Chapter 42: Wisdom And Determination
Ethan's POV
She was gone. She just up and left. It's funny how relationships change overnight. One minute you're happy the next you're left all alone with sorrow in your soul.
It was Saturday morning. I wasn't going into the office today because I'd promised my Nana I would spend the day with her at the golf course. I hadn't seen her since the birthday party and I was looking forward to some of her wisdom.
After showering and getting dressed in denim jeans and a plain white T-shirt with white sneakers, I took my black SUV from the mansion's garage. It wasn't one of my favorite cars but it was a comfortable ride for my Nana and it was spacious enough for the golf clubs, picnic basket and cooler for drinks.
It was sunny and bright as I drove down the street and took the first intersection to her mansion. It was much smaller than mine but it was suitable for her; she lived alone; my grandfather passed away three years ago. Her mansion had its s

Emma's POVI partied until midnight at Roger's. My body ached from the heat of dancing but I had never felt so carefree and wild before. I danced like there was no tomorrow and I drank like a professional. I guess I wanted to wash away the stress and pain Ethan had put me through. I wanted do something to get my mind off of him and forget about him.Although my head was pounding and my body was aching, I had to get on my feet and go find a job, so that was exactly what I did. I took a shower and washed my hair then changed into something decent, and had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with fresh orange juice. I headed to where businesses were in abundance, keeping tabs of all the corners, streets and road signs so I wouldn't get lost. I had good recollection.I walked into a boutique after I saw "Help Wanted" on a flyer in its windows. It was more of a clothing store with affordable items for purchase but it was wonderfully kept and it had a welcoming feel
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 44: Tracking
Ethan's POVHearing Emma's voice sent chills all over me again. She brought out the heat in me. I was missing having her near me— her beautiful bright brown eyes, soft hair, silky brown skin, full lips and soft calming voice, but with an edge to slice you in half whenever she got angry. My Emma."Hannah, I don't like this coffee. Remake this. I want it to be perfect this time," I said for the fifth time.I was in my home office, typing out the contents and organizing for my company's Autumn Gala in two weeks. It would be extraordinary; it always was. I hosted the event each year before winter to raise money for homeless shelters and children with cancer at the local hospitals and cancer treatment centers in America. The company raised millions each year."But, Mr. Hollen, I've made the coffee over five times already, and it's still not to your liking?""Hannah, if I don't like the taste of it, I won't drink it. I want a drinkable cup of coff

Emma's POV"Hello, dear. My grandson told me you'll be taking over," Roger's grandmother said once I opened the door. She strolled into my room and sat on the sofa."Um, yeah. I'll be starting on Monday. I hope that's alright with you," I said, rubbing the back of my neck. She had caught me off guard."Alright, dear. I'm happy. I can finally get some rest around here."I yawned and she looked at me."Oh, you're sleepy. I'll get out of your hair," she said then got on her feet."Mrs.—""Stones.""Mrs. Stones, I don't mean to come off rude or disrespectful, but I was just about to go lie down when you came over.""That's alright, dear. I'll see you around anyway. Have a good nap."I headed for the bedroom and fell into a nice, comfortable sleep.I woke up to a literal pounding on the door. I would be furious at whoever the hell it was; I didn't care if it was a police officer. T
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 46: Autumn Gala
Emma's POVIt had been two weeks and I hadn't heard from Ethan. He didn't called or text me or even bother to show up at my apartment. I couldn't help but wonder if I had pushed him away completely without knowing. I knew what I said to him was hurtful, but I did apologize in the end and I tell him how I really felt. Of course, I didn't want to lose him so soon, but something was telling me to stay away from him a while longer.I had agreed to Roger's asking me to attend an evening event with him. He had been asking for a week so I finally gave in and told him that I would accompany him as a friend. I elaborated on the term "friend". I knew he was attracted to me, but I wasn't about to complicate my life with two gorgeous men.Working as the receptionist at the complex was going well, so far. Roger had coached me on everything I was to know and I'd caught on pretty easily. I was a fast learner; that was one thing I admired about myself.I stepped out of

"Enjoying yourself?" Ethan asked, moving closer to me.We were alone in his private booth, which had the best view in the place, with comfortable seats and cooling units."Yes, I am," I said, yawning."You're sleepy baby," he said, hugging me and laying me on his lap like a baby. He rubbed my back softly."Stop. You're gonna make me fall asleep if you continue to do that," I told him, removing his hand."Do you want to leave now?""Yeah," I said with another yawn.He took me in his arms and carried me, bridal style, with my arms around his neck while I laid against his hard chest, listening to his heartbeat. It was like music to my ears. I missed that.I was placed in a black
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 48: Preparation
Ethan's POVI was at the office but I couldn't focus on the task at hand at the moment. My mind kept going back to what happened earlier, the way she got me to lay with her and show up late. I kept wondering if I'd see her when I got home, if she'd be there waiting for me on the bed, or if she'd be gone without a trace.She said she would be leaving.I raked my fingers through my hair, heaved a frustrated sigh and went back to paperwork.Ten minutes in, my office door opened and the sound of heels hitting the tiles was heard. I glanced up and noticed Linda standing close to my desk with a smirk on her face, and she started bouncing her nails on the surface of my desk.I closed the folder. "Can I help you?" I asked in annoyance.Although she was the COO, I didn't appreciate her just walking into my office and looking seductive. It was unprofessional. I had already explained to her that what happened between us was a mistake and wa

I turned it back on and sat down on the huge bed, feeling drained and scared.Ethan had already left for work and I didn't want to get his attention yet, so I didn't call him.I felt like I was burning up so I undressed and stepped into the shower, turning the water cold until I felt better.I toweled off my wet skin and changed into pajamas. I walked to the patio for a breath of fresh air because I felt like I was drowning with sorrow and happiness.Chef served my breakfast, but I couldn't eat. I couldn't even stand the sight of the meal.
