The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 862

Austin slumped in his chair, his tone tinged with frustration.

"I'm just looking out for you, you know? You're about to leave the Lopez Corporation, but you'll still need to work, right? Are you done with investment banking altogether?"

A resume always comes in handy when job hunting!

Austin truly had Dorothy's best interests at heart.

"I've already made plans for all that, but thanks for your concern, Austin." Dorothy offered a distant smile and then strode into the conference room.

Clearly, she didn't want to discuss it any further.

"Man, I just don't get it," Austin sighed before following her in.

The morning meeting was pretty standard stuff: everyone shared updates, nothing out of the ordinary.

After the meeting, Dorothy returned to her office, gathered the documents she had organized and headed over to Austin's.

"I've sorted everything that needs the director's attention into different folders for easy access," she explained. "This way, it's easier to manage, and the new director can hit the ground running."

Seeing how thoroughly she had prepared everything, Austin felt even more indignant on her behalf.

"Once you've done all the heavy lifting, any Tom, Dick, or Harry could step in as director without breaking a sweat!"

"It's only right to leave everything in order for the next person. I don't want to hold up the project."

Even though she wouldn't see it through to the end, Dorothy had poured her heart into the project and naturally wanted it to succeed—she wanted everyone on the fourth project team to get their holiday bonus!

"What can I say about you?" Austin shook his head, perplexed. Maybe this was the confidence of the Lopez Corporation boss's lady?

"Alright, leave this stuff with me. I'll pass it on to the new director. When your notice period is up, just wrap things up with HR."

"Got it." Dorothy nodded and left Austin's office.
