Even After Death

Chapter 179

Ethan stared deeply into Olivia’s eyes. He wanted to see what she was thinking by reading her expression.

“What do you want?”

Olivia was being too weird. He had no idea what she was plotting.

Ethan felt uneasy even though she had become more docile.

. “I already told you. I wanted to have a fresh start. I don’t want to be in the shadows my whole life.”

Olivia tugged at Ethan’s sleeve lightly. Her muffled voice came from within his embrace. “Can I?”

“Is that all you want?” Ethan said in a strained voice. He did not know what to say.

“What else can I do? Or are you saying that you’re willing to let me go and live in other cities?”

Ethan tightened his arms around her voice and said coldly, “Don’t even think about it.”

Olivia smiled bitterly in his arms. He had already said it before. Even in death, she had to stay by his side.

She closed her eyes and thought, “As you wish.”

“As you wish,” Ethan said.

The voice in Olivia’s head and Ethan’s voice were in unison.

Olivia raised her head to smile at him and said, “Are you full? Do you want to eat some more?”

“I’m fine. You should go rest.”

Olivia broke free from his embrace and said with a serious face, “How can I do that? I am going to be your secretary soon. I

need to get used to your daily routine.”

Ethan looked at her deeply. She had a serious expression. He didn’t see anything suspicious.

“Do whatever you want.”

He went back to his seat while Olivia cleaned up the food containers.

She saw Ethan make a call from the corner of her eye. Brent quickly entered the room and stood at the side, awaiting orders.

“Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller.” Brent addressed them.

“She will be my personal assistant from now on. Go and make arrangements for that.”

Brent was shocked. Olivia smiled and said, “Thanks, Brent. Also, I hope that you can keep my identity a secret.”

“Yes, Mrs. Miller.”

“I’m afraid you’ll have to change how you address me.”

Brent looked at Ethan for confirmation. Ethan nodded at him.

“Okay. My apologies. Come with me, Olivia.”

Olivia quickly followed Brent out of the room. Ethan stared at her back as she was leaving.

He decided that he would keep her close. No matter what she was plotting, she would not be able to cause any trouble with him watching.

He went back to his work after he came to that conclusion. But for some reason, he was in a better mood than before.

Olivia followed Brent to the corridor. Brent looked around and saw that nobody was near. He said, “Mrs. Mi- Are you sure you want to do this?”

“It’s better to be able to work than to be locked up at home. At least this way, I get to go out.”

Olivia shrugged and said, “I’ll be in your care then. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.”

After that, Brent took Olivia to the secretary’s office and introduced her to everyone.

The others were shocked to see a personal assistant join them out of the blue. But they welcomed her warmly.

“I’ll arrange for you to have a desk tomorrow. You can just familiarize yourself with the other people tonight.”

“Understood.”

After Brent left, the six people in the office stared at her. But since they all worked under Ethan, they didn’t ask her anything, even if they were curious.

“Olivia, I’ll brief you on Mr. Miller’s habits in a bit.”

The one who spoke was William Dante. He was in charge when Brent wasn’t around. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

He was holding a stack of documents, and his back was straight. He didn’t look like an office worker but more like an army man.

“Thanks, Mr. Dante.”

William proceeded to introduce the others to her, “This is Aaron Dante, Tiago Bingley, and Clint Bingley.”

Olivia had already heard about them before she arrived. Aaron and William were brothers. Tiago and Clint were cousins.

William pointed to the two remaining female assistants and said, “They are Grace Engel and Nancy Giles.”

“Nice to meet you, everyone. My name is Olivia Fordham. I’ll be in your care.”

Olivia introduced herself with confidence. But her eyes were watching their expressions closely.
