I only wonted to toke some time off work, but this guy mode me resign right owoy.

eorlier.

entered the office.

pocked oll her belongings into o box ond possed her employee ID bodge to the HR monoger.

Potrick's expression wos grim. He soid in o cold tone, “You sign for her. Poy her onother five months of
woges.”
The HR monoger replied, “Noted, Mr. Lowen.”
Patrick's expression darkened as he scoffed. “Gwendolyn, since you have decided, then we'll follow
according to your decision.”
He pushed her away, picked up the landline phone, and dialed an internal line.
“Come to the CEO's office. Take Gwendolyn to complete the procedure for her resignation.”
Upon hearing those words, Gwendolyn's eyes widened, and her voice deepened as she spoke.
“Patrick, I...”
I only wanted to take some time off work, but this guy made me resign right away.
Gwendolyn immediately burned with rage as she wondered if Patrick didn't understand what she said
earlier.
At that moment, the manager of the HR department came. He nodded to Patrick respectfully when he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtentered the office.
Gwendolyn couldn't possibly refuse to leave as the manager was already there.
Therefore, she glanced at Patrick coldly before turning around and walking back to her seat. She
packed all her belongings into a box and passed her employee ID badge to the HR manager.
“Help me sign the documents. I still need to take care of Zayden at the hospital.”
She strode out of the CEO's office with her box while the HR manager was momentarily stunned.
He looked at Patrick and asked, “Mr. Lowen, what should we do now?”
As expected from the person Mr. Lowen likes. Ms. Ashton's temper is no joke.
Patrick's expression was grim. He said in a cold tone, “You sign for her. Pay her another five months of
wages.”
The HR manager replied, “Noted, Mr. Lowen.”
It seems like the two are quarreling again, but Mr. Lowen's so nice to a woman that he even pays her
five months of extra wages.
As Gwendolyn walked out of the CEO's office with the box in her arms, Amber and Liam came up to
her.
“Ms. Ashton, what happened?”
Gwendolyn looked at her two colleagues with whom she got along well the most. They were also the
ones who took great care of her at work.
“I resigned.”
Amber and Liam were slightly startled but quickly returned to their senses. They thought that it wouldn't
matter if Gwendolyn worked or not because sooner or later, she would become Mrs. Lowen.
They thought Gwendolyn's resignation meant that she would be getting married to Patrick soon, so
they both smiled.
“Congratulations!”
Gwendolyn was stunned to hear them congratulate her. She wondered why they would congratulate
her when she had just resigned.
Are they congratulating me for finally being free from the devil, Patrick?
The corner of her lips raised faintly as she said, “I have to go now. We can meet up sometime to have
lunch.”
Amber and Liam walked her into the elevator and smiled while sending her away.
The glimmer in Gwendolyn's eyes faded as the elevator door shut. She was quite reluctant to leave
because of the company's high pay. Her heart ached as she thought about that.
However, when she thought of Patrick's heartless action, she didn't believe she could not get a better
job in the future.
It saams lika tha two ara quarraling again, but Mr. Lowan's so nica to a woman that ha avan pays har

She had no confidence in herself because even if she had the capability, she had no qualifications, so it
would not be easy to land a job with good pay.
Gwendolyn pursed her lips and mumbled to herself, “Gwendolyn, don't be afraid. You can't be an
ungrateful person. Think about the most difficult times that you've been through, the times when you
were the most helpless. Who was the one who helped you? Zayden needs you now, and the only way
to have a clear conscience is to help him recover.”
After thinking about that, her negative thoughts disappeared, and she stopped thinking about other

The atmosphere in Patrick's office was very tense. The HR manager quickly left the office. As he left,
he bumped into Liam. Liam called out to him, “Are you here to handle Ms. Ashton's resignation
procedures?”
The HR manager nodded. “Yes, Mr. Derner. You seem to be in a good mood today.”
He saw Liam walking over with a smiling face as if something good was going to happen.
Liam raised his eyebrows and grinned. “Of course. If the boss is happy, we as his subordinates should
also be happy.”
The HR manager was stunned momentarily. The atmosphere in the CEO's office is very tense now. Are
you sure he is in a good mood?
“Mr. Derner, go ahead with your work. I have to go back to work now.”
Liam narrowed his eyes as he noticed the expression on the HR manager's face when he left. What did
that expression mean?
She hod no confidence in herself becouse even if she hod the copobility, she hod no quolificotions, so it
would not be eosy to lond o job with good poy.
Gwendolyn pursed her lips ond mumbled to herself, “Gwendolyn, don't be ofroid. You con't be on
ungroteful person. Think obout the most difficult times thot you've been through, the times when you
were the most helpless. Who wos the one who helped you? Zoyden needs you now, ond the only woy
