The Silent Wife

Chapter 287

Justin purposely asked, though he already knew the answer.

Nonetheless, Rachel’s expression remained neutral. “What do you think?”

From the start, she had never masked her intentions for returning to the country. After all, Hudson Pharmaceuticals originally belonged to her parents, so she was just claiming it back on their behalf.

As for Burton Pharmaceuticals, it was just a temporary stepping-stone for her. Though she regarded the company as merely a stepping-stone, she had in fact put in a lot of effort in her work for the past few months. She hadn’t slacked off at all, so she had a clear conscience.

Just then, Rachel placed the resignation letter on Justin’s desk and calmly voiced out, “You should just treat my departure from Burton Pharmaceuticals as a regular staff turnover.”

Meanwhile, Justin didn’t respond to her words, and neither did he accept the resignation letter.

“I’ll get going, then.”

As she reached the doorway, Justin suddenly yelled out, “Rachel!”

“I’ll retain the position of general manager of Burton Pharmaceuticals for you. You can come back anytime you feel like it.”

However, Rachel opened the door and left without saying another word. I won’t come back here.

Three days later, after completing the handover process, Rachel officially relinquished her position at Burton Pharmaceuticals.

“Rae, the office is here.”

Mr. Holt personally showed Rachel to her office at Hudson Pharmaceuticals. “I’ve instructed the staff to

replace the work desk and office chair with a brand-new one, but if you find it not to your liking, then you can change it according to your preferences later on.”

“Thank you, Mr. Holt. This is good enough for me.” Rachel scanned her surroundings. “I’m not too fussed about the office environment.”

“You’re too easy going. If anyone refuses to heed your instructions, come and let me know and I’ll take care of them.”

Just then, the secretary had just finished brewing the tea and the scent from it gradually replaced the smell of brand-new furniture in the room.
