The Marriage Business
TMB CHAPTER 15 - Paranoid

It seems Gretel misunderstood so Ethel explained everything to her sister what had happened.

"This must be part of my bad luck!" ethel exclaimed with excitement.

"What mischief?" Gretel was astonished. "Don't that shit your co-star?"

"She's just an annoying grown woman" Ethel said.

"At least he is honorable, the proof is that he still keeps his chastity, today it is difficult to find that way. My average schoolmate has been unholy since high school and they consider it unimportant" said Gretel, who felt Ethel's thinking was wrong.

Ethel fell silent and thinking about his brother's words, the guilt re-emerged again. He was curious about the figure of Jesa.

Previously they only often passed each other because they were neighbors so they did not know each other.

So, that day Ethel contacted the owner of the building who happened to be his colleague. Ethel asked for data about Jesa, initially the owner of the building refused because the data of the owner of the apartment unit is privacy.

Ethel doesn't give up, she lies that Jesa is her lover. He should know all about the girl.

"I'll send it but it's a secret between us" the building's owner said later.

Before long, the agreement file for Jesa's apartment unit was sent, it turned out that Jesa only rented it instead of buying the unit. Given job status, Jesa is just a regular employee in his office.

"Jesa Coper" muttered Ethel who now knew the full name of the woman he had slept with.

Then Ethel asks Pedro to find out more about the Jesa family. He had to make sure first what the ins and outs of the girl were, then Ethel could confirm the next step.

"I want the report to be in place tomorrow" Ethel told Pedro.

Pedro could only sigh, he could not resist.

"All right" answered Pedro.

"After a business trip with Keenan's boss, I'll find you an assistant" Pedro replied.

"Is that not too long? Especially when you stay, I'll look for it myself" Ethel said, taking his suit. "I will check the data of diligent employees in the company!"

"Originally you asked Keenan's boss for permission" Pedro warned.

Ethel did not respond anymore as he was going to attend the dinner invitation today. So, he came home early.

Before going to dinner, Ethel stops by the boutique where he usually orders a suit. There's a new suit that the boutique owner has to offer Ethel.

"This new suit is perfect for your body, Young Master," said the boutique owner, who is familiar with Ethel's body from head to toe.

Ethel looked at the suit and it did suit his taste. "Alright, put it on my budget! Gree will take care of the payment!"

"Okay, Young Master." The boutique owner immediately prepared Ethel's new suit.

While Ethel waited by sitting on the boutique sofa until his attention was fixed on the woman who looked overwhelmed carrying some dresses in the boutique.

"The world is indeed narrow" murmured Ethel who saw Jesa there too. "I'm gonna get fucking shit!"

Ethel hurried away from the boutique and asked the owner to drop off the suit to his apartment. He doesn't want to hang out with Jessa.

Along with that, the decorative lights that were near Ethel standing would fall from above.

"Surge!" Jesa encourages Ethel so that the lamp does not hit the man's head.

Ethel's heart was pounding because he had experienced something unexpected a few times lately. First the ceiling of his apartment, now decorative lights.

"I'm definitely going to die soon" murmured Ethel who was starting to get paranoid.
