddened by the fact that Mr Rogers had the gal to make him wait without any sort of explanation. Not that it bothered him much but he felt disrespected and wanted to go cool off.
" Scai, tell us how did it do?" Snowy asked cheerfully as soon as the door opened showing Scarlet's silhouette. Scarlet was exhausted as she had to walk back home all the way form the furthest bus terminal.
" it didn't go at all Snow, it was all in vain" she replied as she strode towards Hazels room
"wha - what do you mean by that?"
"The interviews are rescheduled to 2
