His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373

“Prepare for the meeting.”

Ethan Hale was far more composed than she was.

It was as if the sharp confrontation from the night before had never happened.

But the more he acted this way, the more uneasy Mia Carter felt.

She stepped out of the elevator, hurried back to her office to grab her documents, and rushed to the conference room without a moment’s pause.

The first project after the establishment of the Everett branch was crucial.

Since Ethan was here, he had called the meeting to outline a preliminary plan for future development.

‘Mr. Hale, there’s a Government Partnership Initiative coming up at the end of the year. I think we should

participate. It would significantly boost Bayview’s reputation and credibility in Everett.”

Winston Henderson was the first to speak.

The project he was referring to was the same one Mr. Gallagher had mentioned.

Ethan directed the topic straight to Mia. “Ms. Carter, what do you think?”

He was so used to calling her “Ms. Carter” that he hadn’t changed his way of addressing her.

‘I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Mia replied quickly, her thoughts sharp and immediate. “The government projects

n Everett already have established partners. While we could potentially win the bid, we would inevitably offend people. Bayview has just established its footing here; it’s not the right time to be too aggressive.”

Her opinion was the exact opposite of Winston’s.

Winston’s face clouded with dissatisfaction, but he didn’t argue.

clearly biased toward Mia and would undoubtedly adopt her suggestion immediately.

However-

Is Bayview ever afraid?”

Ethan’s tone was indifferent. Then, he pivoted sharply. “Manager Henderson, you have a long-term vision and a decisive manner. I’m putting you in charge of the Government Partnership Initiative.”

The conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Just the other day, Ethan had backed Mia up so fiercely that he seemed ready to fire tens of thousands of people if she so much as frowned. Now, he was publicly slapping her in the face.

His praise for Winston was, in reverse, a criticism of Mia-implying she was just a short-sighted, timid woman who only cared about the immediate future.

Mia lowered her gaze. How could she not know that Ethan was the type to seek revenge for even the smallest slight?

Her words from last night had clearly wounded his pride.

‘Mr. Hale, Ms. Carter, this…”

Faced with this sudden windfall, Winston was wary. “I’m in charge?”

Yes.” Ethan rested his palm on the edge of the table, his long fingers tapping lightly against the surface. “You can hand-pick your team. I’ll open a new department for you to handle this project with full authority.”

Leading the branch’s first major project effectively doubled Winston’s power.

He couldn’t help but sit up straighter, adjusting his suit jacket.

Thank you

for the opportunity, Mr. Hale. Rest assured, I won’t let you down.”

His words were filled with flattery for Ethan and blatant contempt for Mia.

Meeting adjourned.”

Ethan stood up, buttoned his suit, and strode past Mia without a second glance.

As soon as the door closed, Winston burst into a laugh.
