Countdown to My Divorce

Chapter 28

Rachel raised an eyebrow, her tone light as she said, “Whether I leave or not, you need to start protecting yourself. Don’t overdo it, and especially don’t argue with your boss in front of everyone.”

She admired Cecilia for her boldness, even if it wasn’t always what people wanted. Her team didn’t need people like Samantha, who whispered behind everyone’s backs.

Cecilia’s eyes started to water. “I understand, Honestly, Rachel, why don’t you just leave for LS Enterprise? Ever since Samantha came here, everything’s been a mess.”

Rachel quickly covered her mouth. “Don’t say things like that. Pack up and wait for me to contact you. Right now, Mr. Lewis is upset. It’s not the right time to bring it up.”

Besides, there was no telling when Samantha might pop up again.

Cecilia nodded. “Okay.”

Later that afternoon, the HR department posted an announcement Samantha would be taking over Rachel’s position as project director.
