Even After Death

Chapter 211

The matter blew up. Normally, Ethan would be communicating with the sales director if he had a problem. He wouldn’t usually call for a team leader.

Norma’s bubbly demeanor quickly turned sour.

“Olivia, I’ve said it before. You have limited experience. Since you joined Team C, you should focus on learning. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Instead, your mind seems to be filled with all sorts of nonsense. Did you make Mr. Miller angry?

“Did you think you could do whatever you wanted because you had the looks? Who do you think Mr. Miller is? Do you know what happened to the last employee that tried to seduce him?”

Olivia felt that she had been unlucky lately. Nothing was going her way.

She went to the secretary’s office once. The colleague who was all cordial before was already reprimanding her.

The words that came out of her mouth were so unpleasant.

Olivia said calmly, “I didn’t get to meet Mr. Miller. I just submitted the strategy chart to the secretary’s office.

I don’t know how I could’ve angered Mr. Miller.”

“Nothing like this ever happened when we handed in the strategy charts. Why did something happen as soon as you did it? Stop pretending. You’re the one to blame for this.”

“That’s right, you should bring her along, Ms. Linden.”

The others began chipping in. They wanted to pin everything on Olivia.

Olivia finally understood what it meant to be in the rat race.

Olivia followed beside Sophia.

Sophia said with a gloomy expression, “Olivia, you are on a three-month probation. You know what you need to do for me to pass you?”

Olivia knew. Sophia wanted her to take the fall. Did she think Ethan was stupid?

Olivia said with a cold smile, “Understood, Ms. Linden.”

The elevator doors opened. Sophia immediately bowed when she saw Brent. “Nice to see you, Mr. Ingram.”

She noticed that Olivia only nodded her head. She patted Olivia’s back to signal her to bow as well.

Brent quickly said, “Stop wasting your time. Mr. Miller is waiting for you.”

A hint of nervousness crossed Sophia’s face. “Mr. Ingram, can you please let us know what’s going on? About Mr. Miller…”

“You’ll find out when you go in.” Brent kept up his cold demeanor.

He stood at the door and said, “We’re here.”

Sophia felt weak in the knees. This was her first time at the CEO’s office.

Brent opened the door, and he said, “Mr. Miller, they’re here.”

He then turned and left.

Sophia’s legs were trembling. She began to walk stiffly.

Olivia almost burst out laughing. All traces of the arrogance that Sophia had moments ago vanished.

“M-Mr. Miller, you asked for me?” Sophia was so nervous she could barely even manage to utter a complete sentence.

Olivia’s eyes fell on the cleaner in the corner, who was cleaning the bookshelves.

Cleaners usually have fixed working hours in the morning or at night.

They don’t usually work while the boss is in the office.

She wondered why Ethan would allow someone to clean the office while he was still there. He was a man who was very concerned with his privacy, after all.

She observed the cleaner.

The cleaner had a hunched back and a bony physique. The exposed skin was tanned.

The cleaner’s head was lowered so Olivia couldn’t see the face.

An ashtray landed beside Olivia’s feet with a loud sound. It shocked her.

Sophia was so frightened that her knees gave way, and she dropped to the floor.

Ethan looked at Olivia and asked, “What’s so interesting that you had to stare?”

Olivia snapped back to reality. Ethan threw the strategy chart before Sophia.

“Is this the strategy your team came up with? A monkey can do better than that!” Ethan didn’t pull any punches when it came

to insults.
