Chapter 180
Olivia thought that the secretaries would be her suspects if the person who manipulated her life was indeed hiding close to Ethan.
Olivia was observing their expressions to see if they would reveal their true colors. But they were calm and composed.
They greeted her and went back to work.
Olivia touched her wrist. Was she wrong about that?
She decided not to rush things. She decided to probe Grace first. She was the most recently recruited secretary other than herself.
Olivia moved next to Grace. Grace’s attitude towards her wasn’t particularly friendly. But she also didn’t look down on her.
Olivia spent nearly two hours next to all the secretaries. She wasn’t able to find anything suspicious about them.
Brent allowed them to go hafter they did overtuntil 9:00 pm.

It seemed like she was headed to a bar and was asking someone to save her a seat.
She saw Olivia looking at her and gestured to Olivia with her chin. “You wanna cwith me? It’s a new bar. Lots of handsguys. It can be your welcparty.”
Olivia didn’t expect her to get friendly so suddenly. She waved her hands and said, “I can’t. I still have sdocuments to tend to. I haven’t even memorized Mr. Miller’s preferences yet.”
Nancy withdrew her gaze from Olivia and said, “Alright, maybe next time.”
Nancy was already walking away while talking.
Aaron put his palm on his forehead and said, “Stay away from her. She’s a bad influence. She flirts with men all the time.”
Olivia smiled sheepishly and looked at Grace.
Grace was not a particularly beautiful woman. She looked very different compared to Nancy’s charming appearance.
She reminded Olivia of a teacher’s pet. Someone who wears glasses and has plain looks but always excelled academically.
Grace was packing her stuff up calmly.
Her desk was very neat. It was like she had obsessive–compulsive disorder. Every single document was arranged neatly.
She felt Olivia’s gaze and looked at Olivia. Then, she said emotionlessly, “How can I help you?”
Her voice was calm. Olivia wasn’t able to discern any emotion from her words. It was like she was a robot.
Even though her tone was flat, her words sent chills down Olivia’s spine.
Olivia smiled innocently at her and said, “Ms. Engel, your earrings are so pretty! I couldn’t help but stare at them. Where did you buy them?”
The earrings were the only accessory on Grace’s person. They were small and shaped like roses.
There were diamonds in the center of the earrings that shined brightly.
“These are custom–made as per Mr. Miller’s order. They were my year–end bonus for the year before.” Grace said in a calm
voice.

Grace glanced at her and left after slinging her backpack on.
William chipped in and said, “Don’t think too much about it. She has always been cold.”
Olivia said gently, “Does this mean she’s always been like that?”
“That’s right. I’ve barely ever seen her smile since she started working here. Although she’s a cold person, she works rather efficiently.”
They chatted for a little bit more. Olivia was the last one to leave the office.
She didn’t go far and waited at the underground parking lot.
Ethan rolled down the car window and said coldly, “Get in.”
Olivia followed him back to the Miller residence.
This was the first tthey went hfrom work together.
Olivia was deep in thought on the ride home. The people she met at the office today all had different personalities.
They all looked suspicious in their own way.
“Having regrets?” Ethan had been typing on his laptop since he got in the car. It was unexpected for him to show her concern.
He adjusted his glasses and said, “You can still change your mind now.”
