Resign with Grace Return with Fire novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Sandra’s expression changed drastically. She snapped her head toward Lester, her gaze turning razor-sharp.

Lester took a frightened step back.

“M-Ms. Wendell, there must be some kind of misunderstanding,” he stammered.

Then, he suddenly pointed at me. “These projects were all handed over from Fred. He shares the responsibility, too.

“Fred, don’t think you can dump this mess on me just because you resigned!”

To prove his innocence, he immediately slipped back into his role as a victim. His voice trembled as he said, Ms. Wendell, I just took over Fred’s projects. He must have set me up. Don’t you trust me anymore?”

When Sandra saw how pitiful he looked, the doubt in her eyes softened almost instantly.

She frowned at me briefly, then said gently to Lester, “Alright. Let’s return to the office and deal with this first. Of course I trust you. If this really was Fred’s doing, I’ll make sure he takes responsibility.”

Before leaving, Sandra gave me a long, heavy look, then turned and walked away.

As Lester passed by, he curled his lips into a smug smile and softly provoked me. “Fred, did you see that? No matter what happens, Sandra will always believe me.”

I ignored him and walked straight into the elevator.

That afternoon, I heard from former colleagues about what was happening at Wendell Group. When I was in charge, the clients trusted me and rarely raised objections.

But this time, with Lester handling it, problems cropped up everywhere, causing severe losses.

The client demanded accountability. After learning that Wendell Group had replaced the person in charge without their consent, they were furious and prepared to sue. Sandra was completely overwhelmed.

“Ms. Wendell, I really didn’t know such a trivial issue could lead to consequences this significant. I’m really sorry. What should we do now? How about I apologize to the client myself? Ms. Wendell, please don’t ignore me. You’re breaking my heart.”
