Chapter 49：Push and Pull Trick (1/2)

Ethan's guts shrunk a little when he saw that look.

”M-Maybe you should escort her so she won't be embarrassed,” said Ethan so that the security guard looked back at Carolina, and as expected, after the security guard looked at her, Carolina's gaze returned to normal.

”Come on, miss Carol, don't be shy,” the security guard returned to Carolina. Seeing the security guard who didn't seem to stop bothering her, Carolina finally agreed to go with the security guard.

”So... is there anything oppa can help you with?” asked Ethan with a wink, teasing the woman. For some reason, Ethan felt attracted every time he saw the woman trying to hide her true nature.

”There's nothing, seeing Sir Ethan up close is enough. Sir Ethan must be very busy, right, as CEO, there must be a lot of reports that you need to read,” Carolina said with a smile.

”You can only dream if you think I will pretend to be your fan!” thought Carolina.

The security guard who was listening just nodded his head, ”Thank God it turns out that Miss Carol is not a hysterical fan when she sees her idol,”

Ethan was a little disappointed when he saw Carolina didn't pretend to be a hysterical fan, asking for autographs or asking for a photo together. Seeing that things were no longer fun, Ethan turned serious again.

”Yes, thank you. You want to go upstairs right? Let's go together,” said Ethan, he then looked at the security guard and said, ”You can come back, sir”

The security guard nodded and returned to his position. Ethan was just about to look back at Carolina, but she wasn't there. When Ethan turned around, he could see that the woman was greeting the receptionist who was already at her desk, and headed straight for the elevator.

Seeing that, Ethan stepped back, after greeting the receptionist, he finally caught up with Carolina who was still waiting for the elevator to come down.

”Why did you go first? Didn't I tell you we could be together?” ask Ethan, but his gaze was straight ahead and not looking at Carolina.

”Did I ever say I wanted us to go upstairs together?” Carolina asked fiercely in a low voice, so only Ethan could hear her.

”Well... no, but it's okay if we ride together, right?” Ethan finally replied, trying to look at Carolina who was next to him, but again the woman was gone. When Ethan looked ahead, the woman was already in the elevator and ready to press the button to close the door.

”Hey!” said Ethan then hastily pressed the elevator button again, after the elevator opened again, Ethan immediately got into it.

”Shouldn't you be waiting for me?” asked Ethan once they were both in the elevator. Ethan then pressed button 6, because that's where his room was.

Carolina just kept quiet and ignored him, he already knew her true nature, so she didn't have to pretend to be nice to him anymore, right?

Watching the woman stay silent, Ethan frowned, he'd never met anyone who completely ignored him. For the first time, there is someone who ignored him!

”So how have you been this week?” asked Ethan, trying to find a topic so she wouldn't ignore him again but Carolina just kept quiet.

Carolina actually didn't really listen to what Ethan said in the elevator because she was thinking about something.

”If I sell the red apple's signature for 100 thousand rupiah, it means that 10 is already 1 million. Hmm… how can I ask for his autograph without pretending to be a fan?” thought Carolina, who after seeing Ethan returned, began to think about running the business idea she had previously thought of, it's good to pay for the boarding house!

”Oh, it's arrived. I'm going first!” Carolina said as soon as the elevator doors opened again and showed the number 4. She immediately stepped outside.

Ethan just looked at the woman with a confused look, was she ignoring him on purpose? Or maybe she uses a push and pull trick like in a romantic comedy drama?

”Hmph this woman! She looks so pissed off at me. You're actually starting to get attracted to me right?” thought Ethan drawing the conclusion

”Do I have another meeting after this?” Ethan asked Agung after they left the meeting room. Like last week, Ethan told Agung to call the deputy directors to a meeting, to discuss the business ideas they had put together on Friday.
