Chapter 116 A Major Mistake at Work

Harper's expression soured as she watched Jasmine and Ethan leave. "Miss Brown..." the secretary started tentatively.

"I'll wait here," Harper responded all innocence and smiles. "I'll catch lunch with Ethan after his meeting."

And she waited, sitting on the sofa all morning. She had loved Ethan since they were kids, but he had never even looked at her.

Yet, Harper grew up with one thing clear in her mind: Ethan would marry her. Whatever

it took, she would make Ethan marry her.

The secretary nodded and exited the CEO's office. Harper sat, lost in thought.

'How could she push Jasmine out of the company?'

"Ambulance!" The commotion outside the office startled Harper.

She hurried out and grabbed someone's arm. "What's happening?"

"Mr. Douglas had an allergic reaction. He's in shock!"

She paled with fear and rushed towards the meeting room. "Is the meeting over? How could this happen so suddenly?"

"Apparently, the new assistant didn't know about Mr. Douglas's peanut allergy and offered him a peanut toffee after the meeting."

Harper's frown deepened.

'That Jasmine!'

She hesitated for a moment, and then a cunning smile appeared on her face.

'What a blunder Jasmine had made. Could she possibly stay at the company after this?'

"Don't worry, Miss Brown, the ambulance is here, and they've taken Mr. Douglas," reassured the secretary approaching her.

Harper nodded, speaking with implication. "Vittoria, how long have you been with Ethan?"
