Chapter 384 Leaving Without A Word
Ethan finally boarded the plane and let out a sigh of relief.
But once on board, he was surprised to see his seat was right next to Alice's, while Angela was several rows away.
It was clear Alexander had picked the seats based on Alice's wishes.
Angela didn't seem to care and took her seat in the back without a fuss.
"Seriously? You've messed up all the plans," Ethan said to Alice, looking helpless and unsure if this was good or bad.
"Don't you want to sit with me?" Alice asked, blinking innocently.
"That's not it! I just want you to know there's nothing between me and her. We're just partners. If this mission fails, I might as well get off the plane now!" Ethan sighed.
Seeing Ethan's serious face, Alice felt a bit guilty, realizing she might have caused trouble.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to!" Alice whispered, gently tugging his arm.
Ethan couldn't stay mad at her, seeing her pitiful look.
"Forget it. Let's just take it one step at a time. Just don't mess around or provoke Angela anymore. After the task, who knows if I'll ever see her again? No need to be jealous," Ethan advised with a bitter smile.
"I'm not jealous. I just think it's unfair. You can accept others, but why not me?" Alice argued softly.
"Didn't I already agree to be with you? What more do you want? Should I tell Eric I'm going to mess with you?" Ethan said, finally understanding the hassle of dealing with multiple women.
It might seem enviable, but the complications were enough to drive anyone crazy!
Luckily, Chloe and Sarah had accepted Alice, so they wouldn't be shocked if Ethan had a relationship with her. But who knows how Jessie would react?
During the flight, Ethan chatted with Alice, but his mind was on Angela in the back.
Angela was reading in-flight magazines, seemingly forgetting about him.
Comforting women should be second nature to Ethan, but that only worked with those he had a relationship with. With someone like Angela, he was clueless.
A few hours later, the plane landed in Norway.
As they got off, Angela ignored Ethan like he was a stranger.
"Angela's got quite the temper, huh?" Ethan muttered, annoyed.
He couldn't stand women who didn't know their place, no matter how beautiful or powerful they were.
"My dad should have sent a car to pick us up. Let's go figure it out," Alice said, trying to comfort Ethan.
To their surprise, Angela had disappeared after they exited the terminal!
After searching around and not finding her, Ethan rolled his eyes.
'Angela's really unreasonable, leaving without a word! If you don't need my help, I'm happy to relax and not deal with your mess!' Ethan was fed up with Angela's attitude and was ready to let her fend for herself.
He pulled out his phone and texted Angela: [Don't come begging me!]
Angela replied quickly: [Don't worry. Even if I die in Norway, it has nothing to do with you, and I won't beg you. I'll tell Remington I'll complete this task on my own!]
Ethan was so mad he almost smashed his phone but decided it wasn't worth it. Why get angry over such an unreasonable person?
"What do we do now?" Alice asked cautiously, seeing Ethan's dark expression.
"Ignore her. Where's Eric's car?" Ethan put away his phone and asked Alice.
"Ms. Rivera, Mr. Wilson!" Two young men in suits and sunglasses approached them respectfully.
"My dad sent you to pick us up? Where is he?" Alice asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Mr. Rivera is entertaining guests at the estate and sent us to bring you back," one of the young men explained quickly.
"He didn't even come to the airport to pick me up!" Alice was immediately annoyed.
"He didn't come, but you still know the way home. Let's stay at your place for the night. If Angela doesn't apologize, I'll book a flight back home tomorrow!" Ethan said angrily, still upset about Angela.
Eric was a well-known wealthy man in the area, ranking among the top in Norway, and his estate was quite impressive.
Eric had some connections with the underworld when he started.
After partnering with Ethan, his business gradually became his daily routine, and he slowly cleaned up his act, becoming a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist in the area!
The partnership between Eric and Ethan was a win-win situation!
It was Ethan's first time at Eric's estate. He had visited Norway two years ago, but back then, Eric only lived in a villa—a far cry from now!
"Looks like Eric's become quite a figure in Norway, living in such an impressive estate!" Ethan commented, somewhat surprised by the vast estate walls.
"He hasn't forgotten that he owes much of his success to your help!" Alice added lightly.
"We're just partners. Friends should help each other," Ethan said nonchalantly.
"Now you're about to become his son-in-law! To put it bluntly, you slept with your friend's daughter!" Alice teased.
"Come on! When did I ever sleep with you? Don't say things like that!" Ethan warned, glaring at her.
"Just kidding. Why so serious?" Alice pouted, feeling wronged.
The car stopped in the parking lot in front of a huge castle in the estate, surrounded by luxury cars. Why did Eric buy so many cars? For a car show?
"At least we won't lack cars to drive here, and with so many luxury cars, crashing a few wouldn't hurt!" Ethan joked as he got out of the car.
"Forget the cars. Let's go see what Eric is up to, daring not to pick us up at the airport!" Alice grabbed Ethan's hand and led him towards the castle.
