Chapter 232
In the past, Olivia would’ve checked Ethan’s injury or given him a massage on the head immediately.
However, she didn’t do the same today.
Even though their divorce was the result of a scheme and Jeff’s hospitalization had nothing to do withEthan, 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, “Mr. Miller, I brought theproposal.”
He didn’t open his eyes as he furrowed his brows. “Come here.”
She came to his side. “If you’re tired, I can read the proposal for you.”
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 asMrs. Miller.
Yet, Ethan was hugging his ex-wife in his office.
Olivia was completely confused by the situation.
“Mr. Miller, what are you doing?” 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.
“I heard that you became the talk of the company,” he said.
“It’s more or less related to you,” she responded.novelbin
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 withSophia.
If the culprit was Sophia, she would’ve 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 wouldn’t have gotten changed and there wouldn’t havebeen such a controversy in the first place.
Ethan arched his eyebrow. “Are you blaming me?”
“I don’t dare to.”
“But it’s also proof that you’re a ‘capable’ person. It hasn’t been a week since you’ve been workinghere, but you’ve offended everyone in your department.”
He tucked her hair to the back of her ear, noticing that her hair had grown longer.
He whispered to her, “You said you wanted to start anew and give your best at work, but …”
He dragged his voice as the glint in his eyes turned colder. “I don’t think that you’re doing your job wellby turning everyone into your enemy and becoming ferocious.

“Olivia Fordham, don’t take me as an idiot. What’s your objective of coming to Miller Group?”
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 shetold him everything right now.
She swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue, feigning grievance. “I’m here to work, but I can onlydo something if someone gives me the chance to.
“You saw it. They’re bullying me-a newcomer-for not having a powerful background. They wanted tomake me into a scapegoat, but I refused. So, they’re framing me.”
The more she said, the angrier she became. “You saw Mr. Lincoln last night. He’s old enough to be myfather and yet he wanted me to accompany him.
“If I didn’t scold him, he would’ve taken advantage of me however he wanted.”
Looking at her upset expression, Ethan frowned. “Who said you don’t have a powerful background?”
He initially turned a blind eye to it because he was hoping for her to return to his side from the pressureof getting bullied.
Yet, she transformed into a fierce cat that almost turned everything upside down.
Olivia looked at him with beady eyes. “Mr. Miller, are you on my side?”
Ethan’s 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, “That is if you’re willing toaccept my support.”
