lan: “A single meal can’t repay your kindness, but it’s the proper thing to do. Please let me know whenever you’re free.”

lan was a decent, polite man who valued etiquette. Mia didn’t reply, simply setting her phone aside and climbing into bed. Exhaustion washed over her, and she fell asleep almost instantly.

The next few days were a blur. She shuttled between the seventeenth floor and the top floor, her schedule so packed she barely had time to breathe.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t because Ethan was making things difficult for her. It was just the natural flow of the workload. In fact, she hadn’t even seen Ethan in three days.

For every meeting, she had Leo Martinez carry a voice recorder. She would summarize the notes later and email them to Ethan. When there were business dinners, Leo was the one who accompanied Ethan.

One afternoon, as Mia went upstairs to find Leo, she was intercepted by Ruby Foster.

‘Secretary Carter, Ian mentioned that you helped find a doctor for his mother?”

Mia nodded. “I happened to know someone.”

Ruby looked incredibly grateful. “I didn’t have any connections and kept hitting dead ends. You really did us a huge favor. Ian asked me to check when you might be free for that dinner.”

There’s really no need. I’m truly busy-you can see that for yourself.”

Mia was running up and down the stairs all day; everyone in the secretarial office could see how swamped she

The entire top floor has a team-building retreat tomorrow at a coastal resort,” Ruby said immediately. “During he free time, I’ll have him come over.”

No-”

It’s settled. I’ll call him right now.” Ruby didn’t give her a chance to refuse, pulling out her phone as she walked lown the hall.

Mia went to chase after her, but Ethan emerged from his office at that exact moment. The familiar scent of the nan hit her, and she froze in her tracks.

‘Mr. Hale.”

‘Mhm,” Ethan grunted indifferently. He walked right past her toward the elevators without a second glance.

Mia’s brow furrowed, and she couldn’t help but steal a glance at his retreating back.

Before, it felt like Ethan was deliberately making her life hard. But now… it felt like Ethan was avoiding her.

Well, not exactly avoiding, but he was certainly ignoring her.

She watched him enter the elevator, then stood in silence for a few seconds before turning toward Leo’s office.

Mia had been the one to organize the team-building retreat. She hadn’t planned on going, but Leo mentioned

that Ethan had a meeting with a major client there. Since both Ethan and Leo would likely be drinking, they

needed Mia there to drive.

So, Mia had to go. She handed over the final itinerary.

Early the next morning, she drove straight to the destination. By 8:00 AM, everyone had arrived at the coastal resort. The entire place had been booked out, and employees were scattered across the beach.

Only Mia stayed in her room, resting lazily and occasionally replying to work messages in the group chat.
