I have a meeting to get to. You do your thing. And tell your boss that if he books my hotel, I’m charging him a ten

>ercent markup.”

axon Rivers stood up, straightened his suit, and gestured for her to leave.

The sense of unease in Mia Carter’s heart deepened. She stood and followed him. “Jaxon, an engagement isn’t a jame. You can’t be joking about this!”

What gave her a headache was that Chloe Bennett always found a way to blame her for everything, good or bad. If his engagement fell through, Mia was terrified her plan to leave wouldn’t go smoothly either!

Oh, look at the time!” Jaxon checked his watch, his pace quickening as he hurried toward the exit. “I’m going to be ate for my interview!”

He strode ahead while Mia chased after him. When they reached the elevator, his bodyguards stepped in to block

ier path.

Jaxon!” Mia looked at him, her expression dead serious.

I need to review my notes.” Jaxon held up a stack of documents, feigning intense focus. “I have to memorize hese. It’s a live broadcast; I can’t afford any slip-ups.”

Mia watched helplessly as the elevator doors slid shut. Just before they closed completely, Jaxon shot her a wild, lefiant grin.

But she still wanted to be difficult. “You’re responsible for the hotels until the end. Film the other two, then we’ll

alk.”

If you hadn’t ignored my calls earlier, I would have finished already. If you want Chloe to know you’re the reason he schedule is lagging, keep talking nonsense.”

Mia hung up immediately and blocked Zoe’s number.

She waited at the hotel entrance for a while, hoping to corner Jaxon. As it turned out, Jaxon had predicted this; he slipped out through the back exit as soon as the interview was over.

She tried calling him, but he didn’t pick up. Instead, he sent her a WhatsApp message.

[I think you should be happy.]

He was implying that if Ethan didn’t marry Chloe, he would have to take responsibility for Mia and the baby.

But that wasn’t what Mia wanted.

She just wanted Ethan and Chloe to get engaged smoothly so she could make a clean break. That was the only way veryone would be happy!

Having stayed up all night, Mia was physically and mentally drained. Her head hung low, her expression bleak as he walked out of the hotel and hailed a taxi home.

Ethan’s phone was buzzing non-stop.

t was a barrage of messages from Jaxon, sent from a new number.

My heart bleeds to think of such a beauty being shut out in the cold!]

Ethan, one day, you’re going to regret this!]

Along with the texts, he sent several photos of Mia.
