Jake was one of Franklin's personal secretaries. The resignation letter surprised him greatly.
He was among the few at the company who knew about Maggie and Franklin's relationship. Anyone close to Franklin knew his
heart wasn't with Maggie.
er marriage, he remained cold toward her, rarely coming home. To get closer to and win over Franklin, Maggie had chosen to
work at Franklin's company. Her initial goal was to become his personal secretary. But Franklin refused.
Even the old master's intervention couldn't sway him. Finally, Maggie had to settle for joining the secretarial department as one
of many ordinary secretaries.
Initially, Jake worried she would cause chaos in the department. But the result surprised him.
Though Maggie would use her position to get closer to Franklin, she chose her moments wisely and never pushed too far.
Instead, perhaps hoping to earn his respect, she worked diligently and showed remarkable capability. Whether during pregnancy
or other times, she followed company procedures, never seeking special treatment. Over the years, she became the
department's team leader. Jake had always observed her feelings for Franklin. Honestly, he never imagined she would resign.
He couldn't believe she would willingly leave.
Her resignation now probably meant something had happened between them, unknown to him, leading to Franklin forcing her
out.
Despite her strong capabilities, Jake maintained professional courtesy, "I'll take your resignation and arrange for your
replacement soon."
"Alright." Maggie nodded and returned to her desk.

Jake worked for a while before reporting to Franklin online. As they were wrapping up their discussion, he suddenly remembered
Maggie's resignation,
"Oh, President Franklin, regarding-"

Although he had told Maggie he would arrange her replacement quickly, he wanted to gauge Franklin's thoughts on when exactly
she should leave.
If Franklin wanted her gone tomorrow, he would make immediate arrangements.
But as they
words reached his lips, he recalled what Franklin had said when Maggie first joined: handle all her company matters according to
standard procedures, no need to report specially to him.
wouldn't manage her affairs. And indeed, that's how it had been. Over these years, Franklin had never actively inquired about
Maggie's matters at work.
When encountering her at the company, he treated her completely like a stranger. During these years, Maggie had performed
excellently.
Two years ago, when they planned to promote her, considering Franklin's dislike of her, they had specifically mentioned it to him.
The implication being if he disapproved, they would drop it.
At the time, Franklin had frowned impatiently and reiterated that he wouldn't interfere, telling them to follow procedures. He had
said not to ask him about
Maggie's company matters again.

Seeing Jake's hesitation, Franklin frowned: "What is it?" Jake snapped back to attention: "Nothing." Since Franklin must already
know about Maggie's resignation but hadn't mentioned it, it clearly wasn't important to him. They should handle it like everything
else, according to company policy. With this thought, Jake said
nothing more.
Franklin ended the video call.
"What are you thinking about?" At noon, a colleague suddenly patted
Maggie's shoulder.
Maggie came back to herself, smiling and shaking her head: "Nothing."
"Not calling your daughter today?"

"No, not anymore." She usually called her daughter twice a day. Once at 1 AM, and once around
noon.
Her office colleagues all knew this. What they didn't know was that her daughter's father was their company's big boss.
After work, Maggie bought some groceries and several potted plants before heading home.
After dinner, she checked online for news about the technology expo. After reading, she made a
one call: "Please reserve a ticket for me for next month's technology
expo."
"Are you sure?" came the cold reply.
"The last two times you asked me to reserve tickets, you never showed up. So many people dream of these tickets, and you just
wasted them."

The annual domestic technology expo was a major event in the tech industry, and tickets weren't available to everyone. Their
company had received several exhibition spots, and many of their elite employees wanted to attend. For them, every spot was
extremely valuable.
"If I don't attend this time, I'll never ask you again." The other end went silent before hanging up.
Maggie knew this meant agreement. She smiled slightly.
What she hadn't mentioned was that she wanted to return to the company. As a partner, she had chosen to marry and have
children when the company was just starting, stepping back from the company to focus on family.
This had completely disrupted their development plans, causing them to miss many opportunities. Everyone had been both
angry and frustrated with her.
These past few years, they had barely kept in touch.
True, she wanted to return to the company, but after marriage, her focus had been entirely on family. She had been away from
the circle for too long.
She worried that if she returned to the company unprepared now, she wouldn't be able to keep up with their pace. So, she
planned to spend some time thoroughly understanding the current state of the industry before making specific plans. Over the
next few days, Maggie focused on work during office hours and handled her own affairs,

Of course, they didn't contact her either. This didn't surprise her. Because even six months ago contact had already become one
sided on her part. They had merely been passive recipients. Chapter 5
