By the time Mia caught a taxi to the first hotel, it was already 10:30 PM.

She started the video call with Zoe, who barked orders, forcing Mia to film everything from the banquet hall to

the hotel’s exterior environment.

‘Fine. Next one.”

Zoe was intentionally exhausting her, acting completely dismissive.

Mia took a taxi to the next location. Along the way, news of Ethan and Chloe’s engagement kept hitting the top the trending topics, with headlines constantly updating.

Driven by some strange impulse, Mia clicked through them one by one. The articles were filled with words describing luxury and romance, but to her eyes, they were like thorns.

They stung her eyes and pierced her heart.

nside the taxi, the radio was on a loop, broadcasting news of the engagement.

Mia leaned her head against the window. The wind blowing through the crack in the glass whipped against her orehead, but it did nothing to settle the chaotic mess in her mind.

she visited two more hotels. By the time she reached the third, it was already past 3:00 AM.

she hadn’t hit her limit yet, but Zoe had. Zoe didn’t pick up after two video call attempts.

Jaxon nodded and pointed to the floor beneath them. “This place is Riverside territory.”

“Oh.” Mia remembered now; this hotel was a subsidiary of the Riverside Corporation.

She gave Jaxon an apologetic smile. “I’m here to check out the banquet hall for Mr. Hale and Ms. Bennett’s engagement.”

Jaxon’s face fell instantly. “I thought you’d changed your mind after being demoted to logistics and were coming to jump ship to my company!”

He had an interview scheduled for early this morning at this very hotel.

When he arrived and saw Mia in the lounge, he had assumed she had come early to wait for him. Who would have thought-

‘By the way, is Ethan really going to get engaged to Chloe Bennett?”

‘Of course,” Mia nodded.

Jaxon stared at her. “And you’re the one organizing the engagement party for them?”

Mia nodded again.

‘Then the child in your belly really won’t have a father.” Jaxon’s gaze swept over her stomach.

Mia instinctively looked around. Fortunately, they were the only two in the lounge.
