"It was a hard day but we are ready to open the business tomorrow." At some point, Ana joined Ethan and Mary when they went shopping together.
While Ana and Mary selected furniture, decorations, and other things needed for the small restaurant, Ethan disappeared after leaving them alone and only returned when it was time for payment.
Ana had followed Mary for the chance to show the woman that she was Ethan's girlfriend. Ethan belongs to her, but at some point, she realizes Mary is not trying to gain Ethan's attention.
She is good at her work and diligently completes any task given. Guilt hurt her chest and she looked away, ignoring the sweetness in Mary's voice.
"As long as you both can handle it." Ethan chuckled as he looked at the lots of bags on the table.
"My father would be horrified to know you have so much hidden wealth. How many nights had he not slept worrying that he had to return your money? What if you needed it." Ana shook her head, a hint of curiosity in her voice too, "I wonder how you get the money though? I am sure selling meat is not enough for this feat."
He smiled at her mysteriously but she kept staring at him waiting for his reply.
"Let's say there is a golden goose I have found, it is ready to give money whenever I require it." he grinned like a fool but his eyes were full of guile that left tingles down her spine and her toes curled.
"Last night.." she whispered, "are we going to do it again?" she was surprised to hear the seductiveness in her voice. But looking at his eyes filled with lust, she felt bold.
"It depends on your performance," he whispered and she blushed.
"What kind of performance?" her lips puckered as she asked coyly only for him to lean closer.
"Your performance in the restaurant. Since we are opening tomorrow, your support matters a lot." she rolled her eyes when he chuckled at her. But still, she felt thrilled that he would have a better business if it worked well in the future. She smiled and nodded.
She was still flirting with him when the door knocked and opened by a tall young woman. She was wearing a tight brown uniform and had a stern and cold look on her face.
But her face was fair and cold, looking like an ice queen. Her cold and sharp eyes looked refined and had a noble aura around her like an ice queen.
She scanned the room and her eyes paused on Ethan. With a narrowed look,
"Are you starting a new business here?" The woman in the uniform took out a badge and showed it to Ethan when he nodded.
"I am from the food corporation department. You have not taken the license before starting the restaurant. You can not open it without our permission.'' Her voice was calm but stern with a hint of coldness as she scanned the surroundings of her room.
"Wait! You did not apply for the license?" he had! He had done it that moment he had paid for the lease amount. He had even filled in the details and paid the fee. It was supposed to be delivered today.
But he did not reply to it. He stared at the women who had visited him. The badge was not fake. And she did not look like she was here to create trouble.
"Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?" he asked in a polite but calm tone. There was no hint of panic on his face when he smiled at her. "I remember that I have applied for the contract and I have paid the fees to Mr. Cornell. He had said that it would only take a week to get the license if I paid a bit more."
The woman's eyes narrowed and a deep frown settled on her face. It was clear that she was not impressed by the reply.
"How about we go and confirm in the office." he initiated when it looked like she was going to ask him to follow her.
With a solemn face, she nodded and turned to leave.
"Help Mary and do not create trouble," he warned Ana before following the officer.
She was on the bike. When Ethan came out, she was already sitting on her bike, waiting for him. Her uniform was fitted and her pants were tight. He could see a heart-shaped ass and a slim waist.
She must have trained hard to get such a great ass.
"Are you coming or not?" she called him in a sharp voice when he followed and sat behind her.
Without any hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her waist making her stiff for a second.
"What are you doing?" her voice filled with daggers but he just looked at her innocently.
"You are going to drive the bike fast. So I am taking precautions. Why? Is there something that matters, officer?" her lips smacked into a thin line. She wanted to beat this man.
But in her position, she could not accept that she was concerned about a man holding her waist when she was surrounded by the men all the time. She pursed her lips and kicked on the accelerator. To teach this ruffian a lesson, she rode the bike faster than normal.
But speed was the last thing Ethan was afraid of. His eyes were on her elegant and slender neck which shone like white pearls, how he wanted to pinch the back of her neck and see if it left any marks. He smiled at that thought.
After being with Ana, he was getting more and more unbridled. Even her waist. It was so slim and so perfect. How much would she shout if he held her by her waist and took her from behind? This was a good bike ride. He would like to have it often. Should he break the rules often to enjoy it?
Suddenly the bike stopped rashly. A normal person might have lost their balance but when the officer turned at Ethan with a smirk on her face, it stiffened.
"It was a nice ride, thank you, officer."
