Rewriting My Heart's Fate

"Evelyn, let's go," Ethan whispered softly in my ear. His tone was full of affection. "There's still so much we need to do, isn't there?" I nodded eagerly and flashed him my brightest smile. We bid goodbye to the guests and walked hand in hand out of the venue.

Not far away, a luxury car awaited us. Ethan, ever the gentleman, opened the door for me, and I sank into the soft leather seats.

My heart was racing with excitement. Everything that happened tonight felt surreal, as though I were in a dream.

Suddenly, Ethan chuckled. "Starting tomorrow, we'll begin preparations for establishing the Lendora branch and start thinking about the theme for next season's designs."

I nodded eagerly. "No problem, leave it to me. I won't let you down!"

The car sped through the night. The glowing lights of the bustling city slowly faded as we drove on. I could barely contain my excitement as I watched the ever-changing scenery outside the window.

This was the first time I was out alone with Ethan. Though it was a business trip, I couldn't help but feel the deep emotions stirring inside me.

"Mr. Grayson, where are we going?" I asked curiously.

He smiled. "You don't know? We're going to scout locations for the Lendora branch."
