“Whair

Stelle Lewis felt her heart sink. “What happened now? Why are you here so early in the morning”

Mis Canter stood at the base of the tower, looking up at the summit. “I’ll tell you when it’s over.”

She hung up and entered the building.

The office was deserted. She had arrived early specifically to get to the top floor before the morning rush

To her surprise, Ethan Hale was already there.

A moment later, in Ethan’s office.

Mis stood in the center of the room. She had come prepared with a speech, having rehearsed her words countless imes in her head.

But now, facing Esban, she couldn’t find her voice.

Echon opened the drawer on his right, pulled out a separation agreement, and pushed it toward her.

Sign in

Mia spoke instinctively. “I haven’t given you an answer yet.”

You’ve always wanted to leave,” Ethan said, his voice curt and to the point. “There’s no reason to stay anymore.”

le didn’t waste words. Every sentence hit home.

Why? Don’t tell me that now that you can actually go, you’re having second thoughts.”

The man’s narrow eyes narrowed further, his gaze searching her face.

Mia looked at the document, her calm expression flickering with a hint of complexity.

She took a deep breath, pulled a black pen from her bag, flipped the document to the last page, and signed her

Mia Carter.

der handwriting was elegant yet firm, with a sharp edge to the strokes.

As the final stroke fell, Ethan looked away.

According to company policy, if any internal secrets are leaked, you will face a full investigation as the prime uspect. If the leak is traced to you, you will be liable for double the company’s total losses’

Mia capped the pen and set it down beside the contract. “Understood.”

‘Aren’t you going to read the terms?” Ethan signaled for her to look through the rest of the document

Mia shook her head. “I trust you, Mr. Hale.”

Ethan let out a short, hollow laugh, unsure if he should be pleased or insulted.

“The contract will be processed within two business days. HR will notify you to come in and complete the final procedures then.”

I know the drill. You don’t need to remind me, Mr. Hale.”

Mia nodded. A sharp, sour ache radiated through her chest, making it difficult to breathe.

“If there’s any other work that needs a handover, you can call me anytime, Mr. Hale.”

Ethan rotated his chair to face the floor-to-ceiling window, leaving her with only the silhouette of his sharp profile.

Mia wanted to say something more, but realized there was nothing left to say.

“Thank you for looking after me all these years, Mr. Hale. Goodbye.”

Only silence met her.

She didn’t linger. She turned and walked away.

The entire process had taken less than ten minutes.

It was still before work hours; the company was still empty.

Mia’s flats clicked softly against the floor. The sound grew fainter and fainter until it vanished entirely from

Ethan’s ears.

His gaze shifted, landing on the black pen Mia had left behind.

He picked up the pen, his thumb brushing over the surface. His eyes were deep and somber, though his face remained a mask of indifference.

The approval process took exactly two business days.

That afternoon, Mia received a call from the Human Resources Department to come in for the final handover.

She didn’t actually have much to hand over, considering she had only recently taken over the branch. Besides, she had already been on maternity leave and had delegated her tasks in advance.

Still, she made a trip to the office. After picking up her copy of the termination agreement, she went to find Stella.

“How can you just leave like this? It’s so sudden.”

Stella looked completely lost. “Is Winston Henderson behind this?”

Mia shook her head. “No. I resigned of my own accord.”
