His Ex Called and He Ran, His Rival Called and I Ran Straight to Him Chapter 07

I nearly choked.

“Felix, I think you’re the one who has lost your mind.”

“Where did that accusation come from?”

One corner of his mouth lifted in a cold smile..

His tone was certain.

“If you didn’t cheat, why did you call him?”

“And why are you so desperate to get Tanya and me out of this room?”

“What else could it be except guilt?”

He looked around.

“Is he still hiding here?”

Then Felix actually began searching.

Behind the curtains.

Under the bed.

The room could be seen in one glance, but he circled it three times.

I stared at him.

For the first time, I genuinely wondered whether Felix had lost all sense of reason.

He had abandoned his girlfriend in pain so he could care for an intern.

Now he had come to interrogate me.

Tanya caught his sleeve and gave me a wounded look.

“Felix, don’t be angry.”

“Olivia would never betray you.”

“She’s only upset.”

“This is all my fault.”

“How could I be careless enough to scratch my finger?”

“It’s all my fault.”

She rubbed anxiously at the injured finger, her eyes red.

Felix immediately stopped her hand.

“Tanya, none of this is your fault.”

“If anyone is responsible, it’s me for indulging Olivia too much.”

“Let’s go.”

I blinked.

Indulging whom?

Me?

Felix picked up the soup with one hand and guided Tanya toward the door with the other.

Before leaving, he turned back.

“Olivia, you don’t need to hire an actor to make me jealous.”

“If you’re threatened by your own best friend, then you need to take a serious look at yourself.”

“And one more thing.”

“Three consecutive no-call, no-show absences count as job abandonment at Carter Group.”

“No exceptions.”

The door slammed hard enough to shake the room.

I almost laughed.

An actor?

Ethan Ross was worth billions.

I couldn’t afford to hire him for an afternoon.

Jealous?

Maybe once.

But why would I be jealous over an ex-boyfriend?

And job abandonment?

My resignation had already been approved.

My final contractual payout was in my account.

For the next two weeks, Felix and Tanya left me alone.

Ethan, however, showed up twice a day with meals prepared by a private chef.

A man in his position had a schedule measured in millions.

Every hour he spent at my bedside had real financial value.

I studied his handsome face and that constantly gentle smile.

A nervous chill moved through me.

Yes, Ross Group had recruited me with an extraordinary compensation package.

But I was still only an employee.

Why would Ethan go this far?

Unless Ross Group had hired me for some secret corporate experiment no one had bothered to mention.

The suspicion became more ridiculous by the day.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to wonder for long.

I soon discovered the real reason.

Ethan Ross planned to use my presence as leverage.
