CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Hearing Natalie's furious tone, Joyce looked down guiltily. “I'm sorry, Nat. I...”

“Don't apologize to me yet. Joyce, tell me why you did that. Are you going to resign? If you are, why didn't you tell me? Why did you distribute your work in secret?” Natalie's chest was heaving from agitation.

“I don't wish to resign.” Joyce suddenly began to choke on her words. “I truly don't want to resign. I'm sorry, Nat. I have my reason for doing this. I didn't tell you because I knew you would disagree. That was why I left secretly. I'm truly sorry, Nat.”

Natalie took a deep breath and tried to quell the fury in her chest before asking, “Reason? What reason prompted you to do that? We have agreed since the beginning to work together to grow the company. Why do you now abandon me? Joyce, how can you do this to me?”

Joyce opened her mouth to say something but could not speak. She could not stop crying from the guilt in her heart.

Natalie rubbed her temple and said, “It's all right, Joyce. Can you tell me what happened that you had to abandon the company we founded together? Perhaps, I can help you. That way, you might not have to suffer from it anymore.”

Joyce shook her head. “No, you can't help me. No one can help me with this.”

“How do you know I can't help if you don't tell me?” Natalie felt emotionally exhausted.
