I gave him eight years, she gave him sugar babies:now I’m ceo and they’re bankrupt Novel

Chapter 5 As the box was opened , a pink toy with a goofy grin slowly came into view - a Pink Plush Bunny , lying snugly in the silk - lined compartment that had been custom - made for a priceless teapot . The room fell silent . The air itself froze . The smile on Ethan's face stiffened halfway . Mr. Lewis's expression , which had just softened , instantly darkened to the color of thunder . His jaw tightened , and he muttered under his breath , voice cold with disgust . " What a damn mess . " Then he turned on his heel and stormed off . " Mr. Lewis ! " Ethan's soul nearly left his body .

He lunged forward to block the man's way . " It's a misunderstanding ! I swear , there's been a mix - up ! " The vein on his temple bulged as he glared furiously at Lila . - " Where's the teapot ? The one I told you to bring the antique purple clay teapot ! Where is it ? " Startled by his tone , Lila shrank back , eyes wide and pitiful . " Ethan , I'm sorry ... I accidentally broke it ... " Ethan looked as if lightning had struck him . His whole body went rigid . Still oblivious , Lila beamed proudly as she lifted the pink toy from the box .

" But I replaced it with my favorite Pink Plush Bunny ! " " Look , Ethan - aren't I clever ? " Ethan's hands trembled as he grabbed her wrist . " When did it break ? Why didn't you tell me ?

But I worked really hard ! I ordered an identical one online right away , but shipping was slow .

" " Then I thought , well , Pink Plush Bunny is super popular right now , so I put it in instead ! I figured Mr. Lewis would love it too ! " Ethan nearly fainted from rage . " That teapot was worth half a million dollars ! Do you even know how much that plastic toy costs ? Lila , are you completely out of your mind ? " " Why are you yelling at me ? " she cried , tears spilling like broken pearls . " I didn't mean to break it ! I tried to fix it ! Why are you so mean to your adorable little bunny ? " Her tear - streaked face trembled with fragile innocence .

Half of Ethan's fury instantly burned out . He sighed , looking torn , then finally softened his tone . " Alright , alright - don't cry , sweetheart . I wasn't yelling , okay ? I was just ... anxious , that's all . " There they were , standing in the middle of the private dining room - one sobbing pitifully , the other frantically coaxing her - completely lost in their own ridiculous little bubble . What a perfect scene . A live drama for the whole world to see . In my past life , I had been the one who took out my father's prized teapot to calm Mr. Lewis down .

This time , I wasn't going to step in . Mr. Lewis and his assistant looked utterly dumbfounded . They had come here to discuss business , not to watch a soap opera . Mr. Lewis's patience ran dry . He cast one last look of disgust at the couple , then strode toward the elevator . Ethan panicked , but one glance at the sobbing Lila stopped him in his tracks . He stood there , sweating , completely torn , before finally turning to me with desperate eyes . " Madison ! You're on good terms with Mr. Lewis . Go talk to him . Calm him down for me .

" I nodded calmly and followed . Just as the elevator doors were about to close , I slipped in and pressed the button . Of course , I'd calm Mr. Lewis down . I'd even make sure the deal went through . But this time , the business would no longer belong to the Reeds . " Mr. Lewis , " I said with a polite , confident smile . 7 اله " They're young and foolish . I apologize for their behavior .
