The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Forced To Resign

Sienna felt her chest tighten again. The earlier fear returned, stronger this time, mixed with something colder.

’An offer?’ she thought.

That didn’t sound right, especially in a moment like this. Her fingers lingered over the file for a brief second before finally reaching out to take it.

The paper felt heavier than it should, as if it carried the weight of everything she had been trying to avoid.

Slowly, she opened it.

Her eyes moved across the first page.

’So... they’re transferring me to another branch?’

The words echoed quietly in Sienna’s mind as her eyes scanned the first paragraph again, as if reading it twice might somehow change the meaning.

But, of course, it didn’t.

Her name was clearly written there, followed by a decision that felt as firm and cold. A transfer. Immediate. Effective next week.

She continued reading, her expression slowly tightening as each line revealed more than she wanted to accept.

The location was not clearly stated; it was only described as a "branch outside the capital," which, in corporate language, often meant somewhere nice but inconvenient to drive if you live in the city. Also, it’s likely far away and easy to forget unless you’re planning a vacation.

And the worst part? Her position is no longer Front Office Manager.

The title she had worked hard for, fought for, and protected with everything she had... was now quietly taken away, replaced with something lower, something that didn’t even bother to sound important on paper.

It felt like swallowing bitter medicine. Something she had no choice but to accept, even as it burned all the way down.

Sienna lowered the file slightly, her lips pressing into a thin line.

’Well... at least they didn’t fire you,’ she told herself dryly. ’Congratulations, Sienna. You’re still employed. Just... downgraded, relocated, and emotionally attacked. What a great deal.’

If the situation weren’t so serious, she might have laughed.

But she didn’t.

Instead, she took a slow breath, trying to steady the storm rising inside her chest, and turned her gaze toward Mia.

Sienna was taken aback as she saw Mia look completely frozen.

Her face had gone pale, almost colorless, her eyes fixed on the paper in her hands as if the words had trapped her there.

There was no movement, no reaction, just stillness that felt far more alarming than panic.

A bad feeling wells up in Sienna’s chest. Slowly, she leaned closer, her eyes shifting to the document Mia was holding.

And the moment she read it, her heart clenched.

’No fucking way...’ The words screamed in her mind, sharp and loud. ’They’re making Mia resign? No. But they forced her to resign?’

Her fingers curled into a tight fist beneath the table, her nails pressing into her palm as anger surged through her like a storm.

’What’s going on? How dare they... Why were they forced to resign while sending me off somewhere else? Why not send both of us to the branch?’

Now, Sienna feels bad thinking about how Mia will react if she finds out they didn’t push her to resign.

Sienna’s gaze shot up instantly, locking onto the HR manager.

"Sir," she spoke, her voice controlled but firm, "why does Mia have to resign?"

The question hung in the air.

For a brief moment, no one spoke.
