From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 39

“Mm-hmm.”

“At lunch, Susan will stop by with your meal, and I’ll swing by to pick you up after work. If anything comes up, just give me a call.”

Ethan Carter’s lips curled into a gentle, easy smile.

It wasn’t a big grin, but somehow it just put people at ease.

Olivia Bennett unbuckled her seatbelt, half-laughing as she replied, “I know, Mr. Carter, you literally just told me all this.”

Ethan Carter arched an eyebrow. “Did I?”

“Yes, you did,” Olivia insisted, hopping out of the car and flashing him a bright smile. She waved. “Bye, Mr. Carter! Drive safe!”

She turned and hurried off.

Ethan’s dark eyes softened as he watched her go. He was just reaching for the ignition when he saw Olivia pause at the studio door and wave back at him from across the lot.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, waving in return, a little more enthusiastically this time.

Only when he saw Olivia disappear inside did he finally pull away.

Inside the studio, Olivia found Helen Adams and three others already waiting.

“Olivia! You’re here!” Helen called out, hurrying over with her usual burst of energy.

The other three stood up as well. Since they were a bit older than Olivia, they didn’t echo Helen’s casual greeting. Hill, the more reserved one, nodded politely. “Ms. Bennett.”

They’d all been chatting online over the past week, so Olivia felt pretty comfortable with them by now.

She glanced around, matching names to faces.

There were two makeup artists—Fannie Parker and Davina Ford—and the photographer, Bonnie Main. All of them had that classic, wholesome Aileen look.

With a warm smile, Olivia handed out four little envelopes. “First day on the job—everyone gets a welcome bonus.”
