"Sweetheart," Emma called to Elizabeth.
"Yes, Mommy," Elizabeth replied as she grabbed her school bag and dashed out of the room to meet her mother, who was waiting by the entrance door.
"Honey, we are running late," Emma said, prompting Elizabeth to rush to her.
"I am here now," Elizabeth replied slyly, giggling. Emma knew she was up to something.
"What have you done, Eli?" Emma asked. She raised her brows in suspicion.
"Nothing, Mommy," Elizabeth replied, shaking her head. Emma gave up after looking at her for a minute. She walked out of the apartment, holding Elizabeth's hand. She locked the door, and they walked to the bus stop, waiting for the bus.
The school bus soon arrived. Emma kissed Eli's temple and assisted her in boarding the school bus. "I will see you later, honey."
Elizabeth waved goodbye to her mother and boarded the bus. As soon as she settled in. The driver drove away.

Ethan, on the other hand.
Ethan is a successful businessman, perhaps the most successful in all of New York. He is regarded as a ladies' man due to his youth and attractive appearance.
Despite having had numerous relationships with women, he does not enjoy dating; his only passion is expanding his business. He makes trillions of dollars but is never satisfied; he always wants more.
Ethan faces a significant challenge to advance: he must marry. He is unable to achieve his next business goal without marriage.
Someone knocked at his office door.
"Come inside," he said. A lady entered and closed the door behind her. She saunters over to his desk.
"Good morning, sir," she said.
"Good morning, Serah. "Please sit down," Ethan motioned to her, pointing to a single chair across the desk.
Serah took a seat across from Ethan. "I came to give you the update you requested." She handed him an envelope. He opened it and went through the contents. It contained profiles of several women. He set it aside after a glance.
"I will get back to you about this, Sarah. "You can go now," he said. "And thank you for your time," he said with gratitude.
"OK, sir. "I will take my leave," Serah said, standing up and leaving the office.
After she left, Ethan summoned Rose, his secretary, to his office.
Rose stepped inside. "Sir?" she inquired.
"What are my plans for today?" Ethan inquired, his eyes drawn to his phone.
"Sir, you have an appointment with your doctor at 10 a.m., followed by a meeting with Mr. Wellington at noon. "You have the rest of the day free."
"And tomorrow?" he inquired.
"You have a meeting at the LA'VIDA Hotels and Resorts at 9 a.m. Also, your flight to London has been scheduled for"
"Save it. "You can leave now," Ethan interjected. Rose walked out of the office, and Liam, Ethan's advisor and the company's COO, entered. He sat on a single white sofa, his legs crossed. Ethan had also joined him.
"Hey," Liam greeted.
Ethan replied without looking up from his phone, "Update, Liam."
Liam gave him a folder. "These are the only suitable candidates. Check out their profiles before making a decision."
