Tm sorry, I’m not feeling well. I can’t drink.”

Mia Carter’s tone was sincere.

However, the man standing opposite her didn’t look pleased.

‘Ms. Carter, are you not familiar with the rules of Everett’s business circles? I’m not trying to make things difficult for you.”

People around them began to look over. Countless eyes were sizing her up, filled with curiosity about what it meant for Mia to refuse this drink.

Mia was backed into a corner. She couldn’t drink the wine, but if she didn’t-

‘She’s unwell. I’ll drink it for her.”

Ethan Hale had noticed the commotion. He finished his conversation with the person in front of him and walked over, wine glass in hand.

The man’s expression shifted the moment he saw Ethan.

‘Mr. Hale, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to share a drink. Even a small sip from Ms. Carter would have been fine!”

She truly has been unwell the past few days and shouldn’t be drinking. That’s why I accompanied her today,” Ethan explained concisely.

The man was flattered and immediately believed that Mia was actually sick.

I’ll have three. Please, Mr. Hale, do as you wish.”

The man downed three glasses in a row without pausing for breath.

Ethan tilted his head back and finished his wine in one go.

Whispers began to ripple through the crowd.

After all, Ethan was her superior. For him to cover her drinks like that-

Mia glanced at Ethan. His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed as the liquid slid down his throat in one smooth motion.

This was the first time he had ever stepped in to drink for her.

Mia’s eyelids fluttered. As she pulled her gaze away, it swept over Serena Woods.

Serena was holding up her phone, surreptitiously taking a photo.

Ethan set down his glass and turned his head slightly, also spotting Serena.

His gaze was cold and heavy. He quickly looked back at Mia.

‘I’ve got it here. Go wait in the car.”

Mia turned and walked away. She lifted the hem of her long gown slightly, her slender ankles flashing in and out of view beneath the fabric.

‘Hey, wait…”

The man, having just set down his glass, watched in shock as Mia left without even a change in expression.

Forget gratitude toward her boss; she hadn’t even shown him basic politeness.

Ethan’s brow furrowed, his displeasure vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. He soon immersed himself back nto networking with the others.

in the parking lot, Mia reclined her seat and lay back to rest.

The surroundings were deathly silent, but Serena’s words echoed incessantly in her ears.

‘Ethan will definitely marry Chloe. He’s just using you to piss her off. Don’t think too highly of yourself. What is in ex-wife doing hanging around him all the time? Ethan just said it himself-he’ll go back to marry her once he’s blown off steam…*

The first time he had blatantly backed her up, the first time he had publicly covered her drinks.

It was all just to spite Chloe Bennett.
