"Is there a problem here?" I asked, my voice cutting through the lobby.

I didn't wait for an answer. I took in the entire scene in less than two seconds.

I saw the way Olivia stood. Her shoulders were pulled back tight, her feet planted firm on the marble floor, but her hands were clasped so hard her knuckles were completely white. Her eyes were wide, filled with a deep, quiet terror that she was fighting with everything she had.

Then I looked at the man standing in front of her.

  • The Billionaire’s Plus Size Redemption    Chapter 165;A Surprise Worth the Wait

    Olivia pov;We took the private executive elevator down to the underground parking garage in comfortable silence. The garage was cool and dim, echoing with the faint sound of water dripping near the far wall. Ethan's black town car was parked in its usual spot, the engine idling with a low, steady hum. The driver stepped out immediately, pulling the rear door open for us.I slid into the soft leather backseat, resting my briefcase carefully on the floor by my feet. Ethan climbed in beside me,closing the door with a solid, muffled thud.As the car glided out of the underground garage and merged into the evening traffic of the Kingsbridge District, I turned my head to look out the window. The streets of Riverton were alive with the end-of-day rush. Yellow cabs honked their horns, pedestrians in heavy coats hurried across the crosswalks toward the subway stations, and glowing neon store signs flickered on against the darkening concrete facades.The car climbed the bridge leading away fro

    Olivia pov;"Please step back inside, Miss Bennett," Victor Hale said, pulling the heavy mahogany door fully open.I took a deep breath, gripped the handle of my leather briefcase, and walked back into the boardroom. My heart thudded hard against my ribs, but my steps remained steady. Every single director was seated around the massive oval table. Their eyes turned toward me as I stopped in the center of the room.Near the doorway behind me, Ethan leaned against the wall with his hands casually in his pockets, watching quietly. He had stepped out during the vote to keep everything completely fair, but now he was back, waiting with a calm, unreadable expression."The board has completed its review," Victor announced, resting his hands flat on the polished wood. He looked down at a single white paper report before lifting his gaze back to me. "We have taken a formal vote regarding your application for the position of Chief of Staff."The silence in the room stretched out so long that I

    Ethan pov;"Are you entirely certain about this, Ethan?" Victor Hale's voice called out from the doorway just before I pulled the heavy mahogany doors shut behind me.I turned around in the carpeted hallway, keeping my face completely calm as I looked at the Chairman of the Board. "I am certain, Victor. The decision belongs to you and the directors.""It's unorthodox for a CEO to walk out of a leadership review," Victor noted, narrowing his eyes slightly over his silver-rimmed glasses."It's necessary," I answered, my voice steady. "Let the board judge her record on its own merits."Victor gave a slow, respectful nod and stepped back inside the room, pulling the thick wooden doors closed.The heavy latch clicked into place with a sharp, final sound, sealing off the boardroom from the rest of the executive floor.I stood alone in the quiet hallway for a moment, adjusting the cuffs of my crisp white shirt. Then, I turned and walked toward the glass railing overlooking the lower stories o

    Olivia pov The Chairman of the Board looked sharp, wearing a tailored charcoal suit and his signature silver-rimmed glasses."Good morning, Miss Bennett," Victor greeted me, a crisp and professional tone in his voice."Good morning, Mr. Hale," I replied, keeping my posture straight and my briefcase gripped firmly in my hand."The board has received your digital portfolio," Victor said, tapping his finger against the leather folder. "I must say, your catalog of crisis management and operational restructuring is exceptionally thorough. Following our preliminary discussions, I have officially called a special board session to formally consider your application for the position of Chief of Staff."My pulse gave a sharp jump, but I kept my face calm. "Thank you, Mr. Hale. I am ready to present my record.""Let's go inside then," Victor said, pushing open the heavy mahogany doors.The main boardroom was already packed. Ten senior board members sat around the massive oval table, their paper

    Olivia pov;"Are you still staring at those spreadsheets, Olivia? The sun went down few hours ago," Sophia said, pushing open my office door and setting a steaming paper cup of black coffee on the corner of my desk.I blinked, tearing my eyes away from the glowing monitor where three columns of financial data flashed in bright blue and white. I rubbed my tired eyes with the back of my hand and looked up at Sophia."I'm just making sure every single number is airtight," I answered, my voice tight with nervous energy. "Victor Hale and the board won't just glance at this presentation. They are going to examine every line item for the Chief of Staff evaluation tomorrow morning."Sophia pulled up a chair across from my desk, resting her hands on her knees. Her warm hazel eyes studied my face with quiet understanding. "You saved the company's northern logistics division from collapsing, you restructured executive operations, and you survived a public trial while managing a multi-million-do

    Ethan pov"I calculated them myself, Mr. Collins," Olivia answered smoothly, her voice cool and precise. "If you look at column four, you'll see I factored in a six percent inflation margin on fuel costs and a twelve percent delay buffer for international shipping. If you'd like, I can walk you through the math."Ryan looked at the screen, blinked in surprise, and slowly lowered his hand. "No... that won't be necessary. The math is spotless."Victor Hale looked around the table. "If there are no further questions, Miss Bennett, please step outside for a few moments while the board deliberates.""Thank you, gentlemen," Olivia said gracefully. She gathered her remote, gave a polite nod, and walked out of the boardroom, closing the heavy mahogany doors behind her.The moment the doors shut, Victor Hale looked around at the ten board members."Well?" Victor asked, his voice echoing in the silent room. "We have a motion for the promotion of Olivia Bennett to Vice President of Executive Ope
