The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 381

Patty shook her head, "Nah, I can't."

Allison chatted with Patty for a bit. After dinner, she was all set to hit the Red Jack Club.

Today was the 26th. Only five days left until this month was out. Even if she wanted to quit her job, she had to stick it out till the end of the month. Allison came to Sarah's office and told her of her decision to resign.

Sarah was all for it. She seemed like she was waiting for Allison to quit all along.

"Allison," she said, "You know, from the moment I first saw you, I knew your time here wouldn't be long because your abilities far exceed this place. You belong to somewhere else."

"Sarah, thank you for looking out for me all this time."

"No need to thank me." Sarah smiled and said, "Just remember me when you hit the big time."

"You bet," Allison said, "Sarah, I need to take the night off."

"You don't usually take leaves. Why have you been taking so many lately?"

Allison offered a small smile, "Well… I have a date tonight."

"A boyfriend?"

"More like a sugar daddy I can't afford to piss off."

Sarah ventured a guess, "Is it Mr. Lindberg?"

"Sarah, I'm surprised we're on the same page."

"Well, have fun with Mr. Lindberg on your date," Sarah paused for a few seconds. As Allison was about to leave, she added, "Allison, try not to be too dominant or excessively rigid in your behavior. As a woman, it's better to have a gentle approach. Men tend to appreciate women who are gentle. With your beauty, you should take advantage of your youth and your strengths. Don’t be too stubborn, otherwise, you'll be the one at a disadvantage."

Allison chuckled softly, tinged with a hint of self-irony. This man, who had promised her just this morning, was now nowhere to be seen.

Allison knew he was probably with Penelope. After all, he had his fiancée to look after.

So this was what disappointment felt like?

Usually, even when Lucian misunderstood her, or even bullied her, she never felt this down. But now, Allison felt a weight in her chest. Her eyes were dry. She took a deep breath, downing her drink. It was sweet. Then she got up, walked to the trash can, and prepared to throw away her ticket.

"Hey, miss, are you not gonna watch the movie?" Someone suddenly called out to her.

Allison turned around to see a young woman, probably a college student, who was smiling at her, "My boyfriend and I couldn't get tickets for this movie. He's really into it. If you're not planning to watch it, can you sell us your tickets?"

Allison's voice was a little hoarse, "You can just take it."
