"She won"t be able to move her left arm for 2 weeks. Though it"s a good thing that she didn"t have any severe injury on her head or spine." Doctor Sonny explained to Ethan.

"Young lady, be careful next time. Next time might be an unlucky day for you,." The doctor faces her

"Thank you Doctor. I"ll make sure that they"re would be no next time for such a thing like this." she laugh sheepishly.

"I"ll see my way out then." He excuse himself.

"Thank you Doctor." Ethan bid him goodbye. He look at her with disappointment. Aisha looked away.

"I"ll just call Larry to tell him that I won"t be able to go to work today." She mumbles.

"Don"t bother calling Larry coz You don"t have to work at the White Lotus Store moving forward." He said as he sat on the bedside beside her.

"B-but why? Are you terminating me?" She probed.

"Yes." He was firm.

"Ethan!" She cried. Ethan stood up as he strode to one of the cabinets in the room. He looked for a certain doc.u.ment.

"From now on you will a.s.sume the position as the Chief Manager of White Lotus. You will be working directly at Saphiro Gentz Empire as soon as your completely healed.

"Y-you mean at the same company? With you?" She ask.

"Yes," he smiles at her. Aisha"s eyes glint with excitement.

" B-but I don"t know what to do, yet.." she frown. Then Ethan handed her the doc.u.ment he took at the drawer.

"W-what is this?" She asked.

"It contains all the information that you need to know about your department. Study that for the next 2 weeks. After that, I will personally help you when you a.s.sume your responsibility." He tapped her head. She smiled at him.

"Okay, I will."

"I"ll go ahead then. If you need anything just call our household staffs to a.s.sist you. Don"t stress yourself too much." He kiss her before exiting the room. Aisha blush with his sudden affection.

***Since Aisha cannot leave the house due to her injury, she dedicated her time for the whole week taking care of Eli. While a.s.sisting Eli, she was able to finish reading all the doc.u.ments that Ethan handed her. She furthers her knowledge by reading more books as her reference. At the same time, she is also in contact with hunter. She needs information about the bounty hunters and if he has any information using the phone that she took from one of them. The night that she went to hunter, she gave him all the details of what transpired during her conversation with the bounty leader. She also left the phone that she took in hope that the client will call. But according to hunter, no one called the phone. Seems like the people who wants her dead knew what happen. They are not easy to deal with. They know what they"re doing. They are smart. Whoever these people are, they surely know how the underworld operates.

**After the first week, Doctor Sonny remove the cast on Aisha"s arm. She can move it but not to the full extent. She then decided to visit Ethan in his office. She wants to surprise his husband so she cooked some meals for their lunch. She ask Mr.Tanner to drop her at the company.


"Whoa! It"s definitely the biggest and tallest building around the city." Aisha was so amazed. She was about to enter the building but the guards stopped him.

"Sorry Miss but you can"t enter the building." one of The guard told her. She crease a brow.

"I"m here to see Mr. Williams. Ethan Saphiro Williams." She said casually. The guard eyed her from head to toe. The lady infront of her is just wearing a plane white V-neck s.h.i.+rt paired with a gray tight jeans. But she"s definitely pretty. She"s bloomingly gorgeous.

"Do we have a problem?" She asked when she noticed how the guard eyed her.

"N-none miss. It"s just that-----" he doesnt know how to tell her without any intent of insult. He just pointed out the ladies who are about to enter the building. Aisha followed her finger. Then she saw the ladies outfit. They are all wearing business suits, if not, they are all dress up with heavy make-up. She understood what the guard means. She look at herself and mock her outfit inside her head. She laughed.

"Sir, I totally understand what you mean." She laughs. " But can you at least consider me just this once? I came here to bring my husband"s lunch."

"But miss I thought you"re here to see Mr. Williams? " He was confuse.

"Yes." She smiles at him. Then realization hit the guard.

"I-I"m sorry Miss. Are you perhaps----?"

"Stacy. Stacy Hertiz Williams." She smiled. The guard hold his breath.

"I-I"m sorry Miss Williams. Please forgive my rudeness. I didn"t know coz I haven"t seen you in person." He stammered as he explained himself.

"It"s okay. I know your just doing your job. But can you show me the way to his office?" She answered politely.

"O-of course Miss Stacy." The guard called another personnel and directed him to guide Stacy to where Ethan"s office is.

The other personnel went with her but he left her when they reach the front door to the secretary"s desk.

"Please get inside Miss Stacy. his secretary will guide you through."

"Thank you." She said before the personnel left her.

Aisha knocks on the door before entering. She found Dorothy at her desk talking on the phone. Dorothy signaled her to come in. So she did. After her call, Dorothy lead her inside Ethan"s office then she left her there. Stacy place the paper bag on top of the sofa table then she roam around the office. It"s huge. He probably sleeps sometimes since there is a big fluffy couch inside. There"s also a widescreen LED TV adjacent to the couch. The walls are made of clear gla.s.s. She can see the beautiful blue sky outside. The other houses and buildings seems so small when you look at it from where she is right now. The people looks like little ants. She smiled.

Dorothy told her that Ethan is in a business conference and he will be back in the office after an hour. She told her not to inform Ethan about her waiting inside. She wants to surprise her but she feels sleepy while waiting so she laid her body down the couch for the meantime but she doze of to sleep.

After A while, Ethan came in but he didn"t notice Aisha who"s sleeping on the couch. Angel was with him. Ethan has a foul mood at that moment because one of the client refused his entry at the North Side Country for his coastline project.

"d.a.m.n that client!" He punch his table. Aisha move. She heard Ethan but she also heard a woman"s voice. She didn"t wake up. She was curious. The she heard the woman speak.

"Don"t worry Ethan. We will definitely get that project soon." Her voice is somehow seductive. aisha was annoyed.

Angel stood behind him. "Let me ease your stress for a while." Then she touch his back shoulders and gently ma.s.sage it. Ethan lean on his chair with his eyes close. He"s enjoying her hands. Aisha saw them at the television screen. Her heart sting a bit.

Aisha stood up with her annoyed face.

"Stacy?" Angel was surprised. As soon as Ethan heard her name, he openned his eyes. He looked at her.

"Stacy? What are you doing here?" Ethan ask in surprise.

Aisha glared at him, she looks like she can murder someone anytime. She stared at angel"s hand still holding Ethan"s broad shoulders. She glared at them full of contempt.

She took the paper bag and hurriedly went out. She bang the door!

"Stacy! Wait!" Ethan quickly stood up and chase after her.

"Dorothy, please take this. I believe you haven"t taken your lunch yet!" She was irritated.

"Stacy!" Ethan approach her. "I"m sorry I didn"t know you where here." He said in a calm voice. She was holding her anger.

"How would you know when you"re busy flirting with another woman!" She yelled at him.

Ethan was surprise while Dorothy wanted to laugh but she held it. Love quarrel infront of her? Its very new.

"I-it"s not what you think okay. Stacy,look at me!" Ethan grab her shoulder so she can face him. She look away, still mad at him.

"Where not doing any---------"

"I dont care!" She cut him off. "I don"t care what you do or what you"re doing and I don"t care what you wanna do. It"s your life anyway. If you want to flirt with her then fine! Go! I was a fool to think about surprising my husband with this d.a.m.n lunch!" She was yelling like a child.

Dorothy can"t Contain her laugh any longer.

"Jealousy is in the air.. hmmm.. " Dorothy hums mockingly.

"Stacy! I told you it"s not what you think,okay?" Ethan patiently explained.

"What am I thinking anyway? She"s just your employee? Fine! She"s just a friend? Fine! And I am just a bothersome wife! So I"m going home! then you can continue what your doing!" She removed Ethan"s hands from her shoulder then she hurried towards the door. Ethan laugh at her childishness. He chase her and pulled her arm. He embraced her.

"I"m sorry, okay.. I"m sorry. I"m sorry that your husband is so handsome," he teased her. Aisha pinched his side.

Angel heard the commotion outside his office so she came out.

"Stacy, I"m sorry. It"s not what you think. I"m just relieving his stress a while ago. I didn"t know you where there." Angel explained. Aisha looked away. She was embarra.s.s.

"I"ll see myself out then," Ethan smiled at her apologetically. Then Angel left.

"Am I still going to eat this? Coz I am super starving." Dorothy smirk while looking at them.

"I"m sure your boss is full since he was enjoying her woman"s ma.s.sage!" She pouted after glaring at him. Dorothy laughs but Ethan raises his brow.

"Are you jealous?" He was laughing. He quickly pull her close then he kissed her lips for G.o.d knows how long. She blushed at the thought of Dorothy watching.

"Would that be enough to compensate my wife"s effort?" He teases her after he released her lips.

"I dont care. I"m going home." She look away as she cross her arms on her chest. Ethan was enjoying looking at her wife"s jealous reaction. He look at Dorothy.

"Dorothy you can have a 2 hours lunch break for today but make sure to clear my schedule for that 2 hours. I dont want anyone to disturb "US" for the next hours.. " Ethan said. Dorothy jump in happiness. She was overwhelm.

"Yes!" She shouted then went near Aisha. She hold her hand than she embrace her.

"A big thanks to you Miss Stacy!" She said happily. "You"re an angel in disguise!" She kissed her cheek then exited the office jumping and dancing.

"Where you that strict to your employees?" She ask Ethan curiously. He laugh.

"As for my thoughtful wife, please Stay with your handsome husband today.." He pulled her to his chest as he planted a kiss on her forehead. He took the paper bag at Dorothy"s table then entered his office.

*** Angel was in deep thought while walking out of the building.

"What was that? Stacy never gets mad before. not even if she sees us so close at each other. hmmm.. what happened? There"s something wrong with her... I just cant point it out yet.. I guess I"ll be watching her for the time being.. " Angel told herself.
