Chapter 147 The Reason for Resignation
Stella’s sharp and angry voice came through the door.
Evelyn frowned. She didn’t want to eavesdrop, but now she couldn’t move. After all, it had something to do with her.
Charlie did not speak for a long time. Stella had been talking alone. In the end, the man said coldly, “Are you done?”
“Lawyer Athena, why don’t you believe me?” After Stella vented her anger, she suddenly calmed down. “Can’t you feel my admiration for you?”
Charlie spoke again. His voice was filled with impatience. “I treat you as a colleague. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
A few seconds later, the office door was pushed open from the inside. Evelyn was almost hit in the nose, but fortunately, she avoided it.
Seeing Evelyn, Stella seemed to be a little surprised. Her eyes were still red, but soon she sneered, “Evelyn, how dare you come? Are you happy that Lawyer Athena resigns because of you? You’re really natural and graceful to stand here and eavesdrop!”
Evelyn was expressionless, saying, “If you gossip about others
secretly, you should be prepared for your words to be heard by others.”
“You!”
Without waiting for her to finish, Evelyn left.
There was no need to argue with someone who was prejudiced against you because no matter what you said, she would not believe it.
In the office, Charlie was packing his things. When he heard the voice, he didn’t even raise his head and said, “Didn’t I tell you to go out?”
Evelyn stood in front of his desk and said, “Lawyer Athena, it’s me.”
When Charlie heard her voice, his body stiffened. He looked up at her with confusion and surprise. “Why are you here?”
“I heard that you’re going to resign…” She looked at the big cardboard box on his desk, which contained his personal belongings. “Can I ask you why you suddenly resigned?”
Charlie paused for a moment and said with a bitter smile, “Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”
Her heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, it was as she had expected. Perhaps this matter had something to do with her.

Charlie looked straight into her eyes and said, “President Lloyd personally gave the order to fire me this time.”
“What?” Evelyn was shocked.
Charlie carefully distinguished the emotions on her face. It didn’t seem like she was faking it. It seemed that she really didn’t know.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, it was not Evelyn who played tricks and caused him to leave. That was enough.
However, there was one thing that he was still very confused about. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn’t help asking, “Evelyn, do you know President Lloyd?”
She didn’t want to lie to someone who had helped her a lot at work, but she had no choice but to hide it. “I don’t know him. What’s wrong?”
Charlie shook his head. “Nothing. Maybe I’m thinking too much.”
Based on a man’s intuition and understanding of the men, he had a feeling that Huston’s feelings for Evelyn were not simple. If they knew each other, then their relationship would definitely not be simple. If they didn’t, then it might be that Huston had a favorable impression of her.
No matter what, she had caught his eye.

didn’t resign on his own accord, so it must have something to do with Huston.
When she realized that they had discussed this issue before, the fire in her heart seemed to have been doused with gasoline, and it quickly burned. She went straight to the president’s office without hesitation.
