Even After Death Chapter 218
Lincoln looked at the mountain of pork chops on his plate. Then he looked at the sincere expression on Olivia's face. He was stumped. He couldn't tell if she didn't know or if she was just pretending. Her eyes were clear.There was not a speck of pretense in them.He thought about her age and thought it was understandable to be unclear about the rules of the dinner table.Sophia was bewildered. So that was what Olivia meant when she said she understood?She thought the negotiations were done off. Lincoln would surely be severing ties with her. But the truth was that men were exceptionally patient and accommodating to pretty women. Sophia glanced at Lincoln warily. But she saw him smiling. He was not angry at all. He said, "It must be great to be young. Such youthfulness." Sophia rolled her eyes at Olivia. Olivia pretended not to see and went back to her seat. "As long as you're okay with it, Mr. Lincoln.""Of course, how could I hate that a pretty girl brought me foo

The confidence in Lincoln's face faded. He was stunned. He had never seen such an arrogant woman in his life!He was boiling with anger, but Olivia asking him to foot the bill made him laugh instead. "Very well! Ms. Linden, I think you shouldn't bother me anymore. We'll never work together ever." "Don't, please!" Sophia was anxious. She had been negotiating with Lincoln for a very long time. She was about to succeed, but Olivia had ruined everything for her. "It's all her fault. She doesn't know anything. "Please be gracious and forgive us one more time. I've planned more interesting activities. "It'll be a pity if you leave now. I'll have her apologize to you."Lincoln's eyes were fixated on Olivia. She was indeed a gorgeous woman. He gently stroked the back of Sophia's hand and asked, "What interesting activities?"Sophia grounded her teeth and took a keycard out of her pocket. She said, "Mr. Lincoln, I've already prepared a place where we can spend the night." S

Sophia was astonished. It was the first time she had heard such outrageous statements. "You … You dare call Mr. Miller by his given name? How dare you?" "Is he a god or a martyr? Why can't I say his name?" Not only did Olivia dare to say his name. She also dared to hit him. Not only that, she's also held the company's shares. Ethan gave her some of the shares before they were divorced. She didn't have to work a day in her life. The dividends from the shares were already a hefty sum. She didn't need to sleep with Lincoln for some measly commission. "You're still young. You don't know how harsh reality can be. You'll know how little control over life you have when you're at my age."If you're still angry about me picking on you before, I'll apologize. Sometimes, I have to do things I don't want to as the team leader." Olivia was amazed. Sophia was a salesperson through and through. Forceful tactics didn't work, so she tried a softer approach. "Olivia, are you thinking of

They were the only ones in the spacious elevator. The mirrors on the sides reflected Ethan's icy expression. Olivia was trapped in a corner of the elevator and was pressured by Ethan's overwhelming presence. She dared not move. "Please show some restraint, Mr. Miller. You're already engaged to Ms. Carlton."Olivia never expected that one day, she would use the person she hated the most as an excuse.Ethan looked her in the eyes and said calmly, "I told you you don't have to worry about her." The elevator arrived at the top floor just as she wanted to say something. Ethan grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the lift. She looked at the familiar decor. Her expression changed slightly. She said, "Why did you bring me here? Do you want me to watch you while you and Marina do it? Don't be ridiculous, Ethan." Ethan pressed her finger on the fingerprint reader. The door opened. Olivia was taken aback. She didn't expect him to keep her prints on the record. She also didn'

As soon as she said that, Ethan looked at her with a prying look. His fingers traced lightly along her neck. "Jealous?""You must be joking, Mr. Miller. I am in no position to be jealous."Ethan saw the hint of disgust in her eyes. He bent over and kissed her neck. He even had the urge to bite down fiercely for a moment so that he could get rid of all of the complications between them in one bite.Olivia's resistance was apparent. Ethan raised her hands above her head. He held her chin with his fingers and said slowly, "Since you know your place, why are you resisting my touch?" Olivia frowned and said, "Why are you acting all crazy here, Ethan?" He smirked and let go of her chin. He began to unbutton her top. Olivia had a deal with him. She couldn't resist. She shouldn't resist. She could only mention the Carltons. "Ethan, you made a promise at the Carlton residence. Why are you breaking your promise and touching me now?" "What's the matter with playing around with a mistress?

Ethan traced her brows with the tip of his fingers. His dark pupils were like a deep abyss.They feel as if they would engulf her completely."What if I say I want you back now?" Ethan asked.Olivia replied without hesitation, "It's too late now."She turned away from Ethan and pointed to the scenery beneath them. She said, "You were the one who shoved me in the past down from here. You shattered everything. Including all my love and desire for you."Ethan's hands tightened around her waist. She was then pushed against the glass. He looked at her clean and pearly face. His voice was deep and icy, threatening even. "I don't care where your heart lies. All I want is you in the flesh." Ethan was like an arrogant emperor who held the life and death of his subjects in the palm of his hand. And she was like an ant before him. He only had to put his foot down to destroy her. Even his voice was filled with arrogance. "See, your willingness doesn't matter. Whatever I want to do will be

The pent-up anger overwhelmed Olivia as she glared at Ethan. "It's not like I'm your only woman. "Why does it have to be me? Marina is just right downstairs. Should I call her over?""It's because you're the only one for me!" he said aloud in his head.However, that answer was buried deep in his heart. He tightened his grasp around her waist, inhaling a deep breath.He said, "Must you put up a fight with me over this kind of matter?"Olivia barely suppressed the urge to tell him how much he disgusted her. She was aware that their relationship was as rigid as ever. Thus, she needed to keep her emotions under control.Confronting him recklessly wouldn't do her good.As an afterthought, she decided to compromise. She lowered her head. "I just … can't get used to it."Taking a step back, as she had expected, never failed to work wonders whenever facing Ethan.He watched her exposed nape. It was as if a kitty was revealing its weakness. It managed to appease his anger a little

Ethan's gaze made Olivia's skin crawl. She coughed lightly. "I saw a janitor in your office yesterday."He thought she was going to say something fluttering, but she mentioned an outsider."Olivia Fordham, are you suspecting that I'm having an affair with a janitor?" Fury seeped into his voice."What are you thinking about? I'm just curious why someone is cleaning your office during office hours. It's an important place."He replied without much thought. "Stephanie lives far from here, so she clocks off early. She cleans my office early at times when I'm working."What's the matter? You don't care about Marina, but now you care about a janitor?""Since when did Miller Group provide such good employee welfare?"Ethan was cutting his steak into pieces as he answered indifferently, "Stephanie is different. She saved my life before. It won't hurt to provide her some perks.""When? How come I didn't know about it?" Olivia put her cutleries down."Are you worried about me?" A smile
