“Don’t try to deny it, Ethan. It's obvious you're drunk,” Lily said, shaking her head in disbelief the was utterly

taken aback by his behavior. The man she had always known to be calm, collected, and in control was now

acting like a child. She had never seen him in this ware before.

With a heavy sigh, she turned to Assistant Ben. “Please, take these bottles away”

“Yes, Miss Lily,” Assistant Ben replied promptly. He carefully removed the empty bottles from Ethan's hands and

slipped out of the office, leaving the couple alone.

Now, the room was silent, except for the faint hum of the air conditioning Lily walked closer to her husband and

asked softly. “Ethan, why did you drink so much? Did something happen

Ethan looked at her with wide, teary eyes, like a child caught doing something wrong “Lily! Don’t hate met |

promise | won't drink again. Please, don’t hate me! I'm so sorry!” he pleaded, his voice trembling with

desperation.

Lily couldn’t help but chuckle at his antics. Drunk Ethan was an entirely new side of him-endearing, innocent,

and completely out of character. She had seen many people behave absurdly while drunk, but Ethan was in a

league of his own.

When she didn’t respond immediately, Ethan suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her into a tight hug He

buried his face in her shoulder, whining like a little boy seeking forgiveness. “Wifeyyy! Please forgive me! I'm so

sorry! My sweetie! My cuticee!”

Lily froze for a moment, speechless. What is this man even saying? she thought, completely thrown off by his

childish behavior.

“Alright, alright, stop shaking me!” she said, steadying herself as she held his shoulders.

Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind, and a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes. She smirked at her husband,

who continued to cling to her like his life depended on it. “Ethan, do you wantto forgive you?” she asked

sweetly.

Ethan nodded enthusiastically, his drunken state making him even more eager.

“I'll forgive you,” Lily said, her smile turning sly, “but only on one condition. Will you do what I ask?”

Without hesitation, Ethan nodded again. “Yes! Anything for my wifey!”

“Good!” she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Glancing around the room, her gaze fell on the cameras

mounted on the walls. Pointing toward them, she asked casually, “Are the cameras in your office working?”

Ethan blinked, trying to process her question. “What?”

“The cameras,” she repeated, her voice patient but firm. “Are they working?”

He tilted his head, his brow furrowed as he pondered. Then, his face lit up. “Oh, the cameras! Yeah, the ones in

my office are working!” he said proudly.

“Perfect,” Lily said, her laughter bubbling out. She looked far too pleased with herself, and Ethan’s drunk mind

couldn’t quite comprehend why.

Seeing her so delighted, he suddenly leaned closer with a conspiratorial expression. “Wifey, do you want to

“A secret?” she repeated, raising an eyebrow. “What kind of secret?”

He waved her closer with a finger, beckoning her to lean in. Lily hesitated for a moment but eventually obliged,

moving closer to hear him. The sharp scent of alcohol hit her nose immediately, making her grimace.

“Ugh, Ethan! Why did you drink so much? You smell terrible!” she scolded, wrinkling her nose.

Ethan pouted like a scolded child, looking genuinely hurt.

“Anyway,” Lily said, shaking her head, “just tellyour secret. What is it?”

Ethan chuckled softly, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. “Hehe.... Wifey, do you know there's a hidden camera

in my office? A secret one. Nobody knows about it! Not even stupid Ben!”

Lily's jaw dropped slightly, but she quickly masked her surprise with a playful smile. Oh, this is going to be

interesting, she thought to herself, ready to see where this conversation would lead.

A hidden camera, huh? Lily thought, her lips curling into a mischievous smile. “Alright, Ethan, if you really want

“What is it, Wifey?” Ethan asked with an innocent expression, his drunken gaze fixed on her.

“You have to dance for me,” she declared, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

“Dance?” he repeated, tilting his head like a confused puppy. After a beat, he broke into a wide grin. “I'll dance!

Of course, I'll dance for my Wifey! But wait... there's no music! How can | dance without a song?”

Lily chuckled at his enthusiasm. “Hold on, I'll fix that.” She picked up her phone, scrolled through her playlist,

and selected an upbeat party track. Setting the phone on the table, she smiled at her eager husband. “There you

go. The stage is all yours.”

As the music filled the room, Ethan wasted no time. He began to sway his hips, waving his arms tically and

stomping his feet in rhythm with the song. Despite his occasional unsteady swaying. which had her holding back

giggles, Lily found herself impressed. His moves were surprisingly good- playful yet confident.

She clapped along, thoroughly entertained, until she noticed a mischievous glint in his eyes. Before she could

question it, Ethan shot her a playful wink. Her heart skipped a beat.

And then, to her utter shock, his hands moved to his shirt. Slowly, he undid the first button.

Her jaw dropped. “E-Ethan...” she stammered, her voice catching in her throat.

He didn’t stop. With each beat of the song, he unfastened another button, revealing more of his toned chest.

Lily’s cheeks turned a deep shade of red as she tried-and failed-to look away.

By the tthe last button was undone, her eyes were glued to him. His sharp collarbone, his chiseled

everything was on display, and she couldn't stop herself from staring.

“E-Ethan...” she managed to whisper again, her face flushed.

Grinning like a cat that had caught its prey, Ethan sauntered toward her. He gently cupped her face, his fingers

brushing against her cheek as he leaned in. The scent of alcohol lingered in the air, but his sultry smile made her

heart race. Just as he was about to shrug off his shirt completely-

Lily stared at him for a moment, trying to keep a straight face, but she couldn't hold it in the borst into laughter,

doubling over as she clutched her stomach,

“Haha... Oh my gosh, Ethan, you look so cute with a red nose” she teased between fits of laughter

Ethan's pout deepened, Crossing his arms, he turned his head away, muttering, “Bad Wiley, You're so mean,

laughing atwhen I’m hurt, Bad, bad Wifey!”

Lily wiped tears from her eyes, finally regaining her composure. “Okay, okay, I'm not laughing, anymore. |

promise. Showwhere it hurts,” she said gently,

“No!” he huffed, stubbornly keeping his arms crossed.

Lily smiled at his childish behavior. Cupping his chin, she gently turned his face toward her. Leaning in, she

pressed a soft kiss to his nose. “Does it still hurt now?” she asked sweetly.

Ethan blinked, his expression softening as he nodded.

She kissed his nose again. “How about now?”

He nodded again, his lips curving into a small smile.

Lily grinned and began peppering his face with kisses, from his cheeks to his forehead, even the tip of his nose.

Ethan burst into laughter, squirming under her playful affection. “Wifey, stop! It tickles!”

“Still hurting?” she asked, finally pulling back.

“No,” he said with a wide smile, but then he pointed to his lips. “But you didn’t kisshere.”

Lily narrowed her eyes, shaking her head. “No way. I'm not kissing a drunkard!”

Ethan's face fell, and he pouted again. “Wifey is so mean...”

Lily chuckled at his tic sulking, thinking to herself how utterly adorable he looked. Drunk or Ethan was a

handful-but he was her handful.
