Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219 A Close Call

As Sadie swung open the door to her studio, a tense silence enveloped her.

The typically lively studio was unnervingly quiet. A handful of employees whispered among themselves, their faces etched

with tension and unease.

“Miss Hudson…” A young designer approached her hesitantly, a piece of paper gripped tightly in his hand. “I… I’m resigning.”

Caught off guard, Sadie took the resignation letter from him. Before she could even look at it, several more employees came forward, each presenting their own letters.

Their expressions were uneasy, and their eyes darted around. Clearly, they were holding back words they couldn’t quite bring themselves to say.

“I… I’m resigning too, Miss Hudson.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Hudson…”

Within minutes, the studio had cleared out, leaving only a few behind.

Holding a stack of resignation letters, Sadie felt a surge of inexplicable discomfort.

“What is happening? Why is everyone leaving?” Sadie tried to stifle the panic welling up inside her and inquired as calmly

as possible.

“Miss Hudson, there’s really no option left for us,” an older designer said with a heavy sigh.

“We’ve just secured a deal with Shaw Group, and our partnership with Lawrence Group is ongoing. But still, you…”

The remaining staff exchanged looks, their eyes filled with defeat.

“In any case, we can’t stick around any longer.”

With these words, they all bowed their heads and hurried out of the studio, leaving Sadie alone in the suddenly deserted space, feeling like she was caught in a surreal moment.

The clock on the wall continued its relentless ticking, each second stretching out endlessly.

Noticing the time, Sadie remembered Averi would soon be out of school.

Gathering her strength, she grabbed her car keys and headed out.

Sadie drove mechanically, her mind a chaotic mess.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the kindergarten, she parked and walked towards the entrance, lost in thought.

“Beep!” The sharp sound of a horn rang out.

Jolted back to the present, Sadie saw a truck barreling towards her.

She froze, attempting to stop the car, but it was too late. “Argh!”

Just then, a strong arm pulled her back forcefully, saving her in the nick of time.

Her heart raced as she staggered backward, nearly losing her balance. Tina’s familiar features came into view as she lifted

her gaze.

“Are you out of your mind, Sadie? What were you thinking?” Tina’s concern was evident in her wide eyes and the rapid rise

and fall of her chest.

In a daze, Sadie could only stare back, her mind wiped clean of thoughts.

The fear of death had gripped Sadie just moments before.

“Tina, I owe you my life,” Sadie said, her voice trembling and her complexion pale as she clutched at her chest.
