The first thought Olivia had when she saw Chloe was that they were fated to meet each other. But only as strangers. As she turned to leave, Chloe caught up to her and said, "Just give me a moment, Liv. I have something I need to tell you."Olivia didn't stop. In fact, she sped up. Chloe ran after her.Then, Olivia only stopped when she heard a nurse say anxiously, "Mrs. Carlton, slow down. Your heart can't take much more of this!" Olivia stopped in her tracks when she heard that. Chloe finally managed to grab her hand. She said while panting, "Please, just give me a moment, Liv."Chloe looked pale and weak without makeup on. Even her lips were slightly bluish. "Mrs. Carlton, I thought there was nothing left to say between us?" "Five minutes, Liv, give me five minutes. Please," Chloe begged.The nurse standing next to them said, "Mrs. Carlton has a heart condition, miss. Please do not agitate her anymore." Olivia was put on the spot. She couldn't walk away now. "Alrigh

The Carltons were standing at the door. They were furious when they saw what was going on in the room.Chris was especially angry. He quickly approached Olivia and Chloe. He was relatively gentle to Olivia before. But now, he was staring daggers at her. "What are you doing, honey?" Chris said in a serious tone as he helped Chloe up. Before Olivia could say anything, Chris said harshly, "Ms. Fordham, no matter what prejudices you might have against her, she is your mother, after all. "She had been thinking of you all these years. The worry she felt caused her to be unwell. She also has a pre-existing heart condition. "Why do you keep agitating her? Will you only be happy after you've killed her?" "Please stop, honey," Chloe attempted to defend Olivia. Chris patted her on her hand and said with an intense expression, "Ms. Fordham, believe it or not, I do feel bad for you."I truly want to treat you like my own daughter. I want to allow Chloe to carry out her duties as a m

Olivia's eyes slowly came into focus. She saw a white shirt. She looked up and saw Ethan's strong jawline. The hope was gone from her eyes. She remembered that Jeff was still unconscious in the hospital. There was no way he could've been here. "Why did your nose bleed?" Olivia couldn't believe that was Ethan's first question. She could smell the scent of an unfamiliar shower gel on him. She recalled the fact that he slept in the same bed as Marina last night. She quickly moved away from his embrace. "I hit my nose. My mother accidentally hit the wound when she slapped me," Olivia said calmly. Ethan stared at her face. He wanted to find hints of her lying. Olivia looked at him adamantly and said, "What? You don't believe me? "Weren't you the one that said I was in good health and that nothing could be wrong with me?" "That's true," Ethan agreed. It wasn't clear if he was trying to convince himself or Olivia. He didn't notice the fleeting smirk that crossed Oliv

It was thanks to the Carltons that Olivia was finally free from Ethan's control. Although they were still in the same company, a lowly salesperson like her couldn't possibly meet the CEO. The only inconvenience was that she got removed from the secretary's office. She was distanced from the secretaries. And that strayed her from the goal she came here for. Olivia could only put her hopes on Jack. She hoped that he could dig up something useful on his trip. As she was lost in her thoughts, someone said with a sigh, "Why do I have to be the one to hand in the strategy chart again?" Olivia turned and met the eyes of Norma Talbot, the person whose desk was next to hers. She was an earnest person. "What's wrong, Ms. Talbot?"Norma pushed her hair behind her ear and said sheepishly, "It's time to hand in this project's strategy chart. As you know, we're already the C team. "We were ranked last in the previous month. I don't dare to walk into the secretary's office. I'll be scared to

The matter blew up. Normally, Ethan would be communicating with the sales director if he had a problem. He wouldn't usually call for a team leader. Norma's bubbly demeanor quickly turned sour. "Olivia, I've said it before. You have limited experience. Since you joined Team C, you should focus on learning. "Instead, your mind seems to be filled with all sorts of nonsense. Did you make Mr. Miller angry?"Did you think you could do whatever you wanted because you had the looks? Who do you think Mr. Miller is? Do you know what happened to the last employee that tried to seduce him?" Olivia felt that she had been unlucky lately. Nothing was going her way. She went to the secretary's office once. The colleague who was all cordial before was already reprimanding her. The words that came out of her mouth were so unpleasant. Olivia said calmly, "I didn't get to meet Mr. Miller. I just submitted the strategy chart to the secretary's office. I don't know how I could've angered Mr
