Chapter 243
At the mention of Jackson, Norma rolled her eyes. “One word-pervert.”
“He’s a pervert?”
“Yeah. He’d even give a female fly a second look, not to mention women.”
Olivia felt even more confused. Could someone like him be the mastermind?
“Did he mess with you, Ms. Fordham?” Norma asked, studying Olivia’s expression.
“No, I was just curious.”
Norma thought quickly, then said, “Thanks to you, we got another partnership in the bag. This means that we’ve completed the sales mission. He’ll be here soon.”
As she spoke, Norma pointed at a man in a suit and tie, who was standing at a corner. “Look, there he is.”

When their gazes met, Jackson studied Olivia from head to toe.
“Oh, you’re that newcomer, aren’t you? The one who bagged a huge project as soon as she joined. You’re something.” Jackson reached out to pat Olivia on the shoulder.
He was boldly trying to take advantage of her. Before he touched her shoulder, Olivia subtly dodged him. She said, calmly yet politely, “You’re too kind, Mr. Yancey.”
She met Jackson’s gaze, trying to figure something out from the look in his eyes.
He didn’t even hide his intentions. It was obvious that he wanted to harass her.
“You have a bright future ahead of you, Olivia!”
Jackson chatted a little before leaving. Before he left, he even tried to ask Olivia out for dinner after work.
Jackson had just left when Norma spoke up. “I told you, he’s a pervert. You should stay away from him, Ms. Fordham.”
“Yeah.”
Looking at Jackson, Olivia grew suspicious. She had seen the photos he sent in Sophia’s chat history. If not, she would’ve thought that she was overthinking it.
This man was good at pretending.
“Helpwith something, Norma.”
Hearing Olivia asking something of her, Norma immediately agreed. “What is it, Ms. Fordham?”
Olivia whispered in Norma’s ear. Without another thought, Norma replied, “Leave this to me. I swear that by tomorrow morning, I’ll have all the information on Jackson.
“I won’t miss any details.”
Olivia reminded her, “Remember, don’t let anyone else know about this.”
Norma thought that there were spersonal grudges between them. She hastily gestured, zipping her mouth. “Don’t worry, Ms. Fordham. My lips are sealed.”
Not long after Olivia settled the project, Ethan heard news of it.
He leaned against his chair, supporting his head with a hand as he spoke mockingly.

Brent poured out a cup of tea for him. “Of course, Mrs. Miller is amazing. But luck is in play as well. You’ve also met the newly appointed general manager of Peak Group before.”
“Who is it?”
“The puppy on the cruise.”
Ethan might not remember much of other things, but the mention of this incident sparked his memory.
He remembered what that person almost did to Olivia that night. If that huge incident hadn’t happened, Ethan wouldn’t have let him off the hook
Ethan rubbed his temples. “His last nis Moriarty, isn’t it?”
“Colin Moriarty, yes.”
“What can a mere child do?” Ethan didn’t mind him in the least.
Half an hour later, Ethan saw Olivia getting into a Maserati. The person who opened the car door for her was none other than Colin, who was wearing a white suit.
The two smiled at each other. It had been a long while since Ethan last saw Olivia smile like that.
Ethan’s gaze turned dark. He gripped his phone so hard that he almost broke it.
