Although Lily still had one final scene left to shoot, Mia informed Director Young that she wasn’t feeling well.
Without hesitation, the director granted them the rest of the day off

Noticing the searing intensity of Lily’s stare, Rose visibly flinched. For a brief moment, a wave of unease and fear

Meanwhile, Mia had already arranged for a car to pick them up. It was waiting for them just outside the ser The

but found herself at a loss for words.
When they arrived at Lily's house, she stepped out of the car without a word, with Mia trailing behind her. Lily

A chill ran down her spine, and her heart began to race. Her mind filled with frightening possibilities as her voice
quivered. She banged on the door harder, her panic evident now. “Lily, you're scaring me! Say something-

Desperation began to seep into her voice as tears pricked her eyes. “Please, Lily! Tellwhat's wrong. Open

But the silence was deafening.
Unable to take it any longer, Mia fumbled for her phone with trembling hands and immediately dialed Ethan,
hoping he could help.
At Ethan Corporation
It was a bright morning, and Ethan’s good mood was hard to miss. After dropping off his wife, he found himself
smiling uncontrollably, something entirely out of character for the usually stoic man.
Ben, who was waiting at the building entrance, immediately noticed his boss approaching. He greeted him
with a recrveerful “Good morning Reyes”

Ethan, in an unusually cheerful tone, responded, “Good morning, Ben” Then, as if noticing something new, he
added. “You should start wearing red shirts more often-they suit you.”
Ben froze mid-step, utterly bewildered. He stared at his boss, unable to believe what he had just heard. Is this
really the sman I've worked with for eight years?
As they entered the company, the staff was equally stunned. Their typically cold, emotionless CEO was walking
through the halls smiling. The sight was so shocking that most of them forgot to greet him as he passed

disappeared into his office. Left behind, the employees exchanged curious glances, whispering amongst
themselves
“What's going on? Why is the devil boss smiling today?
“Did something big happen?”
Sof the younger female staff even squealed, swooning over how charming his smile was. Their chatter filled
the office, but Ben could only shake his head with an amused smirk before following his boss.
Inside the CEO's office. Ethan Ethan suddenly paused and turned to Ben with a thoughtful expression. “Ben, buy
ssweets and distribute them to everyone in the office,” he instructed.
“Understood, Boss, Ben replied with a nod. After a brief hesitation, he added, “If they ask why... should | tell
them it’s because you got married?”
Ethan's smile faltered slightly, and he waved his hand dismissively. “No-"
Before he could finish, a playful voice interrupted him. “And here | was wondering why my emotionless brother
decided to leave the mansion so suddenly!”
Startled, Ethan turned to see his office chair spinning slowly. Sitting in it was his younger sister, Ivy, her arms
crossed and her eyes narrowed at him accusingly.
Ignoring her glare momentarily, Ethan turned back to Ben. “If anyone asks, just say it’s because today’s weather
is nice,” he said with a shrug.
Ben blinked in disbelief. The weather? Really? Is that even a reason to distribute sweets? But he didn’t dare
question his boss further. “No problem, Boss, he replied, quickly exiting the room.
Once they were alone, Ethan approached his sister and ruffled her hair affectionately. “When did you sneak in?”
he asked with a smile..
Ivy pouted and slapped his hand away. “You got married, and you didn’t even tell me?!”
“It all happened yesterday, and it was rushed,” Ethan explained, trying to pacify her. Before she could press him
for details, he added, “And I'm not telling you anything about her. It's a secret.”
“Con, Brother!” Ivy whined, trying her best to look cute. She even gave him her signature puppy-dog
eyes.
Ethan sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. His sister always knew how to win him over. “Alright, on one

“You can’t meet her, and you alsolutely cannot tell anyone about this—not even our parents, Ethan warned
firmly.
Ivy nodded eagerly. “I promise | won't tell Mom or Dad anything!” she said with a bright smile. But who says |

Seeing the mischievous glint in her eyes, Ethan narrowed his gaze. “On second thought, never mind. | take it
back. I'm not telling you anything”
“No, no, no!” Ivy protested, grabbing his arm. “Trust me, | won't meet her. Please, Brother, just tellwho she

“Are you sure?” Ethan asked skeptically,
“Of course!” Ivy replied, putting on her most sincere expression. “I promise | won't meet her.” At least not

After a long pause, Ethan sighed. “Fine. I'll trust you this once, Ivy. Don’t makeregret it.”
Ivy grinned victoriously. Hehe, Brother, if | want to meet my sister-in-law, not even you can stop me!
