Chapter 120
As Ethan uttered those words, Alex's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe that the enigmatic Godly Investor had agreed to come home with her, she wasn't expecting him to agree but since he did she can't say no but to obey.
As she drove towards her house, her eyes kept darting to Ethan, studying his masked face with intense curiosity.
"Who is he really?"
she thought, her mind racing with so many questions.
"What secrets could be be hiding behind that mask of his?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Her mind was still full of thought.
The journey to Alex's house was filled with a palpable tension, even Ethan noticed the air thick with unspoken thoughts and burning questions.
At that moment Ethan gazed out the window, his mind still reeling from the events of the night.
"What have I gotten myself into?" he wondered, his fingers tightening around the ancient staff on his hand.
"I need to be careful. I can't let my guard down, if not my identity would be exposed and I can't explain how I got all of the money I'm spending just yet"
However he was still deeply in thought as they approached Alex's mansion, And Ethan's eyes widened in awe.
The sprawling mansion was a testament to her wealth and status, with towering gates and manicured gardens surrounding the main building. Security personnel and maids scurried about, their presence was a constant reminder of Alex's elite lifestyle.
"She's not just a celebrity,"
Ethan said to himself, his mind whirling with different possibilities.
"There's more to her than meets the eye."
Ethan's mind raced as they entered the mansion, taking in the opulent surroundings. The living room was pristine white, with luxurious furniture and gleaming surfaces that exuded an air of sophistication.
"This is a whole different world on his own and it would be difficult for a celebrity to have all of this, something else must be up,"
He said to himself, his eyes darting around the room.
"I need to watch my step and stay alert."
With a wave of her hand, Alex dismissed the maids and guards, instructing them to retreat to the guest house.
Ethan watched as they filed out of the room, leaving him alone with the breath taking Alex.
At that moment the atmosphere shifted, becoming more intimate and charged with anticipation. "What is she up to?"
Ethan wondered, his heart started pounding in his chest.
Alex turned to Ethan, with a soft smile playing on her lips.
"You can remove your mask now," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
without wasting anymore time she took a step closer, her eyes locked onto Ethan's masked face.
At that moment Ethan studied her face, searching for any signs of deception or hidden motives.
Alex laughed, a melodic sound that filled the room.
"You know, as the biggest star in the entertainment company you just acquired, we'll be seeing each other regularly from now on,"
she said, her tone playful. She leaned in closer, her voice dropping with curious whisper.
"It would be beneficial for us to get to know each other, don't you think? To build a strong working relationship immediately?"
Ethan pondered her words, his still mind racing with possibilities.
As he focused his attention on Alex, a sudden realization dawned upon him.
His heightened intelligence, a result of his recent upgrades, allowed him to sense that she was hiding something.
"There's more to this than meets the eye,"
he said to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Without wasting any more time Ethan scanned the living room with renewed intensity, his eyes darting from one corner to another. To his surprise, he spotted hidden cameras strategically placed throughout the room.
"She's watching me,"
he realized, his heart pounding faster.
"But why?"
He thought that was all when his gaze fell upon a pen lying on the dinner table, and he immediately recognized it as a voice recorder.
At that moment his heart stopped beating fast but was replaced with a smile tugged at the corners of his lips, as he walked towards the table, picking up the pen with a curious expression.
"What's this doing here?"
he asked, holding up the pen for Alex to see.
"I see you as a writer or a journalist."
upon seeing Ethan holding up the pen her eyes widened briefly before she quickly regained her composure.
"Oh, that? I like to write a lot, and record my voice at the same time"
she said, reaching out to take the pen from Ethan's hand. She gave him a coy smile, her fingers brushing against his as she tried to retrieve the pen.
However, Ethan raised the pen above his head, causing Alex to inadvertently lean into him, her body pressing against his in an attempt to retrieve the pen.
Ethan's smile widened as he lowered the pen, his eyes locking with hers.
He then started pointing at the hidden camera one and a time for Alex to see then he said .
"Can I trust you now?"
