Chapter 211
Mia Carter looked at Cole Preston in surprise.
How could a man like Ethan Hale get married without feelings? Unless his marriage to her had been solely out of a sense of responsibility.
As for Cole’s question-
‘If you’re drunk, go home and sleep it off. Stop talking nonsense.”
Ethan avoided the question entirely. He grabbed Cole’s jacket and threw it at his head. “I’m leaving.”
With that, he walked out of the lounge. Mia snapped out of her shock and immediately followed him.
Cole caught the jacket, said a quick goodbye to the others in the room, and hurried after them.
The three of them entered the elevator together.
The lounge had been filled with a suffocating mix of smoke and alcohol, making it hard for Mia to breathe. Both nen smelled like they had been soaking in a vat of liquor.
Mia took two steps back, shrinking into the corner of the elevator.
How long has it been since you started working for Ethan?” Cole leaned against the elevator wall and looked at
Mia.
Ethan looked over at her too. “Five or six years, right?”
Five years and seven months,” Mia replied with a nod.
Then, from your perspective, does your boss have feelings for Chloe Bennett?”
Cole seemed fascinated by the topic.
Ethan’s brow furrowed, his expression souring.
Of course he does,” Mia said.
fearing this, Cole suddenly laughed. “If there were real feelings, why did it take so many years for them to finally
nake it official?”
Mia kept her eyes down, acting as if she hadn’t heard him.
Ethan had no intention of answering either.
The cramped space fell into a deathly silence.
Suddenly, the elevator doors opened with a ‘ding”.
Ethan! Cole!”
Outside the elevator, Chloe Bennett was out of breath.
With her black Hermès bag tucked under her arm, she stepped forward and grabbed Ethan’s arm, pulling him out of the elevator.

Only then did she notice Mia.

However, she didn’t have time for her right now. She looked at Cole with a guarded expression.
Cole, why didn’t you say anything about coming back to the country? You know Ethan and I are getting married, ight? Why did you only invite Ethan to the party and not me?”
Cole stepped out of the elevator, hands in his pockets, looking unbothered.
Men’s gathering. What would a woman be doing there?”
Mia stepped out of the elevator. Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that Cole’s expression had turned
old the moment Chloe arrived.
Chloe stood close to Ethan, creating a barrier between him and Cole. “We’ve all played together for years. Who cares about gender? We’re friends.”
She looked up at Ethan. “Why didn’t you call me?”
It’s late. I didn’t want to disturb your rest,” Ethan explained calmly.
Chloe checked the time. “I’m late, and it looks like everyone is leaving. So… should we all go home?”
Yeah, Ethan agreed. “I’ll take you home.”
