Chapter 209
It was thanks to the Carltons that Olivia was finally free from Ethan’s control.
Although they were still in the same company, a lowly salesperson like her couldn’t possibly meet the CEO.
The only inconvenience was that she got removed from the secretary’s 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, “Why do I have to be the one to hand in the strategy chart again?”
Olivia turned and met the eyes of Norma Talbot, the person whose desk was next to hers. She was an earnest person.
“What’s wrong, Ms. Talbot?”
Norma pushed her hair behind her ear and said sheepishly, “It’s time to hand in this project’s strategy chart. As you know, we’re already the C team.
“We were ranked last in the previous month. I don’t dare to walk into the secretary’s office. I’ll be scared to death if I meet Mr. Ingram.”
“Is Mr. Ingram very intimidating?”
“You’re new, so you don’t know. If Mr. Miller is the king of hell, Mr. Ingram is the guardian of hell.
“He was so stern that he scared the cleaner’s daughter to tears last time.”
Olivia nodded thoughtfully and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll go for you. I’m new here anyway. I don’t mind being scolded.”
“You’re too kind, Olivia. Thank you so much.” 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.
“I envy how naive young people are these days. Another one who doesn’t know her place. How many have there been this year?”
Norma crossed her arms and said disdainfully, “That’s the only way to get closer to Mr. Miller.
“She probably hopes to catch his attention by being around there. Why else would anyone go to the secretary’s office and risk being scolded?”
“Tsk, if I recall correctly, the last one had her arm broken by Mr. Ingram and thrown out, right?”
“Let’s make a bet. How many days will she last before she quits?”
“I’ll take that action. Loser buys everyone lunch.” 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 secretary’s office.
The secretaries who were busy with work looked at her when she entered.
Nancy winked at her and said, “I heard you transferred to the sales department, Ms. Fordham. Was it because you didn’t like us?”
Olivia smiled and said, “Of course not. I thought I wasn’t capable enough for this position.
“I didn’t want to cause trouble for Mr. Miller. So I transferred to the sales department to work on myself.”
“What a pity. You were a sight for sore eyes. You were gone too soon.”

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 must’ve been someone’s orders. How else could she just change jobs so easily?
That was why she didn’t mind getting closer to Olivia. “Olivia, surely you’re not here to chat. How can we help?”
“Ms. Giles, this is our team’s strategy chart. Can you please hand it to Mr. Miller for me?”
Nancy thought about it for a while and quickly understood. “Leave it to me. Be careful in the sales department. The people there are all very cunning.”
“Thanks, Ms. Giles.”
Olivia took out the presents that she had prepared. For the men, she had tie cl*ps. For the women, she prepared brooches.
“I thought I would be here, so I had prepared presents. Please take one, Ms. Giles.”
“I love thoughtful people like you!” Nancy toyed with the brooch and said, “Thanks.”
Olivia proceeded to hand the presents to the others. They knew she was somehow related to Ethan, so they didn’t dare to
refuse.
Olivia stopped before Grace. She noticed that Grace had been working the whole time she was there. She didn’t even spare a look at her.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
