Chapter 179
Even After Death
Ethan stared deeply into Oliviaâs eyes. He wanted to see what she was thinking by reading her
expression.
âWhat do you want?â
Olivia was being too weird. He had no idea what she was plotting.
Ethan felt uneasy even though she had become more docile.
. âI already told you. I wanted to have a fresh start. I donât want to be in the shadows my whole life.â
Olivia tugged at Ethanâs sleeve lightly. Her muffled voice came from within his embrace. âCan I?â
âIs that all you want?â Ethan said in a strained voice. He did not know what to say.
âWhat else can I do? Or are you saying that youâre willing to let me go and live in other cities?â
Ethan tightened his arms around her voice and said coldly, âDonât even think about it.â
Olivia smiled bitterly in his arms. He had already said it before. Even in death, she had to stay by his
side.
She closed her eyes and thought, âAs you wish.â
âAs you wish,â Ethan said.
The voice in Oliviaâs head and Ethanâs voice were in unison.
Olivia raised her head to smile at him and said, âAre you full? Do you want to eat some more?â
âIâm fine. You should go rest.â
Olivia broke free from his embrace and said with a serious face, âHow can I do that? I am going to be
your secretary soon. I
need to get used to your daily routine.â
Ethan looked at her deeply. She had a serious expression. He didnât see anything suspicious.
âDo whatever you want.â
He went back to his seat while Olivia cleaned up the food containers.
She saw Ethan make a call from the corner of her eye. Brent quickly entered the room and stood at the
side, awaiting orders.
âMr. Miller, Mrs. Miller.â Brent addressed them.
âShe will be my personal assistant from now on. Go and make arrangements for that.â
Brent was shocked. Olivia smiled and said, âThanks, Brent. Also, I hope that you can keep my identity
a secret.â
âYes, Mrs. Miller.â
âIâm afraid youâll have to change how you address me.â
Brent looked at Ethan for confirmation. Ethan nodded at him.
âOkay. My apologies. Come with me, Olivia.â
Olivia quickly followed Brent out of the room. Ethan stared at her back as she was leaving.
He decided that he would keep her close. No matter what she was plotting, she would not be able to
cause any trouble with him watching.
He went back to his work after he came to that conclusion. But for some reason, he was in a better
mood than before.
Olivia followed Brent to the corridor. Brent looked around and saw that nobody was near. He said, âMrs.
Mi- Are you sure you want to do this?â
âItâs better to be able to work than to be locked up at home. At least this way, I get to go out.â
Olivia shrugged and said, âIâll be in your care then. Thanks.â
âYouâre welcome.â
After that, Brent took Olivia to the secretaryâs office and introduced her to everyone.
The others were shocked to see a personal assistant join them out of the blue. But they welcomed her
warmly.
âIâll arrange for you to have a desk tomorrow. You can just familiarize yourself with the other people
tonight.â
âUnderstood.â
After Brent left, the six people in the office stared at her. But since they all worked under Ethan, they
didnât ask her anything, even if they were curious.
âOlivia, Iâll brief you on Mr. Millerâs habits in a bit.â
The one who spoke was William Dante. He was in charge when Brent wasnât around.
He was holding a stack of documents, and his back was straight. He didnât look like an office worker
but more like an army man.
âThanks, Mr. Dante.â
William proceeded to introduce the others to her, âThis is Aaron Dante, Tiago Bingley, and Clint
Bingley.â
Olivia had already heard about them before she arrived. Aaron and William were brothers. Tiago and
Clint were cousins.
William pointed to the two remaining female assistants and said, âThey are Grace Engel and Nancy
Giles.â
âNice to meet you, everyone. My name is Olivia Fordham. Iâll be in your care.â
Olivia introduced herself with confidence. But her eyes were watching their expressions closely.
