Ethan’s strides quickened as he approached Lily, his sharp eyes seeing right through her facade. Yet, despite knowing she wasn’t being truthful, his pulse inexplicably quickened. Arching an eyebrow, he questioned with a hint of amusement, “Really?”

“Of course! Can’t you see I’m standing right here beside your car?” she replied, feigning confidence.

Ethan’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “Alright, I’ll take your word for it. Now, get in the car.”

Lily’s composure faltered as his command made her uneasy. Narrowing her eyes, she asked, “And why exactly should I get in your car?”

Ethan’s smirk deepened, and he leaned in slightly, his voice low but teasing. “Oh? Would you prefer I kiss you right here instead? That’s fine with me. But what will you do if the paparazzi snap a photo of us? Imagine the headlines.”

Her eyes darted around nervously, suddenly aware of their surroundings. This wasn’t a place she could risk being seen with Ethan. The potential fallout was enough to make her stomach churn. With a resigned sigh, she moved to open the back door of his car.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Ethan’s voice cut through the air, cold and firm. “Do I look like your chauffeur, Lily?”

Lily froze, her hand on the door handle. She turned to glare at him, a silent accusation in her eyes. When did I ever call him a driver?

Grumbling under her breath, she stepped away and reluctantly slid into the front passenger seat. Ethan’s grin widened as he watched her comply. Turning his attention to Mia, who stood nearby, he said cheerfully, “Sister Mia, I’ll be taking her with me.”

Lily’s brows knitted together in confusion. “Sister Mia isn’t coming with us?”
