"Olivia."
Preston said.
As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair with his hand stretched, and the pen in his hand spun on his finger.
He put on a faint smile and was obviously pleased with the call.
"Mr. Smith, I'm discharged from the hospital. I want to tell you something."
Preston paused, and his smile disappeared. "Say it."
"I want to resign."
Preston clenched the pen in his hand.
He felt something wrong when hearing her first sentence. Indeed, she said the last thing he wanted to hear.
Olivia didn't hear Preston's voice, but she knew he was listening and continued, "Mr. Smith, I want to stop for a while and have a good rest."
Mr. Smith would never have expected her resignation, so she had to explain clearly to him.
Preston curled his lips again and put his hand on his forehead, feeling helpless. "You catch me by surprise."
Before he could even speak, she offered to resign, and he didn't know what to say.
Olivia lowered her head slightly. "Mr. Smith, I'm sorry."
He had been helping her, and she wouldn't succeed without him.
"If you're really sorry, can you come back to work after having a rest?"
Preston paused and said, "I took back the shares in the AK subsidiary. It has nothing to do with Everett anymore. I wanted you to go to the subsidiary after you left the hospital. You will be in charge of the people there. You will support our new brand, but now..."
"Olivia, I hope you can come back."
There were many things that he wanted to say. Finally, all he said was that.
Preston now understood what Everett was thinking when Everett said those words to him.
Everett should have guessed that Olivia would say something like that, so he had asked Preston to do this.
Olivia stood on the balcony and looked up. Paris was shrouded in the dark and fog, looking hazy and unreal.
"Mr. Smith, I don't want to be abroad anymore."
Preston closed his eyes.
He still couldn't retain her.
Brayden walked over and stood next to Olivia. He looked at her and asked, "You don't want to leave?"
Olivia shook her head. "I feel like I owe others too much."
Brayden held her hand and looked ahead into the night. "I'll repay."
The next morning, Olivia went to the company to settle the resignation procedures. Preston had approved Olivia's resignation, but she still had to come to the company to do the handover.
Preston had told Jason that Olivia was resigning, so Olivia could hand over the job to Jason.
Olivia finished the procedures in the morning.
She copied all her work information, content, reports, and computer data and went to Jason's office.
"Director, this is my handover."
Olivia handed Jason the documents and the flash drive.
Jason took them and looked at her. "I didn't expect you to resign."
She had just reached the top, and she left before she could admire the scenery.
It was unexpected.
Olivia smiled, "I want to have a good rest."
Jason nodded. "You've been really tired these past few months."
