Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 158

Jean watched as Ethan climbed out from his luxury car and walked to the passenger side. Then he opened the door for Selena with a smile.

He extended his hand to Selena and helped her exit the car. Jean raised an eyebrow when she saw them still holding hands as they walked. Selena was seductively dressed and walked gracefully. Selena's eyes were fixed on Ethan, and she wore a charming smile.

After a few steps, Ethan felt as though someone was staring at him. He looked around casually.

When he spotted Jean, his smile turned into an expression of embarrassment.

Concerned that Jean would misunderstand his relationship with Selena, Ethan immediately released Selena's hand.

When Ethan had seen Jean, he had become anxious. But he quickly calmed down. With a smile, he walked toward them leisurely. "Jean, what are you doing here?" he said happily.

'It's a small world!'

Jean thought.

Why would she meet Ethan wherever she went? He had followed her on purpose to the shoot location before. But what about this time?

She didn't know about today's schedule until the night before. How could he know it? Could this be a coincidence?

Besides, the last time they met, Ethan had promised that they would be friends and nothing more.

'I'm overthinking the situation. I should stop doing that.' Jean scolded herself. She needed to stop assuming the worst about people.

Jean forced herself to smile as she answered Ethan, "We are working here. What about you... or you two?"

Jean asked hesitantly.

"The scenery here is beautiful. Miss Miao and I are on vacation. So we thought we'd come by to have a look. It also seemed like a good time to talk about a business proposal." Ethan smiled as though there was nothing unusual about this chance meeting.

Everyone knew that the Lei Group was the market leader for male electronic products. How odd that they would invite a female star to endorse their products! Apparently, talking about the cooperation was just an excuse. Going on vacation with the beautiful Selena must be Ethan's real purpose. That was not surprising as he had always been a womanizer.

Not wanting to spend more time than necessary with Ethan, Jean smiled and bade him goodbye, "That sounds great. Don't let me keep you. Have a good day."

As soon as she finished, Jean walked toward her colleagues.

"Jean..." Ethan said as Jean turned away from him. Hearing his call, she turned and looked at him in surprise. And then Ethan smiled quickly and said, "Since now is not the best time to catch up, how about we meet for dinner? You can call your colleagues, and they can dine with us."

He invited Jean's crew as well. He knew that she would never agree to dine with him alone. And so, this was the best way to get her to agree.

"We..." Jean started, but her mind went blank. She wanted to refuse as she didn't want to get involved with Ethan and Selena. However, she didn't know how to let him down politely. And so she said, "Let's talk about it later. Bye!"

After that Jean waved to Ethan and then got into the taxi with her colleagues.

Ethan's smile disappeared as he watched the car speed away. He had really hoped that she would say yes. He had even invited her colleagues to make Jean more comfortable. Why did she refuse him? Ethan stared in the direction the car had sped away as he thought. He had forgotten about Selena.

"She has left. What are you still staring at the road?" Selena murmured in envy as she walked up to Ethan. Although she was jealous, she did not show any feelings on her face.

"How did you know that she would be here today?" Ethan turned and asked Selena. His expression conveyed the confusion he felt.

"Why are you asking me that? I gave you this information because I thought you would want to know. I thought you'd be appreciative. Why are you upset with me? Do you think I have an ulterior motive?" Selena's face suddenly turned cold. She sulked as she spoke with Ethan.

"Everyone knows that you are secretly in love with Zed. Did you plan this meeting to cause trouble? Let me be clear now. You can try to break them up. But if you do anything to hurt Jean, I will not be quite so nice." Ethan warned Selena.

Since Ethan had spent a considerable amount of time with Selena, he was familiar with her disposition. He had seen, on several occasions, that she could become quite mean if she didn't get what she wanted.

Every time Ethan had seen Selena and Jean together, he would witness Selena trying to cause trouble. She didn't like Jean, and so, she tried to play tricks on her.

But Ethan still had feelings for Jean. He would never do anything to hurt her, and he would never allow anyone else to even think about it either.

"Ethan, are you crazy? If I wanted to hurt Jean, why would I bring you here? I know you like Jean. And yes, I like Zed. I will admit to that. But hurting Jean would not earn me your trust. And I do feel that it would be easier to break them up if we worked together." Selena tried to suppress her anger and said with a fake smile.

Jean, who looked like an ordinary and unaccomplished woman was actually difficult to deal with. Selena wouldn't be compromising and cooperating with Ethan if she could handle Jean by herself.

Hearing that, Ethan's eyes brightened. After all, before he came here, Ethan hadn't known what partnership Selena had wanted to talk to him about.
