His Drama Queen novel Chapter 6

Choices? This doesn't sound like the Ethan Gray I knew from a couple of years ago. This was a whole different Ethan Gray. And although I'm not here to become close with him, there's a part of me that's dying to get to know him better.

"Does Mr. Gray has a girlfriend?" I asked as I took a seat on the dinner table.

"That, I don't know. He never brought one home, but if you listen to gossips it is rumored that he's dating Veronika Morozov."

"The Russian model?" I raised my eyebrows. He did have a good choice, Veronika Morozov is one hell of a pretty girl.

"Yes, she. But she's a golddigger. His family doesn't approve of her." Lila said. "She came here to New York for a Charity, so I only met her one time. She's very... vain. She thinks she's better than everyone else."

"Oh." was all I could say. "Well, if he loves her then uhm... I don't think his family can do anything about that right. Love is love. You're basically blind until you break up."

Lila chuckled. "I just think they use each other to get attention. Don't worry, you still got a chance with him."

"What?!" I choked out. "No, I'm not into him... at all."

"Umhu." Lila said giving me a smug smirk, but turned around and walked out of the kitchen leaving me all baffled behind.

I don't actually like him, do I?

I woke up when sun rays kissed my face. I let out a yawn and stretched out. The bed felt like heaven and I had a really good sleep. I'm so excited about today because I got to see the rest of the mansion, including the ranch. I quickly went to take a shower and while I was still blow-drying my hair, I heard a soft knock on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled, assuming it was Lila with breakfast. I was starving and couldn't wait to eat some of Lila's delicious food.

"Good morning."

I froze instantly when I heard the voice. I turned around and my eyes turned wide like saucers. "Ethan? I thought you were in Arizona?"

Ethan was standing in front of my doorway dressed in a black Armani suit. His hair was neatly combed and his hazel-green eyes were scanning my room. He looked so handsome like he just stepped out of a photoshoot. "I just arrived. The meeting was this morning."

"It's still morning," I said rolling my eyes.

He raised his eyebrows up in amusement. "Are you sure about that? It's already in the afternoon, princess."

I put my blow dryer down and checked my phone. Damn, he was right. It was already passed twelve in the afternoon. "Oh."

"Yes, Oh. Anyways, I just want to let you know. Lila is not always here. She only cooks occasionally, most of the time I make my own food."

"Why?" I asked in disbelief. I still can't believe, he didn't have a cook. "She told me last night you like to have choices. She prepared so much food."

Ethan rolled his eyes. "Her cooking is delicious, so that's why I ask her to do that. And it's part of her job, she gets paid for it. But that only happens like once or twice in a month."

"Why not every day? You are loaded!" I can't believe it. He can afford everything and he still chooses to cook on his own. I don't know where he gets the time to do that.

Oops, I accidentally poured too much oil in the pan. Now it looks like I'm going to make soup. I hope it's not bad.

I broke the eggs and it immediately went into the pan. Suddenly the whole kitchen was filled with smoke. What the hell?!

How did that happen?!

I coughed and grabbed the towel to throw it over the pan to stop the smoke from coming.

The whole towel went up in flames. What the hell!

Shit! I forgot the stove was already on. Oh god! Oh god!

The fire alarm started to go off and that's when I started to panic!

"Oh god! Help! Help!" I yelled out trying to get out of the kitchen, but the only thing I could see was smoke, smoke, and more smoke. What if no one hears me?

I yelled louder. "Help! Oh god! Help!"

"What the fuck happened here?!" Ethan appeared out of nowhere with a fire extinguisher and immediately extinguished the fire.

He opened the windows in the kitchen so the smoke could go away. "What the hell were you trying to do?"
