Chapter 108

Mia’s voice was low. “It’s a standard job rotation.”

From CEO Secretary to Logistics clerk? What kind of company considered that a “standard rotation”?

I don’t believe that.” Evelyn turned back to look at Marcus.

She looked at Marcus, but the question was clearly aimed at Ethan.

Marcus gave Evelyn a helpless look before turning to Ethan. “Mr. Hale, my wife is a bit impulsive, but she really ikes Ms. Carter. I hope you don’t mind.”

Ethan stood there, his expression unreadable. “I don’t.”

She likes Ms. Carter?*

Chloe’s smile nearly shattered. She had spent the whole morning getting ready to pick up this woman who had Iragged her through the mud in the headlines.

The moment Evelyn had seen her, the first thing she’d asked was, “Where’s Ms. Carter?”

Chloe had been fuming, forced to maintain a fake smile and play the perfect hostess. Her patience was long gone. Now, running into Mia here, she was certain Mia had planned this to get Evelyn’s attention.

Mrs. Ford, she’s just an employee. Besides, she’s the one who tried to sabotage our relationship. Let’s just go; don’t vorry about her.”

Chloe stepped forward and grabbed Evelyn’s arm, trying to pull her toward the office.

Evelyn dug in her heels, refusing to budge. “What do you mean? I’m the one who said the wrong things to the nedia and caused a scene. How does that translate to her sabotaging us?”

Employees from the Executive Secretarial Office were constantly coming and going, all of them glancing over at

he scene.

Marcus walked to Evelyn’s side and whispered a persuasion. “Let’s talk inside. Don’t keep Mr. Hale waiting. We’re uests here, dear. Behave.”

When have I not behaved?” Evelyn pushed Marcus’s hand off her arm. “If it weren’t for Mia, I wouldn’t have

othered coming to Northbrook at all. And now, while we’re all here celebrating a deal, she’s getting demoted? What kind of nonsense is this?”

Evelyn didn’t lower her voice at all, drawing even more curious onlookers to the office door.

Mia felt forced to step in. “Mrs. Ford, this really has nothing to do with you. It’s just an internal company move.”

Is that so, Mr. Hale?” Evelyn pointed the spear directly at Ethan.

Mia was trying to protect Bayview’s reputation and save face for Ethan. Even though Ethan had already sensed something was wrong from Evelyn’s words, this wasn’t the place for this conversation.

Ethan didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said, “Since Mrs. Ford has something to say, why don’t you join us in the office, Mia?”

“What is there to talk about?” The smile vanished from Chloe’s face. “Mrs. Ford, Mia’s transfer is an internal Bayview matter.”

She was subtly telling Evelyn to mind her own business.

Evelyn didn’t even give her a glance. She looked straight at Ethan. “Mr. Hale, although I’d never met Ms. Bennett before today, news of the two of you is everywhere. Just by looking at her, I thought she was too ugly for you. I thought your taste was questionable, and I even discussed this with Mia. But she defended you. She said you and Ms. Bennett were childhood sweethearts and well-matched in social status. She tried to smooth things over for you both, but in the end, she’s the one you’re taking your anger out on? You’re real tough, aren’t you? Why don’t you try coming at me instead?”
