Chloe scanned the ballroom for Richard Vance. “Mr. Vance brought two people with him. Which one is the one dating Secretary Carter?”

Ethan’s gaze landed unerringly on lan Reed. But he simply said, “Is that so? I’m not sure.”

He began walking toward the exit.

“The whole company is talking about it. Ethan, how could you not know?”

Chloe hurried to keep up with him. But no matter what she said, Ethan only responded in short, detached phrases.

“I don’t know.” “I’m not sure.” “Is that so?”

A few minutes later, they were in the car. Mia started the engine and pulled into the flow of traffic.

The interior of the car was silent. The faint scent of tobacco and alcohol clung to Ethan, gradually filling the space. He sat by the window, his gaze fixed on the night scenery flying past.

“Secretary Carter.”

Chloe was the first to break the silence.

Mia looked in the rearview mirror. “Ms. Bennett, is something wrong?”

‘I heard you’re dating someone from Vanguard. Is it true?”

Chloe watched Ethan’s expression out of the corner of her eye. Mia hadn’t expected her to ask such a personal question. Seeing her covertly checking Ethan’s reaction, Mia mused for a moment before saying, “We haven’t reached that stage yet.”

The ambiguous answer sounded like a denial to Chloe. “You mean, you’re just not ready to go public yet?”

At a red light, Mia stepped on the brakes. The seconds ticked by. Just before the light turned green, Mia let out a single syllable from her throat. “Mm.”

Having received the answer she wanted, Chloe smiled with satisfaction. “I saw him earlier. He’s quite handsome.”

Ethan remained silent, but a suffocating, oppressive aura began to spread through the car.

Chloe didn’t notice it.

But Mia felt as if the air was being sucked out of the space, making it difficult to breathe. She echoed Chloe’s

words. “Is that so?”

‘Of course.” Chloe laughed and looked at Ethan. “Though, of course, he’s not as handsome as Ethan.”

Mia nodded. “True. He can’t be compared to Mr. Hale.”

Ethan’s expression didn’t reveal his emotions. He continued to stare out the window, showing no reaction to their conversation. Chloe felt a bit slighted; she could tell Mia was just humoring her in a professional manner, and Ethan was completely ignoring her.

As Chloe fell silent, the atmosphere in the car became even more still.

Two hours later, Mia returned home, showered, and went to bed. She didn’t take Chloe’s probing to heart.

What she didn’t expect was that after Chloe got home, she posted a photo of lan Reed in the company group, telling everyone he was Mia’s boyfriend.

WhatsApp

The group chat exploded. Hundreds of messages flooded in, discussing whether Mia and lan were a good match. Of course, everyone agreed they were.

Early the next morning, Mia opened WhatsApp. The first thing she saw was a message from Ruby Foster.

Are you dating lan? Why didn’t you tell me something this big!? Didn’t you say you already had someone in your heart last time?]

I knew it. That excuse was just to brush me off, wasn’t it? Did Ian win you over in just a few days?]

Mia stared at the messages, completely confused. Then she opened the work group where she had been tagged nultiple times. She quickly found the topic Chloe had started the night before about her dating Ian Reed.

There was even a photo of Ian.

Chloe had taken Mia’s ambiguous answer and automatically translated it into the idea that they were already ogether and just waiting to go public.

Everyone should learn from Secretary Carter. Don’t be so secretive about your relationships. Ethan is very >pen-minded. When Secretary Carter
