Her words had their intended effect. Ethan froze mid–step, but
then turned back to face her with a bitter expression on his
face.
“Of course you’re worried about him. It’s always about him
now, isn’t it, Olivia? You don’t care about me anymore.””
Olivia’s face remained neutral. She said nothing, knowing that
any response she gave would only fuel his anger.
Then, out of the blue, Ethan shifted toward Xander. Instead of
the confrontation everyone had been bracing for, Ethan
lowered his head slightly.
“I owe you an apology. I haven’t been sincere enough, and for
that, I apologize.”
Ethan leaned down and picked up the bottle of whiskey that
had been sitting untouched. He poured himself a full glass and
held it up. “I need to punish myself for being so unprofessional.”
He downed the first glass, the second followed quickly, and
then the third.
Everyone thought he would stop there. But Ethan was
committed to the act. He kept going, downing glass after glass.
