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
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
The next morning, Olivia appeared at the office full of energy. It was a stark contrast compared to her colleagues with their bloodshot eyes and tired faces. It was like a human walking into a group of zombies.It was like she didn't remember the insults yesterday. Olivia greeted Norma politely, "Good morning."Her bright smile annoyed Norma. Norma grabbed a cup of coffee and went back to her desk. She then muttered sarcastically, "Some people sure have it easy." Olivia didn't let it slide. She said innocently, "I wanted to take part in the planning. But you guys thought I was new and was afraid I might leak the proposal. "You didn't even let me in the meeting. Don't act like it's my fault now." Olivia's words triggered Norma's anger. She threw her documents on her table and said, "Olivia Fordham, what the hell are you talking about?" Olivia shrugged and said, "Nothing, just that you're a hypocrite." "Olivia Fordham, you better watch your mouth. Who do you think you are, talkin
Olivia asked because she thought it was strange. She didn't expect a real answer. "What background would a cleaner have?" "I heard that she saved Mr. Miller's life before." Olivia was fascinated, "But why is she only a cleaner if she saved his life?""She had no one. She's used to the job. That's why she kept doing it. "But she only cleans Mr. Miller's office. There's not much to clean. The load is fairly light." Olivia nodded and said, "I see." She talked with the cleaner for a little bit more, then left. She made a mental note of the mysterious cleaner. Evening came. Olivia tagged along with Sophia to meet Lincoln. Sophia was touching up her makeup in the car. She threw occasional glances at Olivia. "Olivia, I see that you're still young. If you can secure this deal with Mr. Lincoln tonight, I'll forgive what you did yesterday.""Is he hard to negotiate with?" "For other people, yes. But for a pretty woman like you, it's a different matter." Sophia was finishe
