Chapter 216
Even After Death
Olivia asked because she thought it was strange. She didnât expect a real answer.
âWhat background would a cleaner have?â
âI heard that she saved Mr. Millerâs life before.â
Olivia was fascinated, âBut why is she only a cleaner if she saved his life?â
âShe had no one. Sheâs used to the job. Thatâs why she kept doing it.
âBut she only cleans Mr. Millerâs office. Thereâs not much to clean. The load is fairly light.â
Olivia nodded and said, âI see.â
She talked with the cleaner for a little bit more, then left. She made a mental note of the mysterious
cleaner.
Evening came. Olivia tagged along with Sophia to meet Lincoln.
Sophia was touching up her makeup in the car. She threw occasional glances at Olivia.
âOlivia, I see that youâre still young. If you can secure this deal with Mr. Lincoln tonight, Iâll forgive what
you did yesterday.â
âIs he hard to negotiate with?â
âFor other people, yes. But for a pretty woman like you, itâs a different matter.â
Sophia was finished with her makeup and leaned toward Olivia.
Olivia could smell the heavy perfume she was wearing. The perfume made her feel a little suffocated.
She furrowed her brows.
âOlivia, itâs easier for women to climb the ladder than men. We have inherent advantages that men
donât have. Do you understand what I mean?â
Sophia had a complicated look in her eyes.
Olivia was not dumb. She knew what Sophia was talking about.
âI understand.â
âI think youâre a smart woman, too. You wonât disappoint me, right?â
Olivia wanted to tell Sophia that she didnât care if she was disappointed. But she saw that they were
arriving at their destination, so she held her tongue.
She didnât want to cause another scene.
âYeah.â
âIâll be waiting for your good news, Olivia.â Sophia looked at Olivie from head to toe again.
The simple work attire worn by Olivia exuded a professional charm. Her well-proportioned figure was
alluring
Even as a woman, Sophia couldnât help but be tempted by Oliviaâs legs in stockings.
Sophia was sure that an old pervert like Lincoln would succumb to Oliviaâs charms.
In the Golden Horizon Hotel, Olivia was carrying a file folder.
She was deep in thought while following behind Sophia.
Sophia thought that was because Olivia had never been to such a luxurious hotel.
She whispered to Olivia, âOlivia, after you get Mr. Lincoln to sign the contract, Iâll make you a
permanent employee.
âAs long as you stay with our company, you can stay at hotels like these whenever you want.â
Olivia didnât tell her that Ethan prepared a penthouse suite on the top floor of the hotel.
It was a special suite designed according to her preferences and featured everything from an infinity
pool to a rooftop garden.
It was as luxurious as a suite could get.
Now that she thought about it. Ethan really used to dote on her.
As she was thinking of the good old days when she was with Ethan, she saw Marina holding Ethanâs
arm when she looked up.
They were walking toward a private elevator from the restaurant.
Her eyes met with Ethanâs, but she quickly looked away. It was like they didnât know each other.
Olivia accidentally dropped the file folder. She quickly crouched down to pick up the documents that
were scattered on the floor.
Sophia was annoyed. âOlivia, you canât afford to be so careless when we meet Mr. Lincoln.â
âIâll go touch up my makeup.â Olivia quickly went to the washroom.
She thought she had already let go of her feelings for Ethan.
But whenever she saw him with another woman, her heart ached uncontrollably. That was the man
who used to love her and her only.
Her fingers clenched when she thought about Ethan bringing Marina to the place she used to love
visiting
The thought of Marina using her bathtub, wearing her robe, and sleeping with her man. It was
unbearable.
It was only natural. There was no way she couldâve let go of the feelings she felt so strongly for years in
just a couple of
months.
Sophia knocked on the washroom door and said, âOlivia, whatâs taking you so long? Letâs not keep Mr.
Lincoln waiting.â
