When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 123

With her hands on her knees overlapping each other, the woman turned towards me after a brief pause. “I am here to tender my formal resignation, Ms. Stovall!”

I widened my eyes in surprise. “I didn’t think you’d give up on this job so easily, especially after how hard you’ve worked.”

Everyone makes mistakes, but you don‘t have to leave because of it! Just fix it and move on! 

I was starting to grow anxious when she kept quiet. “What’s your reason for leaving?”

“I might be getting married soon, and my husband wants me to stay home and look after the family.” Judging by her regretful tone of voice, I could tell that she was actually reluctant to resign.

“But you haven’t got kids, right? You can still work after getting married! Besides, you’ll probably find it difficult adjusting to life without work.”

Grandpa had also wanted me to stay at home back then... I know he meant well. He didn‘t want me to overwork myself, but I couldn‘t stand watching Ashton and Rebecca being so close to each other every day! = 

Stacey nodded and flashed me a faint smile. “I’m sorry, but I’ve already made up my mind. Thank you for all your support and guidance during my time here, Ms. Stovall.”

Having no reason to try and stop her any further, I nodded and said, “Very well, then. Email me your resignation letter and then hand over your work.”

She gave me a nod of acknowledgment and began walking out of my office. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and turned around all of a sudden. “Ms. Stovall, things are not as simple as they seem with Fuller Corporation’s audit and HiTech.”

I looked at her in confusion, but she had left before I could ask her what she meant by that.

 I keep forgetting things, and I can‘t even think straight at times... I know there‘s something wrong with Fuller Corporation‘s audit and HiTech, but I can‘t quite point out what it is. Oh well... Ashton won‘t discuss work at home, so I guess I‘ll
