Chapter 130 What’s There to Say?

Not long after, Ethan replied with a voice message.

“All right, I’ll tell you when I get there.”

Dawn didn’t sense anything strange. She put her phone away and went to change into something casual.

What kind of mystery guest could there possibly be?

At most, it’s probably our elusive boss making a dramatic entrance.

Honestly, why is Janice making such a big deal out of it …

Dawn was full of silent complaints as she changed. Soon, the evening arrived, and everyone was buzzing with anticipation.

The resort staff had decorated the poolside with flowers, greenery, and soft lighting, making the place look almost magical.

As the clock inched toward eight, Dawn teased, “What’s taking your mystery guest so long–did he get lost?”

“Hey, don’t jinx it,” Janice replied mysteriously. “Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”

Dawn laughed. “Why would I regret it?”

Ten minutes later, two cars pulled into the hotel parking lot. The others hurried over to help carry things in. Dawn stood at the back, and Janice came over and tugged her arm.

“Let’s go help them out!”

There are already so many people at the trunk … Do they really need me?

Dawn hesitated. “Do they really need my help?”

“Of course! You’re the most important person here!”

Janice dragged her along. Dawn was indifferent, but when she saw who got out of the driver’s seat, she completely froze.

“You … What are you doing here?”

With a warm smile, Ethan walked right up to her.

“I wanted to come, so here I am.”

With that, the whole crowd around them burst out with teasing laughter.

Dawn had never experienced something like this in front of so many people. Her face flushed red. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming when we texted earlier?”

“I did.” Ethan smiled, lowering his head a little. “Didn’t I say I’d talk to you once I got here?”

Dawn didn’t have any retort for that.

Well… that’s exactly what he said.

Dawn’s lips curled into a smile she couldn’t hide, no matter how hard she tried.

She edged closer to Ethan, just to hide her blushing face a little. “I thought the mystery guest was our boss, not you.”

Ethan’s expression stiffened slightly, and a strange sinking feeling crept in.

He pressed his tongue against his molars and leaned in, his voice low and a little tempting. “Babe, considering I came all this way to bring you barbecue, if I messed up something, would you forgive me?”

“Uh…”

The word ‘babe‘ made Dawn’s head spin.

“What did you

do?”

“Nothing big. Actually, it’s good news.”

Ethan brushed her hair aside. It felt like the perfect moment to confess. “Actually, I …

“Boss!”

The loud voice startled them both.

Dawn turned toward the person calling, then looked back at Ethan. “Mr. Day probably needs something from you. Go ahead. I’ll go see how the fire’s coming along.”

She walked away while Ethan’s expression completely darkened.

He muttered through gritted teeth, “You’d better actually need me for something!”

“It’s not me It’s him.” Tony handed over his phone, trying not to look nervous.

“It’s Mr. Osborne. He said he’s in Wornellston now, and he wants to meet with you tomorrow morning.”

Ethan’s eyes narrowed. He looked away after a second. “I’m not free tomorrow morning. Make it afternoon.”

“He’s flying out in the afternoon…

“Then tell him I’m not available.”

It was clear he didn’t care about the invitation. If they weren’t already business partners, he wouldn’t have bothered at all.

Tony saw the look on his boss’s face and immediately backed off.

Ethan flexed his fingers and walked over to the grill.

Well, so much for my heartfelt confession … My confession got cut off at the worst possible moment. When will I ever get another chance?

Dawn and Janice were helping start the fire, but the smoke made Dawn cough.

“Dawn, Janice, you two go take a break. We’ll handle this.”

A male coworker shooed them away and took over.

Dawn covered her mouth and coughed twice. “How long is this barbecue going to last? Will it even work?”

“It’ll work! Why wouldn’t it?”

Janice paused and then leaned in. “Did your fiancé say anything to you?”

Dawn blinked, confused. “What?”

“Never mind.”

I guess that means he didn’t say anything after all.

Janice took a deep breath and led Dawn to a nearby chair. “I really thought he came all this way just to tell you something important.”

“Huh? What is there to tell me?”
