Chapter 174
Even After Death
No one knew Ethanâs favorites better than Olivia. Thus, it should be easy to please him.
The only tricky part was whether he would give her the chance.
Back then, she had prepared dinner for him a few times as well.
Each time, she waited until midnight. Yet, there was no sign of his return.
He would give her the cold shoulder without batting an eye. No matter what she said, he wouldnât meet
her.
Olivia was testing the waters when she called Ethan. Apparently, he wasnât as cruel as he was before.
After making dinner, she went to Miller Group by car.
She was deeply absorbed in her thoughts while hugging the lunch boxes.
The mastermind knew Ethan and Oliviaâs situation like the back of his hand.
Hence, it was highly possible that he was an acquaintance of Ethanâs.
But who could it be?
Kelvin and Brent clearly could not be the mastermind. Madam Burgess was out of the question
because she wouldnât be able to keep things to herself.
Could it be one of the workers in the Miller Group?
Olivia didnât visit him at work before they divorced. At that time, she assumed he was protecting her
privacy.
Now, it seemed like a joke to her.
The public was aware of Ethan and Marinaâs engagement. It was all over the news.
Yet, there wasnât a huge change to Oliviaâs identity.
Be it the past or present, she was kept in the dark like a dirty secret.
She took the presidential elevator to go to the highest floor of the building. Every employee had clocked
out at this hour.
Only Ethan and his secretaries were working overtime.
Her feet halted by the door.
There were six secretaries working for him. She could recognize the four men and two women.
The moment she entered the office, she met eyes with a lady sitting in a corner.
The lady adjusted her spectacles. Olivia couldnât see her eyes due to the reflection of the glass.
âMrs. Miller, Mr. Millerâs office is right ahead.â Brent showed Olivia the way.
The secretaries were buried in their works. She couldnât observe much from that brief glimpse.
In order not to alarm them, she quickly left the area.
Brent knocked on the door, and an icy voice came from the inside. âCome in.â
He opened the door for Olivia before taking his leave.
The curious secretaries came up to him. âBrent, whoâs that woman?â
Ethan was known for his aloof attitude toward women. Other than for collaboration purposes, no
women had ever shown up
at this hour.
Brent smacked William Danteâs forehead. The latter was the liveliest among the secretaries.
âYou talk too much. Have you finished your work yet?â Brent said.
William covered his forehead while muttering a few curses under his breath.
Brent looked at everyone. âFocus on your job.â
âYes, Brent.â Everyone was eager for the gossip, but no one dared to start the discussion first.
Meanwhile, Olivia was looking at Ethan, who was working.
It was such an irony that she only visited him at work after the divorce.
It seemed like he was so preoccupied with work that he didnât acknowledge her arrival.
She placed the lunch boxes on the table neatly.
The stars twinkled in the somber sky, and the city was illuminated.
Ethan appeared stoic under the lights. He didnât spare Olivia a single glance as of now.
Pinâdrop silence filled the office.
She didnât have an inkling to his thoughts.
Judging from how he didnât hit her despite her scoldings this morning, she was confident that he
wouldnât be physical here.
Mustering the courage in her, she approached him. The closer the distance was, the more intense she
could feel his presence.
Even though he hadnât uttered a word, his presence filled the air.
She walked up behind him, wanting to talk nicely with him.
However, the moment she saw the back of his head, her hand instinctively grabbed the ashtray.
