Chapter 360

Before she could pull her hand away, her wrist was suddenly clamped by his hand.

Her breath hitched. She looked down into Ethan’s eyes as they snapped open, still clouded with the remnants of sleep.

‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you. I thought you were unwell again.”

Mia lowered her voice, gently twisting her wrist to try and break his grip.

Ethan loosened his hold and propped himself up. “I’m fine.”

‘Why didn’t you eat?” Mia asked.

‘Don’t worry,” Ethan replied. “I took the medicine.”

Mia was speechless. The doctor had specifically instructed that the medicine shouldn’t be taken on an empty stomach. Taking it without food was arguably worse than not taking it at all.

She wanted to say more, but looking into his deep, dark gaze, her throat tightened. She swallowed her concern.

The Gallaghers sent an invitation for their wedding anniversary. It’s tomorrow night. Are you going?”

Building a relationship with the Gallaghers will be good for your position here,” Ethan said concisely. “You’re coming with me.”

Alright. Also, Lila Hale is in Everett. She’s been transferred as the branch’s Public Relations Manager.”

Grandpa Hale had orchestrated the transfer personally. Ethan only found out now that she had already arrived.

She lacks experience. Technically, she shouldn’t have this position, but given the special circumstances here, oyalty is more important than ability.”

I’ll look after her,” Mia said instinctively.

The moment the words left her mouth, Ethan raised his eyelids and looked at her.

She quickly clarified, “I mean… even if it were someone else, I would still look after them.”

Is that so?” Ethan said. The way he trailed off made the two words feel heavy with meaning.

Yes. I won’t disturb your rest any further. I’m going back to work.”

Mia turned to leave. Her loose clothing made her look less sharp and commanding than usual.

Ethan tugged at his tie, an unidentifiable feeling churning in his chest.

The sudden ring of his phone pulled him out of his thoughts. It was Leo Martinez.

He picked up. “Mr. Hale, I’ve sent an urgent file to your email that needs handling.”

‘Got it,” Ethan rasped, walking out of the lounge.

‘Has the CEO of Vanguard been bothering you lately?” Leo asked.

‘Richard Vance?”

Aside from the time Ethan had wanted to hire lan Reed and Richard had refused to let him go, they had almost no nteraction. Ethan hadn’t taken that small matter to heart.

Get to the point.”

Leo let out a breath. “I ran into Richard at a gala yesterday. He asked me to send his regards and said he hopes ›rivate matters won’t affect the partnership.”
