Richest Mogul

Chapter 603 

Edgar felt concerned when he realized that Joe hadn’t mentioned his birthday to Skylar 

After a moment, Edgar sighed again. “Mr. Martin is rather pitiful. He’s only celebrated with Mrs. Martin Senior. But this year, you’ll be with him.” 

It was indeed a heart–wrenching story. Edgar felt quite clever for his insight. 

Skylar replied, “We have a reservation tonight. Thanks for the reminder, Edgar. We won’t see Mrs. Martin Senior tonight, then.

After ending the call, Skylar chose a gift at the mall across the street during her lunch break. 

The mall was filled with a dazzling array of items–men’s clothing, bags, and more. She was at a loss about what to get Joe for his birthday. 

She might have had more time to select something thoughtful if she had known two days in advance. 

Joe’s clothing was all custom–made. Suddenly, she spotted a pair of matching couple’s loungewear in the display. The Joungewear featured adorable deer embroidery on the front. 

She wondered what it would be like if she and Joe wore matching loungewear at home. In fact, she wondered what Joel would look like in such loungewear. It was hard to imagine, so 

Skylar bought it on a whim. 

Since loungewear couldn’t serve as the main birthday gift, she 

also bought a ring that could be engraved on the spot. She chose a design featuring a flower symbolizing safety and engraved ‘Happy Birthday‘ on it. 

The craftsmanship of the jeweler was impressive. The drawing 

was almost identical to the one she had made. 

The gift wasn’t expensive, but it was heartfelt. 

Natalie returned to the studio. Everyone else had been given a day off by Austin. Only Austin and Hank were present. 

“Sorry, Mr. Powell, Hank. I’m here to resign.” 

Natalie had prepared a lot to say. However, when the time came, she found herself at a loss. The resignation sounded very awkward as it came out 

“Resign?” Hank immediately looked at Austin 

Austin’s cold and serious face revealed a hint of 

profoundness. “Natalie, I’ve said that his blacklist won’t affect me. This matter will be resolved in time. You don’t need to resign out of guilt.” 

Austin wondered what Jeremy had said to Natalie after her visit. He had turned a bright woman like her into someone so downcast 

Hank wasn’t sure where Austin’s confidence came from. But over the past two years, he had sensed that Austin seemed to

Austin wondered what Jeremy had said to Natalie after her visit. He had turned a bright woman like her into someone so 

downcast. 

Hank wasn’t sure where Austin’s confidence came from. But over the past two years, he had sensed that Austin seemed to 

be hiding a secret that had been kept for over a decade. 

Even Austin couldn’t guess what it was, but he felt there were subtle hints of it. 

“Listen to Mr. Powell. There’s no need to resign. Mr. Powell is taking a break right now. Besides, if you leave now, it could affect his performance at upcoming events abroad,” Hank said; trying to persuade her. 

Hank thought, “One shouldn’t fear power, right?” 

Natalie stared at the two people in front of her. “Mr. Powell, if I stay, no one in the industry here will dare to cast you in a film.‘ 

To Austin, acting was everything. Without roles to play, it would be extremely unfair to him 

“I can’t let your career suffer because of me. I can’t be that selfish. Besides, personal issues have already affected my work. I really shouldn’t stay. I’m truly sorry.” 

Austin knew Natalie was determined to leave. After a moment of silence, he said, “I won’t accept your resignation, but you can take a month off. Use this month to sort out your issues. As for Hank and me, our careers will turn around within this month. You can come back then.” 

“Yes, take a month off,” Hank immediately echoed. 

He then sneaked a glance at Austin and mused over the statement. A month? Austin must be very confident to provide such a precise time frame. 

Natalie could only agree. Besides, there was another 

troublesome matter waiting for her next. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
