Chapter 212
This was the first time Olivia had seen Ethan at work. She realized that she wasn’t the only person that he treated badly.
Sophia was scared out of her mind. She anxiously said, “Please don’t be angry, Mr. Miller. This proposal is … Olivia, you say it.”
She looked back at Olivia and saw that she had no fear in her eyes. Even her back was straight.
Olivia’s eyes were also calmly meeting with Ethan’s
-She thought Olivia was very brave!
She quickly dispelled her drifting thoughts and snapped back into reality.
Olivia saw her pleading gaze tinged with threats.
She said, “Which part of my proposal are you not satisfied with, Mr. Miller?”
Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, “You made this?”
Ethan knew she had only been working for two days.
Normally, the team leader wouldn’t even let a new employee take part in such an important job.
This proposal was linked to the quarterly evaluation and year-end bonus.
It was apparent that the team leader wanted Olivia to take the fall.
Olivia was not stupid. She said, “Yes, I took part in it.”
Sophia was not satisfied with Olivia’s words.
If she only took part in the planning of the proposal, she wouldn’t be able to take full responsibility for it.
“Which did you take part in?” Ethan asked.
In Sophia’s expectant gaze, Olivia pointed at the proposal and said earnestly, “I printed the whole thing out with my own
hands.”
Sophia was at a loss for words.
Ethan held back his smile.
He was the only one who knew her obedience was just a farce. He knew she was a fighter at heart.
He had lost count of how many times his head was hit by the things she had thrown at him.
Sophia hissed through gritted teeth, “Olivia, why are you joking in front of Mr. Miller? Why are you talking about printing?
“Aren’t you the one who suggested this proposal? Please understand, Mr. Miller. She’s still learning the ropes.”
Olivia thought about the team meeting yesterday. She was new and had unknown origins.
Sophia feared that she might be a spy from another team. She didn’t even allow Olivia to sit in the meeting.
Olivia didn’t mind. She wasn’t here to work anyway.
But she was displeased that Sophia tried to pin all the blame on her. She was angry that anyone thought they could just bully
her.
Olivia didn’t even need to speak. Ethan tapped the table with the fingers of his right hand. His gaze fell on Sophia
nonchalantly.
“Are you telling me that your team’s proposal was made by a new employee who just started?”
“That’s right, Mr. Miller.” Sophia had stood up. Her back was slightly bowed. She had a subservient expression on her face.
“If that’s the case, she should be the team leader instead.”
Chapter 212
Sophia’s expression changed immediately. “Mr. Miller, that… that isn’t a great idea. She is a new employee.
“She has no achievements on her record. She was formerly a medical student and has no experience in sales…”
Etham slammed his palm on the table and stood up. “So you do know she’s just a new employee. Yet you tell me that a proposal for a project worth millions was made by her.
“Are you mocking my company? Are you telling me that none of the veterans are better than her? What nonsense are you sprouting?”
Sophia was shaking in fright. She kept stuttering, “Mr. Miller, I-I…”
“Do it again. If I see such trash from you again, take the entire team and get out of my company.”
“Yes… yes, Mr. Miller.” Sophia quickly picked up the proposal.
Olivia left the office with Sophia without looking back. She wondered why Ethan pulled such a stunt.
Once they were back at the Team C office, Sophia said with a cloudy expression, “Come with me to my office now, Olivia.”
“Okay.”
Sophia shut the office door with a loud slam.
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 …
