A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 70

The alarm clock had been ringing for quite a while before she finally heard it, drowsily waking up from her dream.

She picked up her phone and saw it was 9 a.m., which was not too bad, at least it wasn’t 4 or 5 p.m. this time.

Her job at VitaLife Global started at 10 a.m., so she still had some time.

After getting up and quickly washing up, she grabbed her bag and went to the company.

Recalling that Rosita asked her to hand over her work yesterday, she didn’t go back to her office but directly went to the top floor.

Eleanor knocked on Rosita’s office door, “Rosita, I’m here to hand over my work.”

Upon seeing her, Rosita’s expression changed slightly, “Come in.”

Eleanor walked to her desk and respectfully asked, “Amanda doesn’t want to take over my job, so who should I hand it over to?”

Thinking of what Sophie had ordered yesterday, Rosita said somewhat embarrassedly, “Eleanor, you’ve been working here for five years. You can’t just quit when you want to. Can you keep working until I find someone suitable to replace you?”

There were so many assistants in the President’s office. Why not just hand over the work to one of them instead of waiting for a suitable replacement?

Eleanor frowned and asked, “Didn’t you text me yesterday morning asking me to hand over my work? Why did you change your mind so soon?”

Seeing that Eleanor was not easy to fool, Rosita just told the truth Ms. Ratliff approved your resignation yesterday morning, so I messaged you to come and hand over your work. But not long after, she changed her mind.”

Eleanor frowned and asked coldly, “Why?”

Rosita shrugged, “I’m not too sure myself. If you want to know the exact reason, you better ask Ms. Ratliff. I’m just following orders.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Eleanor’s face darkened gradually, but she knew that it had nothing to do with Rosita and that Sophie was the problem.

She didn’t say anything more to Rosita and went straight to Sophie’s President’s office.

Sophie was sitting in her spacious office, talking on the phone in a gentle tone, asking the person on the other end if they had breakfast.

Eleanor didn’t need to listen closely to know who she was talking to

She hesitated for a moment but still knocked on the door and interrupted their conversation.

Sophie recognized her and quickly put down her phone, asking, “Eleanor, is there something you need from me?”

Eleanor didn’t beat around the bush either and asked directly, “Ms. Ratliff, you said you would approve my resignation when you returned. Why hasn’t it been approved yet?”

Sophie glanced at her phone, showing a hint of impatience, “You offended Amanda. She instructed everyone not to take over your work. With all the information you have about our partners, we can’t afford to have no one replace you. We’ll approve your resignation once we find a suitable replacement.”

She was the CEO of the company, how could it be this hard to find a replacement? It was clearly intentional delay.

Eleanor was somewhat puzzled about what Sophie was thinking. Why was she making things difficult for her, an assistant?

Her expression grew heavy, but she still politely said, “I have an urgent matter and need to leave promptly. Please approve my resignation.”

Sophie clasped her hands together, leaning on her desk, and raised her eyes to ask, “Can you tell me what the urgent matter is?”

Eleanor initially wanted to tell her about her severe illness and inability to work, but she sensed a hint of disdain in Sophie’s eyes. So she tightly sealed her lips and remained silent.

At her silence, Sophie’s lips curled slightly upwards. “Amanda mentioned before that you wanted to marry a wealthy person, and I didn’t believe it. But it turns out that you slept with Mr. Clowers when you were only supposed to receive him yesterday. It seems you really want to marry into wealth, but…”

She deliberately paused and, with eyes filled with sarcasm, gave Eleanor a once–over. “You are indeed quite beautiful, but entering high society isn’t as easy as you think.”
