axon Rivers walked toward Mia Carter, standing beside her as he looked down at her. “I want to invite you to work at Riverside Corporation. Mr. Hale said he’d let you make the final decision.”

Mia’s

eyes flickered with disbelief. She looked at Jaxon and then at Ethan Hale.

Ethan stood there, unmoving, radiating an aura of absolute control over the entire room.

Although Jaxon said the choice was hers, Mia knew better. The real decision-maker was still Ethan.

Mr. Rivers, stop joking. I’m already on maternity leave.”

I value talent,” Jaxon said immediately. “If you agree, we’ll process your intake paperwork right now. You can continue your maternity leave, and I’ll pay your full salary.”

He looked dead serious. Saying this in front of everyone meant he wasn’t playing games.

Mia couldn’t understand what had happened in the few seconds she was gone.

Nearby, Serena Woods looked miserable, her eyes fixed on Jaxon.

Mr. Hale.” Mia looked toward Ethan, her voice hesitating. She wanted to know what was going on.

Ethan shifted slightly. “Mr. Rivers values talent,” he said, his thin lips barely moving. “Make your own choice. Give ne your answer at the office tomorrow.”

Before Mia could respond, Ethan turned and walked away.

He truly meant it. He was giving her permission to jump ship.

Mia watched his departing back, her heart tightening into a knot. Suddenly, she found it hard to breathe.

Ha! Mia, you really are something else, aren’t you? I can’t believe you actually hooked up with him.”

Serena let out a cold laugh. It turned out the baby wasn’t Ethan’s after all.

t was Jaxon’s!

she pulled out her phone to report this “good news” to Chloe Bennett while turning to leave.

The crowd began to disperse.

Soon, only Mia and Jaxon were

left standing there.

What happened?” Mia’s head was spinning. “What is going on?”

axon patted her shoulder. “Wait for me in the car. Give me five minutes.”

He pushed through the crowd, heading in the direction Ethan had gone.

Outside the hotel entrance, Ethan was waiting for his car. He was chain-smoking, his cigarette already halfway

gone.

“Ethan.”

Jaxon caught up to him. “A man is only as good as his word.”

Ethan pressed his tongue against his cheek, remaining silent.

“Don’t make things hard for Mia,” Jaxon added, worried Ethan might change his mind when Mia went to see him

tomorrow.

Ethan’s cold, murderous gaze swept over him. “Get lost.”

Jaxon didn’t get angry; instead, he laughed. He knew Ethan was fuming.

But the irony was that despite the rage, that one “Get lost” was a confirmation of his promise.

Jaxon turned and headed toward the parking garage.

Mia was already in the car. When she saw Jaxon return, she sat up straight.

“Tell me exactly what happened.”

“Serena publicly questioned your relationship with Ethan. she demanded to know if the child in your belly was his, and if not, whose it was…”

Jaxon told her everything, word for word.

He concluded with an analysis. “Ethan stayed silent. If he hadn’t, people would assume the child is his. But if he had denied it outright, your reputation would have been destroyed. He was stuck.”

This was the first time Jaxon had ever seen Ethan backed into a corner.

And it was all because of Mia.

‘So you decided to publicly ‘headhunt’ me?” Mia hit the nail on the head. “By doing that, won’t everyone assume he baby is yours? If I jump ship, I’m basically admitting you’re the father!”

axon shifted his body to face her. “Is there a problem with that?”

Of course there’s a problem!” Mia’s face was grim. “Jaxon, you’re being reckless. I don’t want to jump out of the rying pan and into the fire!”

She was terrified of Ethan taking the child, and she didn’t want to deal with the harassment from Miranda Hale or

Chloe.
