“Then let bad things happen to me.”
Clara smirked.“Wow… Aren’t you scared at all?”
“I mean it. Why would I be scared?”
Clara kept eating. Ethan said, “Clara, trust me.
Clara said, “Just eat.”
“You don’t trust me? Should I rip my heart out to prove it?”
“Your company needs you. Don’t be late.”
Ethan relaxed.“Let them wait. Sooner or later I’ll fire them all.”
“All of them? Are you sure?” Clara asked, referring to Lily.
He said, “Except for you, I don’t care about anyone.”

Clara insisted on sitting in the backseat. “I get carsick and I need some breeze.”
Ethan didn’t refute.“Okay, I’ll drive carefully.”
When then arrived, Ethan rushed to open her door. She was greeted by his
employees.
Some of the executives rushed over. “Mrs. Payne! Mr. Payne told me you
loved milk tea, right? I’ll get some.”
Another guy said, “And pastries! That’s your favorite.”
Ethan chuckled.“Don’t overfeed her. She’s gained weight. She even took off
her ring.”
“But Mrs. Payne looks very thin. The ring must’ve shrunk!”
“You’re sucking up. Silver doesn’t shrink!”
“You don’t get it. Happy wife, happy life. I’m trying to make Mrs. Payne
happy!”
Ethan laughed.“You’ve got me there.”
Clara was practically escorted to Ethan’s office. Fruit, snacks, milk tea.

Ethan put on a TV show for her.“I gotta go, Clara. If you need anything, call
Kevin.”
Clara asked pointedly, “Where’s Lily, your assistant?”
Ethan said, “I don’t know. I’ll have someone call her.”
He patted her head. “Let’s have lunch together later.”
He left, and so did the executives. Clara found he didn’t take his phone, so
she went out to chase him. Then, she overheard the executives talking.
“…Rooftop? Mr. Payne and Lily are getting bolder.”
“They had to. Mrs. Payne came and they can’t do it in the office.”
“Do we need to send them condoms?”
“Nope. Payne already had a bunch.”
“Wow. How did he get so many condoms under Mrs. Payne’s nose?”
“Don’t you use delivery apps? They make life so convenient.”
“…I wonder if he has enough. Last time, they did it all day and night in the
car. Lily walked funny for days.”

“We got his back! Why else would he hire us?”
“Aren’t you the one who said happy wife happy life?”

“Shh, she’s clueless. The biggest lie in the world is that men don’t cheat,
especially rich men. The difference is whether they get caught or not.”
“That’s true. Mrs. Payne seems naive and easy to fool.”
Ethan appeared.“Don’t say anything that you shouldn’t in front of Clara!”
The executives nodded.
Ethan warned them again.“My wife has a fragile stomach, so don’t give her
anything cold. Nobody talks about Lily, or you’re fired!”
Clara returned to the office, placing his phone amidst the snacks.
Ethan returned.“Sweet Cheeks, do you enjoy the food?”
The nickname made Clara shiver.
“I thought you were at a meeting.”
“I lost my phone here. Did you see it?”
Clara shook her head, but he still found it.“Oh, it’s in the snacks. Take your

Clara’s phone rang.

“Yes.”
