Chapter 13 Faking an Accident
Ethan held the knife and fork, cutting his steak with precision and chewing slowly.
Diannel struggled to get back to the private room.
"Mr. Yates, I finally escaped. These girls keep trying to bump into you. Same old tricks, every time," Diannel complained.
Ethan sneered, taking a sip of red wine. "Ever since I became CEO of Yates Group, there are gold diggers coming to me every day. I can't even be bothered to look at them."
"Find us a new restaurant. Don't let anyone track me."
"Got it."
Just then, Diannel's phone rang.
"Hello... Okay... I'll set up the meeting with Mr. Yates right away."
Ethan raised an eyebrow, looking at Diannel.
Diannel hung up and said, "Mr. Yates, it's the Queen of Ferndale. She wants to discuss some design issues."
"Book me a flight. Postpone my meeting with Elisa until I get back."
"Understood."
Meanwhile, Ashley was having lunch when she got a call from Pauline, saying the meeting was postponed due to a sudden business trip.
Ashley sighed and headed to the restroom.
At that moment, Ethan also got up to go to the restroom.
At the corner, Ashley accidentally bumped into someone and quickly apologized, "Sorry."
Ethan patted his clothes, looking annoyed. He glanced at her and sneered, "You again."
Ashley recognized him too. "We met again."
Were male escorts this rich now? This was a five-star restaurant. Was he being kept by a rich woman? How else could he afford to eat here?
Ethan squinted in anger, thinking she was just another gold digger trying to get close to him.
They stared at each other, each lost in their own thoughts.
Suddenly, voices came from outside—
"Is Mr. Yates here?"
"Let's check."
Ethan's face darkened. He turned to leave but feared Ashley would expose him, so he grabbed her and ran into the men's restroom.
"Hey, what are you doing? This is the men's room..."
Ethan covered her mouth and said coldly, "Shut up!"
Ignoring her struggles, he dragged her into a stall.
In the cramped space, their bodies were close, breaths mingling, creating an unexpected heat.
Ethan's hand was warm, and Ashley's lips were soft. When they touched, both felt a jolt of electricity.
Ashley's pupils dilated, and Ethan, looking at her, felt his heart skip a beat.
A voice came from outside—
"Is anyone in there?"
The voice snapped Ashley back to reality. She pushed Ethan's hand away and was about to shout when Ethan suddenly leaned down and kissed her.
Ashley stared wide-eyed in shock. Pinned against the door, she couldn't match his strength.
Ethan had meant to keep her quiet, but her soft lips made his heart race, and he inexplicably wanted to continue...
Ashley's cheeks turned red, her heart pounding like crazy.
