Chapter 4

When I arrived at the conference room, Julian was flipping through documents.

Seeing me appear, he put down his papers, looked up, and met my gaze with clear eyes:

“Why do you want to resign?”

【Just ask her directly. My current image should be tall, handsome, and a little cold, right?】

【She better be smart and ask for less money. The company just started stabilizing; if she asks for too much, I can’t afford it, and I’ll just flip this desk and send her flying!】

Even though I knew my golden finger was mind-reading, I still wasn’t used to Julian, who was so sparing with words on the surface, being so chaotic in his mind.

Mainly, it was just too loud.

I coughed to hide my embarrassment and said earnestly:

“Mr. Julian, my mother fell and hurt her leg. I need to take care of her!”

The implication was that I didn’t *want* to resign; it was just because I had to care for my mother.

Julian understood my meaning, pondered for a moment:

“Triple salary. You’re not allowed to resign!”

I nodded frantically.

With a mission bonus and Julian’s triple salary, a person should be content. If I didn’t agree, I’d be truly ungrateful.

Before six that afternoon, the company’s annual bonus landed in my account. I counted the triple bonus.

Feeling ecstatic, now, let alone digging coal, they could ask me to dig graves, and I’d do it.

Julian must have sensed my firm resolve to resign, so he approved seven days of leave for me to deal with my mother’s situation.

Without me by his side, he had to leave Blair to handle things. Perfect, they could develop their relationship, and Julian could appreciate Blair’s stubborn and innocent looks up close.
