Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Caregiver

Sadie stepped out of the director’s office, her signed resignation letter clutched tightly in her hand.

Returning to her desk, she began packing her belongings while her colleagues gathered around, their expressions tinged with reluctance at her departure.

“Sandra, are you really leaving?” a young designer asked, his voice filled with regret.

“Well, we won’t be working together anymore,” another colleague added.

“How about we throw you a farewell party?” someone suggested.

Sadie looked at the familiar faces around her, touched by their warmth.

She gently shook her head, politely declining. “No need. I appreciate the thought. Let’s catch up another time.”

Just then, Vivi Quinn, another designer from Helva, sauntered over, her high heels clicking sharply on the floor. A subtle

smirk played across her face.

“Oh, Sandra, are you leaving? I thought you’d be more reluctant,” Vivi said, her voice laden with sarcasm.

Sadie met her gaze, her expression composed and poised.

Vivi had always viewed Sadie as a competitor, relishing any opportunity to overshadow her.

Now, with Sadie departing, Vivi couldn’t resist the urge to needle her.

“Even if you’ve made a name for yourself at Majestic Ego, don’t overestimate your chances,” Vivi said, her disdain barely

veiled. “Going solo is no small feat.”

Sadie responded with a calm smile, “With me gone, you’ll finally get that promotion you’ve been after. Congratulations.”

Her seemingly congratulatory words hit a sore spot with Vivi, who had long envied Sadie’s position but lacked her prowess.

Vivi’s expression soured, her retort stifled as she glared at Sadie, frustration evident.

“You all shouldn’t get too attached to her. You won’t see her again,” Vivi said.

The colleagues exchanged uneasy looks, torn between their regret for Sadie’s departure and the necessity of maintaining good terms with Vivi, their soon–to–be supervisor.

One by one, they drifted away, leaving Sadie to finish packing in solitude.

Sadie wasn’t bothered. She had long understood the dynamics of workplace politics.

With a genuine smile at Vivi, she said, “I wish you great success.”

Picking up her packed belongings, Sadie left the office for the last time.

Behind her, Vivi watched, her face flush with vexation, yet she was rendered powerless by Sadie’s dignified exit.

A day later, Sadie double–checked her suitcase and zipped it up, ready for her next chapter.

Chapter 111 Caregiver

Averi sat on the sofa, clutching his teddy bear, his eyes wide with curiosity.

Sadie ruffled his hair gently.

“Averi, are you ready? We’re about to leave.”

“I’m ready, Mommy!” Averi said, jumping off the sofa, teddy bear bouncing along.

They walked to the door, which rang just then.

Sadie opened it to find Alex. “Alex? What are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be back in the country?”

Stepping in, Alex took Sadie’s suitcase. “I came to pick you up,” Alex said.

He ruffled Averi’s hair. “Hey Averi, have you missed me?”

Averi hid shyly behind Sadie, peeking out to murmur, “Hello, Alex.”

Moved by Alex’s gesture, Sadie felt a warm glow.
