(Chapter 415
A dozen emotions were tangled in those few words. Ethan was nearly swallowed by the chaos in his heart
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the conference room door.
Lila Hale pushed the door open just a crack. Before she even stepped inside, she blurted out, “The news has been suppressed! And someone is accusing the media outlets of invading privacy; they’ve already filed lawsuits against all of them! Mia, it must be Jaxon-”
It must be Jaxon Rivers, Lila knew he was in Everett.
Her voice died in her throat as she saw the two of them in the corner.
Ethan had Mia trapped against the wall. His posture was dominant, yet his expression was one of undeniable desolation. All his usual composure had vanished.
Mia ducked away from him, creating some space.
Once you’ve handled my resignation, Mr. Hale, please let me know. I won’t be coming into the office for the next ew days.”
With that, she turned to leave.
As she passed Lila, she offered a small nod of greeting.
If you resign now, you’re going to have a lot of trouble,” Lila warned her. “If you stay, your position as the head of he Bayview branch will protect you from unnecessary harassment.”
But this trouble only exists because of this position,” Mia replied.
f she were just an ordinary person, an unwed pregnancy with an unknown father would only cause some gossip mong neighbors. She wouldn’t be facing a situation like this.
