Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1191

"Alright. I'll send them over now." After affirming with a nod, Rita took the documents and said, "Chairman Reed, please excuse me."

Sonia waved her hand. "Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work."

"Chairman Reed, you're too kind." With that, Rita smiled and turned to walk out the door.

However, she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks to turn back around. "Oh, right, Chairman Reed. There's something I'm not sure whether I should say."

"Go ahead." Sonia slightly raised her chin to signal Rita to continue.

When Rita got her permission, she did not hesitate as she stood properly to explain, "Chairman Reed, I went to the Human Resources Department this afternoon. We, at the Secretary Department, were thinking of hiring a new assistant, so I went to the HR to ask if there were any suitable candidates."

"Hmm. I heard about it." Sonia nodded. "What happened next?"

She knew this was not the matter her secretary wanted to mention.

As she expected, Rita took in a breath and continued, "Later, I heard someone from the Human Resources Department mention Daphne, saying that she called them this morning to ask them to prepare a letter of resignation and mail it to her."

"What?" Sonia's expression changed slightly. "If I heard it correctly, you said a letter of resignation, right? Daphne asked for a letter of resignation from the HR Department?"

"Yes." Rita nodded to confirm Sonia's words.

Frowning, Sonia's expression looked sullen. "Daphne wants to resign?"

"According to the current situation, it seems to be that. After I heard that, I went to ask one of the employees from HR for confirmation to make sure that the employees weren't spreading fake news. Then, the employee told me that it was true and they did receive a call from her. According to the director of human resources, he was shocked when he heard the news and wanted to notify you but was stopped by Daphne. She said to not tell you for the time being, so I was hesitant on whether to tell you. If I told you, I would be going against Daphne's wishes, but if I don't tell you, I'll feel sorry for her because this is a strange time to resign. Also, Daphne has been with you for the longest and you both have a good relationship. So, after I thought about it, I thought I should tell you because I also hope you could ask Daphne why she wanted to resign. All of us have a good relationship with her and we don't want her to resign. Moreover…"

"Moreover, what?" Sonia looked at her.

Biting her lips, Rita looked uncertain about something.

A few seconds later, she finally persuaded herself and clenched her hands before looking at Sonia. "Chairman Reed, it's like this. I have a suspicion. I think Daphne's sudden resignation means something has happened to her. According to my understanding of her, she loves this job, so she wouldn't resign without reason. She didn't intend to resign when she was pregnant, and even after she wanted to abort the child, she still didn't intend to leave. It was up until her surgery that she suddenly mentioned about resigning. I think something might have happened with her surgery, which caused her health to deteriorate and she couldn't continue with this job."

"Wait. How did you know Daphne was pregnant? And that she wanted to abort the child?" Sonia stood up in surprise and locked her gaze on Rita's body.

Meanwhile, Rita did not hide anything and immediately answered, "I found out about it on my own. Chairman Reed, you also know that I'm married and have children, so I understand pregnancy symptoms better than the unmarried employees in our company. I noticed that Daphne had been showing symptoms of early pregnancy recently. Though once or twice could mean she was sick, once it happened more frequently, I was sure that she's pregnant and not sick. It was until I found a slip related to abortion in Daphne's trash can that I was certain that she was pregnant and didn't intend on keeping the child."

"So, that's why." Sonia could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, she sat back on her chair. "I thought someone had told you about this."

"No, no one told me. I figured it out myself." While shaking her head, Rita seemed to realize something and asked Sonia, "Chairman Reed, did you know about Daphne's pregnancy?"
