Chapter 95
Mrs. Ford was already waiting at the resort.
Marcus offered to drive Ethan and Jaxon himself, claiming it would save time so they wouldn’t get lost on the
backroads.
Both men agreed.
Mia followed behind like a shadow. She was just an assistant nobody cared about the flicker of dread hidden in
her eyes.
Seeing them all climb in, Mia Carter had no choice but to grab her bag and follow.
Her stomach was in knots the entire way.
The men were talking shop, their voices filling the car. Normally, Mia would have chimed in with a few professional insights.
But today, she stayed dead silent, keeping her head down.
Ethan Hale sat right in front of her. Every few minutes, his icy gaze would flick her way, growing colder with very look.
The women’s wing is right here. It’s a shorter walk,” Marcus Ford said, signaling the driver. “Mr. Hale, why don’t you let your secretary off here? My wife is already inside waiting for her.”
Marcus signaled the driver to pull over.
The SUV came to a halt in front of the women’s entrance. Everyone turned to look at Mia.
The driver hopped out and yanked the door open for her.
Jnder their heavy stares, Mia grabbed her bag and stepped out.
The electronic door hissed shut, and the SUV rolled away.
Mia watched the taillights disappear, letting out a long, shaky breath. She turned and headed toward the entrance.
Miss Carter?” a hostess asked as she approached, setting down a pair of slippers. “Mrs. Ford asked me to show you
n.’
I’m sorry,” Mia said, stopping. “Could you tell Mrs. Ford that I’m on my period? I can’t get in the water. If she doesn’t mind, I can just sit on the side and keep her company.”
As long as she didn’t get in the pool, the risk of slipping was basically zero.
Mia planned to just keep her shoes on and stay in the lounge area.
“You can head into the pool area and tell her yourself,” the hostess replied, gesturing forward.
An attendant led her to the locker room to pick out a swimsuit.
Mia chose the most conservative one they had, but it still didn’t cover the hickeys staining her neck.
She draped a towel around her shoulders to hide the marks before heading out to the pools.

Marcus had booked the entire place for the day. It was dead quiet.

The sound of rushing water echoed through the air. Mia followed a pebble path past several steaming pools until she spotted a woman soaking in one of them.
Since Marcus had cleared the place out, this had to be Mrs. Ford.
She looked about Mia’s age, with flawless skin and a soft, elegant grace about her.
Mia walked up to the edge of the pool and gave a polite smile. “Mrs. Ford? I’m Mia Carter, Mr. Hale’s secretary from Bayview.”
“Ms. Carter.” Mrs. Ford turned around, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw her. “You’re so young. Ethan’s right hand at your age… you must be incredibly sharp.”
The woman definitely knew how to give a compliment.
