Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Surprising Guest

The day passed quickly with the flurry of important preparations, and soon the workday was coming to an end.

The moment Natalie closed her laptop, signaling she was ready to leave, Nora spoke up hesitantly. "Ms. Natalie?"

Natalie turned to her and immediately noticed the nervousness etched across Nora’s face. "Hmm?"

Nora fidgeted, her unease growing under Natalie’s calm but piercing gaze. "I... I have something to tell you..."

Natalie glanced at her watch. "If it’s not urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Nora swallowed hard, her hands trembling slightly. "I... need to tell you today. It’s important."

Natalie waited, giving her the time to gather her words. Finally, Nora pulled something from her file and handed it to her—a white envelope.

"I... am resigning," Nora said, her voice shaky.

Natalie took the envelope but didn’t open it. She simply raised an eyebrow, silently waiting for an explanation.

"I..." Nora began nervously, her voice barely above a whisper. "I’ve been betraying you... for a while now. Those rumors—the ones that caused all the issues—they were my fault. I was the one who leaked the information."

Her voice cracked, but she continued. "I know I don’t deserve to work with you anymore. If you want, you can even file a complaint with the police. Please, just accept my resignation."

Natalie’s expression remained unreadable as she listened. She accepted the envelope but said nothing, allowing Nora to continue.

"I’m so sorry for what I did, despite the trust you placed in me," Nora said, her guilt evident. "I’ll pay for what I’ve done. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you. I’ll leave now. My address is in the system if you need to find me."

She turned toward the door, her steps heavy with shame. Just as she reached it, Natalie’s calm voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Won’t you explain why you did it?"
