Watch your tone. Don’t say things you shouldn’t.”
Mia Carter shot a sidelong glance at Lila Hale.
Lila immediately corrected herself. “I mean, Mr. Hale.”
‘I wasn’t talking about his title.” Mia gave her a look, letting her figure out the rest.
Lila stuck her tongue out. “Who’s going to figure out from two sentences that my brother was once married to you and slept with you?”
Mia: “…”
The elevator doors opened with a ‘ding”.
Standing outside was Ethan Hale, one hand shoved in his pocket.
He arched an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the two women in the elevator.
Ethan… Mr. Hale.” Lila stumbled over her words. “I’m the new PR Manager, Lila Hale.”
Mia felt her scalp go numb under Ethan’s scrutinizing gaze.
Mr. Hale.”
Ethan let out a noncommittal grunt and stepped into the elevator.
Mia and Lila scrambled out, heads down as they hurried away.
No idle chat during work hours.”
Ethan’s voice drifted out just as the elevator doors slowly slid shut.
The two of them froze in their tracks.
Mia couldn’t help but close her eyes, not wanting to relive the awkwardness of the moment.
ila looked back, but all she saw were the closed doors.
She let out a breath of relief. “My brother heard us, didn’t he?”
Stop talking and let’s go.” Mia didn’t want to continue the topic and headed toward the conference room.
It’s fine. I’m the one who said it. Even if my brother is mad, he’ll be mad at me.”
Lila hurried to keep up. “He wouldn’t actually think you’d be discussing him with me in private, would he?”
Mia had no idea what Ethan was thinking.
She only knew that the moment the elevator doors opened, the look Ethan gave her was different from his usual expression.
Shut up. Meeting time.”
Mia dropped her bag in her office and led Lila into the conference room.

Aside from a look of defiance on his face, Winston Henderson didn’t cause any trouble.
The meeting went smoothly. Afterward, Lila slipped into Mia’s office to slack off.
My brother being sick… thanks for taking care of him.”
Mia shook her head. “It was the right thing to do. He’s my boss, and he came here specifically to support me.”
Over the last few days, Mia had finally become certain: Ethan really had come to Everett just to back her up.
He had traveled thousands of miles and even gotten sick for her.
Mia suddenly felt a wave of guilt. She had been so hesitant to help him when he was unwell.
