I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 177

Mindy finished her rant, but her colleague didn't offer the usual supportive nod.

Turning her head, she sharply caught a glimpse of the resignation letter flashing briefly across Sienna's monitor.

Her eyes went wide, and she gasped loudly, "Sienna, you're quitting???"

Across the aisle, Janice York just happened to be walking by.

Catching her in her peripheral vision, Sienna frantically shushed Mindy.

But it was too late; Janice had already heard.

After working together for so long, Janice genuinely viewed the young woman as her right hand. Sienna was gorgeous but entirely unpretentious, and handled every task flawlessly without requiring any micromanagement. Hearing that she wanted to leave hit Janice harder than if she had been fired herself.

Janice immediately launched into a barrage of comforting words, subtly trying to dig out the real reason for her departure.

But since Sienna remained stubbornly tight-lipped, all her probing was ultimately futile.

In the end, Janice could only let out a long sigh and tell her to carefully reconsider before officially submitting the letter.

Business at Quinn's Dumplings had been slow lately, so George Quinn and his wife, Lillian Douglas, took on a few corporate catering orders. Coincidentally, the delivery address was right near Stellaris Corp.

Stopped at a red light just before the crosswalk, George hit the brakes.

Through the window, his gaze landed on the towering corporate building in the distance, staring thoughtfully for a few seconds.

George suddenly slapped the steering wheel and turned to his wife. "I just remembered, it was Jorrod's birthday yesterday! Sienna didn't even remind us. We told him we'd make him dumplings, and I completely forgot."

George and Lillian weren't the type to follow corporate news.

But seeing their daughter's boyfriend's name splashed across the headlines had naturally caught their attention.

It was through those news reports that they learned Jorrod had recovered and officially resumed his position at Stellaris.

Truthfully, even now, George hadn't explicitly given them his blessing.

He had simply said to let things run their course naturally.

He just adamantly refused to officially acknowledge him as his son-in-law.

But keeping a promise to make the kid birthday dumplings was a separate matter entirely, and George refused to go back on his word.

Recalling how genuinely excited Jorrod had been for their cooking,

and staring at the building right in front of them, the couple instantly agreed.

If they dropped the food off before the lunch rush, they could still fulfill their promise to the boy.
