Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 173

Hamilton's face turned sour at a pace that was visibly alarming.

Tess didn't even dare to cry.

"Mr. Fowler, Ms. Jenkins has resigned, just now, she hasn't been gone long."

Hamilton's brow twitched violently.

He turned and strode out of the marketing department.

Once outside, he dialed up Natalia on his work phone.

After leaving the company, Natalia had gotten into Caspian's car.

Caspian was there to update her on the latest developments in their case.

When her phone rang, Natalia frowned slightly.

Caspian chuckled, "Hamilton?"

Natalia nodded.

"Take the call, see if he wants to talk about the case."

Natalia stared at the incessantly ringing phone, and eventually picked up.

"Mr. Fowler."

The formality in her tone made Hamilton's brow furrow again.

But now was not the time to quibble about titles. "Natalia, who gave you permission to resign without my consent?"

There was a light laugh from Natalia, as if she had expected this call to be about exactly that. Her voice instantly grew colder.

"Mr. Fowler, I've completed my handover, and the severance fee has been paid. We've met the conditions for a mutual termination. If you really find that unreasonable, please have your legal department contact Mr. Spiegel directly." Hamilton massaged his temples. He didn't want to argue with Natalia.

Her departure had been inevitable, and now, he was truly out of options when it came to her.

At this point, all he could do was to try and keep his temper in check. "Natalia, where did you get the money to pay the fee?"

"You just take the money, Mr. Fowler. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it. And since I've resigned, there's no need for future contact, so please don't disturb my life."

Natalia was about to hang up when Hamilton quickly interjected.

"Where are you? I want to see you."

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to meet you."

Natalia ended the call with efficiency.
