Chapter 187 Ethan Takes Jasmine on a Vacation

Ethan, as if he had anticipated Howard's move, leaned back in his chair with a

nonchalant demeanor. "I have indeed been overworked lately. It's touching that my father is so considerate, wanting to give me a break... I really appreciate it... Thanks for stepping up, Daniel."

Ethan offered a faint smile and signed his name on the resignation form that Liam had brought.

"But someone who's already quit without my approval to leave now considering a return..." Ethan was butting heads with Howard now.

Clara was well aware that anyone who wanted to return after Ethan's approval to depart had to go through HR's scrutiny all over again.

If Ethan was this confident, there was no way he'd let Branson come back. And even if Branson were to be rehired, it wouldn't be in the same position.

"Ethan, why don't you go home and rest up? I can handle things at the office just fine without you," Daniel said with a hint of arrogance.

Ethan raised an eyebrow, stood up, and adjusted his watch. "I'm out."

Jasmine and Liam exchanged a glance before quickly following Ethan. "Mr. Ethan..."

"Cancel all my appointments, except for the banquet at Huihai," Ethan said, casting a brief look at Jasmine before continuing, "Tell our partners that I'm sick."

Jasmine took a deep breath. "Mr. Ethan... you're giving Daniel a chance. What if he actually takes over your position?"

"He'll have to be capable enough for that," Ethan said with a scoff.

"Liam, you stay and handle the follow-up. Jasmine and I are on vacation." Inside the elevator, Ethan had a relaxed demeanor with a touch of smugness.

Liam looked confused. "Why is Jasmine getting a vacation too?"

"She's my personal assistant, of course, here to assist with my life. You, on the other hand, are versatile keep up the good work," Ethan said, blocking Liam from the elevator and closing the doors.

Jasmine was slightly panicked as she anxiously looked at Ethan. "Mr. Ethan, are you sure about this?"

Ethan assured her, saying, "I've got everything arranged. Starting now, don't worry about anything. Just focus on enjoying our vacation."

"What?" Jasmine was flustered. "The heiress of Huihai Corporation's wedding banquet is in Bali..."
