Chapter 151 Waiting For His Response


    It was already half past one when J got home that evening.


    Quiet as a mouse, she opened the door and crept inside. Only the sound of the clock ticking on the


    wall could be heard.


    J flicked on the light switch. To her surprise, the sandwich from breakfast was still sitting on the


    table where she left it, and there was not a beer bottle in sight. She walked into the living room in


    her slippers and looked around in confusion, "Ethan?"


    It was sote, but Ethan seemed to not havee back yet.


    Or was he asleep in his room?


    J had half a mind to knock on his bedroom door, but decided against it on second thought. She


    was afraid she''d just wake him up. In the end, she quietly opened his door and poked her head in.


    To her surprise, the room was empty.


    With a slight frown, J decided to wait for Ethan toe back. She wasn''t sleepy anyway.


    After everything that had happened, she was wide awake.


    She popped the sandwich in the microwave to heat it up. She settled on the sofa and watched TV


    while eating. All the while, she kept thinking of what had happened in the elevator.


    About twenty minutester, she heard the sound of the key unlocking the door.


    Ethan stepped inside wearing a simple, clean white T-shirt underneath a ck windbreaker. His


    prominent nose stuck out more than usual, making him look even more handsome.


    Chewing on her sandwich, J looked up at him questioningly. "Why''re you sote?"


    "Night shift. A colleague waste, so I covered his shift for another half an hour," Ethan exined


    briefly.


    As he spoke, he realized he was getting more and more skillful at lying.

    "Oh, do you have night shifts often? I didn''t know you could stay up thiste all the time," J


    said, after thinking about it for a while.


    Ethan shrugged off his coat and sat next to her. "What are you eating? It smells so good."


    He craned his neck to get a bite of her sandwich, then he put his arm around her shoulder and


    pinched it. Raising his eyebrows slightly, he smiled. "You always stay upte. Why are you getting


    so worked up about me staying upte?" Unable to retort, J kept silent and looked down,


    feeling a bit sheepish. He was right. She worked overtime a lot and was oftente to go home.


    "By the way, something happened today," she suddenly said, looking up at him with bright eyes.


    Then she ryed what had happened in the elevator with Brandon.


    On the one hand, she thought it was her responsibility to inform Ethan about this. On the other, she


    was curious to see how he would react to this.


    She was under the impression that Ethan was very tolerant of her boss despite his behavior. So


    since Brandon had crossed the line today, she wondered if Ethan would finally get angry. Otherwise,


    he was a really abnormal man.


    And J wouldn''t be pleased if that was the case.


    Ethan rubbed his eyebrows, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.


    When he heard how J had screamed in the elevator, he tossed logic out of the window and just


    rushed to hug her protectively. In a situation as dangerous as that, if the elevator plunged to the


    ground, he still wanted to protect her.


    But he was Brandon at that time, so it was definitely inappropriate for him to do such a thing.


    Ethan could feel J''s eyes boring into him. She was obviously waiting for him to react.


    Last time, he didn''t show jealousy towards Brandon, which made J unhappy. If he was still


    indifferent to the matter this time, J would definitely break up with him.
