Mia leaned closer to Lily, curiosity lighting up her face. Lily, I have a gay friend who’s an expert in relationships. Do you think I should ask him for advice and pass it along to the boss? Maybe he’d be so happy, he’d give me a bonus!” she said, brainstorming ways to help her superior.

Lily chuckled and nodded. “That’s actually a great idea, Sister Mia. Let’s help our boss with his relationship with CEO Ethan. Just don’t forget to share the credit if you get that bonus.”

Meanwhile, in his office, Mr. Parker sat brooding, his face clouded with hesitation: He dreaded having a conversation with Ethan. But as a thought struck him, he suddenly burst into laughter.

Mustering up his courage, he called Ethan. “Ethan… hahaha! Your woman thinks you’re gay! Hahaha! How do you plan on courting her now?” he teased.

Ethan’s voice was calm but ominous. “It seems I’ll have to visit you soon.”

Mr. Parker laughter abruptly stopped. “Haha… No need, Ethan. I was just joking!” he stammered nervously before quickly changing the subject. “So, when are you going to meet her?”

“Soon.” Ethan replied succinctly.

“Alright, take care then,” Mr. Parker said, feeling relieved. But as he hung up, a smile spread across his face. This devil does have some feelings after all.

However, his relief was short–lived. Ethan’s parting words came back to haunt him. “Not you… her.”

Mr. Parker face fell. He muttered indignantly, “I take back what I said! This devil is heartless. All he cares about is Lily!”
