RedNovelChapter 204 Ethan watched as Josephine's expression changed and fought back a smile. "So? Is there anything in there that you don't like?" "I have to admit, if you ever start live-streaming sales, you'll probably drain my entire bank account." How did he do it? How could he so precisely pick out all her favorite things? GrainWave Tech's Sunvale branch was located in the heart of the city's busiest district, occupying an entire office building. The area was surrounded by either large shopping malls or towering financial skyscrapers, making its sharply angled, steel-and-glass facade seem both imposing and distant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosephine was surprised. She had expected his design aesthetic to be more refined and elegant-not something that screamed corporate empire.
"The first 15 floors are leased out," Ethan explained as he led her into an elevator that was programmed to go straight to the upper levels. He gestured toward the control panel. "Floors 15 to 19 are for product displays and research and development. Floors 20 to 26 are office spaces, and my office is on the 27th floor." Josephine nodded while quietly marveling to herself, "He's good-looking, incredibly successful, and still so young. Talk about an overachiever!" It was worth mentioning that Zayn was already considered exceptional among men his age. But he had inherited a family business-his success was built on the foundation his family had laid for him. Ethan, on the other hand, had built GrainWave Tech from the ground up. The weight of that achievement was undeniable.
That being said... Why would someone like Ethan, who already owned such a massive company, go out of his way to becan actor? He had even bent over backward just for the lead role in her film and went as far as to try and win her favor-all to get closer to his one true love in the entertainment industry. That level of dedication was far more valuable than his business skills.
The elevator doors slid open on the 16th floor, and Josephine stepped out with the cakes in hand. As soon as she did, she noticed multiple pairs of eyes on her. She blinked in surprise. It was late; she hadn't expected so many people to still be working.

Both of them eagerly stepped forward, ready to chat, but before they could say another word, another man walked out of the. elevator. The moment they saw who it was, the two men gasped, audibly sucking in their breath. Their posture stiffened as they scrambled backward. "G-Good evening, Mr. Dane!" Ethan gave a slight nod in acknowledgment before turning to Josephine. "This is the product display floor. The team here works in shifts afternoon to late night. Their hours run from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm, so don't get the wrong idea. I don't have a habit of overworking my employees." Josephine was taken aback. "How did you know that's exactly what I was thinking?" Ethan smirked. "It's written all over your face." Under his breath, he seemed to mumble something that sounded suspiciously like "idiot."
The two employees straightened up and exchanged a look, their faces full What was going on? The of curiosity. What president was showing a woman around the company this late at night. Plus, their vibe was definitely something. Could she be the president's girlfriend? Holy shit. This was breaking news!
Ethan caught the looks they were giving each other but didn't say anything. Instead, he casually placed a hand on Josephine's back and guide her toward the private elevator. As they went from floor to floor, she started to get a real sense of the company.
It had a high-tech, minimalist design.
Sleek, modern, and to her surprise-just a little flashy. It wasn't ve the refined elegance she had imagined. If she had to sum it up in a few words-obscenely rich and proud.
