"Remember how the last one went? MMA technique shit right there," he said. "But I didn't say it to spite you. A lot of my patients have been wanting to see me ever since I got back. I would have love to go but my hands are tied."
Stacy was in his office. She didn't say anything and just focused on the papers in her hands.
"Yeah, I don't still get why I have to impersonate you," I said. "I could just go and represent you."
"Oh come on, you know the drill when it comes to things like this, you have to pretend to be me, and I will pretend to be you," he reminded me. "it's always so fun."
"I don't want to…"
"Please?" he pleaded, "Just this last time?"
"Jeez, fine but don't look at me like that.” I agreed to his bizarre request while squeezing my face in displeasure over his puppy dog face.
"You don't have to look so displeased by my cuteness," he frowned. "At least Stacy thinks it looks cute."
"No. I do not think it does. Not even in the slightest," she replied without looking.
His shoulders dropped and he cleared his throat. "Well, she's only saying that because you're here, if it was just the both of us she would have been looking forward to see me do it again."
"Don't flatter yourself," the both of us said simultaneously.
I turned and smirked at her and she nodded with one in return.
"Alright, are you giving a speech?" I asked.
"No not really. It's just one of those boring conferences. I can't be seen falling asleep," he explained.
"The audacity…." I frowned but knew better than to get upset about it.
"You might also want to get ready, because the event is in two days’ time," he said.
"Two days. How long have you known about this meet and that you'd be unable to attend?" I asked.
"Two weeks, why?" he asked.
I facepalmed and turned around to leave.
"Thank you so much, little bro," he said as I closed the door behind me.
Ethan was never going to change. I'm surprised that he didn't ask Ben. Ben went for the one in London. Maybe he was considerate to Ben as he wanted to bond properly with his family. And maybe Ethan just wanted to be closer to his family in this period. I couldn't help thinking that he was plotting something. Whatever it was, I was going to find out in France.

"Why didn’t you tell him thetruereason you wanted him to go there?" Stacy asked, a few minutes after Ian had left.
"Where's the fun in spoiling the show?" I asked. "I actually meant the part about the fact I would fall asleep during the conference."
The moment I thought about the conference, a yawn came.
"You see?" I asked.
"Whatever," she sighed. "I feel like he deserves to know. A little heads up would be fine."
"It's Ian we're talking about. Right about now, he'd already be considering the fact that I was up to something," I assured her.
"Well, you might be right about that," she said. "Sometimes I realize that I don't really understand you siblings properly."
"Well, I don't understand us either," I said.
