Chapter 598 A Bigger Disaster
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and naturally assumed that Charlie was just going through the motions with his polite remark
So I immediately expressed that I would definitely do the final job well, and at the same time, I was also very glad that I had just spoken out about resigning
Otherwise, I would have been taken by Charlie to the company headquarters for a business trip, and then I wouldn't have known when I could confront him about my resignation
Although there was a moment of embarrassment, fortunately, the outcome was relaxing
After coming down from Charlie's office, I returned to the office area of the research and development department as usual, without mentioning to any colleagues that I was going to resign
I thought this little incident had already passed today, but at the end of the workday, Charlie appeared in front of my office door again
Most of my colleagues in the office have already left by now, leaving only a few people passing by my office, inevitably greeting Charlie and then curiously glancing at me, as if they once again caught a whiff of gossip
With the lessons learned from previous occasions, I immediately adopted a professional attitude. When I saw Charlie standing outside my door, I did not invite him in but instead stood up and walked out in front of my colleagues, smiling as I asked
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Marilyn?"
My colleagues were all intelligent people, and they immediately realized that I was deliberately avoiding unnecessary gossip
They also politely greeted me and then quickly left together
Not long after, there were only two people left in the office area, me and Charlie
He crossed his arms and leaned against a desk, staring at me for a long time. Just as I was about to ask him what was wrong, he finally spoke up
"T really didn't know that you had already planned to resign, Olive. I thought we still had a long time to spend together."
There is nothing more terrifying than when your boss comes running to you with emotional cards after you have resigned
There are only two possible outcomes in this situation. Either your boss 1s still trying to retain you, or he wants to take advantage of your sudden guilt of resigning before you leave by assigning you some tasks that are not originally yours
But as I looked into Charlie's eyes, I always felt that he had a third intention
Of course, even if he had no intentions, I didn't want to engage in too much small talk with him
So I didn't respond to his previous statement, I just smiled and remained silent, waiting for his next words
Yes, I knew he would have the next sentenceThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Sure enough, Charlie continued to ask in my silence, "What are your plans after this? You don't really want to be a full-time mom, do you? After you left this morning, I thought for a long time and I just don't think you're the type of woman who can easily give up her career."
God, what kind of woman I am does not need you to label me!
I felt a bit displeased in my heart, but in order to avoid trouble, I simply responded, "There's no way around it. The children are too young, and being twins, we have to put in more effort than ordinary families."
The topic was brought up about children, and I thought it was the end, but little did I know it was the beginning of a conversation between
Charlie and me
Yes, his third attempt finally revealed itself when I mentioned the children
He leaned on the desk and seemed to ponder for a moment before looking at me again and saying
"Our families are actually quite similar, I mean... for the children, we are both relatively special families. You have twins to take care of, and as for me, Meteor lost his mother at a young age, so I also need to put in more effort to take care of him."
I looked up, neither confirming nor denying
Because every time he mentioned Meteor, it was a troublesome omen for me

I had already anticipated what he was going to
say next, and it turned out that my guess was completely correct
Charlie paused for a moment, and then gave me a signature smile. "Olive, even if you quit, we will still be friends. Meteor really likes you, and I was wondering... if it would be possible for us to bring Meteor to see you often after you leave
After all, he really likes you, and I don't want him to feel sad because of your resignation."
Thinking of that obedient and pitiful child, my heart was filled with various emotions
Until now, he is still being treated as a bargaining chip by his father, in a small negotiation with me
But I didn't want to talk to Charlie anymore, so I politely nodded and said, "Of course, I can." Then, I raised my hand to check the time and
made a gesture as if I had to go home immediately
Charlie immediately apologized, saying he hadn't noticed the time. So I bid him farewell smoothly, thinking that was the end of it
However, little did I know, a bigger disaster awaited me
