Chapter 359

Ethan Hale’s fingers paused over the keyboard.

His sharp gaze snapped toward Mia Carter.

Mia could have sworn she had only mentioned it in passing, but to Ethan’s ears, it sounded like she couldn’t wait to kick him back to Northbrook.

‘Mia, I’ve never seen anyone burn bridges as fast as you do.”

Mia shook her head quickly. “I’m just worried that being here is delaying your work.”

Ethan leaned back against his chair, his eyes fixed intently on her. “Don’t worry. I don’t need you to take care of ne today.”

Mia admitted to herself that she wanted him gone. But she wasn’t wrong-handling Northbrook’s business remotely from Everett was inherently slow.

That’s good. I hope you take care of your health, Mr. Hale. We wouldn’t want another emergency.”

She narrowed her eyes and gave him a faint, polite smile. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

Ethan found that courtesy smile of hers painfully fake.

The moment she stepped out of his office, Mia’s smile vanished. She rubbed her sore cheeks, took a small breath, and returned to her own desk.

ust as work started in the afternoon, Stella Lewis came in with a folder.

Ms. Carter, this is the new Public Relations Manager transferred from headquarters. Take a look.”

Transferred from HQ?” Mia asked, surprised. She took the resume and opened it.

It’s an internal promotion for someone already at the company, not the actual PR manager from Northbrook,” Stella explained, leaning over. “Take a look and see who it is. Do know them?”

Stella had heard it was a promotion, but she didn’t know the specifics.

Mia pulled out the resume, and her eyes widened in shock.

‘Lila Hale.

‘Lila Hale?” Stella saw the name as well. She let out a soft hiss. “Is there actually someone with that name? How

come I don’t remember her?”

Lila had kept an incredibly low profile at the company. After all, there weren’t many people named Hale in Northbrook, and she had been terrified that people would connect her to Ethan.

“Is she here?”

“She just dropped off her paperwork and left. HR has her scheduled to report for duty tomorrow morning.”

Stella thought for a moment. “I only saw her from behind, but she looked pretty young.”

Go back to your work,” Mia said.

She picked up her phone, preparing to message Lila.

Stella set down a red invitation on the desk. “The Gallaghers are celebrating their wedding anniversary and invited you. Here’s the invite.”

When is it?” Mia asked.

Tomorrow night,” Stella replied. “Did you ever send that gift you bought for Mrs. Gallagher?”
