I haven’t approved the resignation yet. In her condition, where could she even go?”
t was virtually impossible to find a new job while visibly pregnant.
Why haven’t you approved it?” The grandmother caught the main point. “Grandson, no matter how much you egret it, it’s over between you two. Don’t be a stalker.”
Ethan: “…”
Was he really that kind of person?
A good horse doesn’t eat the grass it’s already passed. Even if Mia was special, it was only because of her >utstanding professional abilities. Ethan simply felt that if Mia left, the Everett branch would have no one to nanage it, and he was afraid Mr. Henderson would take advantage of the vacancy.
Approve her resignation tomorrow and give her a $2 million severance package,” Mrs. Hale Sr. commanded.
She’s the one quitting, I’m not firing her. There’s no reason for the company to pay severance,” Ethan reminded
ler.
You should have given her a settlement when you got divorced, but you didn’t. Why not?”
Ethan replied, “She didn’t want it.”
Just because she didn’t want it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have given it! At the end of the day, it’s your fault. Stop talking nonsense. The Hale family isn’t short on money. It’ll make me feel better knowing she’s living well…”
f they weren’t separated by thousands of miles, the grandmother would have come to see Mia herself long ago.
I think she’s capable of leaving on her own, so we can save that severance money. It’s late; get some rest. I have hings to do, goodbye.”
Ethan put the phone down and hung up.
He stood there for a few seconds, lost in thought.
His phone chimed several times with WhatsApp notifications. It was more messages from his grandmother.
Grandson, once a couple, always a connection. You can’t be ungrateful.]
During those two years of marriage, Mia never did anything wrong by you.]
[Look after her for me-]
The messages kept coming, one after another, as if she wouldn’t stop until he agreed.
Ethan replied with a simple: [Okay.]
The phone finally went quiet.
He turned and went upstairs. Sitting at his desk, he pulled up the company system and rejected Mia’s resignation
letter.

In the middle of the night, Mia received the email notification that her resignation had been rejected. She had been half-asleep but was suddenly wide awake.
She sat up, holding her phone, and rubbed her eyes as she read the email again.
Unsure, she got out of bed, turned on her computer, and opened the email on a larger screen.
‘Resignation Rejected. Reason: None.*
Mia grabbed her phone, ready to call Ethan.
But then she reconsidered. At this hour, there was a chance Chloe Bennett was with him.
Varzi
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Mia put the phone down and went back to sleep. She planned to visit the office the next day after her prenatal checkup.
She didn’t sleep well the rest of the night.
Early the next morning, she got ready and went over to Nina Torres’s place.
Perfect timing. I just need to put on some lipstick and we can go. Hungry? Clara made breakfast to eat after your blood draw.”
You can
With that, Nina tucked her lipstick into her bag and walked out of the dressing room.
Toby wasn’t awake yet. Clara brought over two portions of breakfast, and Mia took them.
Thank you, Clara.”
Clara smiled. “Don’t mention it. I’m actually worried seeing how small your belly is. When we get to the hospital, alk to the doctor and see if you need more nutrition. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you.”
Nina gave Clara a quick hug. “I really struck gold with you. Not only do you take great care of the baby, but you’re eeding both of us so well. I’m giving you a raise next month!”
Nina’s livestreams had been doing very well lately.”
After a few more words with Clara, Mia and Nina headed out.
Are we going to be late?” Mia checked the time. They were about fifteen minutes behind schedule.
No rush. Cole Preston is waiting for us.” Nina started the engine, looking unbothered.
