Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 435

Although John had already said that he would try his best to act as her colleague around her, Jean did not know why she still feel embarrassed every time she saw him.

'No wonder Maranda was so upset and avoided me for a period of time. It was because she had known that John liked me while I was still in the shadow.

It seems that love traps people and makes them do crazy things.'

With these thoughts in mind, Jean heaved a deep sigh before opening the door of the company.

As soon as she entered the office, most of her colleagues looked at her in surprise and amazement. They warmly gather around her and greeted her with wide smiles. "Jean, welcome back!"

"It's so great to see you back. We thought you have forgotten us and wouldn't come here again."

"Agree. You haven't come back to the company for so long. Where did you go?"

"Is it because Mr. Qi does not allow you to go back to work?"

Faced with endless questions, Jean felt embarrassed. She was surrounded by several people who looked at her and waited for her to answer all these questions. Jean did not know how to answer them.

Before, Jean hadn't been very familiar with these colleagues, but after staying in the company for a few months, they had developed a friendship, and she felt really moved by their concern. She suddenly felt sad at the news she was about to give them. They all looked sincerely concerned for her comeback.

Jean then cleared her throat and looked at everyone around her. "Well, I have to apologize, everyone. A lot of things... troubles have happened to me recently. I believe that most of you or maybe just some of you have also seen the news from the newspaper or from the Internet. Because of that, I am afraid that I can't come back to work now. That's why I am here today to formally resign from my job, and I hope you all understand where I am coming from. It was a pleasure working with you, and I thank you all for the care and concern during the period of time I worked here."

After saying that, Jean sincerely bowed to everyone as a form of apology and great gratitude.

"Oh, Jean, do you really want to leave?"

"We understand, Jean, but are you really not coming back?"

"We know that there have been a lot of things happening to you recently, but can't you just ask for a leave for several days without completely resigning?"

Again, Jean felt overwhelmed by the endless interrogation. She looked at them with wide eyes, not knowing how to deal with such a situation she was faced with. All she knew were that she was very tired and that all she wanted was to take the rest she deserved.

Jean started to feel her head throb. As soon as she finally realized the headache coming, John suddenly appeared. He went straight to Jean and said,"Our boss have known of your arrival. He would like a word with you."

"Okay," she said with a nod. Jean could not help feeling grateful for his appearance at that moment. It was as if she was rescued from a stressful interrogation. Although she appreciated their concern, she just wasn't in the mood.

She sighed in relief after seeing John. He was the man in front of her, who always gave her help and warmth when she needed them most.

'In the company, John has really helped me a lot, ' Jean started to think.

'If only he had not fallen in love with me, we may be good friends.

But now, I believe it is impossible with the awkward tension.'

Thinking about all these, Jean couldn't help but express her gratitude. "Thank you." Jean nodded at John once more and followed him.

"You're always welcome. Did you really come here to resign from your job?" Despite his word that he was going to act as his colleague around her, John still could not help but look at Jean with great affection. He hadn't seen her for a long time ever since that meeting.

He sighed, knowing fully well that the only way he could see her in the future after this encounter would be on television or the newspaper.

Jean pondered for a moment, regaining her strength. "Yes." Feeling the atmosphere turn a bit depressing, Jean asked with a relaxed tone. "How come I haven't seen Maranda since I got here? Do you know where she is?"

John looked at her with wide eyes. His eyebrows furrowed into a frown. "Wait, didn't you know?"

"What do you mean? What happened?" Jean asked with a puzzled look. Realizing that Jean did not indeed know, he sighed.

"Maranda resigned a week ago. I thought she would tell you, knowing that both of you are good friends," John said slowly. "What's wrong? Did you two fight for something?" he asked, wondering why Maranda didn't tell Jean about such an important information.
