He cancelled all his business appointments for the whole month .
After an hour of conversing with Alex, Ethan called Larry to cancel all his business appointment for the whole month . As expected, Larry was trying to obtain the reason why but Ethan chose not to disclose anything . He even talked to Charlotte not to release any information about what she saw in Estrella City .
If the Mikasa family learnt about Alex, everyone will surely flock to Estrella City and Ethan doesn"t want that to happen . It"s not because he was selfish but he doesn"t want to alarm the woman for the time being . He wanted to gain her trust first before disclosing everything, so it won"t scare her away .
After talking to Larry, Ethan dialed another number .
"I have a work for you . " he uttered when the man answered on the other line .
"What is it?" the guy replied .
"I need you to check on someone for me . search everything about her . "
"Who is the lucky person?"
"Alex . Alex Miran . "
"Not a problem . I"ll send you the report in two days . " Then he hung up .
Eddie was one of his trusted detective friend . Since he is working with the NBI government, he shouldn"t have a hard time working on this a.s.signment .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntAlex… he mumbled while staring at her resume in his hands . Then he averted his gaze on the sky . His lip twitched a little as he closes his eyes . guess he will be staying for a month or so in Estrella .
It will definitely be a fun stay! He grinned .
"Eli…" he muttered his son"s name when he remembered his prayer . "Make my dad happy…"
Guess the Lord answered the child"s prayer . Ah! He couldn"t wait for tomorrow to see that woman . he will surely try to help her recover her memory silently .
Aisha, let"s have a few memories for the meantime . He thought .
On the other hand, Alex was wearing an indescribable happiness . She was more than contented with what Ethan offered her as her basic salary . It is more than enough to support her and her child .
She was oblivious on her surrounding as she treks the way to the hotel exit when someone suddenly grabbed her arm . She would have fell on the floor if she didn"t act fast . Good thing she has fast reflexes .
"Miss Sheila?" she was surprise when she saw an angry woman wearing an eyegla.s.s that doesn"t conform with her appearance .
"So what is this? are you trying to pull me down by accusing me of terminating you unjustly?" the woman was fuming with anger .
"What? I have never accused you nor anyone! what are you saying?!" she yelped .
"Don"t try to act innocently in front of me . women like you will do anything just to be on the top . And look at you, getting favor from the CEO all of a sudden?" she scoffed .
"Miss Sheila, I don"t know what you"re talking about . " She raised her brow and was about to leave but the manager seemed to have uttered something that caught her attention .
"Did you offer your body to the CEO? For how much?"
Her eyes widened in disbelief . That was a red flag on her part . All her life, even when she was having some rough days, she had never offered her body to anyone just to obtain their favor . Her pride was insulted, so she spun around glaring at the woman . ah, she wanted to kill someone right now .
The manager suddenly felt a chill on her spine . The mere employee was glaring at her murderously . She was not the kind and graceful woman anymore . she can"t even find her sheep side, instead, she is looking at a lion right now! why is she feeling frightened all of a sudden? Dang! this woman is so creepy . What"s with this aura? she thought .
"Manager Sheila Yang, could you repeat what you just said?" her gaze was murderous and her tone was rough . She is emitting a dreadful aura .
The manager staggered backwards and she can"t hide her trembling knees . Alex was able to sense that and was ready to engage in any kind of fight when her phone suddenly rings .
That b.i.t.c.hy manager was saved by the ring .
She didn"t have the time to glance at the caller id but she answered the phone a little rude .
"What?" she yelled .
"Miss Alex, I think you have forgotten something . " a masculine voice echoed from the other line . she gawked when she realized that it was Ethan .
"S-sir…" she softens . "I"m sorry, but I don"t think I left something . " she was searching her shoulder bag to see if she"s missing some of her stuff .
Then the manager took the chance to leave the woman while searching her items . She"s definitely scary . she looks like someone who was ready to devour her prey . Dang! the manager cursed inside her .
After searching her bag, she noticed that Sheila left her and so she snorted . "That b.i.t.c.h!" she didn"t know that she uttered her thought .
"What? did you just call me a b.i.t.c.h?" Ethan replied .
"Eh? No!" she exclaimed . "It"s not you sir . " she bit her lower lip in embarra.s.sment as she exited the premises after making sure that she didn"t leave anything behind .
Unknown to Alex, Ethan was watching her from afar while holding a small brown parka . He was planning to go after the woman when he spotted the raucous between her and the manager at the lobby .
He was not supposed to call her cellphone but when he sensed the eerie ambiance, his instinct convinced him that the woman was about to do something crazy base on her facial appearance . that deadly atmosphere surrounding Alex… only Aisha could emit such a lethal aura! he smirked . Seems like the old nature was hard to change especially if it was already a part of one"s life . now his hopes have risen .
The woman was walking towards the bus stop when a car suddenly appeared . Dang! she"ll be run over! She wanted to run but she couldn"t even move her feet . Anyway, it is too late . she"ll die .
She closed her eyes .
But what was that force? Did someone grab her on the waist? 1-2-3, she slowly opened her eyes and tapped her cheeks . Ah, she"s alive! a tear of joy escaped her eyes .
"Are you okay?" she heard a masculine voice shadowed with care . then she looked at the man who just saved her .
"S-sir Ethan?" she tweaked .
"Are you hurt somewhere?" he was staring at her eyes as he worriedly inquired about her condition without letting go of her . the woman was holding on his chest as well .
"I-I"m fine… t-thank you…" their eyes not breaking away . She could feel the awkwardness of their position but at the same time, a feeling of familiarity . Why does she feel like this had happen before? de javu? But how could she explain her body responding to his touch naturally?
Then her eyes landed on the man"s red lips . the wanting to touch it, the desire to kiss it… she gulped . What is happening to her? isn"t it strange to feel that way towards a man whom you just met? She"s controlling her urges by biting her lower lip .
Ethan must have sense her urge and so his lips twitched as if teasing the woman . that moment, Alex came to her senses and pushed the man away .
"I"m sorry!" she guiltily voiced when she saw the man staggered backwards .
Ethan suddenly chuckled mockingly . "Is that how you thank your savior?"
Alex pouted embarra.s.s . Then after a few seconds, she uttered a soft thank you .
Earlier, she was in a trance when a scene suddenly replayed in her mind . she was kissing someone pa.s.sionately, but she couldn"t see the man"s face . that was the time Ethan smirked and so she pushed him away . But wait, was that from her memories? Or could it be just her imagination? She"s not sure too .

"hey? s.p.a.cing out again?" he tapped the woman who looked at him surprised . "If you keep s.p.a.cing out, you will surely get into an accident . "
"Sorry . " she kowtowed apologetically . "But thank you for saving me . " she smiled .
Ethan"s heart suddenly skipped a beat . Then when the pedestrian light turned green, Ethan suddenly grabbed the woman"s hand and held it on his and crossed the lane hand in hand . The woman was taken aback but surprisingly, she didn"t feel uncomfortable .
"Where are we going?" she innocently asked .
The man looked at her and grinned but didn"t answer her question . That kind of sly smile, why does she feels like he is about to do something she hates the most? She suddenly creased her brow . and the wanting to escape from his grip run wildly in her head . His definitely into something!
