His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469

Mia Carter’s separation agreement included a clause stating that she had to cooperate with necessary work-related tasks even after her resignation.

Although she wasn’t in the mood to work, her professional ethics remained intact. She walked over to Ethan Hale.

How long will this take?”

Just one meal.” Ethan opened the passenger door for her.

Mia bent over and climbed into the car, buckling her seatbelt.

As Ethan walked around the front of the car, he saw her pull out her phone to send a message. His gaze darkened. He got in and started the engine.

Without the sarcastic bickering from before, the atmosphere in the car was far from harmonious. Mia nstinctively avoided looking at him, but her avoidance only made the silence feel more suffocating.

Everbay Bistro was located on the top floor of a downtown mall. The entire floor was decorated in dark red, which, under the afternoon sun, turned into a vibrant, fiery crimson. Paired with black and white accents, the lace felt cold and sterile, devoid of any common warmth.

n the VIP box, the double wooden doors were carved with intricate patterns, exuding an air of prestige. A server >pened the door to reveal two people already seated inside.

Mia recognized one of them immediately. Sarah Gallagher was the wealthy woman she and Nina Torres had run nto at a restaurant the other day.

Mr. Gallagher, Mrs. Gallagher.”

As the two stood up, Ethan took the lead in introducing her. “This is my secretary, Mia Carter.”

Marcus Gallagher and his wife?”

Mia had never met Marcus at any Gallagher family functions, but she had heard of him. He was Arthur Gallagher’s younger brother. Rumor had it that Marcus had no interest in business; he simply collected dividends rom the Gallagher Group and never attended social engagements.

Why was Ethan meeting him?

Please, sit.” Marcus pulled out the chair next to him, then glanced at his wife, Sarah.

Sarah retracted her gaze from Mia and said softly, “Since you’re talking business, I’ll go sit over there.”

Ethan glanced back at Mia.

‘I’ll keep Mrs. Gallagher company,” Mia said, catching his drift. She grabbed her bag and followed Sarah toward the tea table.

She sat down across from Sarah and reached for the teapot to begin the service.

“Let me,” Sarah said, taking the teapot to rinse the cups and brew the tea. “The tea in Everett is different from what you find in Northbrook.”

Mia set the teapot down and watched Sarah’s fluid, graceful movements, nodding with a smile. “Everett is famous for its tea. I heard even the three-year-olds here understand the tea ceremony. I wouldn’t dream of showing off in front of you.”

Sarah smiled faintly, her eyes falling on a water stain on the wooden table. The reflection in the water showed Mia’s cool, refined features.

“Are you getting used to Everett?”

“It’s quite nice,” Mia replied. “The weather is like spring all year round.”

Sarah nodded. “As long as you’re comfortable. I heard you resigned from Bayview. Do you plan on leaving Everett?”

“Not in the short term.” Mia shook her head. Once she started at Riverside, her plans would depend on the company’s arrangements.

“Are you here alone?” Sarah continued to chat as she worked.
