Was this Ethanâs house?
âMr. Hearth, I was drinking with Dulcie last night, and we got drunk... Dulcie probably gave the driver the wrong address, so...â
He should be able to understand the situation at hand, right?
Ethan finally regained his composure. He and Dulcie would occasionally come here for dates. He had told her the password, so he guessed that she and Silvia went drinking nearby last night. Hence, they came over straight after.
âWhereâs Dul?â
Silvia shook her head. âI was about to call her.â
As soon as she said this, Dulcie called out to Ethan from behind.
âEthan, why are you standing at the stairway?â
He frowned when he saw Dulcie walk out of the second bedroom. âWhy did you stay there last night?â
They usually shared the master bedroom when she came over.
Dulcie remained silent.
She had not gotten any answers from him, yet he had the nerve to question her.
âLetâs put our sleeping arrangements aside. When I came over last night, I saw your secretary stealing kisses from you. If I hadnât arrived in time, goodness knows what she wouldâve done. Thereâs no telling if sheâs already taken advantage of you!â
Ethan was visibly surprised. Then, he frowned and said, âIâll get human resources to dismiss her later.â
Dulcie raised an eyebrow in satisfaction. âThatâs more like it. By the way, why did you go out socializing all of a sudden?â
âThe Xander Familyâs third heir from Imperial City visited Ryoln City to check out some projects. Hearth Corporation has always wanted to work with the Xander Family, so I met up with him last night.â
Ethanâs voice was not too loud or soft, and Silvia happened to hear it from the living room downstairs. She was shocked.
Had Zayn come to Ryoln City?

Dulcie did not probe further, and she went downstairs with Ethan.
Seeing that Silvia was awake, she spoke bashfully. âSil, Iâm sorry about last night. I just didnât have the strength to move you upstairs, so I let you sleep on the couch for the night.â
Silvia shook her head and looked at her. âI should be thanking you. If you hadnât brought me back, thereâs no telling what would have happened.â
Ethan frowned at what he heard too. âItâs too dangerous for two women like you to drink alone at a bar. Remember to tell me before you go drinking next time. That way, I can arrange for someone to pick you up.â
The last part was clearly addressed to Dulcie.
Noticing the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Dulcie snorted. âI called you last night, but that secretary of yours answered. She told me that you were drunk and that she was taking care of you. So, you couldnât pick me up. If I had arrived a little later, she wouldâve taken care of you in bed!â
Ethan was a little annoyed. He immediately took out his phone and called human resources.
âFire Luna. I donât want to see her when I get back to work.â
After he hung up, he turned to Dulcie. âAre you happy now?â
Dulcie smiled. âVery happy. I hope youâll do better in future. If youâre surrounded by male secretaries like Neil, I wouldnât have to worry, would I?â
Soon after, she realized that she had broached a sensitive subject. She quickly looked at Silvia, but Silvia seemed lost and downcast.
Ethan smiled and changed the subject.
âBring Miss Pond to the bathroom so that she can wash up. Iâll go upstairs and change my clothes.â
He was about to leave when Silvia suddenly spoke up, âMr. Hearth, I have something to ask you. About the Xander Familyâs third heir, is his name Zayn?â
