Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 363: The woman giggled and playfully swatted at him. Louis squeezed her butt. Quick to grasp his desires, she kneeled obediently, ready to entertain. The subordinate remained unbothered by the spectacle. "There's another batch of drugs in the trial phase. Should we go and discuss a partnership?" he suggested. Casually, Louis poured wine over the woman's head, watching it trickle down her face, enhancing the scene's playful indulgence. "I've been missing Miss Higgins lately," he said, a hint of nostalgia in his tone.

With a knowing smirk, his subordinate responded, "She's certainly more intriguing than our current company." As Louis's thoughts wandered back to Callie, his interest in the woman before him waned. "Arrange a meeting. Find some guys similar to her past encounters, ensuring they are impeccable." "Consider it done." After sealing their deal, Ethan brought Veda back home, securing Louis's complete trust. Their collaboration intensified. On the flight, Veda often found her gaze lingering on Ethan, aware that her presence was part of a deal.

Despite this, her fascination with him only deepened with each passing day. Being around him, she felt an unparalleled sense of security. Rumors had reached Veda that Ethan was married to a beautiful woman whom he adored deeply. This news left Veda disheartened, yet she clung to the hope of spending just one night with him to find contentment. She had resolved that only Ethan would be the one with whom she'd share her first time. After the plane touched down, Veda reluctantly left with Jackson as Ethan headed to the villa alone.

"Bonnie..." Nyla said, intending to caution her against such harshness, but she held her tongue. "Join us for dinner. Austen can come too," Ethan suggested as he removed his jacket, his voice warmer than it had been outside. "Oh, the boss is feeling generous today. Let's do barbecue tonight, Nyla!" Bonnie exclaimed, seizing the moment. She wasn't so upset with Ethan's action of restricting Nyla's freedom as she was weary of his demeanor. Open discussions could prevent many conflicts. Why let matters deteriorate this far? Did he want Nyla to abandon all hope?

That evening, they indeed grilled barbecue. But with Ethan remaining upstairs, Nyla appeared preoccupied, something Bonnie and Austen couldn't help but notice. "I have to discuss something with Ethan. Go ahead without me," Austen said, setting his fork aside and heading upstairs. "Nyla, are you still considering leaving him?" Bonnie asked. . . .
