Chapter 48

• On the day of the auction event, Ethan did his best to finish his work on time so he can be free in the evening. He went home early to prepare for the auction.
• He was picking up Vanessa from her house later this evening, he had to focus. Tonight wasn’t about Vanessa or Sophie—it was about managing the situation so that Sophie’s life would be less complicated.
• At seven sharp, Ethan pulled up to Vanessa’s apartment in his sleek black car. He stepped out, adjusting his suit jacket, just as Vanessa stepped out of the building.
