She leaned toward Ethan, her tone teasing. “Looks like Jaxon is really into your secretary, Ethan.”

Jaxon chuckled. He was talking to Mia, but his eyes were locked on Ethan.

‘Is that right? You can be blunt with me, Mia. It’s not like Mr. Hale can control your private life, can he?”

Mia saw right through her. Chloe was using her as a tool to get rid of Jaxon, too.

But Jaxon wasn’t actually interested in her. Chloe had totally miscalculated.

To prove her point, Mia pulled out a chair and sat right down. “I’m sure Mr. Hale won’t mind if I join you.”

Chloe’s smile froze. She looked like she was about to blow a fuse.

Go back to your room once you’re done eating,” Ethan said, his voice cold and flat. “Wait for my call.

ust like that, he dismissed her. With two sentences, he’d decided she was to spend her afternoon on standby in

her room.

Mia nodded. “Got it.”

t was a self-service setup. She pulled out her phone, scanned the QR code, and started picking out what she

wanted.

Suddenly, something brushed against her leg under the table. Her hand jerked, and she instinctively looked at

axon.

Mia, Ethan and I might be rivals in the office, but we’re actually on good terms personally. He wouldn’t care if you and I got together.”

axon leaned on the edge of the table, his eyes full of mischief. “So, about me being into you have you thought it ›ver yet?”

Mia took a sharp breath, her body tensing up. She forced a polite smile. “You’re giving me way too much credit, Mr. Rivers. I’m just a secretary. You can do much better than me.”

axon chuckled and turned to Ethan. “You hear that? She likes me. She’s just worried about the ‘status gap.”

…” Mia felt like she was being pushed to the edge of a cliff. Jaxon didn’t give a damn about her safety; he just wanted to see Ethan’s reaction.

But what reaction could Ethan possibly have?

Her eyes flickered, searching his face.

I’ve heard Sunbrook has some excellent eye clinics,” Ethan said, his tone casual but cutting.

Jaxon didn’t even flinch at the insult. Instead, his grin widened. “Is that so? Then do you know a hospital that treats someone who’s blind, heartless, and full of shit?”.

Two men, two women.

And both men were making the entire conversation revolve around Mia.

She was just a secretary. Was she really worth being the focal point of this table?

Chloe finally snapped. “You’re the one who’s blind! What kind of woman even catches your eye? Jaxon, didn’t your family teach you any manners? Wanting to marry someone with that kind of background… the Rivers family standards must be in the gutter!”

It was a direct, ugly slap to the face.

Mia’s hands tightened, her nails digging into her palms.

Chloe, you’re the definition of high-society trash,” Jaxon shot back. “So young, yet such a nasty mouth and a

black heart. If Ethan actually marries you, that’s when the Hale family bar will really hit rock bottom!”

axon wanted to use Mia to bait Ethan, but he wasn’t looking to actually bully her.

You !” Chloe hissed, turning to Ethan for protection.

She suddenly locked eyes with Ethan. His gaze was ice-cold.

He was staring at her, his sharp brows furrowed in a dark scowl.

t finally clicked for Chloe Mia had already been a part of the Hale family.

f she kept calling Mia “low-class,” wasn’t she basically saying the Hales had low standards?

Mr. Hale, I’m going to take my lunch back to my room. Enjoy your meal.”

Mia couldn’t take another second of this.

She gave Ethan a quick nod and turned on her heel, walking away.
