Chapter 44：Dissapear

Seeing Ethan, who was silent and confused, Mi Sun sighed.

"You! Noona saw the contents of the message on your cellphone. Isn't that wrong? Besides, why don't you lock your cellphone? What if someone else takes your cellphone?" asked Mi Sun

"Ahh that, it's okay if noona wants to see it. I'm not hiding anything. Besides, it's inconvenient to have to enter the password every time I try to use my phone," replied Ethan.

Once again, Mi Sun just sighed at Ethan's explanation.

Mi Sun is worried about the innocent and careless Ethan.

"Hmm… yes, I will create a password for my cellphone later. Thank you for the advice, noona!" Ethan answered after listening to Mi Sun's explanation, it made sense.

Mi Sun just nodded because Ethan seemed to have understood and released her grip from Ethan's cellphone. Ethan, who saw that Mi Sun didn't have anything else to say, took back his cellphone and opened the Line application to read the messages from Agung.

Agung NamTech: "Sir Ethan, are you busy?" 10:10 AM

Agung NamTech: "If you've read this message, please contact me immediately" 12:30 PM

Ethan frowned. Did something happen to NamTech?

Ethan then looked at the clock on his cellphone screen, 5:30 PM. He suddenly realized that 7 hours have passed since Agung first contacted him.

Ethan just sighed and tried to contact Agung again. Hopefully, nothing serious happened.

Because he was called by the director to rehearse some fighting moves for his acting, Mi sun didn't bother to tell him about the message he got from Agung. The message didn't seem important to her. She didn't know Indonesian, so she couldn't read it anyway.

Ethan couldn't blame Mi Sun for not telling him about Agung's message because Mi Sun couldn't understand the message, and it's not Agung's fault he messaged in Indonesian.

"Looks like now I can't leave my cellphone in the car anymore while filming," Ethan thought while waiting for Agung to pick up the phone. He is currently the interim CEO of NamTech, which is one of the largest companies in Indonesia. He has to pay attention and lead the company.

"Hello, Sir Ethan. Finally," Agung's voice came a moment later.

"I'm sorry I can only contact you now, what's wrong? Is something serious going on?" asked Ethan as he walked towards the corner. Although he spoke Indonesian, he decided to be extra careful.

"Yes! Why didn't Sir Ethan tell me that sir Ethan is a celebrity from South Korea? The news has already spread on the internet! Someone took a picture of Sir Ethan when you arrived in the lobby! This morning a lot of people came to the office and contacted the public relations department asking for an interview because the news says that Sir Ethan is the new CEO of the NamTech company!" said Agung, explaining how chaotic things were this morning.

"WHAT?!" said Ethan in a loud voice, Mi Sun, who was not far from him looked at him with a look saying, "what's wrong?"

Ethan, who felt Mi Sun's gaze, looked at her and said, "Ah, sorry noona! It's okay! Don't worry!" Ethan said reassuringly. If Mi Sun finds out that his photo in Indonesia is traveling around the internet, Ethan doesn't know what else Mi Sun will do to him.

"So, how's the office now? What decision did papa or mama make? How badly has the news spread?" asked Ethan, who refocused his conversation with Agung

"Sir Ethan doesn't know? The names of Sir Ethan and NamTech have become a trending topic on social media! Ah, the current state of the office is not what it was this morning, but there are still several incoming calls. Regarding the decision. . . I didn't contact Mr. Nam or Mrs. Wang," Agung explained.

"Then who made the decisions?" Ethan asked confused, if it wasn't his papa or mama who made the decisions, then who?

"That… I made the decision," Agung now began to sound doubtful. Will the boss scold him for making decisions without his or his parents' permission?

"Oh!" Ethan was a little surprised, "what decision did you make?" asked Ethan.

Agung then explained about the news article that he ordered the public relations department to release.

Ethan listened intently, and after Agung ended his explanation, Ethan heaved a sigh of relief. Agung made a great decision!

"Good job! By the way, how badly did the news about me spread? I don't have an account on that social media," Ethan asked curiously. He is rarely active on social media and only has 1 account.

"Ah, a minute, Sir Ethan," said Agung. Ethan could hear the sound of a keyboard typing in the background.

"This is weird..." Agung was talking to himself, but Ethan still heard him.

"Huh? What? What happened? Has my name gone viral? Is there an English version of the article?" asked Ethan.

Because of recent technological advances, news from the South Korean entertainment industry can spread worldwide.

When there is a new film played by an actor, actress, or idol, there must be an article in the English version.

If there is a scandal, whether it be drugs, prostitution, ****, or violence, there is almost always an article in English.

Moreover, whenever a celebrity are caught dating, married, and even divorced, the whole world knew about it.

So, Ethan was worried about the news of him being the interim CEO of NamTech or any clarification made by NamTech about him who would work with them getting out, especially if an English article was already out.

If so, soon the news will reach his agency.

Ethan wanted to tell his agency about it, after all, he only needed a day a week to go to NamTech, but Mi Sun forbade him to do that because his current relationship was not good with his agency.

Ethan honestly doesn't feel that way, but he chooses to follow Mi Sun's advice because she cares about him.

"Ah, it's not like that. There are no articles out in English," said Agung, who still couldn't believe what he was seeing. Ethan could hear the occasional click of the keyboard and the occasional click of the mouse.

"Then what happened?"

"NamTech's name has disappeared from the trending topic, but Sir Ethan's name is still at number 18. It seems that the posts talking about Sir Ethan and NamTech have disappeared," said Agung, who was still surprised because Ethan suddenly dropped from the trending topic position and because there were only a few posts about NamTech.

Agung then tried to search the names of Ethan and NamTech together, but no results showed up. If he searches for NamTech, it only shows old posts, none today or yesterday.

"Disappear? What does that mean?" asked Ethan, who didn't understand Agung's words.

"Yes, the posts are gone, Sir Ethan! The posts are no longer on social media! Looks like the post has been deleted by the site or the users themselves!" said Agung

"Ohh… did the IT department do it? Maybe the news had reached Mr. Nam or Mrs. Wang, and they told them to do it," said Ethan. As the largest IT company in Indonesia, the workers employed by his papa and mama must have spectacular abilities.

His papa and mama even cleaned up a scandal he was a part of while being a member of Colors, so Ethan felt his papa and mama were capable of doing something like this.

"Oh! Should I ask them about it? Maybe Sir Ethan is busy right now?" asked Agung. They had been talking for a long time, and he was afraid to disturb Ethan.

"Ah yes, you can ask them about it. Ah no, I'm not too busy right now. I'm also curious," said Ethan, who was curious. Honestly, he doesn't know how capable his papa and mama were in dealing with things like this because he decided to live independently since he went to high school.
