Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

No one knew Ethan’s favorites better than Olivia. Thus, it should be easy to please him.

The only tricky part was whether he would give her the chance.

Back then, she had prepared dinner for him a few times as well.

Each time, she waited until midnight. Yet, there was no sign of his return.

He would give her the cold shoulder without batting an eye. No matter what she said, he wouldn’t meet her.

Olivia was testing the waters when she called Ethan. Apparently, he wasn’t as cruel as he was before.

After making dinner, she went to Miller Group by car.

She was deeply absorbed in her thoughts while hugging the lunch boxes.

The mastermind knew Ethan and Olivia’s situation like the back of his hand.

Hence, it was highly possible that he was an acquaintance of Ethan’s.

But who could it be?

Kelvin and Brent clearly could not be the mastermind. Madam Burgess was out of the question because she wouldn’t be able to keep things to herself.

Could it be one of the workers in the Miller Group?

Olivia didn’t visit him at work before they divorced. At that time, she assumed he was protecting her privacy.

Now, it seemed like a joke to her.

The public was aware of Ethan and Marina’s engagement. It was all over the news.

Yet, there wasn’t a huge change to Olivia’s identity.

Be it the past or present, she was kept in the dark like a dirty secret.

She took the presidential elevator to go to the highest floor of the building. Every employee had clocked out at this hour.

Only Ethan and his secretaries were working overtime.

Her feet halted by the door.

There were six secretaries working for him. She could recognize the four men and two women.

The moment she entered the office, she met eyes with a lady sitting in a corner.

The lady adjusted her spectacles. Olivia couldn’t see her eyes due to the reflection of the glass.

“Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller’s office is right ahead.” Brent showed Olivia the way.

The secretaries were buried in their works. She couldn’t observe much from that brief glimpse.

In order not to alarm them, she quickly left the area.

Brent knocked on the door, and an icy voice came from the inside. “Come in.”

He opened the door for Olivia before taking his leave.

The curious secretaries came up to him. “Brent, who’s that woman?”

Ethan was known for his aloof attitude toward women. Other than for collaboration purposes, no women had ever shown up

at this hour.

Brent smacked William Dante’s forehead. The latter was the liveliest among the secretaries.

“You talk too much. Have you finished your work yet?” Brent said.

William covered his forehead while muttering a few curses under his breath.

Brent looked at everyone. “Focus on your job.”

“Yes, Brent.” Everyone was eager for the gossip, but no one dared to start the discussion first.

Meanwhile, Olivia was looking at Ethan, who was working.

It was such an irony that she only visited him at work after the divorce.

It seemed like he was so preoccupied with work that he didn’t acknowledge her arrival.

She placed the lunch boxes on the table neatly.

The stars twinkled in the somber sky, and the city was illuminated.

Ethan appeared stoic under the lights. He didn’t spare Olivia a single glance as of now.

Pin–drop silence filled the office.

She didn’t have an inkling to his thoughts.

Judging from how he didn’t hit her despite her scoldings this morning, she was confident that he wouldn’t be physical here.

Mustering the courage in her, she approached him. The closer the distance was, the more intense she could feel his presence.

Even though he hadn’t uttered a word, his presence filled the air.

She walked up behind him, wanting to talk nicely with him.

However, the moment she saw the back of his head, her hand instinctively grabbed the ashtray.
