Chapter 325

It had been a week since Mia Carter left for Everett.

It had only been seven days, yet for Ethan Hale, it felt like half a century.

Looking at her through the screen, he felt a strange sense of displacement, as if they were in two completely

different worlds.

His Adam’s apple bobbed. His voice was deep and low. “I suddenly regret letting you go to Everett.”

Mia’s lips parted slightly. Seeing the intense depth in his eyes, she suddenly found herself speechless.

Ethan watched her for a few seconds before reaching for a cigarette on the desk and lighting it.

A cloud of smoke rose, shrouding his handsome face.

The situation in Everett is more complicated than I anticipated,” he said, his voice raspy. “I’m afraid it’s too much for you to handle.”

Mia cleared her throat and spoke slowly.

Don’t worry, Mr. Hale. I’ll ensure my own safety. As for the recent incident, I will provide an explanation to the

Board of Directors-”

As the current General Manager of the branch, she was required to report any significant developments to the

Board.

No need. I’ll handle the Board,” Ethan interrupted.

He took the cigarette from his lips, exhaling a plume of smoke.

He toyed with a lighter in his other hand, appearing loose and relaxed. Yet the aura of absolute authority radiating ‘rom him remained unshakable.

I’ll send someone to help you as soon as possible.”

The position of Deputy General Manager at the branch was still vacant. It would be best to have someone there to help Mia deal with unexpected situations.

Mia nodded. “Okay.”

After that, silence fell.

The video call continued, appearing normal on the surface. But beneath the silence, both of them had subtle novements that betrayed a underlying tension.

Finally, Mia broke the silence. “Mr. Hale, let’s continue the meeting.”

She didn’t feel like those few sentences required everyone else to leave the room.

Ethan let out a noncommittal hum. He flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, “Take good care of yourself.”

Before Mia could respond, he looked toward the door. “Leo.”

The conference room door opened immediately. Leo Martinez led the executives back into the room.

The meeting dragged on. By the time it ended, night had already fallen.

The moment the call disconnected, the man’s face vanished from the screen.

Mia sat in her chair for a few seconds before standing up to pack her briefcase and leave.

Meanwhile, back in Northbrook, Ethan remained in the conference room for a long time.

He didn’t move until Leo came in to remind him. “Mr. Hale, your appointment with Mr. Vance is at seven. If we lon’t leave now, we’ll be late.”

I know.” Ethan stood up, fastened his cufflinks, and strode out.

t was evening rush hour, and the roads were congested. By the time they reached their destination, it was a few

ninutes past seven.

Richard Vance had arrived early. Instead of going inside, he was waiting at the restaurant entrance.

When he saw Ethan’s car pull up, he immediately rushed forward to open the door.

Mr. Hale.”

Ethan adjusted his blazer and stepped out of the car, glancing at him. “You don’t need to be so formal, Mr. Vance.”

Richard bowed and scraped, appearing even more respectful than usual.

It’s no trouble at all. It’s my honor to be personally invited by you, Mr. Hale.”

He followed Ethan into the restaurant, a thin layer of cold sweat perpetually on his forehead.

A moment later, they were seated in a private room.

After the order was placed, the server brought out the drinks.

Richard immediately stood up to pour a glass for Ethan.

However, Ethan took the bottle himself. “Don’t bother, Mr. Vance. I’m actually here to ask a favor today.”

Mr… Mr. Hale, you must be joking,” Richard said instinctively upon hearing the word “favor”. “What could I >ossibly help you with?”

I want someone from your company,” Ethan said, pouring a drink for Richard.
