21 Draft 3 (1/2)

Ethan stayed on his office, for over time.

He was frowning in front of his laptop. It doesn't seemed right at all. On his calculation, everything should be fine for a week, but why so sudden? He slammed his hand on the table and type fast until he get into their system. He will going to kill them one by one if they breach another contract this time. They used the Alvarez company and he will take it back from them so no one could hurt his sister.

He turn off his laptop took it with him and reach his private elevator. He nodded on the security guards and went to his car and drove out from his building. He was passing by from a bar when he saw a petite figure, curly long hair and a very conservative dress. He turn his car and stop in front of her.

He click to open the window and whistle on her. She turn to him with frown and the surprise look on her face was enough to tease her.

”Sweetheart, isn't it your curfew yet?” She check on her wrist watch. Then she mutter few curses. He read her lips and it looks sexy as hell.

He stepped out from his car and walk around to her. He look weary and tired from a long day. He need to sleep but he just couldn't. The feeling of restlessness suddenly vanished when he saw her.

”What are you doing here?”

”Well, I just got off from the office.”

”Uhm, you okay? You want milk? That will help you.”

He grin slowly, and the sexiness on him never fades though he was tired. How can he be so cool in front of her? She thought to herself. Then she snorted.

”Baby, you know what I want. What are you doing in this kind of bar?” he look around with frown. The local bar and full of addicts and dirty people.

”I am just here for a little celebration with my team. I am off anyway.” She pull out her phone. ”So, uhm…”

”Get in the car.” She keep her formality and smiled at him in very businesslike.

”It's fine sir. I'll book an Uber.”

”Get in the car.” He demanded and open the door for her. She exhales and look at him skeptically.

”Ethan,” She finally call his name.

”Aria.” He call back her name. She submissively get in on his car. He walk around and gave her a card. It is a gold card with VIP on it. ”This is VIP card in Elite Bar. You are safer there.” She didn't take it.

”What makes you think that I am safer in that bar? Every bar are not safe.”

”You are my woman—”

”I never agreed to be your mistress.” She retorted. She wanted to rub her chest where her heart is located to comfort it. Thinking of those days that she wastreated as a mistress.

”Sweetheart, I never wanted you to be my mistress. But maybe I wanted that—my only mistress. Aria, I never meant for you to feel that way. I was stupid. I focus more on business and make our relationship part of business.”

”Our relationship back then was always a business. It's my mistake that I am not professional enough.”

He didn't say anything at all and started driving his car. He knew where she is staying. It's a small apartment just few square meters enough for a bathroom, bed and small kitchen. She's independent and she didn't even take the villa that he bought for her.

”Thank you for driving me.” She didn't look into his eyes. He scoop her face and lifted it up to him.

”This place doesn't seemed safe.”

”I have been living here for five months, and everything are fine.”

”Hmm.” He stare down on her crossbow lips and had the urge to taste it.

”It's late.”

”It is indeed late.” He stepped closer and she stepped back. He closes the door and locked it. She suddenly can't breathe.

”What are you doing?”
