Chapter 232
In the past, Olivia would've checked Ethan's injury or given him a massage on the head immediately.However, she didn't do the same today.Even though their divorce was the result of a scheme and Jeff's hospitalization had nothing to do with Ethan, everything was in the past.She needed to get used to a life without him.Olivia stood right where she was respectfully and said in a calm manner, "Mr. Miller, I brought the proposal."He didn't open his eyes as he furrowed his brows. "Come here."She came to his side. "If you're tired, I can read the proposal for you."In the past, she would read the documents for him whenever he was exhausted.After he told her his decision, she would proceed with the following step.Opening his eyes, Ethan pulled her into his embrace.She shrieked. The angry man who told her to scram last night was making his advance all of a sudden.The papers scattered on the floor, and her hands rested against his built chest.At this time, Marina should be
Chapter 233
Olivia and Ethan's relationship turned more complicated than before. She didn't know what was on his mind.One moment, he would cling to her; the next, he would demand her to leave.Still, she was aware that now was not the time to strain things with him.She had a hunch that the mastermind intended to chase her out of Miller Group by catastrophizing the matter.After all, the photos couldn't prove that there was something else going on between Olivia and Elijah.It could only ruin her reputation and gain Marina's attention at most.If Olivia's guess was right, Marina showed up at Miller Group because of those photos.As long as Ethan wanted to avoid misunderstandings, it would take a word from Marina to drive Olivia out of here.The mastermind must've noticed that Olivia was looking into the case.Hence, he was using Marina to make Olivia stay away from Miller Group.Now, Ethan was the only savior she could ask for help from.She drew circles on his chest with a grim expr

Provoking Marina was never in Olivia's plan. Olivia never expected Marina to be here this quickly either.Marina had always resented Olivia to the bone. If she found Olivia in the CEO's office, she would surely turn the whole company upside down.Thinking about the objective behind her arrival at Miller Group, Olivia was determined not to let Marina ruin her plan.Impatiently, Olivia shoved Ethan's chest.He ignored her protest because he'd been desiring such a moment all along. Like a lost tourist who finally found a source of water in the desert, he wouldn't let her go.Olivia was flustered because Marina was going to barge into the office at any time.Marina was getting impatient. She was Ethan's fiancée and yet Brent was treating her like an intruder.She said, "What's wrong? Do I need to make an appointment to see my fiancé? Make way."Olivia's heart was on the verge of jumping out of her chest. She broke free from Ethan's grasp with all her might.She thought, "He's cr

Marina reflexively wanted to ask Ethan if it was Olivia, but she held herself back.Now that they were going to register their marriage soon, she didn't want anything to happen that could possibly delay the event any further.She decided to buy it, believing that he accidentally bit his lip.Even if Olivia had something to do with this, she didn't want to mention Olivia's name in front of him.Marina noticed that he had been acting out of character these days.In the past, he didn't hide the resentment in his eyes whenever Olivia's name was brought up.However, it seemed like his feelings for her had changed in the past few months. He cared about her again.Ethan and Marina hadn't registered their marriage as of now.Because of that, she didn't want to have a fight with him over this kind of matter."It's a slip of the tongue. Oh, I baked these muffins myself. Try them." She placed the muffins on his desk.Ethan looked at them. He knew that Olivia used to make the same muffin

Marina, who could read the room very well, noticed Ethan's displeasure.She said, "I see. I didn't know about that."He was too lazy to explain it further as he said, "Stephanie, you may do your job.""Okay, Mr. Miller."While Stephanie was doing the cleaning, Marina was observing her. Considering Stephanie's old age, Marina supposed that it was nearly impossible for Ethan to have an affair with Stephanie.As an afterthought, she began scrolling through her phone.Meanwhile, Olivia's blood was boiling as she thought, "Forget about letting Marina stay, why did he let the janitor clean the room? Is he trying to have me get caught red-handed?"Still, she found it weird that Stephanie would choose to do the cleaning at this hour.She tried to observe Stephanie, but the latter had her back facing her. It was weird that Stephanie was wearing a bucket hat since they were indoors.When Stephanie was going to wipe the bookshelf after wiping the window, Olivia got anxious.She migh

Olivia barely survived a crisis, yet she was in the lion's den again.She saw the proposal from the corner of her eyes and took it. "I know you're in a hurry, but calm yourself down, please. My colleagues are waiting for a reply from you."Ethan noticed the frantic in her eyes, knowing that she didn't want to pay the price for her deed.After heaving a long sigh, he released Olivia. Jumping off the desk, she stood beside him.She dared not breathe heavily as she tried to calm herself. She passed him the proposal. "Take a look."Ethan's gaze swept across the document before landing on her face again. "Do you still want to stay in Miller Group for a month?""Yes." She nodded."I don't pay useless people. You'll be handling this project."She was stunned. "Are you trying to make me a public enemy?""You already are. Handling this project won't make a difference."Olivia couldn't see through his intention. She took the proposal. "The proposal—""As I've said, I'll leave it t

Soon, the whole department heard of Olivia getting slapped. Considering that Ethan had given her total control of the project, this was unexpected.Any smart person would've noticed that something was off. Everyone knew that Brent had gotten Olivia in.By the looks of it, the force behind Olivia wasn't Brent but Ethan instead.When they realized that, the members of Team C were terrified.It was no wonder that Olivia was so arrogant and never respected anyone. It now made sense for Ethan to request for her specifically to deliver the proposal.The company even issued a warning because of the photo incident.There was an explanation for everything now. The force backing Olivia was the almighty Ethan!It didn't matter if she were Ethan's lover; the most Marina could do was slap Olivia.For a moment, everyone was anxious. None of them dared to snatch any projects away from her. They were scrambling to gain her favor instead.Respectfully, Norma placed the strawberry milkshake Oli

As Brent looked at the micro tracker on the desk, his face turned pale."H-How could this be? What is Mrs. Miller trying to do?"Picking up the tracker, Ethan stuffed it back into the clip. "Give it back to William. Don't tell anyone about this.""Understood, Mr. Miller."Ethan fiddled with his tie clip. Ever since Olivia requested to be his assistant, he had been suspecting her.Judging by Olivia's personality, she would try to get as far away from him as possible. It didn't make sense for her to stay by his side.Unless she was trying to get something from him.Was it money?She could donate 500 million dollars without batting an eye. She obviously didn't lack money.The only other reason would be Jeff.He remembered her hesitant behavior the other day. "Did she figure something out?" he wondered.Noticing that Ethan had stayed silent, Brent couldn't see through Ethan's thoughts either. He asked carefully, "So, about Mrs. Miller …""Don't do anything yet, in case she's al
