17 CHAPTER 17: LEWD MR. DOUGLAS

Aisha was the one who prepared the breakfast since she doesn't have to go to work early. Ethan gave her a new schedule following the 8 hours shift for the day. they also agreed to reinstate Kian's job because Aisha insisted. After preparing Eli to school, she the prepares Ethan's bath.

"Are you sure of dropping me to work today? Won't you be late?" Aisha asks Ethan.

"It's okay, my appointment with Mr. Douglas is in the afternoon anyway,"

"But will you really wait for me after work? Coz I don't think that's a good idea."Ethan look at her direction. She is putting in the black shoes he gave her last night.

"Do you want Kian to send you home instead?'' he was annoyed.

"hey!" she glared at him, "That's not what I mean. I was--- ahhh! Okay fine!" she gave up. She stood up to see herself in the mirror after she puts in her new flat shoes. She is thankful. At least she won't be having a hard time standing all day with her heels on.

Ethan smiled when he saw that the shoes suits her. Despites not wearing heels, it is very evident that she has long lean legs. Ethan also told her that she can wear black skinny jeans or at least slacks but she declined. She can't afford to blow her cover. She loves to do it but her workmates might think negatively about her special treatment so she settled with their pencil cut short skirt. Ethan was upset because he knew how other guys eyed her when she's at work. Aisha surely knew it that's why she's been pulling her skirt down from time to time. it's already a relief that no one dared to touch her yet, aside from Kian who's ogling around her lately.

"See you later, Mr. Williams." Aisha kissed Ethan before getting off the car. Aisha told them to drop her in the parking area to avoid people seeing them together. Larry saw his boss smiling from ear to ear, it was his first time to see his boss smiled after a long time. after dropping Stacy, they headed directly to the company.

It was a rare sight for the company employee to see Ethan in a good mood. For the whole morning during their business discussions and reports, they find it odd not to hear any curse or howl from their boss even if he found a lot of loopholes on their reports. He gave them chances to make another good reports. They were shocked and rumors started spreading around. Some gossips say that their boss was possessed, some says that he already divorced her unfaithful wife, some even says that he found a new wife. Rumors are everywhere.

Angel, who is in the company that day overheard the rumors so she decided to visit Ethan in his office. She found Ethan beaming while looking at his phone. He looks like a teenager who received a text from her crush.

"So the rumors are true, huh." Angel said when she walks in. Ethan look at her.

"Angel! It's been a while." He puts down his phone.

"I just arrived from visiting my dad in Japan. I drop by to see if you are available for lunch."

"My appointment with Mr. Douglas is in the afternoon. I won't mind joining you since you're already here."

Ethan and Angel went into a fine Japanese dining restaurant since Angel loves Japanese cuisine. Angel Lockwood is a half Japanese and half American child who grew up in the United States. Her parents are one of the biggest investor of their company. Master Omni loves her and wanted Ethan to marry her. However, since Ethan saw Stacy, he defied his grandfather for the very first time. Angel likes Ethan but she chose to keep their friendship when Ethan married Stacy. She came back after staying in Japan for a year. She heard some rumors about Stacy's infidelity that's why she came back in hopes that Ethan would want her as a wife.

"So how are you and Stacy? I heard a lot. I hope you're okay," she purposely diverted their topic.

"We're doing just fine." He smiled.

"I heard about the divorce. I hope it's not true?'' Angel's tone is more of a question. She was actually hoping to hear it from Ethan but Ethan laugh and shrugs it off.

"I hope we're not here to talk about my marriage life, because I'm doing perfectly just fine." He stated.

"Well, you say so." Angel was disappointed not to hear what she wants to hear but she didn't press it further. They talked about business. after some time, Ethan bid farewell since he has an appointment for the afternoon.

An investor named Douglas wants to invest in their clothing manufacturing business so he wants to see the latest designs that they have. Ethan decided to show him the manufacturing site. After that, they went to the White Lotus Store. Mr. Douglas was pleased to see the manufacturing site but he was delighted to see all the latest fashion designs displayed in the store. Ethan was accompanied by Larry and Dorothy, her secretary as they tour Mr. Douglas with his personal assistant. While roaming around, Mr. Douglas spotted a beauty who is assisting a female artist and showing their new designs. She was smiling from time to time. Ethan caught the investors' eyes looking at her wife Stacy. He was irritated.

"I never knew how beautiful your staffs here are. It's actually perfect! As you know I have a lot of top models in my company and I would like to see some of your new designs for them." Mr. Douglas stated.

"That's not a problem Mr. Douglas. I can ask our models to show you some of our top selling dresses." Ethan answered.

"I don't want any models. I want her." He points Stacy. Ethan is enraged but his Personal Assistant Larry seizes his hands. He swerves his head in disapproval.

"She looks like one of my models, I believe her body would give justice to this beautiful ornaments."Ethan never said a word but Larry approach Stacy and explained to her the situation. She wants to refuse. She looks at Ethan in hope that he will save her but Ethan coldly looked away. She was a bit hurt but if she can't do it, Ethan might lose this so called investor. With a heavy heart, she agreed.

Aisha wore all the dresses that Mr. Douglas chose. It's pretty obvious that he is enjoying watching this lovely lady. She looks good in everything. He even dared to choose a revealing dress but Ethan dissuades him. he was dying to take pictures of her but Ethan stopped him.

"Sorry Mr. Douglas, but we don't allow anyone to take pictures of any of our employees nor our designs. Company policy. I hope you understand that." He icily said.

After that, Mr. Douglas persuade Ethan to bring Stacy along for their coffee time. He didn't have a choice but to bring her.

"It's a pleasure to meet such a beauty like you Miss Stacy." Mr. Douglas said. "Do you have a boyfriend?" he continued.

"I don't have one." Aisha answered. Ethan looked at her fiercely.

"Oh! I don't know if I will believe you Miss Stacy. But with that beauty, you can seduce anyone." Mr. Douglas eyed her lewdly. He's been staring at her exposed legs since they were inside the store. Aisha can feel it but she can't do anything. After a while, Ethan covered her legs with his jacket which stuns Aisha, as well as Mr. Douglas.

"It's cold. You might get sick.'' Ethan reasoned.

"Such a gentleman, huh." Mr. Douglas scoff. "by the way Stacy, perhaps you want to be a model? I can make you the country's top model of all time!" he suggested.

"Thank you Mr. Douglas but I am not interested. I told you that I do not have a boyfriend because I am already married. I have an alluring husband and a very smart son. I don't want to divide my time with them. Please excuse me, I'll just use the bathroom." She was irritated. Aisha stood and went to the bathroom. She is not aware that Mr. Douglas also went to the restroom and is waiting for her at the entrance.

'Mr. Douglas!" she was startled to see him. Mr. Douglas looks at her with lust. He slowly walks towards her with a wicked smile.
