Chapter 110 Resigning
Sadie paused, her voice tinged with self–reproach. “And I’m so busy with work that I can’t take care of Grandma properly.”
Alex looked at her sympathetically, feeling a mix of sorrow and helplessness.
“Have you made up your mind?” he asked in a deep voice. “If you go back, Noah… he might find you.”
At the mention of that name, Sadie shivered slightly, then a sneer crossed her lips.
“I’m not the same Sadie from three years ago,” she declared, her eyes sparking with resolve. “I have the means and the
confidence now. I won’t let him control me anymore.”
Alex felt a wave of relief seeing her determination.
“What about your job?” he inquired, concern evident in his tone.
Sadie remained composed; she had already strategized her next steps.
“I plan to start my own brand,” she stated confidently. “After three years at Majestic Ego, I’ve gained invaluable experience.
It’s time.”
Admiration flickered in Alex’s eyes. He was aware of Sadie’s capabilities.
“That’s a great idea.” He expressed his support enthusiastically. “If you need any help, just let me know. I could even invest
and become a shareholder,” he added, half–jokingly, to lighten the mood.
Tears welled up in Sadie’s eyes as she looked at him gratefully.
“Thank you, Alex,” she said sincerely. “Without your support, I wouldn’t have been able to become the renowned Sandra or
come this far.”
“Why do you always have to be so formal with me?” Alex laughed. “Once you’re back home, I won’t have to keep traveling
back and forth.”
“Hmm?” Sadie seemed to miss his implication.
Alex’s expression flickered, and he coughed to cover up his slip.
“Nothing,” he quickly said, feigning ease, though his heart was pounding.
He regarded Sadie with deep affection.
Over the past three years, he had watched her overcome her challenges, growing stronger and more intriguing every day.
Without realizing it, she had captured his heart.
Yet, because of Noah, Alex had never been able to confess his feelings, always feeling conflicted about his attraction to a
friend’s wife.
But now, he sensed an opportunity might be on the horizon.

Chapter 110 Resigning
The next day, Sadie took a deep breath to steady her excitement and pushed open the door to the office of Majestic Ego’s design director.
“What’s up, Sandra?” Amy Flores, the design director, asked, setting aside her design draft and looking up.
Sadie approached Amy’s desk and gently placed a light gray envelope on it.
“Amy, 1…” Sadie’s voice faltered slightly. Over the past three years, she had dedicated so much effort and passion to her work here, and the thought of leaving filled her with a mix of emotions.
Amy picked up the envelope, slid out the resignation letter inside, and quickly skimmed through it. Her blue eyes widened
in surprise as she looked up at Sadie.
“You’re resigning?”
Sadie nodded, managing a small smile. “Yes, Amy, I am.” She paused, gathering her thoughts, “I want to return to Helva to further my career.”
Amy set the resignation letter down, clasped her hands together, and leaned forward, her expression serious.
“Sandra, I know your talents. You have a promising future here. Why choose to leave now?” Amy’s voice held a note of
regret; she truly didn’t want to lose such a talented designer.
“I appreciate that, Amy. I’m truly grateful for all the guidance and trust you’ve given me these years.” Sadie’s eyes conveyed
her deep gratitude. Amy had been more than a boss; she was a mentor and a friend.
“But I need to start my own journey,” Sadie added.
