Chapter 376
Mia pulled her gaze back. There was no further interaction.
Winston and the others didn’t speak, but their mocking gazes swept over Mia.
The elevator doors opened. Winston smiled sycophantically. “After you, Mr. Hale.”
Ethan strode inside. The group followed, and the doors slid shut.
Mia’s elevator arrived, and she stepped in with Stella. Several employees nearby pretended not to see her, waiting or other elevators to avoid being associated with her.
Within seconds, Stella understood everything.
How did you offend Mr. Hale?”
Mia looked at her. “Why are you so sure I’m the one who offended him?”
Stella clicked her tongue. “That’s Mr. Hale. If he’s right, he’s right. If he’s wrong, he’s still right. Isn’t that what aught me?”

When Stella first joined the company, she saw everything in black and white and offended a lot of people. Mia ad taught her that with bosses and powerful colleagues, even when they’re wrong, they’re “right.” You had to earn to turn a blind eye.
Now, the student was teaching the teacher.
Yes, my mistake.”
Then go apologize to him,” Stella suggested. She sniffled. “I came all this way just to work for you. If you go down, ‘ll be stranded here. If I have to crawl back to Northbrook, everyone will laugh at me.”
Mia sighed. “How are you so sure he’ll even accept an apology?”
Just be sincere. Admit whatever you did wrong.” Stella thought for a moment. “If all else fails, get on your knees and kowtow. I’ll do it with you. How could he still be mad?”
t reminded Mia of those internet memes where a girl brings her best friend to beg an ex for forgiveness. For Mia,
t had become bringing a colleague to kowtow so the boss would stop being angry.
Even if I really do lose my position, I’ll make sure you’re taken care of. Now, go back to work.”
The elevator doors opened, and Mia stepped out first.
Stella hurried to keep up. “Wait, based on your tone, are you actually going to be fired?”
Mia didn’t answer because she didn’t know either. Like Nina Torres said, they’d cross that bridge when they came to it. If she got fired, Nina would have her back.
She stayed in her office all afternoon. Winston went to Ethan’s office three times, and every time, they seemed to be having a great conversation, their voices loud enough to be heard.
When it was time to leave, Mia didn’t ask Ethan if he needed a ride home like she usually did. She just packed her things and left.

Nina called right as she got off work, too impatient to wait for her to get home. “Well? Did Ethan grill you again?”
“No.” Mia rested her hand on the steering wheel, her slender fingers curling around it. “It was quite peaceful.”
