Could her baby grow up without a father like her?
What could she do?
She would resign. She wouldn't be Marley's secretary, since she just wanted to be an architect.
Sylvie wrote the resignation letter last night, typed it out, and put it in an envelope. She went to the company early in the morning.
Tyler was a little surprised to see Sylvie in the morning. "Secretary Sylvie, aren't you in America with the president?"
"I'm home in advance!" Sylvie said with a faint smile. "Mr. Cooper, I chose two people in the United States. Let's go to the office to talk about it!"
"Well!" Tyler was a little surprised that she suddenly came back. What about Marley? Why didn't they come back together? They couldn't have been quarreling, could they?
Sylvie went into Tyler's office. She handed the documents to Marley, gave him the numbers, and introduced the background of the candidates.
Tyler was a little puzzled. "Secretary Sylvie, you can be responsible for it."
"I'm quitting, Mr. Cooper. I'm no longer a secretary. This is my resignation letter. Please help me to give it to him." Sylvie explained.
"You're quitting?" Tyler looked at her resignation letter in puzzlement, "Why do you quit?"
"I'm not good at doing business. It's not my interest. Mr. Cooper, please. I'm going!"
"Well! Secretary Sylvie. I think you'd better give it to Marley yourself. It's not up to me!" Tyler stood up and had no idea what happened.
"It doesn't matter. Give it to him. He will understand! I'm going to hand over my work and go home!" With that said, she was about to leave.
"Secretary Sylvie, why don't you think it twice?" Tyler was afraid that he could not explain to Marley. What was going on?
"No need!" She smiled. She didn't want to be a secretary, but she had no choice at that time. Now, she didn't feel it mattered anymore.
"If you have any trouble, tell me. I can help you! No difficulty cannot be overcome. You don't have to quit!" Tyler persuaded Sylvie.
However, Sylvie smiled and said, "Mr. Cooper, I really appreciate you. I made this decision after thinking twice. Thank you for your kindness! It's nice to meet you! Goodbye!"
With that, she went out.
Tyler did not know what to do, called Marley but his phone was off!
"Damn it, how could he turn off the phone at a critical moment?" Tyler frowned and almost threw the phone. He realized something went wrong, looking at the resignation letter on the desk.
In the secretary's office, Sylvie handed her work to Secretary Cox.
"What do you mean, Secretary Sylvie?" Secretary Cox was a little surprised. "You want to quit?
"I am leaving!" Sylvie did not conceal it.
"Where are you going?" Secretary Cox was surprised. " You're going home to be a full-time wife?"
Sylvie just smiled, neither denied nor admitted.
Suddenly, the smell of cigarettes spread.
Sylvie remained still and looked around confusedly. Ernie stood not far away, leaning against the desk. He was staring at Sylvie.
Sylvie was stunned and smiled, "Hello!"
"You're quitting?" Ernie said in a cold voice and came over.
Sylvie raised her chin slightly and nodded. "Yes!"
"Why?"
"No reason!" Sylvie smiled. "I'm sorry. I have to go!"
"I don't believe that you are going to be a full-time wife! You are not such kind of woman!" Ernie blinked at her and threw his arms around her shoulder. "It's a big deal. If you leave, I will miss you. So, you can't leave here. I don't allow you to resign."
Sylvie lowered her head, chuckled, and pulled down his hand. "Ernie, please behave yourself!"
"No!" Ernie sneered, "Let's talk about it on the floor below!"
"No need. I don't have to talk to you." Sylvie said in a cold voice. She didn't want to be pestered by Ernie again. Moreover, she couldn't help but feel upset when she faced Ernie who looked like Marley.
"Sylvie!" Ernie reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her downstairs.
"Ernie!" Sylvie immediately screamed because she worried about the baby in her belly. "Let go of me. I can walk myself."
Only then did Ernie let go of her. He frowned when he looked at Sylvie's pale face. Sylvie seemed to be worried about something. She went out with Ernie and followed him.
"Ernie!" As soon as they arrived at the floor below, they saw Aila walking towards them with materials in her hand. "Well! Secretary Sylvie! Hello!"
Sylvie smiled faintly, "Hello, Aila!"
Aila stood in front of Sylvie with a smile. She lost a lot of weight and her cheeks were sunken, so her eyes looked very large. She was like the heroine in the supernatural film. Sylvie didn't expect Aila would become so thin.
"What are you doing here? Go on with your work!" Ernie said impatiently and walked to his office. "Sylvie, come in!"
Without saying a word, Aila pursed her lips and returned to her desk.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
