A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 156

Jason left A City, and before he left, he sent a message to Eleanor.

[I’m going back, won’t bother you anymore, take good care of yourself]

It was a short message, but it showed his respect for her.

Eleanor’s eyes welled up with tears upon reading the message. Garett, her ever–supportive partner, always ensured she wasn’t placed in difficult situations.

She contemplated responding with a simple “okay,” but she feared it would cause him pain. Replying seemed deliberate, so she suppressed her sadness, set her phone aside, and gathered her belongings.

Having severed ties with both Bernard and Jason, she believed they wouldn’t come looking for her anymore. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She could finally depart in peace.

However, before leaving, she needed to visit the Ratliff Group to submit her resignation and find a suitable opportunity to speak with Hailey.

Arriving at the Ratliff Group, she headed straight to the president’s office.

Sophie, who had just returned, was seated on the sofa, engrossed in her phone.

Upon spotting Eleanor’s entrance, Sophie raised an eyebrow, crossed her legs, leaned back, and adopted a superior posture, fixing her, gaze upon Eleanor.

“Eleanor, why are you back at the Ratliff Group instead of taking care of Mr. Clowers?“,

Her tone was unfriendly, as if she was blaming Eleanor for abandoning her post.

Eleanor ignored her arrogance and said lightly, “Mr. Clowers has gone back to B City. Ms. Ratliff, isn’t it time for you to fulfill your promise and approve my resignation?”

She didn’t necessarily need this resignation certificate, but she wanted to resolve everything before leaving.

Sophie was taken aback when she learned that Jason had already returned to B City. After a moment of surprise, she observed Eleanor from head to toe.

“So, Mr. Clowers didn’t take you with him…” she murmured, a hint of disappointment evident in her voice.

Sophie had assumed that if Jason had shown interest in Eleanor, he would have brought her along. In that scenario, Sophie could have transferred Eleanor to the Ratliff Group’s branch in B City, leveraging her connection with Jason for personal gain.

However, it appeared that Jason was no different from any other man, toying with Eleanor and then discarding her. It seemed that Eleanor didn’t possess the capability to…

Sophie decided not to make things difficult for her. In the world of capitalism, if a pawn becomes useless, it is promptly discarded.

She picked up her phone, clicked “agree” on the group system, and authorized Eleanor to proceed with the handover procédures under Rosita’s guidance.

See, it was such a simple matter. It had only required a single action, yet Eleanor had taken an unnecessarily long time.

Regaining her focus, Eleanor went to find Rosita, who, with Sophie’s approval, promptly organized the necessary handover arrangements.

“You can hand over your work to Jeannie. She just got promoted recently and can take over your job.“,

Eleanor nodded, took the handover procedure, and went to the president’s office.

Colleagues inside were surprised to see her back, then began to whisper to each other, as if discussing her.

Eleanor didn’t care, walked to Jeannie’s desk, and gently patted her shoulder.

Jeannie was busy dealing with a bunch of data, and when she felt someone patting her shoulder, she immediately looked up.

Jeannie’s face lit up with joy upon recognizing Eleanor. Her round, cheerful countenance was immediately evident as she exclaimed, “Eleanor, you’re back at the company?”

Eleanor couldn’t help but smile as Jeannie’s smile washed away the heaviness in her heart. She replied, “I’ve returned to tender my resignation. Rosita requested that I transfer my work responsibilities to you. Do you have a moment?”

Jeannie nodded eagerly, assuring, “Of course. But Eleanor, you’re really not going to work here anymore?”

Eleanor responded gently with a simple “yes.” Sensing Eleanor’s reluctance to delve further into the matter, Jeannie refrained from asking any more questions,

She accepted the handover form from Eleanor, signed her name, and assured, “You can trust me with all your work. I’ll take care of everything.”
