But she played dumb. “What coming clean?”

“You know, admitting the baby in her belly is-”

‘Dr. Preston, I have no idea what you’re talking about. What is there to ‘come clean’ about regarding Mia’s pregnancy?”

On the other end, Cole was silent for a few seconds. “Then I must have misunderstood. Sorry to disturb you.”

‘No problem. I’m always happy to be ‘disturbed’ by you,” Nina said with biting sarcasm. “It’s just quite presumptuous of you to misunderstand plain English and then go through the trouble of calling me specifically about it…”

Cole listened silently. She had a vicious tongue. Once she was done insulting him, he hung up.

Top floor of the Bayview branch.

Mia arrived at a bad time. Ethan was in the middle of a meeting with Winston Henderson.

She waited in her office for the entire morning.

Around noon, Ethan emerged from his office. It seemed he wasn’t finished with Winston and intended to talk >ver lunch.

Ms. Carter, I thought you resigned?” Winston spoke up first.

Mia nodded slightly in greeting but ignored him, looking straight at Ethan. “Mr. Hale, do you have a moment to alk privately?”

Winston’s eyes grew wary as he glared at her. “What could be so important that you need a private audience? Mr. Hale is a very busy man.”

Ever since he’d become Ethan’s lapdog, Winston’s tone had become much sharper. And Ethan was giving him plenty of leeway.

Mr. Henderson is right. If you have something to say, say it at the table.”

Winston instinctively added, “Mr. Hale, Ms. Carter is about to leave the company. It’s probably not appropriate for her to hear our internal discussions, is it?”

Mia: “True, I already-”

Ethan’s voice was calm as he cut her off. “She’s not resigning.”

‘But… isn’t she in her notice period?” Winston desperately wanted her gone.

Ethan remained silent. He had already stated she wasn’t leaving; he didn’t feel the need to entertain Winston’s

nonsense.

Winston pressed on. “Then when will Ms. Carter return to her duties?”

Mia had planned to find a private time to discuss the resignation properly. She didn’t speak up.

Then she heard Ethan say, “I’m putting her on early maternity leave. You’ll need to take on more of the company’s responsibilities.”

‘Ma-maternity leave?” Mia was stunned.

She wasn’t even eligible to apply for leave for another two months, yet Ethan was giving it to her now?

The question was: was it paid?

‘Don’t worry, Mr. Hale. It’s the least I can do.” Winston was afraid that if Mia came back, she’d take her power back. But if she was on leave for half a year, his position by Ethan’s side would be solidified.
