<i>Logically </i><i>speaking</i><i>, </i><i>when </i><i>a </i><i>normal </i><i>guy </i><i>gets </i><i>pushed </i><i>like </i><i>that</i><i>, </i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>he </i><i>just </i><i>spill </i><i>everything</i>? <i>What </i><i>exactly </i><i>is </i><i>Boss </i><i>thinking</i><i>? </i>
Dawn finally sensed something was off. She sized Janice up and down. “Are you hiding something from me? Is it about my fiancé?”
Janice was caught off guard by the question.
“I … ”
She was about to deny it, but just then, she spotted Ethan strolling over. She quickly said, “Of course not! I don’t even know him that well, and your fiancé is so intimidating that I can barely even talk to him, okay? Oh, look, he’s here. I’ll leave and let you guys talk!”
Janice took off like a shot, leaving Dawn standing there alone, her suspicions growing stronger.
As soon as Ethan sat down, he noticed something was wrong with her expression. He frowned slightly. “What’s wrong, babe?”
Dawn crossed her arms and spoke coolly. “Ethan, you’re really good when ites to keeping secrets, aren’t you?”
Ethan felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but he kept his face neutral. “Hm?”
<i>Oh</i><i>, </i>so <i>you’re </i><i>still </i><i>going </i><i>to </i><i>pretend </i><i>you’re </i><i>not </i><i>hiding </i><i>anything </i><i>from </i><i>me</i>?
Dawn looked toward the others, deciding not to embarrass him in public. She took a breath and said, “It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect you to show up tonight.”
Now that she thought back on everything, all the weird little clues finally clicked.
Ethan was the boss of Dreammaker Studios!
That’s why Wendy <i>got </i>fired.
No wonder he was always <i>so </i>clear about what was going on at herpany!
And Janice… If she and Ethan only met once, why would they have each other on WhatsApp?
The more Dawn thought about it, the more stifled she felt. She wasn’t exactly angry, but she was ufortable. She grabbed her water and gulped it down, sparks practically flying from
her eyes.

Ethan picked up on her mood right away and was about to say something. But just as he opened his mouth, a coworker shouted, “Dawn, Mr. Jackson,e eat!”
Tony bought all the barbecue food tonight. He even got some roast chicken andmb cutlets, and had the hotel heat them up so they’d be ready to eat.
“Dawn…”
Ethan had just started to speak when Dawn stood up and strode off, not even ncing at him.
He was left speechless.
Over at the grill, Tony was getting ready to start cooking.
When Dawn walked over, he greeted her enthusiastically, “Ms. Porter, do you want beef or seafood? I’ll grill it for you first.”
Dawn shot him a re but said nothing. She just sat down nearby without answering.
Tony was baffled.
<i>Did </i><i>I </i><i>do </i><i>something </i><i>to </i><i>upset </i>Ms. <i>Porter</i><i>? </i>
He scratched his nose awkwardly and hurried off to get the food cooked, hoping to make up for whatever it was.
Janice also noticed Dawn looked upset. Thinking back to how she’d almost spilled the secret earlier, Janice felt a wave of guilt and brought her amb cutlet.
“You look upset. Here, have amb cutlet and cheer up.”
Dawn took themb cutlet and gave her a long, meaningful look. “I’m not upset. I just uncovered a secret, that’s all.”
Janice was at a loss for words.
That’s not good.
<i>I </i>wonder how things <i>are </i><i>going </i><i>on </i><i>Boss’s </i>side. On <i>my </i><i>end</i>, <i>I </i><i>definitely </i><i>feel </i>the <i>pressure</i>.
Janice forced a couple ofughs and quickly handed Dawn some napkins. “Secrets can be good or bad, right? If it didn’t make you mad, then it’s probably a good secret.”
Dawn nibbled hermb cutlet and said, “Who actually likes being lied to?”

To her, Ethan’s identity as Dreammaker Studios‘ boss was just a trivial matter. Even if he told her, it wouldn’t change a thing.
But if he really saw her as his future partner, he should have told her–even if it was just a casual mention. She hated nothing more than being kept in the dark.
Dawn heard steady footsteps behind her and didn’t need to look to know who it was. She lowered her eyes and let the topic drop.
Ethan waved Janice off, and she practically bolted with relief.
The noise around them faded, and in that little space, it felt like it was just the two of them again. Ethan watched the way Dawn ate hermb cutlet–it almost looked like she was venting her anger on that little piece of cutlet.
His eyes darkened, but his voice was gentle. “Are you mad?”
Dawn stayed silent.
“I …” For the first time, Ethan struggled for words. His Adam’s apple bobbed, as if the words were stuck.
He closed his eyes for a moment, and his striking face seemed even more intense. “It’s true, I’m the owner of Dreammaker Studios. But when I went to thepany that day, I wasn’t trying to avoid you. You just didn’t notice me. I …
“So you thought it was funny?”

Dawn looked up at him, her clear eyes shining in the night. “You had so many chances to tell me, but you didn’t. Was it to mess with me, or did you think you were keeping it from me for my own good? Ethan, I think I deserve a real answer.” <fn25e0> Chapters first released on find?novel</fn25e0>
Her expression was earnest and sincere as she spoke, and Ethan felt a sudden warmth bloom in his chest.
The fact that she wanted to hear his exnation–that alone told him she still tr
