Chapter 295
‘Secretary Carter… oh wait, Ms. Carter, you’re here for the transfer, right?”
Leo Martinez followed behind Ethan Hale. He noticed Mia Carter’s eyes flicker twice.
The first flicker was for her promotion.
The second was the realization that she was finally leaving. Was the crisis finally over?
Mia didn’t step out of the elevator immediately, standing frozen in place.
A few seconds later, the elevator doors began to slide shut automatically.
Snapping back to reality, she quickly pressed the button and stepped out.
Mr. Hale. Mr. Martinez.”
Mia stood before Ethan, glancing down at the transfer order in her hand. “I…”
In my office. We’ll talk there.”
Ethan handed some documents to Leo and turned to enter his office.
eo took the files, shot Mia a meaningful look, and whispered, “As long as Mr. Hale signs that, you can go!”
Ethan would definitely sign it.
Mia nodded and followed him into the office.
The mess from the other day had vanished, replaced by the usual pristine, organized environment.
Ethan leaned against the edge of his desk, pen in hand, waiting for her.
Mr. Hale, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
n the past, even if she felt she didn’t deserve such a high position, Mia would have snatched any chance to leave. But now that Ethan knew about her pregnancy-even if the crisis was still looming-she couldn’t just leave under
uch ambiguous circumstances.
The previous person in charge of Everett… your intended choice was Mr. Henderson’s son.”
Mr. Henderson held significant weight at Bayview Holdings. His son’s abilities were a bit lacking, but his background was solid enough to hold the position.
Mr. Henderson went to Everett a while ago. He took his son to meet several business tycoons behind my back.”
Ethan was concise.
The Southern Headquarters in Everett managed all the southern branches; it was a position that could practically stand on equal footing with Ethan. Once Mr. Henderson’s son had enough connections and resources, any disloyalty would become a massive threat to Ethan.
In fact, the moment Mr. Henderson went behind Ethan’s back to pave the way for his son, that disloyalty had already been exposed.
Mia was stunned. The business world was a battlefield.

It hadn’t been easy for Ethan to reach his current position, and staying there required more than just ability. It required foresight and the elimination of hidden threats.
You’re right, a change is definitely necessary. But I really am not suitable.”
‘I chose you because your background is clean enough,” Ethan said, reaching out his hand toward her. “You are completely my person. Consider this… compensation for the divorce.”
“You are completely my person.’ ‘Compensation for the divorce.”
Those words felt like they were aimed directly at Mia’s weak spots, leaving her unable to argue.
If she took this position, countless people would refuse to respect her. Her only backer would be Ethan, and she would have to rely on him to maintain her authority.
Rather than calling it compensation, it was more of a mutually beneficial arrangement. He trusted her and needed. her to stabilize his “empire.”
Mia looked at his broad, powerful hand. After a moment of silence, she handed over the transfer order.
