Chapter 782

Selena glanced at the paper in front of her-it was a resignation letter. She didn't grab it right away. Instead, she picked up her teacup, gently blew the steam off the top, and took a sip before speaking, "What's the reason?"

Holt lowered her head, her voice rough with emotion. "Ma'am, I'm really sorry. I failed to protect you."

If Mr. Everett hadn't stepped in yesterday, things could have gone really wrong. Holt felt deeply responsible for what happened.

She paused, thinking it over. "How about docking a month's salary as punishment? Does that sound fair?"

Holt's tears fell instantly. Ms. Selena was genuinely kind-hearted. Having such a boss was a stroke of luck.

She promised earnestly, "Ma'am, I'll never leave your side again."
