Through rehab, Amelia had begun to open up about her finances. Rebecca was finally coming to terms with the fact that May hadn’t been exaggerating; her mother was genuinely wealthy.

The asset transfer agreement she’d seen before represented only a fraction of her mother’s total fortune. A significant amount was still unaccounted for,

Amelia assured Rebecca there was no need to worry about money ever again and encouraged her to focus solely on building the life she wanted. She even mentioned that if Rebecca wanted to quit her job, the penalty fee would be trivial.

So lost in these revelations, Rebecca barely registered the car pulling up to Rebecca’s Manor. Once they arrived, she stepped out and headed straight for the villa.

After Victor informed her that Jeffrey wasn’t home yet, she decided to go upstairs for a shower and a change of clothes.

It was exactly nine o’clock when Jeffrey finally showed up, cutting a sharp figure in his suit.

Victor stepped forward, “Mr. Hanson, Ms. Jensen’s waiting for you in the study. She wants to talk to you.”

Jeffrey glanced up at the second floor, his eyes unreadable, and gave a slight nod.

A few moments later, the study door creaked open.

Rebecca looked up when she heard the sound. Jeffrey stepped inside, unbuttoning his suit jacket. His dark eyes were unreadable, his voice low and steady as ever. “Victor said you wanted to talk?”

“Yeah,” Rebecca nodded.

Jeffrey hung his jacket up and turned to face her. “What is it?”

Noticing Jeffrey’s calm demeanor, Rebecca didn’t beat around the bush. “I want to resign–I need to be at the hospital to take care of my mom.”

Jeffrey’s movements were smooth as he rolled up his shirt sleeves, forearms flexing. “The doctor said she’ll be up and walking in a month. I’ll approve a month’s leave for you. No need to hand in your resignation.”

Rebecca shook her head, her voice firm. “I really want to quit.”

Rebecca thought to herself, ‘Is there really any other way to leave besides quitting? I know it’s not very responsible to PrimePlay Technologies, but with that 3–million penalty fee, they can easily find someone who’s even better than me to take over.

Jeffrey took a sip of water, sounding as steady as usual. “I thought you really liked this job. It’s the first game you ever worked on, and you even went out of town for training because of it.

“Are you sure you want to walk away just like that?”
