Chapter 289
Soan, the trash can by her feet was full of red petals and flower stems, almost overflowing. Done venting, Alicia put the rest of the flowers into arge
vase on her desk after a nce.
Breathlessly slumping on her desk, Alicia sighed as her fingertips drew circles. "I don''t want to quit. I don''t want to go to Scaver International. I don''t
want to go at all.”
Frederick was so overbearing, arrogant, and unreasonable. Why did she have to resign? Why did she have to choose between him and her job?
There was no conflict between the two!
She felt upset!
Just as she was feeling irritated and unmotivated to work, her cell
phone suddenly vibrated. Alicia opened it and saw a message from Frederick.
"Do you like it?"
Knowing that he was talking about the flowers, Alicia grunted. Quickly, she pulled out the trash can, took a picture, and sent it to him.
Cn the other end, Frederick was in the middle of a meeting. Looking at his phone, he could imagine her arrogant and angry face. At that, he couldn''t
help but chuckle.
It looked like she was still pissed off. Did she take it out on his flowers?
As if the temperature suddenly dropped, therge conference room abruptly fell silent. A dozen pairs of eyes were focused on the main seat.
Meanwhile, the department manager who was doing a presentation found his hands trembling while holding his materials.
Did he say something wrong?
Subconsciously, he looked at the data in his hand. Although the business growth rate was a bit low, it was still within thepany''s normal target.
As Frederick pondered upon what to reply to the text message, he lifted his eyes and remembered that he was still in a meeting. "Go on!"
A chill ran down the manager''s back, already drenched in sweat. Gulping, the manager continued stiffly.
"Due to the high number of holidays and staff changes this month, thepany''s sales return was significantly dyed. As a result, the growth rate
was slightly lower. We will definitely strive to increase another percentage point next month.”
Mm!”
After reading the summary report in his hand, Frederick gave hisment
"Keep up the good work! Talent is always our top priority. Don''t be stingy with welfare applications for the best employees. Of course, there is no
shortage of excellent talents in this society. All departments are equal. As long as you can meet thepany''s auditing standards, your sry will be
raised. Soaver International promises to treat everyone fairly. However, if anyone of you is found to be a bully or a scrounger, Scaver International will
not let you off the hook! If someone undermines thepany''s interests, don''t me me for not showing mercy. Thepany’s intention must be
clearly conveyed.”
After saying that, Frederick nced at Sophia at the side. "The wholepany will streamline the objectives once more."
"We have several big projectsing up soon. All departments must cooperate and work together. I don''t care if there is any conflict between
employees. Once you''re in here, you have to abide by my rules. If anyone damages thepany''s interests because of personal conflicts, you will be
held legally responsible depending on the severity of the situation. No matter how talented you are, you will be fired! Soaver International will never
hire such people!"
At that, everyone sat upright with a shiver. "Yes, Mr. Clements!"
Whichpany would dare hire an employee who had been fired from Soaver International? Who on earth would not want to stay in Scaver
International?
"Let''s continue.”
As the meeting turned formal again, Frederick snapped his phone shut and his focus returned.
Meanwhile. in the office of JT Trantion Service, Alicia was still in a state of distress. She didn''t know how to solve the dilemma at hand. It was the
first time she sat in the office with an empty head and two idle hands.
They had been together for some time. She knew that Frederick was a man of his word and a man of power. After a moment of pondering, she found
a way to get the ‘best of both worlds’.
After taking a deep breath, she typed her resignation letter and went to the director''s office with thest bit of hope.
When she came back, she arranged the handover of the work at hand. However, she did not tell any of her colleagues that she was going to resign
soon.
She was very reluctant to leave all of a sudden. Every time she packed, she cursed Frederick in her heart.
However, there was nothing like an absolute secret. After lunch, there was a small buzz in thepany. Many were talking about her ying up to
people of power and influence.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
During tea time, Miriam couldn''t help but ask, "Alicia, is this true? No wonder you are suddenly so generous, treating everyone to the most expensive
afternoon tea and even letting us order whatever we want."
Holding her arm, Miriam had a sad face. She obviously couldn''t bear to let go of Alicia!
"I have a family matter. I''m only
leaving temporarily. When I''m done
with it and ithepany still needs
me, I''ll be-béck! I don''t want to leave
either. Ldon''t want to leave if there’ Ss
any way out. I''m used to getting
along with everyone here. happy
warking here. I can bezy.and I
even have people clockirg me out.
How could I want to leave?" Content

Wasn''t Frederick only asking her to work at Soaver International? If she couldn''t refuse him, she''d make him fire her on his own ord! She didn''t
believe that he would let her sneak around and not fire her.
Therefore, she would definitely return to thispany!
"Alicia! I don''t wish for you to leave either. I''m at ease with you around. If it weren''t for you, my sry probably wouldn''t be enough to support my
family. Alicia, thepany can never let an excellent employee like you leave! Be sure to return!”
"Yes! With you here, our group will always be at the top of the rankings. If you''re gone, who''s going to help us get the bonus?”
"It''s too sudden!”
A wave of sadness slowly enveloped the office. Alicia felt very sentimental as well. For more than a year, she had been genuine with her colleagues
and all her efforts were not in vain. They all got along well.
"Don''t be like this. I''ll be back for
sure! As soon.as I finish taking care
of things at Rome, I''l be back. You
guys have te''watch my spot for me,
and let the new colleagues choose:
other empty seats. I''ll be back in
between one to three months]
p oniise toe back. Wheh that
Happens, I will treat everyone to a
big meal. Anyway, it''s a rare
asion that I treat you guys to
afternoon tea. Don''t waste it. Eat up
or it won''t taste good if it gets cold!"
"It''s not like we''re never going to see each other again. Don''t be so sad! Mira, here''s your favorite blueberry egg tart!”
"Daisy, this is your favorite taro roll and pumpkin pie.”
"Hurry. Hurry up and grab the milk tea. Here are the chicken wings and shrimp balls."
As Alicia handed out the snacks, she felt a lump on her throat. Although everyone felt a little sentimental about her resignation, they respected her
decision. Before leaving, Alicia passed Mira the cactus on her desk to care for.
She even gave them some odds and
ends on her desk. The day was a
downer for er. No matter what was
said about her outside, she didn''t
care. However, Alicia was o
apprehensive about her sudden:
separation from her colleagues with
whem she had worked. They had
always cared for each other. What''s
more, she had to go to a new and
unfamiliar environment. Content

At the end of her shift, her colleagues secretly gave her a small gift. Holding the beautiful dandelion in her arms and a crystal ball symbolizing
reunion’, Alicia couldn''t help but sob
"Thank you for the gifts! I am so happy to know you all. I hope that one day, I cane back to work with you all again!”
After hugging each other goodbye, Alicia then grabbed her organizing box and headed out the door.
