"Did I disturb you? I'll try to keep my voice down. Startled, Janet clamped her mouth with her hand and looked at him apologetically. Ethan shook his head and walked to her bed. Then, he slumped onto it and inhaled her sweet fragrance. Propping his head on his arm, Ethan closed his eyes. "What happened? Why are you so happy?" he asked casually "Don’t lie on my bed, Ethan. Janet’s cheeks puffed as she tried to pull his arm. He was tall and heavy. Finally, she gave up and sat on the chair beside the desk. "I met a wealthy and generous client who asked me to design for him. I just submitted my draft and got paid. Ethan opened his eyes and saw Janet grinning with joy. "Then, you don’t have to go for the drug trial. That's good. " Janet smiled. She rested her chin on the palm of her hand and poked the lamp on the desk with one finger. Why don’t you ask me how much.
