The closer they are, the faster iguess
Ethan walked away from her, and went back behind his desk, and sat comfortably, while Avery watched him like an hawk. "I really appreciate that you saved my life, and all, but I still can't trust you to be in the technical department just yet." He paused and then continued, "How about this? My personal assistant is on leave for a month, so I'm in need of a replacement. You can take his place till he returns, and if you act right all through your time as my personal assistant, a spot in technical department will be guaranteed for you."

Both of them are stubborn
"No." Ethan replied without any hesitation.

Avery pressed her lips to a thin line to stop the laughter that was threatening to burst out of her. She nodded, and said, "Noted sir."

Ethan's face turned red in embarrassment, but he cleared his throat, and said, "I'll appreciate it if you don't say that aloud, please."

Did she have to mention the pajama and barefooted part 🤣🤣 🤣
If it was true that Owen had saved Ethan from an accident that could have taken his life, then she had to take advantage of the situation. Avery quickly faked an expression of realization on her face, and said, "Oh!… Now I remember. You wore pajamas that day, and you were barefooted."
Urban · Diamond_sunshine
I was right!
Avery was a little surprised by the story of how Ethan had almost gotten crushed by a lorry, but got saved by a man. She was surprised because she also remembered that about a month ago, Owen had told her a funny story about how he saved a strange looking man who was walking barefooted on the road in the early hours of the morning.

That’s so embarrassing 🙈 I would want the earth to open up and swallow me right there and then
"What is a grown man like you doing, walking on the road barefooted?" The man questioned, his words laced with a touch of amusement. Ethan's mind raced, attempting to formulate a response that wouldn't make him sound crazy, but before he could come up with a reasonable excuse, the man was already on his feet, leaving him lying on the ground.

I think it might be Owen. He is Avery’s twin after all, and she is currently disguised as him

As Ethan's heart pounded in his chest, he slowly gathered his senses. The adrenaline coursing through his veins made it difficult for him to fully comprehend what had just transpired. And then, as he blinked away the haze of shock, he realized that he was not alone.

Is he battling with a mental-related issue
Suddenly, the blaring sound of a car horn pierced through the silence, jolting him back to reality. Startled, Ethan's gaze darted to his right, where he found himself face-to-face with a looming lorry hurtling towards him. How did he get there? He was so shocked so much that he couldn't even react on time.
Urban · Diamond_sunshine
He’s even barefooted? 😳
His mind wandered so deeply that he failed to notice his surroundings. His bare feet padded softly against the pavement, connecting him to the earth beneath him.

Why does this make me feel sad all of a sudden? I feel like he’s going through something
In the early hours of the morning, Ethan, dressed in his cozy pajamas, strolled down the quiet streets of his neighborhood. The world around him was still and serene, as if time itself had taken a pause. Lost in his own thoughts, Ethan meandered aimlessly, the cool breeze brushing against his face.

"Am I that easy to forget?" Ethan mumbled, more to himself than to Avery, "Well, unlike you, I have a really good memory. You were the one who saved me from almost getting run over by a car."
Urban · Diamond_sunshine
Avery please
Avery swallowed nervously, but she still adamantly nodded. "I would like to say that I'm pretty sure I've never seen you before, but I have amnesia, so it's possible I just don't remember. Could you please refresh my memory?"
Urban · Diamond_sunshine
He knows he is handsome alright. Like how could someone forget my gorgeous face 😂
Ethan raised his eyebrow, and a slight frown formed on his face, as he said, "Oh really? You really don't remember this face?" He moved his face close to hers, while pointing to his own face.
Urban · Diamond_sunshine
I’m glad Avery and I think alike 😎
Asides that, she also noticed he didn't even look angry anymore. If he really recognized her, wasn't he supposed to be raving mad at the moment. He was supposed to have called security on her, or even worse, he should have called the cops. 'Maybe he is mistaking me for someone else,' Avery said to herself, and a little hope bloomed in her chest.
Urban · Diamond_sunshine
I don’t think he recognizes her. If he did, the glasses should be the least of his concern. What about the wig, makeup and men-suit she is wearing?
"Did you intentionally wear it so that I wouldn't recognize you?" She heard Ethan say, and she looked up at him. He didn't even look fazed by the fact that his secretary had just walked in on them and was probably assuming they were doing something inappropriate.

"Uhm… I didn't mean to interrupt whatever you guys were doing. I'm sorry, I'll go back to my desk now!" Christian spoke in a fast manner, and without waiting for any of them to say a thing, he ran out of the office like his pants were on fire.
Urban · Diamond_sunshine
That would be hilarious, but I don’t think Christian would want to put his Job on the line
A dramatic gasp suddenly echoed through the office, catching the attention of both Avery, and Ethan. They both looked up, and saw Christian looking down at them with a horrified expression on his face, while his hand was covering his mouth, probably trying to stop himself from shouting.

I’m still curious about what led to Ethan’s ‘morning stroll’ He didn’t even realize what he was doing. Hopefully we are able to get closure in the future chapters.
