Athena was working in the studio and was about to leave when she received a message from Fitch: [Auntie Bloor has returned to the company and apologized for her previous offense. She asked me to bring her pearl jewelry collection to give you.]
Athena smiled faintly and replied: [Please forward my thanks to Miss Bloor.]
She didn't hesitate to accept the jewelry.
For someone like Esther, settling this matter with the jewelry was a way to put things behind them.
If Athena didn't accept it, there would always be a lingering discomfort in her heart, which might make future meetings awkward.
After packing her briefcase, Athena walked out confidently.
Most of her colleagues had already left, except for Scarlett.
"Athena, are you leaving too?" Scarlett stood up.
"Yes, why haven't you left yet?" Athena swung her briefcase in one hand and put the other hand in the pocket of her suit, looking sharp and stylish.
Scarlett pointed to the computer, "I just finished some reports. I'll be leaving soon."
"Alright, let's go together. I'll give you a ride," Athena had a glance at the time and said.
Scarlett was currently staying in a hotel not far from Athena's home, so she could rush over in case Athena needed her.
"Okay!"
Scarlett nodded and quickly packed up her computer.
As they were leaving, they saw a black SUV parked outside the studio. Byron, dressed casually, was leaning against the passenger seat and playing with his phone.
As soon as they came out, he immediately looked up and waved to Athena.
"I can't hitch a ride now, I guess," Scarlett mumbled.
Athena handed her car keys to Scarlett. "You can take my car back tomorrow morning."
"Got it!"
Scarlett smiled and took the keys.
As she hurried down the stairs, she passed by Byron and greeted, "Mr. Crawford!"

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
