FIRST DATE

Ethan was in his office at the Anderson Corp. He has seen the new headlines and was very satisfied with what was being talked about.

The Evans stock market has decreased by 20% and the Hart stock market has decreased by 18%. Both families were so busy with the scandal. Ethan asked his team to reduce their investors now their stock market is dropping every minute.

None of the investors would want to invest in a company that cheats even if it was a personal matter, they still valued their money and wouldn't want to be cheated.

Ethan had a bright smile on his face. He has not been able to see Erika yet, but he knows she was doing alright.

At the other side, Felicia was raining heavy curses on Erika. It's been a week since the recordings she had sent to Erika have been uploaded. She was about to go crazy.

She has not seen Adrain since a week ago because he has been living in his office, trying to curb the issue. The recordings were just the same as the first one. They couldn't be taken down. She asked Mr. Douglas to help as usual but it wasn't enough.

Lucas Evans has forbidden her from entering the Evans mansion as he was very angry at her. She can't even go out without hearing a nasty comment directed towards her. This was all Erika's fault, she thought. The most annoying thing was that she couldn't find Erika.

In Hart's mansion, Mary and Juliet were also angry, but not with Felicia—but with Erika. They supported Felicia for sending the videos but who would have thought that Erika would publicize the videos?

In the living room, Mary gritted her teeth so hard that you could hear them gnashing together.

"That bitch Erika, how dare she?" she cursed. If she could see Erika right now she would have torn her to pieces.

She was mostly worried that if this scandal wasn't suppressed immediately, then they would lose everything. She doesn't want all her hard work to be part of this family to go down the drain.

Mary picked up her phone and tried to phone Erika again but it wouldn't go through. "Fuck!" She cursed again.

Erika was in her office doing work as usual. She already knows the chaos that was going on in the Evans and Hart corporations since she was the one who caused it.

She was really happy today as she typed on the computer was a big smile on her face. Now the Evans Corp stock market has reduced by 30% and the Harts has reduced by 26%.

She was typing happily until she heard a knock on her door, "Come in", she said.

The door spread open and Ethan walked in. It's been a while since she has seen Ethan and it was only after seeing him now that she realized that she misses him.

Ethan walked elegantly to the desk and sat down. "Good afternoon," he greeted.

"Good afternoon."

"I have seen the news and it seems like it's going to take a while before they can get back up again, the scandal has left a huge damage for them and it's only getting worse," he said.

Erika and Ethan got pretty close and she told him about her plans not knowing that the man in front of her had been keeping an eye on her for a while now.

"That is exactly what I want, besides they deserve it." Her main motive currently was to damage the Evans Corp first then the Hart will be in for dessert.

"Hmm," Ethan nods. "Are you free later? Let's go celebrate." He urged.

"Umm..... just the two of us?" She asked carefully.

"Sure why not? We are friends already, right? Don't worry, I won't be a pervert. Believe me when I say I love my handsome face fresh from bruises," he joked and both of them laughed. "We can invite Felix, but I don't think he will be able to come with us. You see, he has a blind date," he informed.

"What? But why didn't he tell me?" She asked.

"I guess it was aunt and uncle who forced him into it and he is busy with it," he explained.

It wasn't time to go off of work, and Erika didn't want to leave yet as it would be a bad example to the other employees. So, she worked in the office for the remaining few hours while Ethan went back to his office to continue his work as well, but promised to pick her up later.

Erika hurriedly went home took a shower first and changed her clothes. She does not want to leave in her office attire as it would draw attention to them.

She put a lot of work into choosing the dress she would be wearing and paired it up with a few accessories.

Then she looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she was putting a lot of work into this hang and now it looked more like she was going on a date.

Erika decided to change it to something more casual but her phone beeped with a notification from Ethan saying he was already outside.
