Janet sprang up from the bed and looked at Ethan in shock. "How come you know the senior executive of the Larson Group?"
"She was my classmate from high school," Ethan said nonchalantly, restinghis head on Janet's arm.
"High school classmates? So, you guys have known each other for a long time. Which school did you go to?"
Janet asked, examining his face. The small table lamp was the only source of light in the room. The warm yellow light seemed to soften Ethan's features.
"Seacisco High." Ethan shrugged noncommittally. Considering his current identity, he couldn't say anything more.
"My teachers have once mentioned that it is one of the best schools in the city." Janet lowered her head.
Only children from wealthy and influential families studied there. They all had extraordinary IQs and excelled in their studies. Ordinary people couldn't compete with them.
Janet fell silent. A strange feeling settled in her heart.
Ethan and Charis had known each other since high school and had been in touch ever since. She sensed they shared a good relationship.
Besides, the woman was now a senior executive in Larson Group, which was a testimony of her talent. She probably had been excellent in all aspects since high school.
Janet couldn't help but wonder if Ethan had a crush on her.
"What are you thinking?" Ethan frowned as Janet seemed distracted.
Janet picked up her nightgown from the floor, put it on, and lay back on the bed. "Why didn't you ever mention her before?"
"She's not important to me, so I didn't feel the need to tell you about her." Ethan pinched her cheek and looked into her eyes. "I'm not really close to her."
