Months had passed and in each day, weeks, and even months that pass by Ethan continued to stay quietly inside the room. Dr. Melissa was the replacement of Dr. Jessica who is now spending her maternity leave, now it is Dr. Melissa that was assigned to conduct all of the monthly check-ups of Ethan.
In those months that he spends inside the room, Ethan was able to build a great partnership with Mikel. Their business proposal was accepted by Lucas and they have already started building their company. With the help of Mikel's brother, they were able to start the business smoothly, Mikel's lover on the other hand was able to make a lot of designs for their very first lineup.
"Ethan, I visited the site today and it is almost done. Just a few more pieces of furniture and the building is all set up. Brother helped me find some people who will be working under us plus the batch mates of Louis who heard about the founding of our company." Said Mikel who was having a video call with Ethan. Louis Lim is the name of Mikel's lover. He is an omega like Ethan, he and Mikel were already bonded partners but they haven't had any plans on getting married yet. But their families already approve of their relationship and were just waiting for those two to decide when will they marry each other.
"I see…that's good then" Ethan was now in his final month of pregnancy and his belly is too big for him to move around. He can easily get tired and sore in any part of his body, mother Aoki already asked a masseuse who will massage the sore body of Ethan.
"By the way Ethan, I already told my brother that you will be the CEO of our company while I'll be the president. You are much better at managing a company than me so you should be the CEO."
"HUH? Me? but…"
"don't worry I will help you with all the workload plus, it's just the title for both of us since we are both the owners. So, I will start looking for an assistant that will assist you in everything. Do you have any preference?"
"preference? Do I have to tell you that? Can't we just hire anybody?"
"not really, in our family the assistant was like our right-hand man. Their loyalty is a must to the point that they will rarely question your decisions that is why we have to make sure that the one in that position will never be just anyone."
"I see…well maybe someone very capable I don't mind it if he/she is a beta or omega. I cannot have an alpha as my assistant since I am an omega without a bond yet but maybe once I have been bonded then I can have another assistant that is a bonded alpha as well."
"hmn…then I will look into some of the recommended assistants of my brother. His company had been training a lot of capable secretaries that can be promoted as your assistant too."
"I see, what about you? Did you already have an assistant?"
"I do! He is the youngest son of my dad's assistant, he is also my best friend and childhood friend at the same time. It is sometimes irritating that he knows me too well but anyway it is alright with me."
"hmn..must be nice to have him by your side too, he must be very dependable that he became your assistant. Is he also an alpha like you?"
"no, he is a bonded omega, he got bonded much earlier than me. He is also married to his alpha who is the assistant of my brother and the two of them already have their first child which is very cute."
"wow, everyone is connected huh, seems like I need to pay attention to their relationships too. Anyway, I don't mind if my assistant is an omega, beta, or alpha as long as he/she is capable of doing his work and would be able to guide and assist me in all of my work. But if the one that you had chosen was an alpha it would be better if that alpha is bonded with an omega or loyally married to his wife. I cannot let any alpha dominate me easily you know."
"Got it! I will let you know when I found one who will become your assistant so just wait for a few days. Also, I want to talk about the mining company that I want to buy, their miners were so good at finding stones that are rare or even normal ones so I want to buy that company along with the mining ground that they are currently digging up."
"But won't it cost us a lot in buying a company out of nowhere more so the very mining ground. Can't you just look for a company that will supply any stones or other materials for us?"
"What out of nowhere? I have been looking for the best mining company that will help our business, it is not easy to look for talented miners who know what they are digging for. Plus, Louis wants to have the best quality of the stone no matter what kind it is so it is better to have the best miners to have the best quality of our jewelry. Even if I find one company that will supply for us, that is not enough for me. I want us to have our own mining company thus I will buy that one. Read the document that I sent you and you will know all the details there."
"hmn…I got it, I will read it later then I will decide if we will buy it or not but as long as it is within our budget then I will allow it. Also, did you gave the design to Louis? I want to give that ring to my lover on our anniversary."
"I did and he said that he will start making it for you soon after the materials arrive by next week. You are so special that my lover will be the one to make that ring huh, your lover better make sure to take care of it or else I will bury him alive"
"HAHAHA!!! Well, it's a couples ring so of course, we will take care of it and I know that Ken would treasure it for me as well"
"good then, oh! By the way, have you talked with my brother?"
"yes, why do you ask?"
"Well, remember when I asked your real situation there? I mean I asked you approximately four months ago"
"Yeah and what about it?"
"the thing is, my brother won't talk to me for four months now. Like he will only discuss our business but not talk to me with anything personal. I even apologize to him for whatever reason there is but he still won't talk to me. I even gave him your email and number so that he could talk to me but he still won't! Ethan! help me! He is my only brother!!!"
"so you're the culprit about his discovery of my email and number huh! But why me?"
"You will know someday but please!!! Talk to him please…you are the only one who can help me"
"*giggle* fine, brother Lucas was a good man too plus the two of us had been exchanging emails and there are times that he would call me too so I don't feel any awkwardness between us. I will talk to him later and maybe ask him to bully you more HAHAHA!!!"
"HEY! wait since when did he start calling you?"
"hmnn…for three months now. At first, he would just send me emails and ask me more about the business that we want to establish and many other things, that lasted for a whole month. Then he started calling me once a week for another whole month then it increases each month"
"What the-! While I was being ignored he is connecting himself to you hmp! then how many times did my brother call you this month?"
"well…almost every night except for Monday and Tuesday since he is very busy during those days as to what he said. Although I did tell him that he must be busy every day with him as the CEO of a big company, he didn't have to call me every night."
"don't worry about that, my brother is much more capable than you think so. I'm sure that he will make time to call you so let him do that. I bet your lover calls you every day so let my brother do the same as a friend or a business partner."
"Ken…he…doesn't call me that much. Ever since three months ago, he rarely calls me at night nor day. And even if he did call me, it would only last for 10 minutes or less but no more than that."
"what? Why? don't you think that is suspicious? If I were in you then I would find it very suspicious of cheating behind my back you know."
"I trust Ken, I know that he will never cheat on me so don't worry. He must be very busy working there since from what he told me the hospital is a little understaff that is why he and the rest of the team decided to stay there for a little longer until the hospital hired some more staff. Ken's grandfather also helps out in the hiring process so that the team would be able to come back soon."
"Alright, if that is what you think but if I ever discover that he cheated on you I will make sure that he will regret it." Ethan just laughs at the statement of Mikel, he does trust Ken but even that trust did waver a bit. He also has the suspicion of Ken cheating behind him but he knows that Ken would never do that to him. That is why he just ignored those feeling and continue to trust Ken. He feels so sad whenever Ken would not call him or even send him a text but that sadness was replace with joy whenever Lucas calls him for no reason.. This made him feel that Lucas was his lover rather than Ken with how the other would make time for him despite being a busy CEO.
