Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 148

"Just in case," he said indifferently.

Ethan had to say something to dispel her doubts. He stood in the darkness, staring at Janet's silhouette.

Ethan wished he didn't have to conceal his identity. He wanted to walk to Janet and hug her. Kissing her in a dark elevator would be thrilling. All his senses would be amplified, making it all the more pleasurable.

"Okay." Janet sighed.

Her doubts and worries vanished in an instant. She reasoned the CEO was a cautious man. Since her boss had asked her not to waste the battery, she decided to humor him instead of arguing.

The two continued to stand silently in the darkness.

Janet wanted to take out her phone and call Ethan.

However, Brandon was standing right beside her, and he wasn't using his phone. As an employee, it would be inappropriate to ignore her boss's order and fidget with her phone.

Janet decided not to use her phone now and explain the situation to Ethan once she got home. Silence pervaded the elevator except for the rhythmic breathing of the two people.

The awkwardness made Janet uncomfortable.

Unable to hold it any longer, she quietly looked at the tall figure and asked, "Mr. Larson, do you usually work this late?"

"It depends."

"I haven't had the chance to meet you before. You have been taking good care of me ever since I started working for your company. Thank you for everything."
