Chapter 243
Even After Death
At the mention of Jackson, Norma rolled her eyes. âOne word-pervert.â
âHeâs a pervert?â
âYeah. Heâd even give a female fly a second look, not to mention women.â
Olivia felt even more confused. Could someone like him be the mastermind?
âDid he mess with you, Ms. Fordham?â Norma asked, studying Oliviaâs expression.
âNo, I was just curious.â
Norma thought quickly, then said, âThanks to you, we got another partnership in the bag. This means
that weâve completed the sales mission. Heâll be here soon.â
As she spoke, Norma pointed at a man in a suit and tie, who was standing at a corner. âLook, there he
is.â
Olivia looked in the direction Norma was pointing. Jackson seemed to be around 35 years old. He had
a common stature, and his eyes had a cunning shine to them.
When their gazes met, Jackson studied Olivia from head to toe.
âOh, youâre that newcomer, arenât you? The one who bagged a huge project as soon as she joined.
Youâre something.â Jackson reached out to pat Olivia on the shoulder.
He was boldly trying to take advantage of her. Before he touched her shoulder, Olivia subtly dodged
him. She said, calmly yet politely, âYouâre too kind, Mr. Yancey.â
She met Jacksonâs gaze, trying to figure something out from the look in his eyes.
He didnât even hide his intentions. It was obvious that he wanted to harass her.
âYou have a bright future ahead of you, Olivia!â
Jackson chatted a little before leaving. Before he left, he even tried to ask Olivia out for dinner after
work.
Jackson had just left when Norma spoke up. âI told you, heâs a pervert. You should stay away from him,
Ms. Fordham.â
âYeah.â
Looking at Jackson, Olivia grew suspicious. She had seen the photos he sent in Sophiaâs chat history.
If not, she wouldâve thought that she was overthinking it.
This man was good at pretending.
âHelp me with something, Norma.â
Hearing Olivia asking something of her, Norma immediately agreed. âWhat is it, Ms. Fordham?â
Olivia whispered in Normaâs ear. Without another thought, Norma replied, âLeave this to me. I swear
that by tomorrow morning, Iâll have all the information on Jackson.
âI wonât miss any details.â
Olivia reminded her, âRemember, donât let anyone else know about this.â
Norma thought that there were some personal grudges between them. She hastily gestured, zipping
her mouth. âDonât worry, Ms. Fordham. My lips are sealed.â
Not long after Olivia settled the project, Ethan heard news of it.
He leaned against his chair, supporting his head with a hand as he spoke mockingly.
âI just wanted to tame her a little with this tough job, but I never thought that she would get it done in
two days. Are the others too useless, or is she simply too talented?â
Brent poured out a cup of tea for him. âOf course, Mrs. Miller is amazing. But luck is in play as well.
Youâve also met the newly appointed general manager of Peak Group before.â
âWho is it?â
âThe puppy on the cruise.â
Ethan might not remember much of other things, but the mention of this incident sparked his memory.
He remembered what that person almost did to Olivia that night. If that huge incident hadnât happened,
Ethan wouldnât have let him off the hook
Ethan rubbed his temples. âHis last name is Moriarty, isnât it?â
âColin Moriarty, yes.â
âWhat can a mere child do?â Ethan didnât mind him in the least.
Half an hour later, Ethan saw Olivia getting into a Maserati. The person who opened the car door for
her was none other than Colin, who was wearing a white suit.
The two smiled at each other. It had been a long while since Ethan last saw Olivia smile like that.
Ethanâs gaze turned dark. He gripped his phone so hard that he almost broke it.
