Chapter77 Jealousy
Ethan was concerned about Sarah. Ever since this morning, he could tell something was wrong with her. When they met again, she maintained a distance and left him helpless.
At noon, Evander came to the hotel. As they had lunch together, he mentioned that Brent had come to the company this morning to ask about the investment plan for the tourism project. It seemed that he didn't trust Ethan, wanting to personally confirm it.
Luckily, Ethan and Evander had cleared things up yesterday, wanting to ensure they both had all the facts and understood the plan.
Otherwise, they would most certainly have been exposed today.
“Mr. Wilson, what are your next steps?” Evander wasn't actually opposed to investing in tourism projects. As Ethan had mentioned, this industry was indeed Moreover, Evander didn’t understand how this matter was connected to dealing with QU Group.
“Let's not rush it. Just wait a few more minutes, I have a friend coming. We'll discuss once they arrive!” Ethan glanced at the time, pretending to be mysterious, which earned him a disdainful snort from Sarah beside him.
However, just a few minutes later, Sarah's eyes widened!
A tall, blond woman in a well-fitted business skirt suit appeared at the door. By that time, Sarah realized that this woman was the friend Ethan was referring to!
She couldn't help but marvel at the woman’s physique, especially with that well-proportioned figure accentuated by the black stockings.
“Thank God, we finally meet again! When I heard about your situation at Cloud Group, I couldn't resist flying over here to find you! That damn Edward actually tried to stop me from coming!” To Sarah's surprise, the woman hugged Ethan and planted a kiss on his cheek.
“Alice, you're still as enthusiastic as ever, but I have friends with me here. Can you please be more reserved?” Ethan helplessly said, reminding Alice with a resigned expression.
“Oh... my apologies. Are these two your friends?” Alice turned toward Sarah and Evander. She saw the cautious look in Sarah's eyes, raising her eyebrow slightly and smirking slightly.
Ethan introduced Sarah and Evander, “Let me introduce you. This is my friend Sarah, and this is Evander, Shine Group’s Deputy General Manager. I invited you here today to befriend him and facilitate our future work!”
“Mr. Wilson, is this young lady the head of the inspection group that just arrived in Seattle today?” Evander clearly also saw the news report from this morning.
“Yes, I'm Alice. It's an honor to work with you!” Alice extended her hand in an official manner toward Evander.
As they shook hands, Evander was even more shocked by Ethan's capabilities!
He never imagined Ethan would be associated with the CEO of the investment company that had recently made waves in Seattle.
On the side, Sarah was also baffled. She wasn't surprised by Alice's identity or her relationship with Ethan, but rather by...
Comparing her own figure to Alice's, she couldn't help but admire what kind of food this woman had been eating to grow like that.
Seeing her continuously making weird gestures, Ethan asked, “Sarah, what are you doing?”
“So, you like this type of woman, huh, Ethan? No way; l have to tell Chloe and make her eat more papaya to catch up!” One sentence from Sarah almost made Ethan bite his tongue!
“What do you mean by that?” Alice stared at Sarah in confusion.
Only Evander remained calm, but his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
By the afternoon, news that Norway’s RP Investments would be partnering with Shine Group to invest in the tourism industry in Seattle caused a sensation throughout the city, drawing the attention of relevant departments and individuals in the field. It was worth noting that the two companies’ total investments amounted to over 20 billion US dollars! This was without a doubt a figure that no one can ignore!
Frank also got the news as soon as possible and tried every means to find out Alice's whereabouts, intending to pay her a visit!
He seemed to understand why Ethan didn't cause trouble for QU Group after coming to Seattle, but went to the Tourism Bureau first. If he also had such a powerful partner, he wouldn't have the time to continue fighting for those two pieces of land!
After Evander and Alice left, the war between Ethan and Sarah began.
“Ethan, when did you and Alice get together? Believe me, I'll tell Chloe right away!”
“Don't talk nonsense! Alice and I are just ordinary friends, and we've known each other for three years!”
“Nonsense! I saw that you couldn't take your eyes off her! You want to deny it?”
Ethan almost spat out blood. When did he ever do such a creepy thing? Moreover, wasn’t it Sarah who constantly stared at Alice?
“You’re speechless, right? I'll tell Chloe now, so just you wait for your doom!” Sarah said as she reached for her phone, wanting to call Chloe. Fortunately, Ethan was quick and snatched it away.
“Hold on! Even if something was going on between us, why are you so fussy? What, are you jealous?” Ethan held the phone in the air as he stared at her with suspicion.
Sarah's face instantly flushed as she stuttered, “T-That’s impossible! I-I'm just supervising you on Chloe's behalf, okay? Yes, she asked me to keep an eye on you! Now give me the phone back right now!”
Relieved by her reaction, Ethan casually threw the phone back to her.
“You wait here. I'll go and complain to Chloe, telling her you're flirting with beautiful women outside!”
Sarah took the phone and was about to make the call. She waited a long time for his reaction, but only silence prevailed.
Ethan, this fool, really just sat on the couch and started drinking tea!
“Hey! Aren't you afraid that I'll say bad things about you to Chloe?” Sarah stepped forward and asked, her eyes filled with surprise.
Ethan reminded indifferently, “Go ahead and do it! I don’t care about Alice anyway. However, if Chloe sees you kicking up such a fuss, I don't know what she'll think!”
“W-what do you mean by that? Just wait and see, Ethan!” Sarah couldn't believe Ethan was countering her to the point where she couldn't speak. Frustrated, she clenched her teeth and slammed the door as she left!
“Daring to challenge me?” Ethan smirked as he watched the closed door, but soon realized a serious problem.
‘Could it be that she really has feelings for me?’
After fooling around then, he suddenly felt uneasy after realizing Sarah's strange attitude. It seems he needed to maintain an appropriate distance from her!
