Chapter 70
After receiving the phone call Ethan decided to head to the restaurant.
He booked a taxi and not long after he arrived.
He walked closer to the restaurant, his eyes started scanning around. It didn't take long for him to spot the old man and his granddaughter seated at a table in the corner, engaged in what appeared to be a serious conversation.
without wasting any more time he approached them.
immediately he entered inside the restaurant, Ethan couldn't help but take notice of the old man granddaughter's striking appearance.
She was an exceptionally mature woman, her curved body was impossible for Ethan to ignore. 'Damn, she's absolutely breathtaking,'
He thought to himself, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He quickly shook his head, trying to clear his mind of such inappropriate thoughts.
'Get a grip, Ethan. She's way out of my league, and I'm not looking to settle down with an older woman. I need to focus on the task at hand.' Ethan mentally chided himself, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves.
He couldn't believe he was even thinking about marriage right now? when he's here for business, and nothing more.
Ethan finally walked to their table. immediately Naomi saw Ethan her eyes widened in surprise, her mouth falling open as she took in his youthful appearance, without being told she could tell Ethan was the one her grandfather told her about, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Wait a minute, he's practically a child!"
She mused, her brow furrowing in confusion.
"He's barely old enough to attend university?"
However Ethan didn't put ears to her words he was already lost in her beauty.
Without thinking twice Ethan extended his hand for a handshake, a polite gesture meant to break the ice.
He offered Naomi a warm smile, hoping to put her at ease concerning his appearance.
However Naomi returned the handshake but then she hold onto Ethan's hand so tightly, refusing to let go.
Her eyes immediately narrowed, suspicion was written all over her intense gaze.
Ethan at that moment attempted to withdraw his hand, but her strength caught him completely off guard.
'I never would have guessed that a woman with such an incredible figure could possess this kind of raw power'
Ethan said to himself.
He exclaimed, his face etched with concern.
"Can't you see that you're hurting him?"
immediately Naomi shook her head stubbornly, her jaw clenched tightly, she wants to get to the root of everything, Ethan is just too young to have such an amount of money, and he confirmed his parents are no more and they passed away when he was very little, then how come all of a sudden he's rich.
"No, Grandfather. I'm merely doing my job as a private investigator" she insisted, her eyes never leaving Ethan's face.
"We need to know exactly who we're dealing with before we proceed any further on this matter."
She gazes at Ethan with another deadly gaze.
her eyes boring into his soul.
"I have strong suspicions that you're involved in illegal activities. What kind of person would be in his right sense would donate such an exorbitant amount of money for something little in return? It's absolutely ludicrous!"
At that moment She gaze Ethan from head to toe, her lip curling in contempt.
"Seeing you in person only confirms my belief that you're completely out of your mind, and you messed with the wrong person."
However Ethan was becoming tired of everything and Naomi seemed to be really interested in it.
With a sudden burst of strength that surprised even himself.
Ethan wrenched his hand free from Naomi's iron grip.
The ease with which he accomplished it left Naomi gaping in astonishment, her eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
"How did he manage that?"
she wondered silently, her mind racing to comprehend the situation, she knows only a few people can escape her grip
"What just happened?"
Naomi had tackled gang leaders and tough guys twice her size in the past, but none had ever broken free so effortlessly but a child just did it so freely as if he didn't even try. "There's definitely more to him than meets the eyes"
She said to herself, realizing what she's up against, a chill started running down her spine.
Ethan at that moment took a step back from the table, squaring his shoulders and standing tall.
His expression immediately turned serious, his piercing green eyes locking onto Naomi's with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.
"Since you're so curious to know about me, Allow me to introduce myself properly."
