Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 6

How could she join Samuel's company?

One person couldn't sign contracts with two different employers simultaneously.

Nova bit her lip, her body trembling slightly. Forcing down the lingering pain from her D&C, she bent down and picked up the resignation letter and time-off request from the floor.

"Mr. Forrester, I want to resign. Please approve it."

Keeping her eyes cast downward, she stubbornly held the papers out to him.

She had to quit today. She had to leave!

He stared at her in silence for a long moment before finally looking away. "Do you honestly think pulling these little stunts will make me look at you differently?"

Nova stared at him in sheer disbelief.

After all her efforts, everything she did was still viewed as a manipulative tactic to get his attention.

She felt incredibly pathetic.

"I..."

"Forrester Group doesn't revolve around you, and you are not irreplaceable. Pull a stunt like this again, and you can pack your things and get out. Leave."

He showed her absolutely no mercy.

Nova's heart clenched violently. Just as tears threatened to spill over, the landline on his desk rang. It was a direct line, ringing through without any screening.

"Honey, you left your belt at my place last night. I'm bringing it over for you."

That single word—"Honey"—rooted Nova to the spot.

It was Yvette's voice.

Yvette called him "Honey"?

Such an intimate term of endearment. Nova only ever dared to call him that in her head.

It meant they had slept together. Probably more than once.

"I said get out!"

Nova had barely glanced at the belt before Tristan's harsh reprimand snapped her back. She clutched her resignation letter tightly as Yasmin stormed in and dragged her out.

Even as she was pulled away, she could hear Yvette's sickly sweet voice soothing him. "Don't be mad. She looks so exhausted. I'm sure she didn't mean it; she's probably just not in a good headspace. It's so hard to find a job right now, just give her one more chance..."

She didn't hear his reply. She didn't want to know how else Yvette was comforting him.

Standing by her desk, Nova stared blankly at her resignation and PTO request.

Yasmin strutted over holding a cup of coffee, sneering. "Women always look so gross when they lose their figures during pregnancy. Obviously, my brother doesn't want Yvette to end up looking like a cow like you, which is why he's letting you play incubator. Did you seriously think you were the real Mrs. Forrester? That you could just quit and go live a life of luxury at Clearwater Manor? Or were you just testing to see if my brother would pity you because you're knocked up?"

*Smack!*

Nova took the papers in her hand and slapped them violently across Yasmin's face.
