and tailoring work would take place upstairs, while the downstairs area would showcase their creations for

“Lily, have we thought about a nfor our studio?” she asked.
Lily smiled and responded, “I have two names in mind: ‘LX Creations’ or ‘LX Designs. What do you think?”

Lily hesitated for a moment before replying shyly, “My-umm... my boyfriend.”
Mira grinned mischievously. “Ooh, a boyfriend! Who is he?”
“That's a secret,” Lily replied with a playful wink.

waited.
Meanwhile, Ethan was working on his laptop in the backseat of his car as it made its way toward Lily's location.

About halfway there, the driver noticed a large car speeding straight toward them in the opposite lane. Alarmed,
he pressed the horn repeatedly, but the approaching car showed no signs of slowing down. The loud blaring
noise pulled Ethan’s attention away from his laptop, his irritation evident as he looked up to reprimand the
driver.
But what he saw froze him in place-an out-of-control car was hurtling directly toward them. “Turn left! Now!” he
yelled.
The driver instinctively swerved left to avoid the collision, but in his haste, he failed to notice another vehicle
speeding in from that direction.
BANG!
The second car rammed into them from behind, forcing Ethan's car off the road. The impact sent their vehicle
skidding toward the side of the road before it smashed violently into a large tree.
CRASH!
The front of the car crumpled on impact. The driver slumped over the steering wheel, unconscious and bleeding
heavily from a gash on his head. Ethan, though less injured, was disoriented. His head had struck the car
window, leaving him bleeding and barely conscious. He blinked, trying to fight off the darkness clouding his
vision as he fumbled weakly for his phone.
“Lily...” he murmured faintly before his body gave out, and his surroundings dissolved into silence.
Minutes later, a sleek black car pulled up near the crash site. A man dressed in black stepped out, surveying the
wreckage with a whistle. “Boss is going to love this,” he muttered, a smug grin spreading across his face.
The road was eerily deserted, leaving the man alone with the wrecked vehicle and its two occupants. He
approached the car, peering through the shattered windows.
“Are they dead?” he mumbled, frowning as he noticed the motionless bodies of Ethan and his driver. A bead of
sweat formed on his brow. “If they're dead, the boss is going to kill me...”
Unbeknownst to him, Ethan was semi-conscious and could hear fragments of his words, but his body refused to
respond. His strength was gone, and his vision dimmed completely as he slipped into unconsciousness.
The man in black crouched and checked their pulses. He sighed in relief upon finding both alive. “Good,” he said
under his breath, pulling out his phone.
He dialed a number, and a deep, cold voice answered on the other end. “Is it done?”
“Yes, boss. Everything went as planned,” the man replied.
“And Ethan? Is he alive?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, boss.”
“Perfect,” the voice chuckled darkly. “Take him to the nearest hospital and stay there. Inform his assistant about
the situation. I'll handle the rest.”
“Yes, boss.”

The man in black ended the call and got to work, dragging Ethan and his driver out of the wreckage and into his
car. Once he arrived at the nearest hospital, he ensured they were admitted and stable before pulling out his
phone again.
This time, he called a different number. After a few rings, a sleepy voice answered, “Hello?”
“Your boss has been in an accident,” the man said curtly. “He's currently at Life Care Hospital. You might want to
check on him.”
