When I Met You novel Chapter 19

Vanessa was very close to Edward as they sat on the sofa. She even smiled at Susan which made Susan feel very uncomfortable.

Edward looked at Susan and then turned to Vanessa, “I’ll have the driver send you back.”

Vanessa was unwilling to leave but looked at Edward and leaned over to kiss him and left.

After Vanessa left, Susan unconsciously smiled. Edward sat on his chair and looked at Susan sternly and asked, “Why are you smiling?”

“I suddenly realize why Mr. Ford likes Ms. Vanessa.” Susan stopped smiling and replied formally.

Edward frowned when he heard her, “You called me Mr. Ford?”

“I’ll address you as Mr. Ford because I have something official to discuss with you.” Susan smiled gently and walked towards Edward and looked at him. She looked very determined.

Edward suppressed his frustration and said, “Okay, go ahead.”

“I wish to complete my resignation in half a month. Our divorce can also be brought forward. May I ask if it’s possible?”

“Oh? Why?”

Edward was suppressing his feelings and he looked at Susan while sizing her up.

“Because… I don’t wish to work here after our divorce. I will feel very uncomfortable. But if I leave here, I think no one in the industry would dare to utilize someone who was once your secretary.” Susan said officially and stated directly and formally.

Edward drummed his fingers on his desk and stared at Susan, “Continue.”

“I found a new job and it is one that I’m very interested in. It is a rare opportunity which is why I wish to complete the resignation within a fortnight.”

After not getting any answer from Edward when she said formally, she tried to ask him coyly, “Hubby, can I?”

Edward stood up and walked slowly towards Susan and lifted her chin to look directly into her eyes. He stared at her for a while before asking, “Can you bear to leave me?”

“How about you? Hubby?” Susan blinked, looked at Edward, and asked.

Edward grinned, “Okay, submit your resignation and start to look for a secretary for me.”

After saying this, he released Susan and sat back into his chair. Susan acknowledged, smiled at Edward, and left the office. Except at the moment when she closed the door, not only did she not feel relaxed, but she felt difficulty in breathing. But what was she uncomfortable with?

It was because when she asked if Edward was unwilling to leave her, his reaction seemed to indicate that he was willing to let her go.

It appeared that her presence had no effect on Edward.

When Susan thought about her emotions, she quickly dismissed her feelings. She couldn’t feel that way! There was no real affection between her and Edward.
