Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 224: Messing with My Woman?
Selena Quinn suddenly leaned close to Ethan Sterling and whispered something softly. ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ก.๐๐๐ถ
Ethan Sterling heard and started to laugh, causing the women outside the door to gasp. This smile was truly captivating.
Sunlight was pouring over them, making them look like they were glowingโit was a beautiful scene.
Seraphina Redgrave was somewhat surprised. How did the relationship between those two suddenly become so good?
Did she miss something over the past few days?
In the office, Selena Quinn shyly withdrew her gaze, worried about leaving an impression of being too infatuated.
She gently asked, "Brother, are you here to pick up Sylvia?"
Ethan Sterling had been there for a while, and she still couldnโt quite believe it.
Because earlier, Ethan Sterling had stepped into the office, instructed the bodyguards to chase away the idle people present, and even, the bodyguards said, Young Master Sterling was here to pick up his sister.
To pick up his sister.
These three words were the most melodious she had ever heard in her life.
Her heart was pounding wildly, but she knew she couldnโt rush things; everything had to be taken step by step.
"..."
Ethan Sterling said nothing, fully focused on fiddling with Seraphina Redgraveโs pen, leaving Selena Quinn unable to decipher his intentions.
She steadied herself and continued, "Brother, I know Iโm just a cover. I truly admire your relationship with Sylvia. Donโt worry, I definitely wonโt tell anyone about you two, and in the future, if you want to pick up Sylvia, you can always use me as an excuse."
Her eyes lit up with joy.
If things really developed this way, she wasnโt worried about not being able to win Ethan Sterlingโs heart.
Ethan Sterling stopped his actions and pulled open the drawer.
The documents inside were neatly organized, clean and tidy, just like her.
In his mind, Ethan Sterling once again conjured up the image of this petite woman, and the sharpness in his eyes involuntarily softened somewhat.
He closed the drawer, then turned to look at Selena Quinn, raising an eyebrow as he said, "Iโm here for you."
"!"
Selena Quinn was stunned in place, that sentence was undoubtedly like a bomb, exploding in her heart, but what emerged were colorful fireworks.
"Come with me."
After speaking, Ethan Sterling stood and left.
Selena Quinn stood there, her fingertips trembling with excitement.
What did Ethan Sterling mean?
Had he finally discovered her goodness?
Was he finally going to ask about her illness?
Ever since she had fallen for Ethan Sterling, he had never given any response, and with him being so proactive today, how could she not be excited?
The color finally returned to Selena Quinnโs pale face as she composed herself, put on what she thought was the most pleasant smile, and stood up to follow Ethan Sterling.
Seraphina Redgrave stood outside the door, watching as Ethan Sterling passed by her, calm and composed, yet not sparing her a single glance.
"Brother! Wait a moment for me."
As she passed by Seraphina Redgrave, Selena Quinn called out, then jogged to catch up, her fingers seemingly unintentionally brushed against Ethan Sterlingโs arm.
Ethan Sterling glanced sideways but didnโt say anything.
The two walked forward together, gradually fading from Seraphina Redgraveโs sight.
Her gaze was emotionless, calmly watching the direction in which they left, feeling a twinge of something unusual inside.
Their relationship improved faster than she had imagined.
Unexpected.
Seraphina Redgrave once thought that making Ethan Sterling fall for Selena Quinn was as challenging as rebuilding Veridian Isle.
Unexpectedly, progress had been made so quickly.
After Ethan Sterling left, the bodyguards also retreated, and the coworkers returned to their respective desks one by one.
Seraphina Redgrave walked to her seat, sat down, and opened her computer to wrap up todayโs work.
She pressed a few keys without any response.
Was the computer broken? Seraphina Redgrave was a bit annoyed and clicked the mouse irritably, yet suddenly a few large words appeared on the computer screen, looking extremely arrogant:
[I miss you!]
"..."
Seraphina Redgrave nodded; this manโs tricks were really numerous.
Wasnโt he here to find Selena Quinn? Why did he have to tamper with her computer too?
Annoying.
Seraphina Redgrave tapped the keyboard, unlocking the program, then prepared to proofread the documents.
But when she saw the words about Veridian Isle on it, her heart felt congested as if nothing could get through.
Forget it, if she couldnโt concentrate, she wouldnโt look at it.
Seraphina Redgrave stood up, deciding to go see Ethan Sterling and Selena Quinn; she really needed to understand their current situation.
Seraphina Redgrave lifted her leg to head out.
...
Ethan Sterling led Selena Quinn into a conference room.
He casually sat at the head position, patiently watching Selena Quinn.
This left Selena Quinn somewhat clueless, "Brother, is there something you want to say to me?"
It didnโt seem like it was to thank her.
A few bodyguards then entered, climbing on chairs to dismantle all the cameras in the conference room.
Before leaving, they thoughtfully closed the door.
The entire conference room was hauntingly quiet.
"Brother, you..."
What was he going to do?
Ethan Sterling slowly unfastened his tie, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, then took off his watch.
He stood up, slowly walking towards Selena Quinn, the smile on his face completely replaced by a sinister look.
His amber eyes seemed to be brewing a storm, about to sweep someone into pieces the next second.
Selena Quinn felt an inexplicable fear.
Ethan Sterling was getting closer and closer, forcing her to retreat, "Brother, what, what are you going to do, Iโm, Iโm a little scared."
"Scared?" Ethan Sterling sneered, "Did you do something wrong?"
She quickly shook her head, "No."
Selena Quinn loved him, loved everything about him, but now facing his wrath, she was trembling with fear.
"Stand still."
Ethan Sterling impatiently ordered.
Selena Quinn held back her fear, stood up straight, suddenly, as if thinking of something, clenched her fist, and wrapped her arms around Ethan Sterling, "Brother, youโre like this, Iโm really very scared."
"Ah!" Before she finished speaking, Ethan Sterling pushed her away hard, if not for the wall behind her, she would have flown out.
"Cough cough cough..." Selena Quinn felt like her insides were about to fly out.
Ethan Sterlingโs eyes flared with even more intense anger, his calloused hand suddenly grabbing Selena Quinnโs neck, pinning her firmly against the wall.
In her daze, Selena Quinn saw a hint of bloodlust flash in Ethan Sterlingโs eyes.
The air slowly squeezed out of Selena Quinnโs lungs, making her feel like a dying fish, struggling out, "Brother, I, Iโm your sister."
Though they shared no blood relation, he couldnโt kill her.
"So what?"
Ethan Sterling smirked, the malice peaked, "Is that your damn excuse for plotting against my woman?"
Hearing this, Selena Quinnโs eyes widened in shock, not knowing what Ethan Sterling was referring to.
But at this moment, all she could do was deny, "No, Brother, I never plotted against Sylvia."
"Do you think Iโm here to listen to your explanations?"
Ethan Sterling spoke as he increased the force on her neck, lifting her upward.
The sensation of suffocation grew stronger, her feet gradually lifting off the ground, and Selena Quinn feared she was truly going to die.
