Chapter 55
"Why am I the last one to arrive? Am I at work or at home, coming in whenever I feel like it?" Olivia Brooks pointed to the clock on the wall. Olivia Brooks pointed to the clock on the wall, grim-faced, nonchalant and accusatory, in the manner of a Carter Corporation matriarch.
Emma sneered, thinking that if Ethan Carter knew what Olivia Brooks was up behind the scenes, she'd never be so high and mighty again. "I don't think he's late, is he? Besides, even if he was late, what does that have to do with me? Even if you want to deduct money, you should go to the HR department."
She raised an eyebrow and countered with a sharp tongue, Olivia Brooks froze for a moment, unable to say a word, only stomping her feet in place in anger.
The two of them were at a standstill when Ethan walked slowly up to the table, and Olivia Brooks was no longer as aggressive as she had been before, but rather as a docile. little sheep.
"Ms. Emma, he's doing what's best for the company, I hope you understand." She pretended to be pitiful, as if she had been wronged.
"Of course he understands, after all, he is also a member of the company." The corner of Emma's mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile, and she bluntly countered.
"Ethan, I'm coming!" Olivia Brooks cried out, and Emma huffed, Olivia Brooks' acting was so obvious that any fool could see it, let alone Ethan, who had been in the business world for years.
Once upon a time, there was only room in Ethan's heart for Olivia Brooks, and he would willingly believe anything she said, faulting her for having a beautiful filter on her. But as time passes and he loses interest in the woman, the filter slowly fades.
Emma's gaze quickly averted from Ethan's, and the sympathy in her eyes puzzled him. She walked past them towards the design department, and Ethan returned to his office, still pondering over Emma's sympathetic and thoughtful look.
"Get Emma over here." He said to his assistant.

She walked past them towards the design department, and Ethan returned to his office, still pondering over Emma's sympathetic and thoughtful look.
"Get Emma over here." He said to his assistant.
Soon, there was a knock at the door, "Come in." He looked up at the door.
Emma pushed her way in, "What did Mr. Carter want to see me about?" She asked tentatively.
"What can I do for you?" Ethan was acutely aware that she looked a little odd today.
"I......" She was about to speak when the office door was opened again and Olivia Brooks walked in with papers in her hand. When she saw that Emma was there, a flash of color crossed her face.
She'd seen Emma almost every time she'd come to Ethan's office since she'd started, and it made her feel very unhappy. Considering that Ethan didn't like to talk about personal matters in his office, Olivia Brooks had obviously come prepared, and had no qualms about taking over a job that should have been handled by her assistant.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Ethan, I've got something here I'd like to brief you on." She stepped between Emma and Ethan, oblivious to the inappropriateness of her actions, and began to give a detailed report on the recent state of the company.
Emma tugged helplessly at the corner of her mouth, feeling a little awkward standing next to her, so she stood up and gestured to Ethan, turning around and walking out of the office.
After leaving Ethan's office, Emma began to seriously think about what had just happened, thinking that she shouldn't tell him, even if she did, he might not believe her, and might think that she was intentionally trying to provoke the relationship between them.
