Chapter 106

Sunday morning, 10:00 AM. Mia arrived at the company on time.

The directors had already arrived. She walked straight into the meeting room and stood beside the head of the table, enduring the strange looks from everyone in the room.

Ethan was wearing a black wool coat. He sat there with his hair slicked back perfectly. His legs were crossed, and he held the file for the project with Marcus Ford.

The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was present, but Ethan didn’t react for a long time.

Mr. Lee cleared his throat and asked, “Is everyone here?”

‘Everyone’s here,” someone replied.

Ethan’s movements paused. He slowly turned his head and shot a glance at Mia. She was wearing a stiff black shirt and two-inch heels, standing dutifully behind him. Her head was lowered, and her delicate features were devoid of expression. There was no sign that she intended to explain herself.

‘I apologize for making you all come in on a weekend.” Ethan dropped the folder onto the table with a loud “thud”. ‘Let’s begin.”

Mr. Lee looked at Mia. “Ms. Carter, as an employee of Bayview, you insulted Ms. Bennett in front of a client. You’ve damaged Mr. Hale’s image and dragged the company into a public relations nightmare. When did you become so reckless?”

Last time was the same,” another added. “She’s been getting too close to the people from Riverside. I don’t think

her heart is with Bayview anymore!”

Why keep someone like this in the company? Especially in a position like CEO Secretary where she has constant Iccess to confidential files!”

The directors spoke one after another, giving Mia no chance to explain. They went straight to criticizing and entencing her. A room full of directors, gathered just to tear down a single secretary. It was like using a ledgehammer to crack a nut.

Mia figured Miranda Hale was pulling the strings behind the scenes, and Ethan was simply letting it happen.

So, what is the board’s solution?” Ethan interrupted the chatter.

The directors looked at Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee spoke carefully. “Ms. Carter holds many of Bayview’s secrets. Given her character, we can’t gamble on her Following her contract and not leaking confidential files. In my opinion, we should demote her to the Logistics Department.”

The difference between the Executive Secretarial Office and the Logistics Department was night and day. Not only would her salary plummet, but it was also the most grueling department in the company.

Over the years, Mia had worked tirelessly as Ethan’s secretary. But these directors didn’t care about her contributions. Because of one word from Miranda Hale, they were willing to trash her entire career.

The final decision-making power still rested with Ethan. After Mr. Lee finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned

to him.

Ethan’s hawk-like eyes sharpened. “Ms. Carter, do you have anything to say?”

‘No,” Mia said without hesitation.

If she couldn’t leave, being further away from Ethan was also an option.

The moment she spoke, the temperature around Ethan plummeted to freezing.
