His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308

Being a fellow corporate worker, Leo wasn’t asleep either. He replied instantly: “Mr. Hale wants you to report directly to him.”

Mia propped her elbow on the table, looking down at her phone. Her fingers hovered over the screen as she composed a text to Ethan. She sent the names first.

Just as she was typing a second message asking him to investigate them-

Ethan called.

Mia’s hand shook, and the phone dropped onto her lap. She quickly grabbed it, signaled Nina to be quiet, and straightened her posture before answering.

Mr. Hale.”

If there’s something to say, call. I don’t want to read texts.”

It was late at night, and Ethan’s voice was a seductive, low rasp.

Mia replied, “I need you to have Leo investigate these people. They might have ties to the Henderson family.”

The other end went dead silent. For a second, Mia thought the call had dropped. She checked the screen, seeing he timer still running, and wondered if Ethan had fallen asleep.

After a long pause, Ethan’s voice came through again. “That’s it?”

Yes… that’s all.”

From his tone, it sounded like he thought her report was too short-as if he were accusing her of slacking off all

lay.

But being able to accurately identify who was tied to the Hendersons after just a two-hour banquet was a estament to how closely she had been watching everyone. After the whole ordeal, she was physically and mentally

xhausted.

Ethan said, “I heard the weather in Everett is quite nice.”

Huh?” Mia glanced out the window at the pitch-black sky. She instinctively replied, “It is. It’s very dark.”

Seeing Mia’s awkward, disjointed conversation, Nina leaned in close to the phone to eavesdrop.

Are you adjusting well?” Ethan asked.

Hearing those words, Nina’s eyes widened in shock.

Mia frowned slightly. “Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hale.”

Vanguard established a branch in Everett recently,” Ethan said smoothly. “You can have Ian Reed apply for a transfer.”

The topic change was sudden. Mia couldn’t keep up for a moment. “Why would Ian transfer?”

Then she remembered that Ian had pretended to be the father of her child.

‘I’m not settled here yet. We can talk about that later. Don’t worry about it, Mr. Hale.”

The distance in her words made the continued silence of the call feel delicate. It was awkward, yet there was an undeniable, subtle tension in the air.

Ethan didn’t hang up.

Finally, Mia gave in. “Mr. Hale, I have nothing else to report. Please get some rest.”

‘Mhm, the man hummed.
