Chapter 79

Professionally or personally, Mia is just a secretary. If one secretary is causing this much drama for everyone, I should be asking who’s really under a spell here.”

Ethan’s eyes were dark and unreadable, masking the storm brewing beneath. “The company is in chaos, and this house isn’t much better.”

Lila shut her mouth instantly, scurrying over to sit next to Mrs. Hale.

Caught off guard by his retort, Miranda went pale. She stared at him, completely speechless.

“I won’t be coming back home for a while. Cancel the family dinner this weekend.”

His appetite was gone. Ethan stood up, walked to the foyer, grabbed his wool coat, and headed out the door.

The biting wind hit him hard, but it couldn’t touch the irritation burning in his chest.

Two hours later. Bayview Holdings.

Mia arrived at work with her files organized and headed straight into Ethan’s office.

Right on top of the stack sat her resignation letter, signed and ready.

She turned around and froze. Ethan was standing right there by the lounge door.

He’d just showered and was buttoning up a crisp white shirt, rolling his sleeves as he walked toward the desk.

‘Get me some coffee.”

His deep voice trailed off, hitting a sudden snag.

He’d seen the letter.

Mia stood her ground, staring him down.

He didn’t say a word. He just grabbed the resignation letter, ripped it in half, and tossed it into the trash.

Only then did she turn around and go get his coffee.

But she wasn’t giving up that easily. She printed out dozens of copies. Every time she caught a moment alone with

im, she’d slide a new one onto his desk.

And every single one met the same fate the trash can.

t became a silent routine. She’d hand it over; he’d rip it up. Neither of them said a word about it.

It was a war of nerves. They were just waiting to see who would crack first.

Meanwhile, Mr. Gonzalez and his team worked through the night to fix the Horizon Project data. Within Forty-eight hours, they had a new proposal ready.

But for the Bennetts, the crisis was far from over.

‘Our family company almost went under because of her, and Ethan still has her right there by his side? What the hell is he thinking?”

Sandra Bennett had been blowing up Miranda’s phone about it for days.

Miranda just kept making excuses, insisting that Mia was a nobody. The only thing that mattered, she said, was getting Ethan and Chloe engaged as soon as possible.

But with Ethan acting like this, how could they trust him with Chloe?

“Ethan is a workaholic. If we want this engagement to happen, we’re going to have to be the ones to make the first

move.”

Derek Bennett was counting on Bayview to take his company to the next level. He didn’t dare breathe a word against Ethan.

The first move? How is a girl supposed to do that?” Sandra looked at her daughter, who was curled up on the sofa with her knees tucked to her chest. “I raised her like a princess. Why is he treating her like she’s an afterthought?”

Derek only cared about the result. “Who cares how he treats her? As long as she marries into the Hale family, we’re set. Just seal the deal. If she gets pregnant with his kid, every problem we have disappears.”

Sandra marched over and smacked him on the shoulder.

What is wrong with you? A girl needs to have some self-respect…”

Chloe shifted uncomfortably. A flash of guilt crossed her face, and she stayed silent, unable to look her father in he eye.

She couldn’t even face her parents. She just bit her lower lip, hard.

Sandra shoved Derek toward the stairs. As he went, he snapped back, “If you have that much energy, use it on Ethan! You guys are just thinking too small!”

“Is that any way to talk to your child? Chloe, honey, ignore your father.”

Sandra Bennett sat down next to Chloe. “Men always have wandering eyes. A man like Ethan Hale isn’t the wou can just tie down with a baby. You have to get rid of the women around him first…”

Chloe leaned her head on Sandra’s shoulder, using the movement to hide the guilt written all over her face.

“Mia, did you put on some weight?”
