Chapter 37

　　The newly built hotel was fired to burn, and Ethan brought a lot of trouble back to S City the next day. He did not wait for him to have time to organize the report to the headquarters; the board of directors, on the other side of the first to look for his trouble, apparently has been the first person to report to them. This is what people do not have to guess. In the know, well he was also prepared to explain the matter clearly and actively take responsibility for The responsibility; because of his proper disposal, the loss has been minimized, coupled with the follow-up rectification program quickly submitted to the head office, as well as before he handled several investment projects have brought the company not small benefits back. However, there are still some people who question, but on the whole, to keep the company board of directors of those who are old guys in his trust.

　　Originally near the end of the year, work is hectic; coupled with such a thing, Ethan, in the next half a month, is almost not home; every day is late at night, back in the morning, early in the morning to go out, Marcus on this is nothing to complain about, he is not relying on Ethan to support the woman, the same is the head of a large company, his workload every day is not less than Ethan, even if the day they have been mutual confession Even though they had confessed their love for each other that day, there were not many opportunities to have a fling.

　　******

　　After the company left the door, Marcus hand-dialed Ethan's phone and asked him if he wanted to go to dinner together. The other end of the slightly tired voice came: "To go to meet customers, later to go back, you go to eat it."

　　"Well..." he originally did not ask casually; Ethan has been working overtime for almost a week straight.

　　"Don't eat at the Western restaurant across the street again. It's not good to eat that all the time. How many times have I reminded you to change the restaurant?"Even so, Ethan didn't forget to remind him to change his bad habits.

　　Without Ethan as his companion, Marcus resumed his old habits, going to the restaurant across the street after work in the afternoon to settle his dinner, which was fine by himself. Still, Ethan always reminded him of this, so the hand about to push open the restaurant door was withdrawn again. He turned around, walked back to the company's parking lot, and said: "You come back early tonight.."

　　After hanging up the phone, the assistant marketing manager driving the car smiled and asked Ethan, "Is the general manager reporting his whereabouts to his family?"

　　The other party and Ethan, in addition to being superior and subordinate but also in a friend relationship, are always casual and accustomed to obviously making fun of him; Ethan was not in a good mood: "Pay attention to driving, do not be so gossipy."

　　In the backseat, William raised his eyes to Ethan's mouth with a smile at the corner of his face. He also asked: "The general manager, every day, early morning and late at night, is in the company to eat takeout, has been working until late at night before going home, not afraid of Marcus' dissatisfaction?"

　　Ethan laughed, "What's there to be dissatisfied about? He's not a woman, and he doesn't need me to coax and accompany him all the time."

　　Ethan just blandly stated the facts and didn't bother to think about whether William asked this with an ulterior motive or just joking like others, since in N city, William helped him to block the knife, even if he knew that he entered the company with an unknown purpose, Ethan's attitude towards him on the surface was much better, after all, he was also considered as a lifesaver, and a colleague who worked together, to maintain a face of harmony is still necessary, after all, he was also considered as a lifesaver, and a colleague who worked together, to maintain a face of harmony is still required. After all, he is also a lifesaver and a colleague, so it is essential to maintain harmony on the surface; what he will do after that depends on what Liam is playing in the end.

　　Yes, Liam, as you said before, is still the only suspect later, Ethan specially asked people to check William; although he is very cautious; almost a person can't catch the cracks, there is a point that is clear: he and Liam relationship is not shallow, privately met, William took great pains not easy to marry Qin Sitong to become the general manager of the Qin's and then suddenly give up, there must be what forced him to choose, he can't help it, the reason. He can not help but choose the reason; Liam's hand must have what he can not see the light of the handle, just Ethan a moment and a half of the time has not been investigated. Still, there is nothing to do; as long as Liam dares to damage the company's interests, the unlucky one must be him.

　　Today, the customer is a rich and powerful tycoon, and the place is not a hotel restaurant but a nightclub, also called a room of immodest women, to accompany the wine. Ethan, although the heart of this disdain, can only make the end of the smiling face as a companion.

　　Doing business is like this: have to pretend to be a grandson, but also with the customer's tastes to pretend, was surrounded by three or four women a cup of wine, opposite of the thugs pulling a mouthful of gold teeth shaking face full of flesh with broken Mandarin said not to drink is not to give him face, Ethan can only be a hard head to the wine kept pouring to his stomach, while regretting that he did not have to eat something to fill up his stomach before coming in the heart.

　　After the eighth glass of wine, Ethan could not stand to get up to go to the restroom but was pressed to sit back. The tycoon smiled and called for two bottles of foreign wine, and Ethan said, "As long as the general manager of Ethan's pain in the two bottles of wine is dry, the contract I'll be quick to sign."

　　Ethan looked at the wine and frowned slightly. He knew the degree of this kind of wine. If he drank all of it in one gulp, he estimated that he would have to call for someone to carry him back and maybe go to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. He didn't wait for him to state his position, but the other hand reached out to hold the bottle first. "I'll help the general manager drink it."

　　William came from the door and sat in the corner. Ethan brought a total of five people. Each person had been filled with a lot of wine. He was sitting in a partial position, the least drunk. This moment to talk did not change color. That thug looked at him with a down interest: "OK, then you drink. Two bottles of wine together dry. We are done with this deal."

　　******

　　Hearing the sound of the doorbell ringing, Marcus got up and came out of the room, thinking about how much Ethan had drunk again. Even the key couldn't be pulled out, pulling open the door, but what stood outside the door was not the person he imagined; Angus smiled and looked at him, asking, "Cousin, can I go in?"

　　See, Marcus does not move. Angus added: " Lucas is in the company head over time. I also just returned, found the home fuse is broken, and notified the property to repair it. It was not so fast."

　　"Come in."

　　Marcus's tone was cold, but in the end, they let him enter the door.

　　Sitting on the sofa, seeing that Marcus did not intend to greet himself, Angus spoke slowly and methodically: "The general manager went out to socialize tonight, and again, he brought that assistant of his with him."

　　Marcus does not take care of him; ready to go into the room to let him do as he pleases, Angus raises his voice: "Cousin, I am for your good, do not take it seriously, really if you like the general manager on him to see him a little bit tighter, that William is now clearly on the general manager of the interest of the general manager, the general manager, although the face of the general manager on his disdain, but that time he was injured to the general manager of the attitude changed. Attitude has changed; there are already people in the company talking about it; even though both the general manager and you have pursued him before the spread, there are still bored people privately betting on whether the general manager will rekindle his old feelings for him."

　　Marcus finally turned around and looked at him coldly, "Are you done babbling?"

　　"Like I said, I'm doing you a favor."

　　"Then shut up."

　　With his words out of his mouth, Marcus entered the room and brought the door directly with him.

　　The cell phone resting on the nightstand rang at the right time. Marcus picked it up. Ethan called, "Marcus, I might be late getting back. You go to sleep first."

　　"What?"

　　"...William had too much wine and had a stomach bleed; I took him into the hospital."

　　Marcus froze for a moment and said, "Uh-huh."

　　He hung up until the cell phone screen in his hand went dark. Marcus snapped out of his daze, turned the phone off, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

　　******

　　Listening to the cold tone and then seeing the phone has hung up, Ethan is a little distracted and calls again but finds that Marcus has turned off the phone and can only be stopped.

　　Walked into the hospital room, and William is lying on the hospital bed to get an IV drip; the other people, Ethan, let them go back first, leaving him alone; he hears the footsteps and initially closes his eyes. William slowly opens his eyes and looks at him.

　　Ethan walked to his side; momentarily, he did not know what to say. Good, to help him block the wine, how do you think he seems to owe him another favor: "The doctor said that you have to stay in the hospital for observation; the company side. I will let the Ministry of Personnel to give you approved leave,you do not go to work in the past few days,the first to recuperate the body it."

　　"You..."

　　"You don't have relatives here,I'll hire an escort for you,you can call me if you need anything,it's late,I'll go back...first"

　　"Don't go,"William suddenly reached out and clutched one of his hands hard,pleading with him with eyes full of aggression and pity,"Don't go,Ethan,please,stay with me."

　　Such a scene seemed to overlap with that day when he bumped into him and sent him to the hospital that time,but the current Ethan was in no position to fling his face at him,yet he felt so embarrassed that he could only lightly pat his hand and then draw out his own hand without a trace,"Don't think about it too much,go to bed early."

　　"What happened in the past was my fault,I can change,I can really change..."

　　William babbling words,his red eyes sad look acted too realistic,even if he knew that he had a relationship with Liam,for a while Ethan was a little difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood,after thinking about it,he still interrupted his words,and seriously said,"No matter what your purpose is to say this kind of words to me,don't say it again in the future."

　　"Why...did you say that you like me..."

　　"That was in the past,"Ethan said,trying to control his patience as much as he could,"I did like you in the past,but it's all in the past,and now the person I love is Marcus,and only him."

　　"I...don't believe that..."

　　"Whether you believe it or not,it's all my personal business,I didn't need to explain to you,but the fact that you've been hurt these past few times because of me makes it hard for me to have peace of mind,and I don't want to owe you anything so I have to get it off my chest with you."

　　Ethan finished his words and finally added,"You'd better rest early,I'll have the caregiver I hired come over first thing in the morning."After that,he didn't wait for William to say more and turned to leave.

　　Waiting until he left the door of the ward and walked away,the person on the hospital bed finally slowly collected that look of grief,recovered a face full of calm indifference,took out his cell phone and dialed a certain number,and opened the door to the point:"I've been suffering from knives and stomach bleeding for him,and I've gone through a lot of trouble and he still won't take the bait to do it?"

　　"Show more loyalty,let him trust you enough on the line."
