Now that she had decided to leave, Sylvia began to make arrangements for handing over her responsibilities at the company.

Using the pretext of pursuing further education abroad, she entrusted the company to a loyal and reliable colleague who had been with her for many years. Milanda would remain as her assistant, providing daily updates on company matters through video calls.

At the Monday morning meeting, Sylvia assigned some of her ongoing projects to others. Afterwards, back in her office, she discussed a few additional matters with Milanda.

Tears shimmered in Milanda’s eyes. “Boss, how long will you be away?”

“I’m not sure yet,” Sylvia replied with a gentle smile. “But we can video chat every day—we’ll still see each other.”

“It’s just not the same as having you here in person!” Milanda said, her face clouded with worry. “But don’t worry, I’ll do my best with everything you ask of me. I’ll keep an eye on the company, and the whole team and I will be waiting for you to come back.”

“That’s what I like to hear!” Sylvia encouraged her, laughing. “Stay strong and keep up the good work.”

Milanda nodded earnestly.

As Sylvia packed her things, she asked, “How are things going with your boyfriend?”

Milanda lowered her voice. “I’ve already told him I want to break up. He hasn’t agreed yet, but it doesn’t matter—I’ve already made up my mind.”

Having just ended things with her boyfriend and now facing Sylvia’s departure as well, it felt like Milanda was being hit with a double blow.

Sylvia tapped her lightly on the head with a folder. “This is your own decision, so don’t look so down. Trust yourself!”

Milanda forced a small smile. “I’m starting to realize that work is much more reliable. Look, you’re going abroad, but our relationship won’t change or end. If a boyfriend went abroad… I’m not sure I’d have that same confidence!”

Sylvia thanked him. They chatted briefly about her departure date before ending the call.

As she looked at her phone, it really hit her—she was about to start a completely different kind of life.

She’d have family nearby who truly cared for her. She’d get to sit in a classroom, just as she’d always hoped, and would make plenty of new friends.

With no more company details to constantly occupy her mind, she’d finally have more time to do the things she truly wanted. It all seemed so perfect.

At the end of the workday, just as Sylvia stepped out of the office building, Mrs. Winters suddenly appeared and hurried over to her, as though she’d been waiting there for some time.

“Sylvia, I’m Eugene’s mother!” Mrs. Winters said with an ingratiating smile. “Let’s get to know each other properly today!”
