Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 45 Rekindling Her Relationship With Ethan

It was in the evening.

Jean had been upset all day. She felt as though her heart and mind was weighed down.

But even so, she still needed to earn her living. She was not comfortable about her arrangement with

Ethan. She wanted to find a job quickly so that she could pay back the money she was using. Jean had

sent her resume to several companies but they rejected her candidacy as she didn't have the required

qualifications.

Jean majored in photography at the university. Although she had performed well at school and had won

several awards for design, these achievements wouldn't help her secure a job.

Exhausted and depressed, Jean walked back to the hotel and lay down. A few minutes later, the

doorbell rang.

When Jean opened the door, she saw Ethan had come to visit her. He was impeccably dressed in a

fitted tuxedo. He stood at her door casually, with one hand in his trouser pocket. Jean had forgotten

how extraordinarily elegant and handsome he looked when he dressed up.

In his other hand, he carried a fancy bag with a large square box in it.

Ethan's genuine smile dazzled Jean. For a minute, she was captivated by how handsome he looked. It

was this charming smile and bright eyes that had always helped Ethan bewitch people.

In the past, Jean had a crush on him. But then Jean remembered her experiences with handsome men

like Ethan and Zed. She found that the more charming a man is, the more hurt he would bring to a

woman.

"How did you know that I am here?" Jean smiled stiffly. She was shocked that Ethan had learned of

which hotel she was staying at. She didn't know how to deal with this situation at that moment.

They had just met last night. She wasn't expecting to meet Ethan again so quickly. Jean felt a little

embarrassed to see her ex-boyfriend so often.

"Do you think it is difficult for me to find a person?"

The bright smile on Ethan's face and his teasing tone made Jean think that he was in a good mood.

Jean studied Ethan and found that the longer he looked at her, the more his eyes sparkled. He seemed

genuinely happy to be with her.

Since Jean hadn't as yet extended him an invitation to come inside, Ethan gently prompted her. "May I

come in?"

"Okay……" Jean hesitated for a second before angling her body away from the door. She had made

space for Ethan to enter.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not bad."

"Have you caught a cold?"

"No."

The simple communication between them made the atmosphere of the small room extraordinarily dull.

Nervous, Jean entwined her fingers and shuffled her feet.

It wasn't night yet, but the sun had set. The night screen rolled down the windows and the room

became dim.

"Well, I…" Jean stopped before she could finish her sentence. She was so anxious, she didn't know

what to say. Ethan waited patiently for Jean to settle herself. Unsure of what to say, Jean smiled and

asked, "How have you been recently?"

The moment the words left her mouth, Jean felt silly. Obviously, she had said something that didn't

make sense as they had met and spoken the previous night.

Ethan ignored her question. Instead, he gently placed his hands on Jean's shoulders and looked at her

tenderly. "Jean, I know that you still love me and I still love you. We …"

"No, Ethan, you misunderstood me!" Jean puckered her lips as she thought about how she was going

to explain the Weibo incident to Ethan. The Weibo tweet had spread like wildfire and she was certain

that Ethan had seen the photo.

She was about to explain that it hadn't been her who had posted on Weibo. But before she could say

another word, Ethan hugged her tightly. "I won't let you go again!"

"Ethan, please release me…" Jean squirmed out of Ethan's arms and took a few steps back.

She gazed at him for a few seconds before lowering her head, Jean didn't know what to say next.

Noticing that Ethan was wearing a tuxedo, Jean suddenly thought of something. She looked at Ethan

with a smile and said, "It seems that you are going to attend an important party or meeting tonight. You

shouldn't be late. Have a good time."

Jean's word reminded Ethan of the purpose of his visit. He settled the label of his tuxedo as he spoke,

"I came here to invite you to a party tonight. And I sincerely hope that you will not refuse me."

Hearing that, Jean was stunned. After a brief pause, she shook her head.

"No, no, no. I'm sorry. I don't feel like going to a party tonight…"

"Aren't you looking for a job? Sonny will also attend the party tonight." Ethan mentioned Sonny to

manipulate Jean into agreeing to accompany him.

As expected, Jean's expression changed.

Her furrowed eyebrows smoothened out when she realized who Sonny was. Excited, she asked "Are

you talking about that... famous photographer, Sonny?"

"Yes."

Hearing that, Jean felt ecstatic. She had always admired Sonny's work. If she could speak with him at

the party, it would be her good fortune.

"You majored in photography. Tonight, you may meet with a good job opportunity."

Ethan was right. There may be a good opportunity for Jean to find work at the party!

She was so tired of the rejections she had received. Her skills and qualifications were not well-suited to

a normal corporate job. This would be the perfect chance for her to find work in a field she was

passionate about.

After contemplating her options, Jean finally nodded. When she smiled and thanked Ethan, he could

see that she was genuinely pleased.

"I thought you might want to meet Sonny. I hope it's not too forward of me, but I have chosen a dress

for you to wear tonight. Please put it on to see if it fits." After saying that, Ethan handed the dress box

to her.

As always, Ethan's taste in clothes was exemplary. Not only did the dress he had selected for Jean fit

perfectly, she looked gorgeous! Once she had worn the dress, Ethan drove Jean to a beauty salon. An

hour later, Jean exited the salon looking as delicate as a fairy.

After arriving at their destination, Jean and Ethan got out off the car and walked toward the party hall.

Many people were in attendance. As Jean looked around the room, she saw that most men and

women were celebrities or from distinguished families.

As was expected, they had all dressed ostentatiously.

Although she wasn't flashily dressed like the other women, Jean looked quite pure and charming.

Her light blue tight dress was tastefully laced with white chiffon and pearls. Along with her light makeup

and styled hair, Jean looked attractive.

Her radiant and captivating smile added to her charm. Compared with her, the other ladies in the hall

seemed quite ordinary.

As Jean and Ethan entered the hall, they attracted a lot of attention.

Jean was looking around the hall expectantly. Her eyes shone with excitement and her lips were

slightly parted. Her innocent expression made her more adorable.

Ethan knew who Jean was looking for. He smiled and pointed forward.

"Sonny is there."

As soon as Jean spotted the famous photographer, she forgot her troubles. She gracefully walked

toward Sonny.

After introducing Jean to Sonny, Ethan turned and began speaking with the crowd of people that had

gathered to meet him. Jean took the opportunity to speak with Sonny about his work.

Since they both enjoyed photography, their conversation was delightful and light. Jean even shared a

few insights that seemed unique to Sonny. He was pleasantly surprised to hear such refreshing

feedback. Pleased with Jean, Sonny offered her the opportunity to be his student.

Jean was flabbergasted for a moment. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she would

be offered such an honor. Her smile froze and the wine glass in her hand trembled for a few seconds.

"Sonny, did you ask me to be your student?"

"Of course. Although you don't have any representative work in this industry, I think you are very

talented. Well, don't you want to be my student?" Sonny asked with his eyebrows raised.

Jean immediately shook her head and quickly smiled. "I want to be your student. I'm just... so shocked!

I can't believe that you would see such potential in me. It will be my pleasure to have such a chance to

learn from you."

As Ethan approached Jean, he heard Sonny's offer and Jean's acceptance. Thrilled, he immediately

invited them to a private room where they could continue their conversation uninterrupted.

At that time, Jean was so excited that she didn't notice that someone was staring at her from the

doorway. Zed's face had darkened once he spotted Jean with Ethan.

Zed had been informed that Jean and Ethan would attend the party together. Just hearing that had

angered Zed. However, he hadn't anticipated how upset he'd be when he actually saw them together.

Once at the venue, Zed walked around looking for Jean. Finally, he spotted her in the private room. But

he didn't expect that Jean would be alone with Ethan.

Because of the viewing angle, Zed couldn't see Sonny. However, he saw how brightly Jean was

smiling.

He clenched his fists and his expression turned gloomy.

It seemed as though Jean had been quick to rekindle her relationship with Ethan. What's worse was

that she looked genuinely happy.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
