But now…
His thin lips pressed together, a faint sense of discomfort stirring in his heart.
‘A great man is a generous one. What’s so hard about tolerating that Rivers boy? He’s a bit of a brat, but his character isn’t bad. He’s bounced around in front of you for years, but he’s never actually caused you any real losses…”
Grandma Hale continued her relentless persuasion.
Finally, Ethan ended the topic with a curt, I’ll consider it.”
Grandma Hale left Ethan’s office. When she walked out, Mia had finished the meeting and returned to her desk.
‘Grandma?”
Mia saw her coming out of Ethan’s office, quickly set down her files, and walked over.
Mia.” Grandma Hale gave her a motherly smile. “Are you tired?”
Not at all.” Mia shook her head. “Did you have business with the company?”
The moment Grandma Hale saw her, she couldn’t stop smiling. “I just came for a walk. I was bored and wanted to see you. Have you thought over what I mentioned last time?”
Reminded, Mia remembered the offer to become her god-granddaughter.
The idea was so absurd and had come so suddenly that Mia had assumed it was just a whim. She figured once the nitial excitement passed, the matter would be dropped.
Who knew Grandma Hale would bring it up again?
Grandma, it really won’t work.”
Grandma Hale’s eyes flickered, and she sat down in Mia’s chair.
Actually, Grandma just wants to find you a good family.”
f she were connected to the Hale family, Mia’s status would skyrocket. Forget about marrying some random rich heir-if Grandma Hale backed her up enough, she could have her pick of every wealthy bachelor in Northbrook.
Even though she had been married, it was a secret marriage that no one knew about. Mia was beautiful, capable, and beloved by the Hale family. Any elite family looking to align with the Hales would be dying to marry her.
Mia knew exactly what Grandma Hale was trying to do. “Grandma, I’m… not considering those things right now.”
‘Fine, we won’t consider them yet.” Grandma Hale changed the subject. “But if you have any trouble at work, you tell me. I’ll settle it for you.”
Grandma Hale’s constant stream of concern sent a warm wave of emotion through Mia’s heart.
As they were chatting, Ethan’s office door suddenly swung open.
Mia instinctively straightened her back, her expression turning cold and professional.

What are you afraid of him for?” Grandma Hale shot Ethan a glare. “Does my word count or not?”
Ethan’s thin lips parted as he uttered a single word: “It counts.”
His gaze, however, was fixed on Mia, making her feel like needles were pricking her skin.
Grandma, Mr. Hale has another meeting in a moment.”
Mia checked the time; the meeting was in ten minutes.
Grandma Hale stood up shakily. “You two get to work. Remember, you can tell me anything. Call me…”
Mia escorted Grandma Hale to the elevator and then hurried back to grab her things and follow Ethan to the
neeting.
Although Mia’s return had been quiet, the undercurrents among the employees were turbulent.
