My Boyfriend Said He Didn’t Want the Baby

chapter 3

The next day, I was the first to arrive at the company.

It wasn't because I loved my job, but because I needed to handle my resignation.

Standing in the hallway, I took countless deep breaths to prepare myself mentally.

The final step of resignation required the president, Albert, to sign.

How should I come up with a reasonable excuse to get his approval?

I thought and thought, but still couldn't figure it out.

After pacing around the doorway several times, the office door suddenly opened.

Esme said, "This is all your fault. If you hadn't been so rough last night, how would my back hurt?"

Her voice, tinged with laughter, reached my ears.

I froze, then looked in the direction of the voice.

Albert had a smile on his face, one hand gently resting on Esme's waist.

The gentle expression on his face was something I had never received.

However, the moment they saw me, a trace of panic flashed in both their eyes.

Esme quickly coughed.

She said, "Violet, don't get the wrong idea. We played badminton together last night, and I twisted my waist."

Although she said that, the blush on her face still made people overthink.

I knew she was deliberately provoking me, but I didn't want to pay attention to them.

I just handed the document to Albert.

Then, I said, "Sign it."

Albert frowned and looked at me.

He said, "Haven't I already signed all the documents? What new business do you have now?"

As he spoke, he was about to flip through the document.

My heart instantly tensed up, and my mind was racing.

I was thinking about how to answer his question later.

But I didn't expect Esme to snatch the document away the next second.

Esme said, "I remember this. It seems like business that should've been handled long ago. It's just that the other partner kept delaying. Now, we can finally get rid of her. Albert, go ahead and sign it."

I immediately realized she was insulting me.

Yes, I should have parted ways with Albert long ago.

It was always me who didn't want to leave.

Albert said, "So that's how it is. Then I'm relieved. You're always reliable."

At this moment, his eyes were filled with affection.

He no longer wanted to delve into the contents of the document and simply signed his name.

The weight in my heart suddenly lifted.

I let out a deep breath.

I am finally free.

Seeing how relaxed I was, Albert looked a bit puzzled.

He asked, "Is this document important to you? Why do you have that expression?"

I looked down at the ground.

Then, I said, "Of course, it's very important."

Albert glanced again at the document in my hand.

But out of trust for Esme, he didn't ask anything.

Esme clutched her waist in pain, while Albert glanced at me.

He asked me tentatively, "Violet, Esme is already in pain. It shouldn't be a problem if I massage her, right? After all, she still has to negotiate business for the company this afternoon."

I said, "Of course, no problem. Youre good partners, helping each other is the right thing to do."

I smiled very innocently.

My goal was achieved. Who would still bother with him?

Albert had long been prepared for me to throw a tantrum like before.

So seeing me so sensible, he was actually a bit surprised.

Albert asked, "Is what you said true?"

I nodded generously.

Then, I said, "Of course. After all, like you said, without Esme's hard work, how could I have a good life? I should be grateful."

Albert felt something was off about my words, but he couldn't figure it out.

He just stared at me blankly.

I waved my bag and said, "Take good care of Esme. I'm heading home."

Perhaps feeling he went a bit too far, Albert coughed and tried to grab my arm.

He said, "I'll come home tonight to have dinner with you."

I said, "No need. I have plans with friends tonight."

Then, I smiled and pulled my hand away.

Then, under Albert's surprised gaze, I left without looking back.
