The atmosphere in the room was tense as I gazed across the table at Ethan, the silence only accentuating the anxiety that was building up inside me. I slowly asked him the question that had been weighing on my mind, "Where did you go that day?"
Ethan's calm voice broke the silence, "Dubai."
My heart skipped a beat upon hearing his answer, as I realized that there was only one reason why he would have gone there - the girl that Noah had mentioned as Ethan's fiancée. I wondered why Ethan had gone to see her. Was it for business or something more personal?
I asked, "Why did you go there?" My anxiety was almost getting the better of me, and I could feel it in my voice.
Ethan's response was casual, "It wasn't anything important. I had to take care of something as Uncle asked."
I wasn't sure what to make of his answer, and my mind was filled with questions. Why wasn't he mentioning her? I decided to probe further, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
