Chapter 375


    Patrick''s expression darkened as he scoffed. “Gwendolyn, since you have decided, then we''ll follow


    ording to your decision.”


    He pushed her away, picked up thendline phone, and dialed an internal line.


    “Come to the CEO''s office. Take Gwendolyn toplete 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


    entered the office.


    Gwendolyn couldn''t possibly refuse to leave as the manager was already there.


    Therefore, she nced 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 orter, she would be Mrs. Lowen.


    They thought Gwendolyn''s resignation meant that she would be getting married to Patrick soon, so


    they both smiled.


    “Congrattions!”


    Gwendolyn was stunned to hear them congratte her. She wondered why they would congratte


    her when she had just resigned.


    Are they congratting 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 thepany''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.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    She had no confidence in herself because even if she had the capability, she had no qualifications, so it


    would not be easy tond 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


    matters.


    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?
