And that didn’t just apply to work.

“Mr. Hale, while I’m on leave, it’s not appropriate for me to go to the office,” Mia said, choosing her words carefully as they stopped at a red light. “Besides, my resignation is something you can decide with a single word.”

It was a full hour’s drive to the office. It was more than enough time for them to settle the matter of her leaving.

When they had divorced, it hadn’t even been this much of a struggle.

You really want to leave.”

Ethan’s tone was calm, yet it carried an underlying, inexplicable displeasure.

Mia nodded.

The intersection was busy, with pedestrians weaving across the crosswalk. Once the light turned green and traffic began to flow, Mia stepped on the gas.

The road was clear, yet Ethan remained silent for a long time.

It wasn’t until Mia drove into the Bayview underground parking garage and stopped in Ethan’s reserved spot that

ne moved.

He went to open the door, but the handle wouldn’t budge.

His brow knit as he looked back at Mia.

Mr. Hale, you haven’t answered me yet.” Mia hadn’t unlocked the doors.

She really had some nerve, essentially locking Ethan in the car.

Ethan’s brows furrowed even tighter. “And if I don’t agree?”

I’m truly not fit to stay anymore. You wouldn’t want Ms. Bennett to be upset again, would you?”

Mia cleverly used “upset” to pressure him.

If she didn’t leave, Chloe would continue to cause scenes, which would eventually make everyone look bad.

Ethan leaned back into his seat. He was actually amused by her boldness in keeping him locked in.

‘Mia, if I don’t agree, are you planning to never open the door?”

Mia shook her head. “Of course not. I’ll just keep trying to convince you.”

If she couldn’t convince him, she’d just keep talking… otherwise, he’d never get out.

What was the difference between that and never opening the door?

‘Come upstairs with me. I’ll give you a satisfactory answer today.”

Ethan tapped the door lightly, signaling for her to unlock it.

His confident tone didn’t sound like he was planning to let her resign. But his promise of a “satisfactory answer” sparked a flicker of curiosity in Mia.

Did he even know what she wanted?

When Mia finally unlocked the car and followed Ethan up to the top-floor CEO’s office, she realized he had no dea what she wanted.

Ethan placed a transfer order in front of her.

He was transferring her to a branch office as General Manager-the same position she had held for six months, which had remained vacant until now.

If you leave Bayview, you won’t find a better place. You aren’t at fault for what happened; I won’t fire you, and I won’t let you leave.”

For the sake of the company’s reputation, Ethan couldn’t let Mia resign.

If she left voluntarily, outsiders would assume the company had forced her out. That would be bad for business.

So, whether Mia actually wanted to leave or why she wanted to go wasn’t even part of Ethan’s consideration.

A chill ran through Mia’s heart.
