Morning broke and Vivian arose after a good night’s rest. She was up earlier by half an hour. After washing up, she switched on her laptop and started penning a resignation letter right away.

She did not care if people would take her as a coward who was simply running away from the situation—she just could not work under Fabian anymore.

Just as she was typing away furiously on the keyboard, her phone rang and the hospital’s number appeared on the screen.

“Ms. William? The patient’s brain waves fluctuated this morning. She could wake up anytime soon.”

Vivian widened her eyes with a huge smile on a face. “My mother may regain consciousness?”

“Yes, there is a possibility. But we don’t want to be overconfident,” the doctor said.

“I understand. I’ll wait even if it takes years!” Vivian exclaimed, leaping to her feet.

“We will assist her in every way possible. We are giving her a different treatment now that her situation is looking good. But you will need to brace yourself for the cost of the treatment.” The doctor’s voice deepened.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got her covered under health insurance. I’ll pay for any expenses not covered by the insurance.” After assuring the doctor that she would figure out a way to manage the medical expenses, Vivian hung up.

She sat back down and looked at her half-written resignation letter. Pursing her lips, she deleted everything in one go.

She could not afford to lose her job right now. It was not just because she had to pay for her mother’s medical bill, but it would also take some time before she could find another job.

Vivian scrambled to get ready and headed for work immediately.

She would face whatever came her way.

Since Finnick had not been home since early in the morning, she finished up breakfast in a hurry and hailed a cab right after.

Her magazine company had recently landed a huge long-term project with another magazine company in Q City. The company took this deal very seriously and Fabian was even going on a business trip to the city to sort out the details of the contract.

Thinking of this, Vivian could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

She hope Fabian would leave for the trip soon, then she would not have to face him at the company.

But things did not turn out the way she expected. Not long after she arrived at the office, Lesley Jenson, the senior editor, rushed over to her. “Vivian, you need to get ready now. You’re going on a business trip to Q City with the Chief Editor.”

Vivian sprang up from her chair and stared at her in bewilderment. “Ms. Jenson, doesn’t the Chief Editor have his own personal assistant? I shouldn’t be the one going on the trip with him!”

The senior editor looked at her and shrugged her shoulders. “Well, if you have an objection, you should go talk to the Chief Editor himself. He was the one who asked you to go.”

Vivian rolled her eyes and clenched her fists.

What is he trying to do?

He’s about to get married soon! What does he still want with me?

Vivian strode toward Fabian’s office without losing a moment. She had to talk to him.

But before she could even knock on the door, the office door opened before her and there Fabian stood right in front of her.
