Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1194

Letting out a sigh, Sonia explained, "It wasn't them. Rita just happened to go there and overheard this matter, so she told me."

"So, that's how you found out." Daphne understood the situation.

It turns out it was Rita who told her.

What a coincidence.

It seems like even the heavens didn't want me to hide this from Chairman Reed. Otherwise, why would Rita just happen to appear at the HR department at that moment?

"So, it's true that you're resigning?" Sonia asked with pursed lips.

Then, Daphne replied with a hum and replied, "Yes."

After getting the confirmation from Daphne, Sonia felt her heart sink. "Why? There should be a reason, right? I don't believe you've thought about this for a very long time. Whether it's me or Rita, we didn't hear any news about you wanting to resign before you took your leave, nor did we see any signs of you wanting to leave. So, when you took leave and suddenly mentioned you wanted to resign, we all didn't believe you'd do so easily. Then, we guessed that maybe your body condition was weakened by the operation, so you wouldn't want to continue with work. But now, I'm certain that your operation went well, and your body condition is still good. So, can you tell me why you wanna resign?"

Hearing Sonia's words, Daphne sighed and could not help but admire Sonia's keen insight.

She even guessed that I resigned on a whim and not because I had thought about it before.

Chairman Reed is indeed a very intelligent person.

"Daphne?" When Sonia did not hear Daphne's response, she called out to her.

Coming back to her senses, Daphne replied, "Yes, Chairman Reed. I'm still here."

"Since you're still there, then tell me. Why do you want to resign? Daphne, you know that I admire your talent and I'm already used to you being my secretary, so if you don't have a suitable reason, I won't approve of your resignation. Understand?" Sonia stated.

Daphne bit her lips and felt bitter. "I understand."

Actually, she did not want to resign.

But…

She gazed over at Charles again and her eyes were filled with all sorts of complicated emotions.

It was Charles who ordered her to resign, so she could not defy him.

Not knowing what Daphne was looking at and thinking about, she massaged the middle of her eyebrows and persuaded, "Since you understand, you must give me a reasonable explanation. After all, I have to know what you're going through. Don't worry. If you're facing any difficulties, you can tell me and I'll help you solve it as best as I can. Even if I can't help you, I can get Toby to help. There are no difficulties that can't be solved, so there's no need to resign."

"Chairman Reed, nothing happened." Daphne barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

In order not to let Sonia hear anything suspicious, Daphne tried her best to calm down her emotions and make her voice sound normal. "I decided to resign because I want to take some time to further my career abroad."

"Further your career abroad?" Sonia was shocked. "But I didn't hear you mention this before."

Looking down to hide the emotions in her eyes, Daphne explained, "I didn't have such thoughts before, even until I decided to take my leave. I only thought of this yesterday."

"Oh? Yesterday?" Sonia asked.

"Yes." The hand on her phone tightened as Daphne continued to lie.

There was no other way because once a lie was made, she had to use several other lies to make up for it.

Otherwise, she would get exposed.

"Yesterday, when I finished my operation, I saw a recruitment notice from a foreign country on the Internet. The position being recruited matches my major, and throughout the two years, I have been thinking about taking examinations for different professions, but I don't have any experience working abroad, so my application keeps getting rejected. At first, I thought I should forget it, but when I saw that recruitment notice, I was tempted to try again. Then, I wrote a thesis last night and sent it with my resume and it was quickly accepted. The company there has decided to hire me, so I decided to resign and enter that company to further my career for a year. After a year, I'd be able to take examinations," Daphne explained.

"Thank you for liking me, and I like you too." After hearing Daphne's confession, Sonia felt happy and smilingly asked, "Oh, right. When are you leaving?"

She meant when Daphne would leave abroad.

Since Daphne was not really going abroad, she could not give a confirmed time, so she could only think on the whim. "The week after. This week, I need to get my visa and other documents."

"Wouldn't it be too much of a rush? One week might not be enough for you to get your visa."

"No, it wouldn't. I have a former classmate working at the embassy there. He'll help me rush my documents, so one week is enough." Daphne lied again.

She had never lied, but today, in these short few minutes, she had told countless lies.

The more she lied, the more embarrassed she became.

However, Sonia did not know any of this. When she heard that Daphne had a friend over there, she felt at ease. "That's good. So, you can submit your resignation application after you're done and I'll personally approve of it. If you're willing to come back to this little company one year later, I will happily welcome you back."

"Okay. Thank you, Chairman Reed. Thank you so much." Daphne felt a sore sensation at her nose and her eyes felt warm too.

Smiling, Sonia said, "I won't bother you anymore. Rest well, and I'll send you off when you leave."

"No need for that, Chairman Reed." The moment Sonia said she would send her off, Daphne became anxious and hurriedly refused while shaking her head. "You don't have to send me off. I can leave on my own."

"Why?" Sonia could not help but blink her eyes in confusion.

Aren't we friends?

Shouldn't friends send each other off when one of them is leaving?
