Chloe breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he hadn’t realized it was Zoe.

‘Then we’re going to try on the outfits today. And the invitation styles-I’ve already finalized those…”

She went on, detailing every minor arrangement to him.

In response, Ethan gave her another “as you wish.”

No matter how slow Chloe was, she could tell Ethan’s mood was incredibly low. The pressure radiating from him was so heavy that she felt a chill just standing near him.

‘Ethan, do you… do you not want to get engaged to me?”

Ethan picked up his phone and deleted all the messages and photos.

When he looked up at Chloe, his furrowed brow smoothed out.

No. I’m just busy with work. You’ll have to handle the engagement details yourself. Do whatever you want. Have whoever you want handle it.”

Chloe suddenly felt like she wasn’t just the future Mrs. Hale in name only! She had real power now!

She immediately headed downstairs to the Logistics Department to bark out orders. She officially appointed Zoe is the new lead of Group 16, giving her full authority over the engagement preparations and stripping Mia of her

itle.

Zoe was a mess of emotions-overjoyed at the promotion and the chance to be Mia’s boss, but panicked because he had zero experience managing people or organizing an event of this scale.

Relax. You just do whatever I tell you to do. Follow me, and you’ll get your rewards,” Chloe assured her.

Chloe knew Zoe was incompetent. But she needed a loyal pawn-someone she could point at a target and watch

hem strike!

Ms. Bennett, I knew I followed the right person!” Zoe started brown nosing immediately. “Don’t you worry. From now on, I’ll go through fire and water for you!”

That won’t be necessary.” Chloe stared at Mia’s empty desk. “Just make sure Mia understands exactly who the real

Mrs. Hale is.”

Zoe didn’t ask why Chloe had such a grudge against Mia. She had already tasted the sweetness of power. She

odded vigorously. “Consider it done…”

Mia slept the entire day, but it was a fitful, feverish sleep. She woke up with a chill running down her spine.

The sense of dread was still there. She grabbed her phone and looked at the messages she’d received from Jaxon. Finally, she tapped out a reply, one word at a time.

I’m just a pawn in your hands. Whether I’m happy or not doesn’t matter. As long as your conscience is clear, Mr. Rivers.]

Jaxon usually seemed heartless, but he was actually soft-hearted. When he saw Mia’s message, he deleted it instantly, afraid that if he looked at it again, he wouldn’t be able to go through with his plan!

The next morning at 9:00 AM, Mia arrived at the office on time.

The moment she stepped into the Logistics Department, Tyler Evans drifted over like a ghost. “It’s over,” he whispered. “You’ve been removed from your position.”

“I see.” Mia’s eyes remained flat and indifferent.

She had guessed that skipping work yesterday would have consequences. However, this “punishment” wasn’t necessarily a bad thing in her eyes.

But when she saw Zoe sitting in the lead’s chair, she took a sharp breath and walked over.

‘Mia, let me introduce myself. As of yesterday, I am the new lead of Group 16. From now on, you will call me Ms.

Parker.”

Zoe spun

her chair around to face Mia, her chin tilted high to look down on her.

‘Ms. Parker,” Mia said, her voice level.

‘Your desk is over there. There are hundreds of engagement invitations on the table. You’re responsible for writing them all. And make sure your handwriting is neat.”

Zoe pointed to a corner where a crate full of red invitations sat.

Mia walked over, picked up an invitation, and opened it.

‘Fiancé: Ethan Hale.*

‘Fiancée: Chloe Bennett.*

She had to write their names on every single one.

Mia had once fantasized countless times about Ethan giving her a grand wedding. She had dreamed of personally writing their names on their own wedding invitations.

Unfortunately, she had waited years and never received a title.

Now, she had to wait until she was writing his name next to another woman’s on an engagement invite.

Her eyes flickered with a complex swirl of emotions. She stared at the paper for a long time before sitting down and, stroke by stroke, began writing the names of Ethan Hale and Chloe Bennett.
