A CEO just parachuted into the company, rumored to be drop-dead gorgeous.
I dolled myself up and headed to work in high spirits, only to run into my ex-boyfriend in the elevator.
He looked me up and down and asked, "So chipper about work? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
I shot back, "I'm not here to be a wage slave. I'm here to be the boss's lady."
The elevator doors opened to reveal a line of colleagues.
The manager bowed respectfully to Ethan, "Welcome, CEO. This way to your office."
Seeing me frozen in place, Ethan smirked, "Well, boss's lady? What are you waiting for? This way."

The New Boss Is My Ex

Later, Ethan must have had some conversation with Felicity, because a few days after, Felicity voluntarily resigned from the company.


On the day she left, office gossip exploded once again.


Everyone was saying that in this love triangle, I had emerged as the ultimate victor.


All in all, the relationship between Ethan and me seemed to have been elaborated into a full-length novel in the minds of our coworkers.


After we reaffirmed our relationship, Ethan eagerly arranged for me to meet his parents at his home.


Ethan's family lived in a detached house.


Knowing we were coming today, his mom personally prepared the meal.


Upon learning of our arrival, his mom rushed out of the kitchen, warmly grasping my hand, "Fallon, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you two for so long."


I nodded awkwardly and handed her the gift I had brought, "Ma'am, these are some things I bought for you and sir. I hope you'll like them."
