This man knew no shame! After all that had transpired, he could still utter such callous words without changing his expression.
Aveline took a deep breath and asked, “Not going to the company?”
Lucas looked at her, feeling a bit disappointed but said nothing, instead starting the car. The
atmosphere in the car was strangely tense.
By the time they reached the company, Aveline had composed herself and entered the building without looking back.
Lucas‘ gaze followed her slender figure, his eyes darkening as he noted her graceful walk, even in a simple shirt and trousers,
It was already past working hours, so not many people were at the entrance.
Aveline’s arrival from Lucas‘ car went unnoticed.
As she stepped out of the elevator, Gwen passed by, and paused, wanting to say something, but held back. Aveline keenly sensed the change in her attitude but didn’t dwell on it.
Aveline planned to resign.
Since she had been removed from the Brighton Enterprises project team, she finished her current tasks and submitted her resignation. Gwen’s expression stiffened when she saw it. “Why do you want to resign?”
Aveline replied, “It’s written in the resignation letter.
Gwen’s face darkened, thinking her attitude was poor.
However, recalling Desmond’s words, she suppressed her temper and said, “This resignation needs the CEO’s approval. Go back and wait.”
Aveline frowned. “Ms. Scoot, I’m just a mere employee. Isn’t it unnecessary to get the CEO’s approval?”
I
Gwen insisted, “If I say it’s needed, then it is. Leave!”
Aveline curled her lips slightly and turned to leave. Gwen’s eyes flashed with disdain as she looked at the resignation letter, ultimately handing it to Desmond.
Desmond’s expression turned serious when he saw Aveline’s resignation letter, and he immediately knocked on the CEO’s office door.
“Mr. Tudor, Miss Young has subrhitted her resignation again.”
Lucas, who was working on some documents, frowned upon hearing this. “Have her come over.”
Desmond replied, “Yes, sir.”
Aveline had just returned to her desk when the phonein front of her rang. She answered, “Hello?”

Desmond’s cheerful voice came through. “Miss Young, Mr. Tudor wants to see you.
Aveline asked, “What for?”
Desmond replied, “I’m not sure about that. Perhaps you could ask Mr. Tudor yourself?”
His tone was very respectful.
This woman was, after all, Lucas‘ wife, the First Lady of DK Group!
Although there were conflicts between them, they hadn’t divorced yet, so she shouldn’t be easily
offended.
Aveline felt an inexplicable irritation but knew that if she wanted to resign, she had to talk to Lucas.
She hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and went straight to the CEO’s office.
She knocked on the door, and a deep, magnetic male voice responded from inside.
“Come in.”
Aveline pushed the door open and walked in, asking, “What is it, Mr. Tudor?”
Lucas looked deeply at her. “Why do you want to resign?
Aveline replied, “Don’t you know why I want to resign?
Lucas said, “I don’t.”
Aveline fell silent.
She was furious!
However, since his approval was needed for her resignation, she couldn’t confront him directly.
Her clear eyes looked at him. “What will it take for you to approve?”
Lucas looked at her intently and said, “Come here.”
Aveline frowned, a bit resistant.
Lucas set her resignation letter aside and stopped looking at her.
It was clear–if she didn’t comply, he wouldn’t consider the matter.
