Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 132 You Look So Cute When You're Shy

Sitting behind Ethan's desk, I spotted a document chillin' on the clean surface.

Sure, it wasn't weird to see papers there, but when I casually flipped through it, Faris's name jumped out at me.

Just as I was about to dive deeper, the document got snatched away.

I looked up and there was Ethan, standing right in front of me, holding the document.

I hadn't even heard him come in.

"When did you get here?" he asked.

I got up from the fancy chair and said, "Just a bit ago."

Ethan walked around, plopped down in the chair I was just in, pulled out a key, opened a drawer, tossed the document in, and locked it up.

I wanted to ask about the document, but I bit my tongue. He'd told me before to steer clear of Faris, and I didn't want him getting any ideas.

"I heard from the assistant there's some drama at the construction site. Everything cool?" I asked.

Ethan cracked his neck a couple of times, pulled me onto his lap, and said in that low, magnetic voice of his, "Don't sweat it. Why waste your brain cells on that? Overthinking makes you age faster." Suddenly in Ethan's arms, surrounded by his strong scent, I was slow to react.

After a bit, I muttered, "Then why don't you age from all your thinking? God must really like you."

Ethan grinned and said, "Because my kidneys are strong. Haven't you noticed?"

Even though it was true, I pretended not to care and huffed. "You really think highly of yourself."

Ethan's eyes narrowed, and he leaned in closer, lowering his voice.

"Did you forget? Need me to remind you right now?"

"Are you shy?" Ethan teased, his voice all husky.

"Honey, you look so cute when you're shy."

Suddenly, a cough interrupted us, making me jump. I instinctively turned my head to look.

But Ethan held my head in place, continuing his kiss, slow and savoring like he was enjoying a gourmet meal.

When he finally let go, I quickly stood up from his lap, embarrassed, and looked towards the door.

To my surprise, it was Faris standing there, arms crossed, smirking like he was watching a soap opera.

I lowered my head, straightening my slightly messed-up clothes, feeling super awkward.

Faris walked in slowly, smiling. "Looks like I came at a bad time."
