Chapter 528
Since George Ken was unwilling to say anything, Karen Daly could only leave the room. Just as she
left, she received a call from Hector Cheng.
She emailed Hector her resignation letter just beforeing to George''s room, so the call must be
rted to her resignation.
Karen picked up, "Director Cheng?"
"Karen, you were doing just fine. Why did you suddenly resign?"
Hector was quite young, but he sure sounded old, he spoke to her like an elder advising his
disciple.
Karen had already thought of a reason for her resignation, "Director, it''s because my health is not
doing so well. I hope you can understand."
"Karen, it''s not that I don''t want to approve your resignation, but we''re short of designers now.
Spring ising soon, and we can''t just find a suitable designer at thest minute." Hector heaved
a long sigh and added, "If we can''t deliver the "Romance of the Wind" collection in time, I''m afraid I
can''t keep my paycheck."
Karen did not answer.
PM Corporation was arge, internationalpany. There were dozens of designers in their office.
To be honest, Karen really didn''t make much of a difference.
Even after she left, they would be able to find a designer to take over the "Romance" collection
immediately.
Hector continued convincing her. "How about you hang on for a bit more? You can resign once
you''re done with the "Romance" collection. Then you cane back whenever you feel better."
There wasn''t actually any problem with her health, but she just didn''t want to see that disgusting
Henry. If not for his appearance, she definitely wouldn''t leave at such a critical period of time.
"Karen, are you listening to me?" Hector hasn''t given up. He insisted on guilt-tripping Karen.
"Director Cheng, I''ve made up my mind. If you don''t approve of my resignation, I''ll just forego this
month''s sry." Because in Karen''s heart, Kevin was the most important person. Hector''s future
had nothing to do with her.
She was not a person with too muchpassion. If she could be convinced so easily, she could run
a charity organization already.
"What are you talking about..." Hector sighed and said, "If you insist on leaving, I won''t force you to
stay. I just need you toe to the office to settle your resignation procedures. I''ll exin to the
human resources department."
Karen was the boss of thepany. No matter how bold he was, he had to know where to draw the
line. If Kevin noticed anything out of line, he would be done for.
"Thank you, Director Cheng!" Karen hung up and sighed a sigh of relief.
Karen didn''t notice that Hector was calling her spare phone at home. This phone number wasn''t
registered in thepany''s records, so he shouldn''t know if this number under normal
circumstances...
Karen went to the office after lunch.
First, she had to settle her resignation procedures, then she had to take back her phone from that
Henry.
Hector probably exined to the human resources department already, so Karen settled her
resignation procedures quite easily.
But Henry wasn''t in the office.
"Karen, why did you quit so suddenly?" Karen was a very nice colleague, Lori couldn''t bear seeing
her leave.
"I have some family matters." Karen smiled but her eyes were scanning through the office for Henry.
"Lori, did Henry pass you anything to give to me?"
Although she knew that he wouldn''t be so kind as to pass the phone to Lori, Karen asked hopefully.
"Nope." Lori shook her head and added, "Henry left in the morning after receiving a phone call. He
didn''t say where he was headed to."
"Oh, then I''ll wait for a while more." Karen did not want toe to thepany again, so she had
to take her mobile phone back today. However, Henry still hadn''t returned to the office after a long
time.
Growing impatient, Karen dialed her phone that was with Henry. If he left it in the office, that would
be great; but if he didn''t, then she would just wait a while more.
While she was waiting for the line to go through, Karen scratched her head in frustration. The line
got through after a long time, but just as Karen was about to speak, it got cut off.
A generic message said that the phone line is upied. Karen felt annoyed and tried calling again.
This time, she heard another generic line, ''The number you are calling is unavable''.
"What on earth does he want to do?"
Since she couldn''t get her phone back, Karen had no choice but to use the ''I Lost My Phone''
function to wipe off all the data and information on her phone that was with Henry. Then she went to
apply for another sim card.
By the time she was done, it wasn''t veryte yet, but the sky was very dark because of the rain.
Karen checked the time. There was still a while more before Kevin got off work. Rovio office was
just nearby anyway, so she decided to head to his office to wait for him to get off work.
After walking for about ten minutes, Karen arrived at the Rovio office building. The receptionist of
the building recognized her, so she did not stop her from going upstairs.
Karen went straight to the director''s office floor. Kevin''s secretary was surprised to see her, but
immediately put up a big smile. "Mrs. Kyle, the director is in a meeting. Would you like to rest in the
lounge first?"
"Umm, can I take a look at his office?" Karen smiled politely. She wanted to see how Kevin usually
work in his office.
"Of course." The secretary hurriedly led the way.
What happened in the past two months was still fresh in their memories. Everyone knew how
important Karen was to the director. Who would dare to stop her from going anywhere?
"Then you can go and get busy. I''ll just take a look around by myself. Since Director Kevin is in a
meeting, there is no need to tell him about me." Karen wanted to give Kevin a surprise. He must be
happy to see her suddenly appear in his office.
Kevin''s office was furnished in a simplistic manner. Even the color scheme he used was the usual
white and grey color scheme which he always used everywhere.
If not for the size of the office and its amazing location, where one could see the heart of Chatterton
Town from the tall windows, it was quite difficult to tell that this office belonged to the director of
Rovio.
Karen sat on Kevin''s roller chairfortably as she crossed her legs and spun around.
Although the chair looked normal, it was very sturdy. It was tailor-made to Kevin''s figure, so Karen
looked very small sitting on it.

She wanted to imitate Kevin sitting in the chair and giving his orders, but the chair didn''tpliment
her well. She identally pressed on something and the chair was moving on its own. It took her a
few trials and errors to stop the movements.
When the movements stopped, Karen raised her head and saw the photograph on Kevin''s desk.
It was their family photograph.
The three of them had never gone for a formal photography session before. This photo was a
candid photo from Little Karen''s birthday, taken by the hired photographer.
