His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383

What position do you have in mind?” Ethan Hale asked.

Winston Henderson replied, “As high as possible, obviously. This project is the branch’s first major undertaking. It’s the key to whether Everett can become a leader in the region.”

He was making it clear: this project was vital. If Ethan wanted to promote him, it had to be to a significant role. Like General Manager of the branch.

Winston’s subtext was loud and clear. Both Ethan and Mia Carter picked up on it immediately.

When the time comes, you can take your pick of positions at the branch,” Ethan said straightforwardly.

Mia’s eyelids flickered. The faint light from her laptop illuminated her face. Her dark eyes remained steady, hiding iny inner turmoil.

Mr. Hale, you aren’t joking, are you?”

Winston was self-aware enough to know what Mia had said was true. He was Mr. Henderson Sr.’s man; Ethan houldn’t be promoting him. Giving him this project was already a surprise.

Ethan tapped his desk. “The prerequisite is that you are loyal enough to me. You might be related to Mr. Henderson Sr., but everyone acts in their own self-interest. If you stay with him, you’re just a stepping stone for is son. You’ll never have your own day in the sun. Follow me instead. I can give you everything he can, plus the ndividual recognition you deserve.”

Mr. Henderson Sr.’s son, Colin, was a failure. Winston was a top-tier graduate with excellent skills. All his chievements would normally be credited to Colin to build the latter’s reputation. If Winston followed Ethan, his itle might not be much higher, but the glory would be his alone.

Ethan was betting that Winston wanted the credit.

Winston was cautious. “And what if I say I want Ms. Carter’s position?”

It’s yours,” Ethan said without hesitation. “As long as the project succeeds, you’ll be the one calling the shots at the

Winston was thrilled, though a sliver of suspicion remained. “Mr. Hale, let’s talk again once the project is finished.” He didn’t commit immediately.

Ethan nodded.

The meeting ended, and Winston left. Mia finished summarizing the key points of the proposal and sent them to Ethan’s email.

‘Mr. Hale, the notes have been sent. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back out.” She packed her laptop and stood up.

Ethan’s hawk-like gaze swept over her. “Ms. Carter, do you have nothing to say?”

“No,” Mia replied, shaking her head.

While Ethan’s offer was tempting, the move to win Winston over was too sudden. If Winston’s relationship with Mr. Henderson Sr. was better than Ethan expected, this would just be alerting the enemy. It was easy to get

But Ethan was brilliant. Mia couldn’t fathom his exact plan, but she knew he had considered every possibility.

‘Aren’t you afraid your position is actually in jeopardy?” Ethan narrowed his eyes.

Mia held her laptop, her expression neutral. “I follow whatever arrangements you make, Mr. Hale.”

What was the use of being afraid?

Ethan stared at her intensely. She met his gaze calmly.

Just as their eyes locked, the office door was pushed open.
