Chapter 207
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

In the next morning, Kelvin was waiting for Olivia downstairs. Olivia had put on some light makeup to appear more lively. Brent was waiting in front of the car when they arrived at the company. He said politely, "Mrs. Miller …"Olivia shook her head and said, "I told you. Don't address me as—""I'm sorry. I got used to it. I have something to tell you about your job. Mr. Miller has moved you to the sales department." Olivia frowned and said, "Didn't he agree to make me his secretary?"Brent looked at her awkwardly. He coughed softly and said, "Mr. Miller took into consideration that you want to improve yourself. "There are more hands-on challenges in the sales department than if you were his secretary. Mr. Miller has your best interest at heart." Olivia understood. Ethan couldn't possibly keep her by his side as a secretary. He wouldn't be able to answer to the Carltons for that. She understood that this was the outcome of her action at the Carlton residence. But she rea
Chapter 209
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

Grace didn't react even when Olivia placed the present on her table. "Ms. Engel, this is for you." Grace raised her head and adjusted her glasses. She said sternly, "Did you join the company to do pointless things like this?" "Olivia, don't mind her. That's just how she is. You don't have to give her a present if she doesn't want it." Nancy winked at Olivia and said, "Don't worry, I'll hand over the strategy chart to Mr. Ingram personally." "Okay, thanks. I'll not disturb you guys anymore." Olivia stole a glance at Grace. Grace had gotten back to work. It was as if she only cared about working. Grace and Nancy were polar opposites. Olivia wondered which one of them was the suspicious one. Olivia believed that the spy could not hide forever. The truth would definitely come out. Even if she didn't make a move, the spy might not be able to remain in the dark. She had embedded tracking devices into the brooches. So she was one step ahead of the spy this time. Olivia w

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

This was the first time Olivia had seen Ethan at work. She realized that she wasn't the only person that he treated badly. Sophia was scared out of her mind. She anxiously said, "Please don't be angry, Mr. Miller. This proposal is … Olivia, you say it."She looked back at Olivia and saw that she had no fear in her eyes. Even her back was straight.Olivia's eyes were also calmly meeting with Ethan's gaze. She thought Olivia was very brave! She quickly dispelled her drifting thoughts and snapped back into reality. Olivia saw her pleading gaze tinged with threats. She said, "Which part of my proposal are you not satisfied with, Mr. Miller?" Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, "You made this?" Ethan knew she had only been working for two days. Normally, the team leader wouldn't even let a new employee take part in such an important job. This proposal was linked to the quarterly evaluation and year-end bonus. It was apparent that the team leader wanted Olivia to take th
Chapter 213
As soon as Sophia entered the office, she threw the proposal at Olivia. "Go and submit your resignation to the HR department now! There's no place for a person like you in my team." Olivia gave her an icy smile and said, "How bossy of you, Ms. Linden. I did not make any mistakes. On what grounds are you firing me?" Sophia vented all the frustration she suffered from Ethan on Olivia. Her face was twisted in anger. She no longer wanted to keep up the facade. "On what grounds? The fact that we don't need an idiot like you in the workplace." "I'm an idiot because I don't want to take the fall? Even if I did, would Mr. Miller believe it? Or do you think he's as dumb as you are?"Sophia slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "Olivia Fordham!" "That's me. But if there's nothing else, I'll be excusing myself, Ms. Linden. Also, I am a contracted employee. "If you want to fire me, you should acquire the company first." Olivia left the office without looking back. She even w

Olivia cursed at Ethan as she sat in the front passenger seat. Everly was laughing at her misfortune. "I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. Ethan was so childish. "He splashed you with muddy water because you didn't get in his car. That's so evil." Olivia wiped herself with a towel. She looked upset. "That's how petty he is! I don't know if I was possessed when I fell for him.""You could've been." Everly agreed and nodded her head. She sized up Olivia before asking, "Long time no see. Have you been well?" Olivia didn't tell her about the incident where she vomited blood. "Yeah, the chemotherapy was pretty effective." Everly noticed that Olivia was in a better mood than before. Even her facial expressions looked more lively. Everly quickly said, "Why don't you consider doing it again? If it goes well, and you get to the condition where you can have surgery, you could go straight for surgery." "Actually …" Olivia propped her face up with her hand a
