One month later….
Ethan began to be confused with his condition. He is fired from his old workplace and that is because there are customers who protest because they feel not treated properly and Ethan is considered unfriendly. ethan never felt that way at all, but of course he could not do anything when in the end he was fired after working for many years at the place.
Ethan immediately looked for another job and unfortunately until now no one called him to work. Even for interview calls alone there is nothing at all. While Ethan has taken his savings for the purposes of his life for several weeks. He did get his salary when fired but of course it is not full because at that time he was working not even a month. He was only on a salary worth how many days in the month. Ethan can't have to rely on his savings money considering he doesn't want to kidnap the money at all for now. The money is only he ordered for his future with his wife and child later if married.
Ethan looked down sad, confused as to what to do now. He has tried various ways to get a job, and he has also asked Gemma for help to find a vacancy. He tried Gemma's recommendations several times, but the results were the same. The CV he sent was not even in the lyrics. This frustrates Ethan. He wanted to leave this city but he was very sad if he had to leave this apartment considering he had paid for it for a year and still had a few months left. If he leaves, the payment will not be refunded.
This also makes Ethan more delay u ntuk express his feelings to Gemma because he was embarrassed by his circumstances. So he refrains from first expressing his feelings to Gemma. And this is also not the right time to think about that, because the more important thing is to get a job first. Although Gemma is very considerate of her but Ethan stays with her stance and she does not want to be stamped as a person who utilizes others.
Ethan sat still, looking down trying to think of something. He can't keep going like that and things shouldn't get worse. Ethan stood up and took his jacket. He rushed out of his apartment and was about to go somewhere. That seems like the last option he has to make.

Leona stared at the focus on her laptop screen while listening to the presentation of her men. He is in an important meeting with his staff to prepare for a new project that will be carried out by his company. As usual, Leona spent her day busying herself in the office. And nothing has changed. Leona still always avoids her mother and feels fed up with whatever her mother does. Because the woman kept trying to get Leona closer to many owners of large companies but Leona was never interested in it at all.
And Leona is still monitoring Ethan from afar. He had already shut down Ethaan's entire access to a new job after the man was fired. Leona had already sent her men to watch over Ethan's movements and stopped him immediately as the man tried to send CVs to several places opening vacancies. And Leona was already tapping Ethan's cell phone while the man was in his apartment so Ethan's movements could be on the beach including Ethan's brief message on his social media account. Leona uses the opportunity she had when Ethan was heavily drunk and slept very soundly at the time. Leona would never do anything half-and-half when she was already planning something. Now Leona just waits for Ethan's move to come to her and beg her for work. Leona knows Ethan must be having a hard time finding income.
"This is the result of the marketing team presentation.. "
"okay.... I'll study your presentation, and tomorrow Kaia will tell you if there's anything to revise... I have to go now, so today's meeting is closed..!" Leona stood up and immediately left the meeting room.
"Immediately send a copy of his data to my email... I'll check her out.. I have to follow Leona.. " Say Kaia told the staff.
"Good ma'am Kai... "
Kaia nodded and immediately came out following Leona. This is a bad habit of Leona who often leaves meetings as she pleases when Leona should respond and revise the data at that time so that it can be immediately repaired. But who could argue or protest Leona. So they're gonna let Leona go and wait until Leona says the job's done. or if they do not have to accept a new job to complete the report assigned to be revised according to the time specified by Leona. And sometimes very troublesome because Leona often gives a few hours. Leona is calm but ruthless enough for punctuality.
"Kai... I'm hungry, can we go home now???" Leona asked Kaia who was walking behind her.
"Ah is not necessary.. Poor him, he must be ready to go home, I'll cook for myself... Come home.. "
"OK fine.. " Kaia smiled. And he immediately contacted Robert to prepare to bring the car forward so that Leona did not have to wait later.
Kaia presses the elevator button and lets Leona in and she catches up with him. "You're so bad.. " Say Kaia.
Leona smiled. "Why???" She asked even though she already knew what Kaia meant.
"Always leave meetings as you please... "
"For stomach business I can't wait... Ah ask Barbara, is there still a wagyu kobe in the refrigerator??? I want to make a steak.. Ah also other ingredients for salads and sauces... As usual, I want my favorite sauce.. Ah yes, don't forget..... " Having not finished speaking, Kaia interrupted Leona immediately.
"Black truffles and caviar...! Isn't that...???" Ask Kaia.
Leona chuckles. "That's right... "
"OK I'll call Barbara's mom, if it's over, then we're forced to stop to buy her at the supermarket.. " Say Kaia.
"okay... Ask first.. "
Kaia contacted Robert first to get ready up front as she and Leona were about to get off.
They got out of the elevator and walked towards the lobby to get out of the office. The car is waiting in front. The car door was opened by security, and Leona went straight into the car. After Kaia who sat next to Robert. The car was running and Kaia's phone rang. "Yes...??? What's up???" Ask Kaia the person who called her.
"Come????" Ask her again. "aoke well I'll tell Leona.. " Say Kaia and the call is over. "Na....?!! What you're waiting for has come... Ethan came to the apartment looking for you..!"
