Mia hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the meeting room. She returned to her desk to grab her bag and turned toward the elevator.
As she passed Ethan, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
His fingers were long and lean, the veins on the back of his hand clearly visible. He gripped her wrist so tightly that
his knuckles turned white from the force.
‘Once you’re transferred, you’ll have no utility left for Jaxon Rivers. How do you think he’ll treat you then?”
Mia figured Jaxon would probably be pulling his hair out in frustration once he heard the news. Now that she was further away from Ethan, Jaxon wouldn’t have a front-row seat to the drama anymore.
Mr. Hale, you needn’t worry about me. How he treats me is my business.”
Mia pushed his hand away. Her soft, slender fingers brushed against the back of his hand, and her warmth seeped hrough his skin.
For a split second, that touch felt searingly hot, as if it were burning straight into Ethan’s heart. His heart skipped a
beat for no reason.
As his hand was pushed aside, Mia lowered her head slightly and walked away.
Since it was the weekend, there weren’t many people in the office, but the news of Mia’s impending transfer to he Logistics Department spread like wildfire. Before she could even get from the office to her apartment, she was icked out of the main Executive Secretarial Office group chat on WhatsApp.
Then came the removal from all the active project groups.
Stella Lewis saw the notifications and immediately called her.
What does Mrs. Ford’s opinion of Chloe have to do with you?! You aren’t the type to gossip behind people’s >acks. Neither the Chief Secretary nor I believe it. What on earth happened?”
They all believed in Mia, yet she was the one being punished. There had to be an inside story they didn’t know.
I’ve spent too many years using my brain. It’ll be good to do some physical labor for a change,” Mia said with a ight chuckle, trying to comfort her friend instead. “Don’t be sad for me. I accept the punishment.”
Hearing her say that, Stella nearly burst into tears.
Do
you
know what people are saying about you behind your back? That damn Zoe Parker made a fake account to oin the company group chat and has been spreading rumors like crazy. She’s saying you tried to come between Mr. Hale and Chloe, and that you intentionally poisoned Mrs. Ford’s mind. The demotion is one thing, but your reputation is at stake!”
Similar rumors had floated around before, but because Mia and Ethan had always been strictly professional over he years, those whispers had died down quickly. This time, with Mrs. Ford’s public comment added to the mix, everyone actually believed it.
‘My reputation doesn’t matter either.” Mia was already on her phone, researching the duties of the Logistics Department.

To put it nicely, it was the department for support services. To put it bluntly, it was for gophers and manual labor. It would certainly be exhausting. Mia’s only concern was whether it would affect her
pregnancy.
The official transfer order hadn’t been issued yet. The next morning, Mia went to her desk on the top floor to pack her things.
The Human Resources Department staff started work at 9:30 AM. After processing the transfer plan and updating her employment contract, they brought it to Mia to sign. By the time it was ready to be sent to the Logistics Department, the entire morning had passed.
