"Lola, feel free to be bolder."

Lola Hussey had never acted this coyly with Ethan Ainsley before.

She was speaking in such a pampered tone, plaintively voicing her complaints to him.

Ethan caressed her head, his gaze filled with affection, asking her, "What do you want me to do?"

"Fix him!"

"Alright, I'll do whatever you say."

Aiden Carter: "..."

He was thunderstruck, to say the least.

"No, Lola Hussey, when exactly did you come in? Don't you knock before you enter?" Aiden was puzzled. When had Lola come in? He hadn't heard a sound.

Lola Hussey: "I've been here all along."

Aiden Carter: "?"

She, she, she had been here all this time?

Damn it, how did he not see her!

Lola Hussey pointed to the lounge: "I was in there. I heard every single word you just said!"

Aiden Carter: "..." He had to admit, she had him beat!

Ever heard of a boomerang comes back to bite you? That's precisely what this is.

"Suddenly, it dawned on me that I have some unfinished business, so I must leave now."
