Chapter 45
Chloe’s resignation news spread like wildfire within The Olson Group company
As she made her way back to her office, a bunch of people surrounded her, trying to get her to change her mind.
But she was determined, not taking anyone’s advice
Of course, some folks mocked and ridiculed her, but she didn’t really care.
By the time she went through all the trouble to get back to her office, Keira and Lance were already in there.
Keira stood next to Lance, whispering instructions to the employees to clear out the office
“I don’t need this desk or the cabinet. I want brand new perfume materials, old files reprinted, and books repurchased.”
Then she turned to Lance, smiling. “Sorry, I’m just not used to using other people’s stuff”
Lance smiled back, “No problem, everything will be done as you wish”
Chloe watched them coldly feeling that Lance and Keira’s behavior was a bit off today.
It was a noticeable estrangement
“Are you daydreaming? Get moving Lance looked at the hesitating employees, frowning and scolding them softly.
The two employees glanced at each other, undecided
“You guys
“Sean” A calm voice came out.
Everyone in the office turned to the door, where Chloe had walked up to Sean
“Ms Summers
“Do you have a lighter? Chloe asked expressionlessly.
“Yes” Sean handed her a lighter.
Chloe took the lighter, opened the cabinet, pulled out a folder, and walked up to Lance
“These are the perfume recipes I’ve researched over the years. They’re all here, including the discarded and unused ones Do you see them?”
“What are you trying to do Lance slightly narrowed his eyes, watching Chloe cautiously
Chloe stared back at him, and in front of Lance, she lit all the files on fire
The flames reflected on their faces, making the scene particularly solemn
When the papers turned to ashes, Chloe returned the lighter to Sean, saying
“It’s my right to deal with my stuff, so nobody else can mess with it”
She finished, casting a cold glance at Keira, her face was gloomy
Chloe turned to Sean, Throw everything in the office away, so it doesn’t get dirtied by others.”
“Alright!” Sean hesitated but agreed.
After that, Chloe picked up her coat and bag, and calmly left the office.
Lance watched her determined figure, thought for a moment, and followed her out. He caught up with Chloe at the staircase and grabbed her hand
“Let go “Chloe frowned, her expression cold.
Lance tightened his grip on her hand instead.
“Chloe, do we really have to part on such bad terms?”
Chloe quickly withdrew her hand, stepped back to keep some distance from Lance, her face filled with indifference and mockery
“Do you mean not letting me interfere with you and Kera?”
Chloe drove straight back to her apartment, her thoughts racing as she went
She remembered the incident from six years ago that Annarie mentioned today. She was infamous back then.
Her eyes flickered, not wanting to recall the past. She took a deep breath, sped up, and her black car sped through the city streets.
As soon as Chloe entered her apartment, she took a shower
Granny Harper was right, she didn’t need to dwell on those filthy matters.
There really was nothing worthy of her lingering
But she had to take responsibility for her past She couldn’t let her past be too wronged
There were some things she couldn’t completely let go of
and one day she’d prove her innocence for her past sell
She suddenly thought of Granny Harper and a handsome face flashed through her mind
She remembered what he said yesterday
Chloe, wearing her nightgown, came out of the bathroom and sat on the couch. She took out her phone and checked it
No new messages
Tll be busy for a few days You rest well, and I call you”
His voice was unforgettable, full of captivating charm
She expressionlessly pursed her lips, feeling a bit down. Maybe he was really busy
Then she suddenly froze
Why was she expecting his call? This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She helplessly shook her head, put her phone on the table, and stood up.
As she got up, her gaze fell back on the phone. She picked it up again and walked into the bedroom.
On the 88th floor of The Harper Group’s top–level.
The spacious conference room was exquisitely decorated, exuding a luxurious atmosphere
The tension was intense and stifling!
