The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 4

Jake was one of Franklin’s personal secretaries. The resignation letter surprised him greatly.

He was among the few at the company who knew about Maggie and Franklin’s relationship. Anyone close to Franklin knew his heart wasn’t with Maggie.

After marriage, he remained cold toward her, rarely coming home. To get closer to and win over Franklin, Maggie had chosen to work at Franklin’s company.

Her initial goal was to become his personal secretary. But Franklin refused.

Even the old master’s intervention couldn’t sway him. Finally, Maggie had to settle for joining the secretarial department as one of many ordinary secrétaries.

Initially, Jake worried she would cause chaos in the department. But the result surprised

him.

Though Maggie would use her position to get closer to Franklin, she chose her moments wisely and never pushed too far.

Instead, perhaps hoping to earn his respect, she worked diligently and showed remarkable capability. Whether during pregnancy or other times, she followed company procedures, never seeking special treatment.

Over the years, she became the department’s team leader. Jake had always observed her feelings for Franklin. Honestly, he never imagined she would resign. He couldn’t believe she would willingly leave.

Her resignation now probably meant something had happened between them, unknown to

him, leading to Franklin forcing her out.

Despite her strong capabilities, Jake maintained professional courtesy, “I’ll take your resignation and arrange for your replacement soon.”

“Alright.” Maggie nodded and returned to her desk.
