Chapter 119

• Ethan’s POV
• The rest of the morning dragged on, but my mind wasn’t entirely on the media house anymore. As much as I wanted to focus on the logistics of the new venture, Emily’s presence loomed in the back of my mind. I had never been one to let distractions interfere with my work, but when it came to her, it was a different story.
• The decision to bring her into the fold wasn’t a decision made lightly. There were risks. If anyone found out, it could jeopardize the entire project. But Emily wasn’t just another employee; she was a potential ally, someone who could not only contribute to the media house but also give me the leverage I needed to protect her. And I couldn’t deny that I wanted her closer. I wanted to know she was safe, even if it meant blurring professional lines.
