Even After Death

Chapter 216

Olivia asked because she thought it was strange. She didn’t expect a real answer.

“What background would a cleaner have?”

“I heard that she saved Mr. Miller’s life before.”

Olivia was fascinated, “But why is she only a cleaner if she saved his life?”

“She had no one. She’s used to the job. That’s why she kept doing it.

“But she only cleans Mr. Miller’s office. There’s not much to clean. The load is fairly light.”

Olivia nodded and said, “I see.”

She talked with the cleaner for a little bit more, then left. She made a mental note of the mysterious cleaner.

Evening came. Olivia tagged along with Sophia to meet Lincoln.

Sophia was touching up her makeup in the car. She threw occasional glances at Olivia.

“Olivia, I see that you’re still young. If you can secure this deal with Mr. Lincoln tonight, I’ll forgive what you did yesterday.”

“Is he hard to negotiate with?”

“For other people, yes. But for a pretty woman like you, it’s a different matter.”

Sophia was finished with her makeup and leaned toward Olivia.

Olivia could smell the heavy perfume she was wearing. The perfume made her feel a little suffocated.

She furrowed her brows.

“Olivia, it’s easier for women to climb the ladder than men. We have inherent advantages that men don’t have. Do you understand what I mean?”

Sophia had a complicated look in her eyes.

Olivia was not dumb. She knew what Sophia was talking about.

“I understand.”

“I think you’re a smart woman, too. You won’t disappoint me, right?”

Olivia wanted to tell Sophia that she didn’t care if she was disappointed. But she saw that they were arriving at their destination, so she held her tongue.

She didn’t want to cause another scene.

“Yeah.”

“I’ll be waiting for your good news, Olivia.” Sophia looked at Olivie from head to toe again.

The simple work attire worn by Olivia exuded a professional charm. Her well-proportioned figure was alluring

Even as a woman, Sophia couldn’t help but be tempted by Olivia’s legs in stockings.

Sophia was sure that an old pervert like Lincoln would succumb to Olivia’s charms.

In the Golden Horizon Hotel, Olivia was carrying a file folder.

She was deep in thought while following behind Sophia.

Sophia thought that was because Olivia had never been to such a luxurious hotel.

She whispered to Olivia, “Olivia, after you get Mr. Lincoln to sign the contract, I’ll make you a permanent employee.

“As long as you stay with our company, you can stay at hotels like these whenever you want.”

Olivia didn’t tell her that Ethan prepared a penthouse suite on the top floor of the hotel.

It was a special suite designed according to her preferences and featured everything from an infinity pool to a rooftop garden.

It was as luxurious as a suite could get.

Now that she thought about it. Ethan really used to dote on her.

As she was thinking of the good old days when she was with Ethan, she saw Marina holding Ethan’s arm when she looked up.

They were walking toward a private elevator from the restaurant.

Her eyes met with Ethan’s, but she quickly looked away. It was like they didn’t know each other.

Olivia accidentally dropped the file folder. She quickly crouched down to pick up the documents that were scattered on the floor.

Sophia was annoyed. “Olivia, you can’t afford to be so careless when we meet Mr. Lincoln.”

“I’ll go touch up my makeup.” Olivia quickly went to the washroom.

She thought she had already let go of her feelings for Ethan.

But whenever she saw him with another woman, her heart ached uncontrollably. That was the man who used to love her and her only.

Her fingers clenched when she thought about Ethan bringing Marina to the place she used to love visiting Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The thought of Marina using her bathtub, wearing her robe, and sleeping with her man. It was unbearable.

It was only natural. There was no way she could’ve let go of the feelings she felt so strongly for years in just a couple of

months.

Sophia knocked on the washroom door and said, “Olivia, what’s taking you so long? Let’s not keep Mr. Lincoln waiting.”
