Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 133 - 128: A Dreamlike Truth
"Twinkle, your sister has some matters today, I may not be able to go."
"Huh? Sis, are you feeling unwell? Do you want Twinkle to accompany you to the hospital?"
Justin Hawthorne’s childish voice was particularly endearing, warming Laura Quincy’s heart. But just thinking that he was her son, that strange feeling returned.
Hard to explain or put into words...
Laura Quincy shook her head, "No need, it’s just that work has been a bit troubling, but it’ll be fine tomorrow. It’s getting late, Twinkle, you should rest early."
"Okay, you too, sis! Rest early!"
From the first time she saw Twinkle, she genuinely liked him. Every time she’s with him, there’s an indescribable sense of familiarity...
And he was very attached to her. Initially, she thought it was just her charm over kids, but now she understands...
It’s the unbreakable bond of blood.
She found a step to sit down on, watching the people coming and going in the park, listening to their laughter, which only made her feel more lonely...
Nina Pierce, although very worried about her friend, knew Laura needed some personal space to process everything she had been through that day.
Some things, no matter how much others say, are futile.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Laura Quincy got up and applied a fresh and simple makeup, wearing a white shirt, a beige knit V-neck sweater, a pencil skirt, and a dark gray coat.
Her waist-length chestnut curls fell behind her. In the mirror, she looked intellectual and charming, exuding the mature competence of a city woman.
Laura Quincy took a deep breath and headed out with her bag. She was going to her company to officially resign. After such a revelation, she could no longer face Jason Hawthorne, let alone continue working there as if nothing had happened.
Her life had a gap, and she had to find it back herself.
In Stella Jennings’ office.
Laura Quincy handed over the resignation letter she had already printed out, "Team Leader Jennings, this is my resignation letter."
Stella Jennings glanced at the clear three words on the white paper, then looked up at Laura Quincy, giving an unrelated comment, "Were you dumped by President Hawthorne?"
Laura Quincy didn’t even lift her eyelids, casually retorting, "Team Leader Jennings, is this a work-related topic?"
Stella Jennings clenched her fists, "What if I say it is?"
Laura Quincy coolly raised an eyebrow, her gaze piercing and cold, "If it’s unrelated to work, I think I can refuse to answer."
Stella Jennings was so furious she wanted to flip the table, "Laura Quincy, what right do you have to be smug in front of me? Your resignation is just because you can’t stay here any longer!"
Laura Quincy smiled, "No! Team Leader Jennings, you’re wrong. My resignation means I’ve fired you all."
Before Stella Jennings could speak, she continued, "Since Team Leader Jennings has agreed, I’ll leave first. I’ll find a colleague to hand over the work-related matters."
With that, she prepared to leave.
She didn’t want to stay here at all, hoping to wrap up the handover procedures by morning and be completely free by the afternoon.
Watching her back, Stella Jennings was so angry she could spit blood. Laura Quincy had a stubborn mouth, not revealing a single piece of information!
Since she voluntarily resigned, there was naturally no reason to refuse her.
Laura Quincy returned to her desk and began to pack her things. Crystal Langley and Quinn Chase quickly gathered around, "Are you going on a business trip again?"
Laura Quincy paused slightly in her packing, "No, I’ve resigned."
Now it was Crystal Langley and Quinn Chase’s turn to be shocked, "What? Resigned? Why?"
They both spoke almost simultaneously, knowing that Aegis Group was Aethelburg’s best company, with countless people even scrambling to get in. Employees who managed to join would have to do something wrong or fail their internship to get fired, but they’ve never heard of anyone resigning voluntarily...
Where can you find a place with such good pay, treatment, and benefits!
Laura Quincy lightly curled her lips, "Personal reasons."
Crystal Langley pouted, "Hasn’t Laura been involved in our company’s big case recently? I heard you were even chosen by Counselor Xavier as the designated translation assistant. Did Counselor Xavier do something to you...?"
Laura Quincy had a deadpan expression, "Counselor Xavier chose me as his translation assistant because we’re high school classmates and are more familiar with each other. As for his character, he’s definitely a gentleman in the true sense, courteous and refined, with not a bit of pretense."
Quinn Chase couldn’t help but interject, "Wow! You really hold Counselor Xavier in high esteem!"
Laura Quincy shrugged, "Just speaking the truth."
Suddenly, a soft cough sounded from behind. The three girls turned around simultaneously. At the sight of the newcomer, Crystal Langley and Quinn Chase’s eyes sparkled with pink hearts.
Wow! It’s the first time seeing Counselor Xavier up close, usually just catching a brief view from afar...
He truly was an elegant man, gentle as jade!
Laura Quincy’s ears tinged with a hint of red. Cough... Hopefully, he didn’t hear what she said just now?
Although everything she said was true, would it cause Counselor Xavier to misunderstand!
Jonah Xavier looked at Laura Quincy with eyes so gentle they could drip water, "Do you need any help?"
Laura Quincy shook her head, "There isn’t much stuff, I can manage myself. Are you not busy over there?"
Jonah Xavier walked over and glanced at her desk, "No matter how busy, I still need to get some fresh air. Being locked in that room makes the mind dull."
Laura Quincy couldn’t help but tease, "Even the great Counselor Xavier can have moments of a dull mind? I thought you were invincible!"
```
Jonah Xavier chuckled softly, "I wish I were that impressive."
Crystal Langley and Quinn Chase stood to the side, nearly melting under Jonah Xavier’s smile. He was truly a perfect man! So different from the president or Young Master Thorne!
Laura Quincy seemed to have a thought, "By the way, will anything happen on your side after I resign?"
Jonah Xavier shook his head, "No worries, just follow your own thoughts. You don’t need to worry too much."
Laura Quincy bit her lip, "Okay."
Quinn Chase, her face flushed, interrupted, "Counselor Xavier, you and Laura are really high school classmates? I really envy how well you guys still get along. Can you sign an autograph for me? I really admire you."
Jonah Xavier’s smile was calm and serene, "High school friendships are the most precious."
Crystal Langley echoed, "A lot of my friends say that too. My best friends are also from high school!"
Jonah Xavier chuckled lightly, "That’s indeed the case."
Meanwhile, on the fifty-ninth floor.
Mason Cross rushed to the BOSS’s office after learning about Laura Quincy’s resignation, speaking quickly, "BOSS, Miss Quincy is currently processing her resignation."
Jason Hawthorne’s eyes suddenly showed a flash of anger, "I haven’t agreed. Who allowed her to resign?"
Mason Cross bowed his head, "Team Leader Jennings has already agreed."
Jason Hawthorne stood up in anger, "What good is her approval? Call Laura Quincy right now and ask her to come to my office!"
Mason Cross couldn’t help but sweat, this...
What’s the situation?
No choice, the BOSS gave the order; he could only comply.
However—
The person who answered the phone was not Laura Quincy but the receptionist, Crystal Langley. When she heard it was the president’s special assistant, her voice became a bit flustered.
"Assistant Cross, you’re looking for Laura Quincy? I think she went to the HR department."
"Go find her right away and have her come to the fifty-ninth floor."
"Oh..."
Crystal Langley responded in a daze and then realized the call had been hung up.
She thought for two seconds that Laura Quincy’s resignation had caused such a stir on the fifty-ninth floor? Did she do something wrong?
Violet Whitman had just returned from delivering documents. Seeing her dazed look, she couldn’t help but ask, "What’s up?"
Crystal Langley replied truthfully, "Assistant Cross just called asking me to find Laura Quincy and have her go to the fifty-ninth floor immediately. He sounded very anxious. Do you think Laura might have done something wrong, which is why she’s in such a hurry to resign?"
Violet Whitman pondered, "I don’t know either, but since he asked you to find her, you should hurry up."
Crystal Langley then walked to the HR department, just in time to catch Laura Quincy as she was about to get a stamp, "Laura, you should head to the fifty-ninth floor first! Assistant Cross urgently needs you."
Laura Quincy didn’t show much panic, she simply responded, "Oh..."
Then, she didn’t move.
Crystal Langley, anxious, grabbed her hand, "Hey! Didn’t you hear me? Assistant Cross is looking for you!"
Laura Quincy glanced at her, "Just because he’s looking for me, I have to go?"
Crystal Langley was dumbfounded, seemingly unable to believe Laura Quincy would say such a thing, "Laura, Assistant Cross is the president’s most favored person, practically second only to the boss here. You..."
Laura Quincy frowned, "I’ve already resigned. What does it matter to me if he’s royalty?"
Crystal Langley looked at her, speechless, "But... Assistant Cross wants you to go, how should I explain it?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Laura Quincy shrugged, "Just say you didn’t see me or that I refused to go, put the blame on me."
Crystal Langley thought: This is classic resignation behavior, not afraid of anything!
As the two were talking, the HR department director, who was about to stamp the resignation letter, suddenly received a call, and then placed the resignation letter aside as if it were a hot potato.
Laura Quincy understood immediately what was going on, "Even if you don’t stamp it today, I am determined to resign."
Finishing her sentence, she picked up her bag to leave.
Jason Hawthorne thought a small stamp could block him? Stella Jennings has already approved it, what reason does he have to disagree?
It was originally a matter that Stella Jennings had the authority over, so why should he overstep?
Crystal Langley, afraid she might walk away, grabbed her hand, "Laura, you’re really not going to the fifty-ninth floor?"
Laura Quincy shook her head firmly, "No."
Then, without looking at Crystal Langley’s expression, she turned and left.
Crystal Langley opened her mouth but, in the end, said nothing. Somehow, the Laura Quincy today seemed so regal to her, with such an overwhelming presence!
Was this really just because she was resigning?
So she didn’t care anymore?
