Episode-4: Having Lunch At University (II)

Meanwhile,

Another Side,

"uh... David ordered the breakfast for me. I want bacon, coffee, and two eggs." Diana said while changing the side of her sleeping posture.

"Get up; your lapdog is looking for you", David wore his shirt and said to Diana.

As soon as he woke up, he heard a notification from Diana's phone and also saw the message from Ethan, which he had sent last night.

"Why? What is he saying now?" Diana turned to him and asked, still lazy and not wanting to get up from bed yet.

David turned to face her with an amusing smile on his face, "He asked you to get a marriage certificate, and it's already 11:30. Do you think he will wait till 6 PM until the bureau closes, or he'll come find you after some time?" He even waved the phone in front of her.

"Is it?"

"Yes, take a look at this message yourself" David handed over the phone to her and hugged her from back while sitting behind her.

Diana unlocked her phone and saw the message on U-Chat. He indeed sent a message last night.

"Whatever. He is as boring as ever."

"Do you want to give him a call or go over there"

"No. This is his choice to ask and wait but why should I play along with him in this boring game." Diana carelessly shrugs off before leaning into David's arm and stealing a kiss from his lips.

"Anyway, you are better than him in all ways. He only has a little money and that small apartment. I also never saw him with any of his family members, maybe they also despise this second-generation son who knows nothing aside from sitting at home." she turned and hugged his neck, smiling in satisfaction.

"But you are different. You have name fame and prestige and suit me in all ways."

"Silly. Get ready to eat breakfast then I'll take you to look around the office as I have promised"

"Hm."

Another side,

JM GROUP,

"Ethan, are you going to hide your identity from sister-in-law also? Did you know each other beforehand that you made such a hasty decision to get married to her?" Isaiah asked, looking at the aloof man on the couch, who was giving all his attention to his phone.

Ish! My sister-in-law will be pissed off by this man today or tomorrow given his mistress sticking close to him all the time.

"He should have married his phone" Isaiah mumbled subconsciously.

"Pfft-and how will he have an heir of his own then?" Jordan laughed and commented.

"Did I say it aloud? Forget it even if you heard so what? If he is so busy with his phone, my sister-in-law will eventually leave, and he will have to download his heir through his phone mistress. We ain't that digital yet"

Ethan raised his head and looked at Isaiah before saying unhurriedly, "You sure are too free. Why don't you just be a bird? Don't land on the ground next time"

"Meh! Mean" Isaiah scoff. He is a pilot, and he understands what this man means why not landing

Jordan laughed and turned his face at Ethan, "Now that you got married....a contractual basis? To satisfy your family?"

"No" Ethan looked at him and slowly answered resolutely.

Jordan continued, "Good. Then you should keep your distance from Diana from now on. You had done too much for her. You need to know she doesn't need you or you don't need to be responsible for her for the rest of your life. Now that you are married, I hope you are clear-minded and know what you should and shouldn't do."

"I know. I have decided to walk past the past so I'll do it."

"Great!!! Ethan, do you need me to bring some good wine for the celebration? From the photo, I can see my sister-in-law is a beautiful, virtuous and good-tempered woman. You got a good wife for yourself," Isaiah said cheerfully, laughing and leaning on the couch, spreading his limbs wide.

At the mention of Genesis, Ethan's mind went back to the three years ago meeting where he first saw her. She was a little different from those women he had met so far in the blind date his mom had arranged for him. Usually, all those women just keep their focus on him, trying to pry into his life and find topics to talk about and subconsciously boost their merits in front of him....in a nutshell, their admiration yet desire to have him and climb up was quite apparent.

When he met Genesis for the first time, she collided with him while walking; Ethan faced these tricks many times and was waiting for the follow-up sentence after this: 'I didn't do this internationally; please forgive me. Can I have your number to treat you to a meal as my apology?' but nothing like this happened; she simply picked up her phone, which she dropped and left after saying "sorry", breaking all the prejudice he has in his mind.

This was the first time someone did not turn to see him or make lines just to talk to him.

Later, when he went into the private room, he saw his mother with her school friend Mrs. Rodrigo.

He sat there at the table; not soon after, the door opened by the attendant, and a woman stepped in; that was Genesis, the woman he just met in the corridor. Both were surprised to see, but she still did not rely on the fact that she met outside to strike up a conversation. She mainly focused on her mother and his mother, talking to them patiently and holding a graceful, elegant aura.

A sudden meeting between two friends' children, they weren't so naive do not understand the meaning behind this. At that time he denied the idea of meeting another time because he was already looking after Diana, but he did meet Genesis in a few events.

"Where are you going?" Jordan asked seeing Ethan get up with his blazer.

"To Have lunch"

"Take us too," Isaiah said.

"I'll be having with her. You two eat together," Ethan left, leaving his words behind for them.

"Hey Jordan, He has changed...a little don't you think so?"

"Hm. Indeed. Humans are complicated creatures. If one is pushed too hard to the edge, he or she can change into someone else, having a completely different behaviour pattern. The disappointment accumulated day by day for five years, and now the pot is overflowing. This day ought to come. He did not change suddenly, but the disappointment and rejection made him take this step. We should support our friend in this"

"Right"

"But....I wasn't talking about that. Hey, don't go dude listen to me"
