The glass door slides open before he reached to touch them.
People noticed him before the realised the were staring conversation lowered,footsteps slowed ,and the entire hubby seemed to shift_like the building itself were adjusting to his presence.
Ethan cole didn't walk into a room
He claimed it that is how ruthless his name sounds whenever he steps into a building.
Sharp suit,impeccable posture,eyes dat didn't linger but still sees everything.He moved with a purpose each steps measured,calculated and more precisely controlled_like time itself answered to him.
"Good morning"Mr Cole"the receptionist said quickly almost nervously.
He gave a single nod.No smile, No wasted words.
Ethan wasn't rude.He was simply unreacheable
"Board meeting in 10 minutes"his assistant,Clara said as she rushed beside him tablet in hand."The investors ate already..."
" They can wait ",he cut in smoothly his voice low bit firm.
Clara stopped talking immediately.
That was the effect the ruthless Ethan cole had on people.He didn't raise his voice .He didn't need to.
Inside the elevator,silence followed him like a shadow.Even the air felt heavier,he adjusted his cofflinks,eye fixed ahead ,mind already five steps into the future.
Numbers. Contracts. Power.
Everything was a game and ethan cole never played to lose.
But just as the elevator door were about to close--
"Wait"
A hand shot in stopping the doors.
Ethan's eyes flicked downwards.
A girl stumbled in slightly out of breath, clutching a stack of files that looked ready to collapse at any second.Her hair was messy,her expression unfiltered--and completely unimpressed.
She glanced at him then away.
No reaction
No fear
No recognition
For the first time in a long while someone didn't care who he was .
Ethan's gaze lingereda second longer than u sual .
Interesting.
The elevator door shut.
And just like that something shifted in him.
He didn't know her name yet.
But he would.
Because Ethan cole always found what caught his attention.
And right now---
She had just made the most powerful man in the city curious.
