Chapter 207
Mia Carter felt a throbbing pain in her temples. How was she supposed to fix this mess?
he didn’t reply to any of the messages. Instead, she packed her things and headed to work.
When she emerged from the underground garage and stepped into the elevator at the ground floor, several people
iled in.
Good morning, Ms. Carter! Congratulations!”
Ms. Carter, your boyfriend is so handsome.”
You two look so good together! I heard he just came back from studying abroad!”
Everyone in the elevator offered their congratulations. Mia simply gave a faint, polite smile and didn’t bother to xplain.
ihe dropped her bag off on the seventeenth floor and then went up to the executive floor to find Ruby Foster to xplain what had happened the night before.
It’s my fault for not being clear with Ms. Bennett, which led to this massive misunderstanding. It doesn’t matter nuch to me, but I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea, and I certainly don’t want you passing the wrong nformation to lan Reed.”
tuby listened, looking stunned.
Once Mia finished her explanation, the realization hit her. “So, Ms. Bennett did this on purpose because she’s still
ot comfortable with you being around Mr. Hale?”
You could say that.” Mia knew Ruby was sharp enough to catch on quickly.
Ruby looked a bit disappointed. “And here I thought you were actually… sigh. Well, I won’t push it. It’s a good thing hadn’t asked lan about it yet, otherwise I would have given the poor guy false hope for nothing.”
As long as the news didn’t reach lan through Ruby, Ian wouldn’t believe it.
Mia let out a sigh of relief after clearing things up with her. As for the chatter in the company group chat, she hose to ignore it.
The receptionist, however, hadn’t seen the news until she clocked in that morning. She piped up in the chat, nentioning that Ian had been coming by frequently to drop off soup for Mia.
The once-quiet group chat immediately erupted again.
At 10:00 AM, Mia followed Ethan Hale into a meeting.
As she took notes on the side, her phone, which was set to vibrate, kept buzzing. People in the group were constantly tagging her, asking about her and Ian.
Ethan’s gaze flickered toward the laptop screen in front of him, watching the notifications pop up one after another in the group chat.
Seeing that Mia hadn’t responded to any of the tags, another person jumped in: ‘Ms. Carter, come on, give us an
answer!

Ethan’s fingers moved slightly as he sent a message to the group himself.
[Pause the meeting. Let’s clear up everyone’s doubts first.]
The group chat went dead silent instantly.

Ethan had never spoken in the group before; everyone had practically forgotten he was even in it. If they hadn’t, would they have dared to spam the chat so wildly during work hours?
Half an hour later, the meeting ended.
Mia opened the group chat. The first thing she saw was Ethan’s message.
No wonder it had suddenly gone quiet.
She followed his lead and replied to the group: [It’s working hours. Focus on your jobs.]
After that, the group remained peaceful. Mia felt as if the world had finally gone quiet.
‘Don’t let it happen again.”
