Sophia was astonished. It was the first time she had heard such outrageous statements. "You … You dare call Mr. Miller by his given name? How dare you?" "Is he a god or a martyr? Why can't I say his name?" Not only did Olivia dare to say his name. She also dared to hit him. Not only that, she's also held the company's shares. Ethan gave her some of the shares before they were divorced. She didn't have to work a day in her life. The dividends from the shares were already a hefty sum. She didn't need to sleep with Lincoln for some measly commission. "You're still young. You don't know how harsh reality can be. You'll know how little control over life you have when you're at my age."If you're still angry about me picking on you before, I'll apologize. Sometimes, I have to do things I don't want to as the team leader." Olivia was amazed. Sophia was a salesperson through and through. Forceful tactics didn't work, so she tried a softer approach. "Olivia, are you thinking of
They were the only ones in the spacious elevator. The mirrors on the sides reflected Ethan's icy expression. Olivia was trapped in a corner of the elevator and was pressured by Ethan's overwhelming presence. She dared not move. "Please show some restraint, Mr. Miller. You're already engaged to Ms. Carlton."Olivia never expected that one day, she would use the person she hated the most as an excuse.Ethan looked her in the eyes and said calmly, "I told you you don't have to worry about her." The elevator arrived at the top floor just as she wanted to say something. Ethan grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the lift. She looked at the familiar decor. Her expression changed slightly. She said, "Why did you bring me here? Do you want me to watch you while you and Marina do it? Don't be ridiculous, Ethan." Ethan pressed her finger on the fingerprint reader. The door opened. Olivia was taken aback. She didn't expect him to keep her prints on the record. She also didn'
As soon as she said that, Ethan looked at her with a prying look. His fingers traced lightly along her neck. "Jealous?""You must be joking, Mr. Miller. I am in no position to be jealous."Ethan saw the hint of disgust in her eyes. He bent over and kissed her neck. He even had the urge to bite down fiercely for a moment so that he could get rid of all of the complications between them in one bite.Olivia's resistance was apparent. Ethan raised her hands above her head. He held her chin with his fingers and said slowly, "Since you know your place, why are you resisting my touch?" Olivia frowned and said, "Why are you acting all crazy here, Ethan?" He smirked and let go of her chin. He began to unbutton her top. Olivia had a deal with him. She couldn't resist. She shouldn't resist. She could only mention the Carltons. "Ethan, you made a promise at the Carlton residence. Why are you breaking your promise and touching me now?" "What's the matter with playing around with a mistress?
Ethan traced her brows with the tip of his fingers. His dark pupils were like a deep abyss.They feel as if they would engulf her completely."What if I say I want you back now?" Ethan asked.Olivia replied without hesitation, "It's too late now."She turned away from Ethan and pointed to the scenery beneath them. She said, "You were the one who shoved me in the past down from here. You shattered everything. Including all my love and desire for you."Ethan's hands tightened around her waist. She was then pushed against the glass. He looked at her clean and pearly face. His voice was deep and icy, threatening even. "I don't care where your heart lies. All I want is you in the flesh." Ethan was like an arrogant emperor who held the life and death of his subjects in the palm of his hand. And she was like an ant before him. He only had to put his foot down to destroy her. Even his voice was filled with arrogance. "See, your willingness doesn't matter. Whatever I want to do will be
The pent-up anger overwhelmed Olivia as she glared at Ethan. "It's not like I'm your only woman. "Why does it have to be me? Marina is just right downstairs. Should I call her over?""It's because you're the only one for me!" he said aloud in his head.However, that answer was buried deep in his heart. He tightened his grasp around her waist, inhaling a deep breath.He said, "Must you put up a fight with me over this kind of matter?"Olivia barely suppressed the urge to tell him how much he disgusted her. She was aware that their relationship was as rigid as ever. Thus, she needed to keep her emotions under control.Confronting him recklessly wouldn't do her good.As an afterthought, she decided to compromise. She lowered her head. "I just … can't get used to it."Taking a step back, as she had expected, never failed to work wonders whenever facing Ethan.He watched her exposed nape. It was as if a kitty was revealing its weakness. It managed to appease his anger a little
Ethan's gaze made Olivia's skin crawl. She coughed lightly. "I saw a janitor in your office yesterday."He thought she was going to say something fluttering, but she mentioned an outsider."Olivia Fordham, are you suspecting that I'm having an affair with a janitor?" Fury seeped into his voice."What are you thinking about? I'm just curious why someone is cleaning your office during office hours. It's an important place."He replied without much thought. "Stephanie lives far from here, so she clocks off early. She cleans my office early at times when I'm working."What's the matter? You don't care about Marina, but now you care about a janitor?""Since when did Miller Group provide such good employee welfare?"Ethan was cutting his steak into pieces as he answered indifferently, "Stephanie is different. She saved my life before. It won't hurt to provide her some perks.""When? How come I didn't know about it?" Olivia put her cutleries down."Are you worried about me?" A smile
Alarmed, Olivia hurriedly explained, "I noticed some loopholes after reading those documents. "That info isn't sufficient enough to prove that my father murdered your sister. There is no evidence or witness. It's just a speculation of my father's motive."Ethan shoved the plates off the table.The warmth on his face gave way to coldness. He seemed to be the man he was from three months ago.Before Olivia could explain her stance further, he stood up and looked at her intimidatingly."Firstly, a DNA test was done on that body. It was my sister. "Secondly, I've done another DNA test between the baby in her womb and your father. They were genetically related."Thirdly, I've looked into what happened to Leia before her death. "Be it her contact history or other records. Jeff was the person she contacted the most."Lastly, the final person she met was Jeff, too. Who else could it be other than him?"If you're demanding a witness, are you going to ask for a medical miracle so th
Olivia returned home with her anger unappeased. She turned on her laptop to check on the trackers.It was the trackers she gifted to the six secretaries.Four of them were currently at the Golden Hall Apartment. She was aware that it was an accommodation arranged for the higher-ups.Nancy was currently in a bar. It suited her character well. She was an executive secretary during the day and a party queen at night.The brooch Olivia placed on Grace's table showed weird signs. It wandered almost every corner of the city before settling in a waste disposal site.Olivia kneaded her forehead, thinking that there was something off about Grace.Who would ever loathe an expensive item?Yet, it turned out that Grace had discarded the brooch from Olivia into a trash can.Olivia contacted Jack, wondering if he had new findings. However, his phone was turned off.She was concerned, worrying that something might have happened to him.His identity was special yet mysterious. She never knew his fac
