Zoe Parker immediately flashed a sycophantic smile and scurried over to Chloe Bennett’s side.
Ms. Bennett, if you wanted to know the details for the engagement party, you could have just had Mia Carter come upstairs to report to you. Why bother coming all the way down here? It’s such a hassle!”
The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Zoe’s arrogance was on full display, looking like a general who had ust won a war. Mia, who hadn’t said a word, looked like a defeated soldier at their mercy.
Chloe felt a surge of pure satisfaction!
The corners of her mouth curled upward, a smile she couldn’t suppress. she shot Zoe a look. “It’s no trouble at all.”
Zoe immediately grabbed all the prepared documents and brought them over. “Mr. Hale, Ms. Bennett, here are all he materials for you to choose from. Please, have a look.”
Ethan,” Chloe said, taking the files and looking at Ethan Hale.
You decide,” Ethan said tonelessly. His dark eyes flickered toward Mia for a split second, seemingly by accident.
Chloe found a place to sit and opened the folder, flipping through the hotel options.
Ms. Bennett, I suggest letting Mia visit the banquet halls of every single one of these hotels. Ideally tonight, since ime is so tight,” Zoe suggested, leaning in close to Chloe with a flattering grin.
Chloe let out a soft “Oh,” feigning a kind, understanding heart. “That doesn’t seem right. It’s already so late.”
There’s nothing wrong with it! Mr. Hale pays her salary. Whatever you two say, she has to do!” Zoe sneered, hooting a pointed glance at Mia.
Mia remained standing where she was, motionless.
The faint scent of sandalwood from the man permeated the air around her. She kept her gaze lowered, staring at he man’s perfectly tailored, straight legs.
Ethan stood by the window, lit a cigarette, and took a slow drag. Through the thin veil of smoke, his deep gaze
urned toward Chloe.
Mia couldn’t read the emotions in his eyes, but she assumed they were full of softness and indulgence.
Mia, Chloe said, looking up at her. “I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip in person, then.”
The candidate hotels were scattered across every corner of Northbrook. If she had to visit them all personally, she wouldn’t be getting any sleep tonight.
In the quiet office, the looks on Chloe’s and Zoe’s faces made the air feel increasingly thin.
Mia’s lips twitched into a faint, dry smile. “Fine.”
Seeing her agree so “readily,” Zoe’s eyes rolled as she thought of something else. “Ms. Bennett, I propose that every ime Mia reaches a hotel, she has to initiate a video call with you. You can tell her exactly what you want to see, and she can film it.”
This was to prevent Mia from slacking off or asking the hotel staff to take photos for her.

No,” Chloe said, glancing in Ethan’s direction. “Ethan has been working all day. Taking video calls would disturb
is rest.”
Ethan had walked to the end of the hallway, standing by a half-open window to catch the breeze. The flickering low of his cigarette illuminated the blurred contours of his profile.
Mia didn’t pay attention to what Chloe and Zoe were discussing.
She only knew that in the end, Chloe decided Mia should send a video report to Zoe at every hotel she visited.
Mia.” Chloe walked up to her, her face glowing with joy and triumph. “Ethan and I are getting engaged. Do you have nothing to say?”
Footsteps sounded from the end of the hallway, growing closer until they stopped behind Mia,
An intense gaze fell upon her; she didn’t even need to turn around to know it was him.
Congratulations to Mr. Hale and Ms. Bennett. I wish you a lifetime of happiness and harmony.”
