Mr. Hale and Ms. Bennett really do have a wonderful relationship.” Jaxon turned to Mia. “Secretary Carter, have you ever seen your Mr. Hale be this attentive?”

Mia remained standing, looking for a graceful exit. Suddenly called out, she forced a smile and shook her head. “I haven’t. It’s only natural that Mr. Hale and Ms. Bennett are so close.”

‘Is it?” Jaxon hinted vaguely. “I don’t believe it. I find it hard to believe Mr. Hale has never done a single thing to betray Ms. Bennett.”

Mia: “…”

Of course not.” Chloe clung to Ethan’s arm, a sweet smile on her face. “Ethan is a man of his word. Since he’s with me, he would never betray me.”

Inexplicably, Mia’s mind flashed back to that kiss-or rather, the incident where Ethan had sucked on her neck so Fiercely he left a hickey. Did that count as betraying Chloe? Even if there was no emotion behind it, there was a physical crossing of lines.

Eat first before it gets cold.”

Ethan had practically piled a mountain of food in Chloe’s bowl. He was oblivious to the world around them, his eyes only for Chloe.

Chloe nodded, taking small, dainty bites, pampered to the extreme. Mia looked down, her long lashes casting hadows on her cheeks, hiding the flicker of gloom in her eyes.

Mr. Hale, when are you and Ms. Bennett getting married?” Jaxon was swinging his leg, a wide grin on his face. He was addressing Ethan, but his eyes were locked on Mia.

I’ll let

you

know when the time comes,” Ethan said without looking up.

Marriage, kids, a perfect family of three… how wonderful,” Jaxon said, putting extra weight on the phrase “family

of three.”

Mia’s heart tightened with every word. Her brow furrowed deeper. She was about to say something when Chloe uddenly spoke up.

Ethan… I’ve lost my appetite. I don’t want to eat anymore.”

Chloe, who had been eating with gusto just a second ago, now had a strange expression on her face. She

put

down

her chopsticks, her complexion turning pale.

Ethan shot a murderous look at Jaxon. Jaxon’s smile froze, looking genuinely confused.

‘We won’t eat then. I’ll take you back.”

Ethan stood up and pushed the wheelchair toward the door. As he reached the entrance, he stopped and looked at Mia. “Come to my office this afternoon.”

Mia nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Her clear eyes reflected her confusion as she watched Ethan wheel Chloe away.
