CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 26

Annetta gulped, afraid that he did not hear it. She hurriedly said, "Ethan! You are my Ethan!"

The craziness in Ethan's eyes gradually subsided after hearing her call him 'Ethan' over and over again, and he slowly loosened his grip on her neck. 

However, he did not take his eyes off her, studying her every expression as if he would gobble her up the minute he felt something was off. 

Annetta's broke out in cold sweat and felt slightly claustrophobic. 

After a while, he picked her up from the sofa in bridal style and strode out of the hall amid all the watching eyes. 

Annetta did not dare to move an inch. 

The senior executives of the Harris Group watched them leave in amazement. The cold Ethan Harris, who had never enjoyed being around women, had just carried that ravishing woman out of the company, completely ignoring their unfinished business. 

"Howard, do you know who that woman is?"

"Yeah, since when did he have a girlfriend?"

"The most important thing is... he seems to think very highly of her!"

Howard had been frightened out of his wits by Ethan's gaze and would definitely not be answering any questions. When he saw Ethan leave with Annetta, he immediately followed after them. 

Annetta had been in a daze all this time. 

She thought that Ethan would fly into a rage because of Carla's Facebook post. However, she had not sensed any rage around him when they had met. He had merely been a little surprised at her initiative to please him until she had mentioned waiting for him to get off work.  

Why did he suddenly get angry when she mentioned that? 

Ethan's unpredictable temper was something that she had known in her previous life. She thought that he got mad at her for no reason because he had bipolar disorder. However, she now realized that he had his subtle reasons for losing his temper at her. 

For example, this time...Annetta thought long and hard, but she could not come up with any reason to explain his behaviour. 

Despite her fear of Ethan, she understood that identifying his trigger point was crucial. She'd never be able to grasp how to please him otherwise, especially with a 'time bomb' like Carla in the mix.

The most important thing for her right now was to gain Ethan's trust. She could only ask him for favours after she had done that. 

If she wanted to take revenge, the first thing she needed to do was regain her freedom. 

She tried to suppress her fear even though Ethan terrified her. She fixed a soft and moving gaze on the man and lisped, "Ethan, why were you angry just now? Did I do something wrong?" 

The man holding her looked down at her without saying a word.

Annetta sniffed, tears immediately welling up in her eyes, "If you don't like me coming to pick you up after work, I won't come again..."

As she spoke, she started to push him away. 

Ethan wrapped his arms around her waist and embraced her tightly, "Don't make a fuss..." His deep voice was doting and raspy. 

Annetta keenly noticed. 

Indeed, her tough act did not work on Ethan. But he would gladly indulge her the minute she showed her softer side. 

Annetta became even more confident after grasping this piece of important information and said, "Then Ethan, tell me why you suddenly became angry."

Under Annetta's strong coquetry, Young Master Ethan looked at her with a trace of indiscernible passion in his eyes.
