Chapter 209
Even After Death
It was thanks to the Carltons that Olivia was finally free from Ethanâs control.
Although they were still in the same company, a lowly salesperson like her couldnât possibly meet the
CEO.
The only inconvenience was that she got removed from the secretaryâs office.
She was distanced from the secretaries. And that strayed her from the goal she came here for.
Olivia could only put her hopes on Jack. She hoped that he could dig up something useful on his trip.
As she was lost in her thoughts, someone said with a sigh, âWhy do I have to be the one to hand in the
strategy chart again?â
Olivia turned and met the eyes of Norma Talbot, the person whose desk was next to hers. She was an
earnest person.
âWhatâs wrong, Ms. Talbot?â
Norma pushed her hair behind her ear and said sheepishly, âItâs time to hand in this projectâs strategy
chart. As you know, weâre already the C team.
âWe were ranked last in the previous month. I donât dare to walk into the secretaryâs office. Iâll be scared
to death if I meet Mr. Ingram.â
âIs Mr. Ingram very intimidating?â
âYouâre new, so you donât know. If Mr. Miller is the king of hell, Mr. Ingram is the guardian of hell.
âHe was so stern that he scared the cleanerâs daughter to tears last time.â
Olivia nodded thoughtfully and said, âIf thatâs the case, Iâll go for you. Iâm new here anyway. I donât mind
being scolded.â
âYouâre too kind, Olivia. Thank you so much.â Norma quickly handed the file to Olivia.
Olvia looked at the file in her hand.
She smiled. This was her chance to get closer to the secretaries.
Unbeknownst to her, the colleagues who were all smiling a moment ago changed their expressions.
âI envy how naive young people are these days. Another one who doesnât know her place. How many
have there been this year?â
Norma crossed her arms and said disdainfully, âThatâs the only way to get closer to Mr. Miller.
âShe probably hopes to catch his attention by being around there. Why else would anyone go to the
secretaryâs office and risk being scolded?â
âTsk, if I recall correctly, the last one had her arm broken by Mr. Ingram and thrown out, right?â
âLetâs make a bet. How many days will she last before she quits?â
âIâll take that action. Loser buys everyone lunch.â Comment by soonyoung gu: take what action?
Olivia went to the top floor. She glanced at the door at the end of the corridor. It was shut tightly,
She subconsciously sighed in relief and went into the secretaryâs office.
The secretaries who were busy with work looked at her when she entered.
Nancy winked at her and said, âI heard you transferred to the sales department, Ms. Fordham. Was it
because you didnât like us?â
Olivia smiled and said, âOf course not. I thought I wasnât capable enough for this position.
âI didnât want to cause trouble for Mr. Miller. So I transferred to the sales department to work on myself.â
âWhat a pity. You were a sight for sore eyes. You were gone too soon.â
Nancy was no slouch. She knew that Olivia was special. Olivia was the only person who ever brought
food for Ethan.
One moment, she was a secretary. Next, she was a salesperson.
It mustâve been someoneâs orders. How else could she just change jobs so easily?
That was why she didnât mind getting closer to Olivia. âOlivia, surely youâre not here to chat. How can
we help?â
âMs. Giles, this is our teamâs strategy chart. Can you please hand it to Mr. Miller for me?â
Nancy thought about it for a while and quickly understood. âLeave it to me. Be careful in the sales
department. The people there are all very cunning.â
âThanks, Ms. Giles.â
Olivia took out the presents that she had prepared. For the men, she had tie clips. For the women, she
prepared brooches.
âI thought I would be here, so I had prepared presents. Please take one, Ms. Giles.â
âI love thoughtful people like you!â Nancy toyed with the brooch and said, âThanks.â
Olivia proceeded to hand the presents to the others. They knew she was somehow related to Ethan, so
they didnât dare to
refuse.
Olivia stopped before Grace. She noticed that Grace had been working the whole time she was there.
She didnât even spare a look at her.
