Chapter 232
Even After Death
In the past, Olivia wouldâve checked Ethanâs injury or given him a massage on the head immediately.
However, she didnât do the same today.
Even though their divorce was the result of a scheme and Jeffâs hospitalization had nothing to do with
Ethan, everything was in the past.
She needed to get used to a life without him.
Olivia stood right where she was respectfully and said in a calm manner, âMr. Miller, I brought the
proposal.â
He didnât open his eyes as he furrowed his brows. âCome here.â
She came to his side. âIf youâre tired, I can read the proposal for you.â
In the past, she would read the documents for him whenever he was exhausted.
After he told her his decision, she would proceed with the following step.
Opening his eyes, Ethan pulled her into his embrace.
She shrieked. The angry man who told her to scram last night was making his advance all of a sudden.
The papers scattered on the floor, and her hands rested against his built chest.
At this time, Marina should be making an appearance within the company to establish her position as
Mrs. Miller.
Yet, Ethan was hugging his ex-wife in his office.
Olivia was completely confused by the situation.
âMr. Miller, what are you doing?â She looked him in the eye, flustered.
There was neither resentment nor affection in his eyes.
The calmness in his eyes rendered his mood indecipherable.
âI heard that you became the talk of the company,â he said.
âItâs more or less related to you,â she responded.
The mastermind only took photos of her and Elijah entering the hotel.
There was no solid evidence that she met him. Thus, she supposed that it had nothing to do with
Sophia.
If the culprit was Sophia, she wouldâve exposed more intimate photos of Olivia and Elijah.
Obviously, the mastermind had hidden near the hotel entrance.
Had Ethan not brought her to the rooftop, she wouldnât have gotten changed and there wouldnât have
been such a controversy in the first place.
Ethan arched his eyebrow. âAre you blaming me?â
âI donât dare to.â
âBut itâs also proof that youâre a âcapableâ person. It hasnât been a week since youâve been working
here, but youâve offended everyone in your department.â
He tucked her hair to the back of her ear, noticing that her hair had grown longer.
He whispered to her, âYou said you wanted to start anew and give your best at work, but â¦â
He dragged his voice as the glint in his eyes turned colder. âI donât think that youâre doing your job well
by turning everyone into your enemy and becoming ferocious.
âOlivia Fordham, donât take me as an idiot. Whatâs your objective of coming to Miller Group?â
Her heart skipped a beat.
There was nothing she could hide from him.
Olivia thought about how Ethan threw a fit when she barely mentioned something about Leia last night.
In addition to the fact that she was under strict surveillance, she figured that she might alarm him if she
told him everything right now.
She swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue, feigning grievance. âIâm here to work, but I can only
do something if someone gives me the chance to.
âYou saw it. Theyâre bullying me-a newcomer-for not having a powerful background. They wanted to
make me into a scapegoat, but I refused. So, theyâre framing me.â
The more she said, the angrier she became. âYou saw Mr. Lincoln last night. Heâs old enough to be my
father and yet he wanted me to accompany him.
âIf I didnât scold him, he wouldâve taken advantage of me however he wanted.â
Looking at her upset expression, Ethan frowned. âWho said you donât have a powerful background?â
He initially turned a blind eye to it because he was hoping for her to return to his side from the pressure
of getting bullied.
Yet, she transformed into a fierce cat that almost turned everything upside down.
Olivia looked at him with beady eyes. âMr. Miller, are you on my side?â
Ethanâs finger caressed her lips, which were free from the touch of lipstick.
Their color was slightly lighter than the lips of ordinary people. He said softly, âThat is if youâre willing to
accept my support.â
