Sophia re-appeared , smiling sweetly. Ethan darling, we need to discuss….Isabella voice cuts in. Sophia wait, Isabella gaze locked onto Ethan. Ethan, make a choice.
His eyes darted between the two. Ethan what is going on? Sophia asked. Isabella gave her a mocking smile. Tell her, Ethan's. Ethan throat constricted. Isabella, please…..Isabella eyes flashed. Now Ethan
Ethan took a deep breath. Sophia, I…I care for Isabella. Sophia face paled. Ethan, no… Isabella voice rose. Go on Ethan, tell her the rest. Ethan's voice shook. I want to be with Isabella. Sophia eyes blazed.
You are choosing her over me? Ethan nodded. Sophia stormed out. Isabella's gaze never left Ethan's. Prove your choice she said.
Isabella's eyes narrowed. Prove your choice she repeated. Ethan's determination surged. I will do whatever it takes. Isabella gaze lingered. Then she turned. Follow me. Ethan trailed after her to the office rooftop.
City skyline gleamed. Isabella's voice carried. I want you to break up with her. His eyes widened. I will do it he said. Her eyes searched his. Conviction, Ethan. Show me, he nodded. I will.
He took a deep breath and marched downstairs to Sophia office. As soon as she saw him her eyes flashed. Ethan, leave she warned. Sophia, listen. Sophia scoffed. You chose her. Done. Ethan's voice rose.
I chose honesty, with myself and Isabella. Sophia face twisted. You will regret this Ethan. Ethan's conviction shone. I won't, he replied.
Ethan returned to the rooftop. Isabella's gaze met his, expectant. I did it, I broke up with her.
How did it go? It didn't go pretty well, she threw a fit. His eyes searched hers. Isabella, I…her hand rose up, silencing him. Her eyes locked onto his. I believe you, Ethan. Suddenly her expression turned serious
I trust you Ethan.
His face lit. Really? She nodded. He wrapped his arms around her. Pulling her close Isabella hands resting on his chest. Thank you, Ethan whispered. Her gaze rose to his. Prove it every day Ethan smiled. I will. Their lips met. Softly, gently.
Ethan's lips lingered on Isabella, the city skyline fading into the background. They stood, wrapped in each other arm. The world around them dissolved. Days blended into a blissful routine.
Ethan's morning started with Isabella smile, her laughter echoing through their shared office space.
Colleagues exchanged knowing glances, smile creeping onto their faces. Whispers transformed into admiration.
Ethan's meetings now included Isabella, their partnership extending beyond business. Together, they tackled challenges, hand intertwined.
