Later that evening, Janet went to the Michelin–starred restaurant Ethan had booked.
Wearing just a simple T–shirt and jeans, Janet stood out like a sore thumb in the fancy restaurant Sitting
opposite her was a calm man with a cold temperament.He propped his chin on his palm and watched
helplessly as the woman tinkered with her iPad.
"Is your work really that urgent?"
Seeing the dark circles under Janet‘s eyes, Ethan felt tired for her.It had been half an hour since Janet
sat down.She had been on her iPad that whole time, tirelessly working on her design drafts.Janet broke
off a piece of a cookie and popped it into her mouth.
"We just received two big orders.Plus, we‘re launching another line this coming fashion week.Everyone‘s
been so busy lately.In fact, Elizabeth‘s still in the office." Ethan frowned slightly and plucked the iPad
from her hands.
"Can you take a look at me for one second? You can continue working after dinner.I won‘t take up too
much of your time, I promise."
With the iPad taken away from her, Janet looked at him sheepishly.
"Sorry, honey.I‘ve just been so busy at work lately.When my schedule frees up, how about we go on a
trip?"
"So you‘re aware that you‘ve been neglecting me?" Ethan grumbled.
Realizing he was whining like a child, he coughed in embarrassment and cut the steak for Janet.
"Let‘s eat first."
Janet put on a charming smile and ate the steak that Ethan had cut into bite–size pieces for her.As she
chewed, she looked around the restaurant, deep in thought.
"This restaurant‘s design is pretty simple but elegant.The color scheme will look good on clothes, I think."
"Why‘s your mind still on work?" Ethan felt both helpless and amused.
"Please pay attention to your husband, whom you‘ve neglected for so many days."
From under the table, Janet gently touched Ethan‘s thigh and smiled innocently.
"But I‘ve never neglected you in bed."
With his chin resting on his palm, Ethan‘s eyebrows shot up.The more he got to know Janet, the more he
felt that she was two different people in and out of bed.Her eyes sparkling, Janet continued, "It’s really
inspiring to work with Draco.He makes me enjoy being a workaholic.And when you‘re doing something
you‘re passionate about, you‘ll really forget everything else."
"Good evening.It‘s a special night for couples.Tonight, we‘re giving out complimentary drinks to the
couples dining here.Please enjoy."
Just then, a waiter approached with two glasses of drinks and some dessert.
Staring at Ethan‘s glass, Janet commented, "Your drink is prettier than mine.Yours looks glittery
somehow."
"Then let‘s exchange,"
Ethan suggested with a smile.He handed Janet his glass, and the latter marveled at it for a long time.
The color of this glass of drink was like a mix of blue and purple, like the Milky Way galaxy, shining and
beautiful She took a sip and her eyes widened in surprise.
"It‘s delicious! Would you like to have a taste?"
Looking at the colorful girly drink, Ethan wasn‘t interested at all.He proceeded to eat his steak and said,
"I can‘t drink.I have to drive later."

After dinner, Janet went back to the studio to continue working.
The deadline was fast approaching.She had been working tirelessly for a few more days.
One night, Elizabeth showed the rest of her design drawings to Janet.
After a while, she frowned and said, "You don‘t look well, Janet.Do you want to take a break?"
"Just a little sleepy.I‘ll have another cup of coffee later and I‘m sure I‘ll be fine." Janet shook her head
and smiled.
"Anyway, are these drawings done? I‘ll go through them later."
Seeing that Janet was completely immersed in work, Elizabeth didn‘t say anything more.
Anyway, after tonight, they would finally have some days off.She set down the drawings and turned to
leave.
Suddenly, she heard a loud thud from behind her.Elizabeth immediately turned around and found that
Janet had passed out and fallen to the ground.
