Ethan toyed with a pen between his fingers. His expression was unreadable, but he carried an air of calculated lepth, as if he had expected this.

You can go.”

Kevin turned and left immediately.

After the door closed, the office fell into a dead silence.

Leo Martinez stood by, watching his breath and keeping his eyes on the floor. He didn’t dare make a sound. He vas the only one who knew that Ethan had given Mia a separation agreement. All those extra clauses had been dded by his hand, following Ethan’s direct orders.

The incident at the engagement party-is the investigation finished?” Ethan asked, no longer mentioning Mia.

eo took the hint and didn’t bring her up either. “While we don’t have definitive proof yet, all signs point to Zoe Parker. She used the authority Ms. Bennett gave her to pocket the difference in the budget.”

Chloe Bennett had taken Zoe along when she went to order her gown and shoes. Zoe hadn’t dared touch the nulti-million dollar gown, so she focused on the shoes, which cost several hundred thousand dollars. She had ound a high-quality fake from the same manufacturer online for $30,000. After paying the deposit and nspecting the goods, she threatened to report the seller for selling fakes and ended up paying only $8,000.

nfuriated, the seller had sabotaged the shoes.

Zoe Parker’s character is seriously flawed. Ms. Bennett shouldn’t have stayed in contact with her after she was ired the first time.” Leo added to himself that Chloe had simply been charmed by Zoe’s flattery; she was truly

lim-witted.

Zoe Parker?” The name sounded vaguely familiar to Ethan.

Leo glanced at him and realized he didn’t remember. “You don’t remember her? She was the secretary who helped Ms. Bennett trick you into signing Mia’s separation agreement before.”

Ethan had been the one to fire her, and later, he was the one who relented and let her be hired into the Logistics Department. But Ethan had long since forgotten who she was, and Chloe had exploited that loophole.

‘Look into it thoroughly.” Ethan’s eyes turned as cold as ice. “From now on, Chloe Bennett is not allowed to appoint anyone to this company.”

Leo nodded. He couldn’t help but speak up for Mia. “If Ms. Bennett hadn’t insisted on giving the engagement planning to the Logistics Department, none of this mess would have happened. Mia… is quite innocent in all this.”

Now, everyone in the company believed Mia had sabotaged the engagement. Even if she didn’t leave, it would be difficult for her to stay. Ever since she had been transferred back at the beginning of the year, rumors had hit her wave after wave. Leo admired her; if he were in her shoes, he wouldn’t be able to stay so calm.

“Go deal with your work.” Ethan finished processing his files, grabbed his coat, and stood up. He left the company with long strides.

He was responsible for looking after Chloe during the day.

Leo followed him out. “Mr. Hale, you added so many clauses that it’s unlikely Mia will leave. But the reason she’s taking leave and delaying her response must be because of her position.”

Logistics and Secretary were worlds apart.

Those clauses aren’t the key to her staying or leaving.” Ethan adjusted his cuffs. “What has Jaxon Rivers been up o lately?”
