Chapter 215
Mia Carter’s breath hitched. She forced herself to explain, “I simply thought your marriage to Chloe was more
important.”
As Ethan Hale’s secretary, she had the authority to reasonably adjust his schedule. In the past, Ethan had never questioned her decisions.
Who would have thought that this time-
‘Change it back. Follow the original flow,” Ethan said, his voice leaving no room for argument.
His dissatisfaction was palpable, an invisible wall of pressure closing in on her.
Understood.”
Mia pulled out her phone and modified the digital itinerary right in front of him. The dinner with the Bennett
amily was rescheduled for a week from tonight.
She stepped out of the office, updated the physical copy of the schedule, and brought it back to Ethan.
When Miranda Hale found out about the change, she called Mia immediately, launching into a tirade of abuse.
Mia stayed silent, letting her scream until she had exhausted herself. Finally, she spoke up. “The schedule was irranged by Mr. Hale himself.

But let me correct you on one thing: I do not have the ‘improper designs’ on Mr. Hale that you keep Iccusing me of.”
Her explanation was clear and composed, which only made Miranda even more furious. Yet, Miranda found herself unable to find a single word to fire back.
Forget the fact that we’re divorced now. Even when we were married, I never had any feelings for Mr. Hale. Please show some self-respect in the future, Ms. Hale.”

She tossed her phone aside and was about to bury herself back in her work when she realized the office door was
wide open.

Mia’s eyes were clear, as deep and transparent as a mountain spring.
The words she had just spoken were firm and resolute, hitting Ethan’s heart like a barrage of small pebbles. It didn’t hurt, but it felt miserable.
Mia met his gaze for a few seconds before lowering her head to continue her tasks. But she could feel it—his gaze was still lingering on her.
After a long time, the weight of his stare vanished, and he returned to his office.
Mia’s tense body finally relaxed.
Although Ethan hadn’t said a word, she could clearly feel his dissatisfaction bleeding into their professional

At 3:00 PM, Nina Torres sent her a message with a link to a news story about a medical malpractice scandal.
‘Isn’t this the new doctor you just switched to?*
Mia clicked the link. It was indeed Dr. Clark, the doctor she had just met once.
Ten years ago, Dr. Clark had supposedly been negligent during a prenatal checkup. She had failed to detect a severe limb deformity, resulting in the birth of a disabled child. The story had just been leaked.
Under immense public pressure, the hospital had fired Dr. Clark.
Nina: *This happened ten years ago. She must have offended someone for this to be dragged up now.”
Mia: So, I have to switch doctors again?”
Nina: Just wait for the hospital to notify you.*
