“Going to quit.” Christine White whispered back as she watched the cars coming and going on the road.
Aunt Lucy was slightly stunned, “Resignation?”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded, “I’m not fit to go to work anymore in this condition.”
Aunt Lucy looked at her skinny body that would fall down if the wind blew, and sighed heartily, “Also, that’s fine then, go to the office first, do you want to call mister before you go?”
“No.” Christine White refused.
Aunt Lucy didn’t try to persuade her either, gently pulling the car door open, “Ma’am get in first.”
“Good.” Christine White hmmmed and got in the car.
Soon the company arrived.
After almost a month’s absence, Christine White stood at the front door of her company and looked up at the building, suddenly feeling a little unfamiliar with the place.
“Ma’am?” Seeing her stand and stare, Aunt Lucy reached out and waved her hand in front of her twice, “What’s on your mind?”
“Nothing.” Christine White withdrew her eyes and lifted her foot into the office.
Some of the company’s employees were still a bit surprised to see her, after all, she hadn’t shown up for almost a month, and many thought she had resigned.
“Secretary White.” As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Christine White heard someone call out to her.
She looked around; it was the team leader of Baird Lane’s secretarial team, a sort of half-superior to her.
“Team Leader Chen.” Christine White smiled politely at her.
Secretary Chen narrowed her eyes and sized up Christine White, “Secretary White, are you sick? Why does your face look so bad, and your body has lost so much weight.”
“Well, there was a major illness recently.” Christine White returned vaguely.
Secretary Chen nodded indistinctly, “No wonder you took such a long vacation, so you’re back at work now?”
“No, I came to resign.”
“Resignation?” Secretary Chen exclaimed.
Christine White ruffled her hair around her ears, “Uh, is President Lane in his office, please?”
“… In.” Secretary Chen returned from her surprise, “I was also about to go to President Lane to report on today’s work, I just happened to see you coming out of the elevator, so I said hello to you, I thought you were coming back to resume work, but it turns out that I didn’t expect that you actually resigned, can you tell me the reason for your resignation?”
“It’s just that I’m not well enough to work long hours anymore, so I simply quit so I don’t miss work.” Christine White replied briefly.
“I see.” Secretary Chen smiled, “Secretary White your health is indeed poor, it hasn’t even been two months since I transferred over and you’ve already taken multiple vacations.”
“I’m sorry to make you laugh.” Christine White dropped her eyelids and smiled bitterly.
Is she the one who wants to take a vacation?
She had been coming to work for this company for several years and had never taken a vacation when Baird Lane had not purchased the company.
But since he had come, she had taken time off work almost constantly, and every time she did so, it was to go to the hospital for a physical checkup, and now her body had completely collapsed, and she didn’t even dare to brush her hair hard enough or else a big chunk of her hair would fall out, and it was now obvious that she didn’t have as much hair as she used to have.
“No no, getting sick is a human condition, Secretary White will take care of your health after you resign, I wish you a speedy recovery.” Secretary Chen waved his hand and smiled.
Christine White hmms softly, “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome, so Secretary White go find President Lane and bring this report in for me by the way, I won’t be going in.” Secretary Chen handed her the document in her hands with both hands.
Christine White didn’t refuse and took it obediently, then walked to the president’s office.
She stood outside the door and stared at the gate for a moment before raising her hand and knocking on it.
The door opened quickly and Gates poked his head out of it.
His whole body was surprised when he saw that the person standing outside the door was Christine White, “Secretary White, what are you doing here? Aren’t you at the hospital?”
“I’m looking for him.” Christine White replied in a light tone.
Gates craned his head to look around the office, “President Lane, the missus is here.”
“Who?” Baird Lane’s tapping on the keyboard lurched, thinking he’d misheard.
Gates had to repeat it again, “Ma’am!”
“Christine White?” asked Baird Lane, raising an eyebrow.
Gates nodded heavily.
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “Send her in.”
This woman, why did she suddenly come to the company?
“Come in, ma’am.” With Baird Lane’s permission, Gates sidled up to make way for the doorway.
Christine White thanked him and walked into the office, clutching her papers.
She didn’t stop walking and went straight towards Baird Lane.
Baird Lane’s heart rippled as he looked at her still slim form and face, “What brings you here?”
His voice became a little softer.
“I’m discharged.” Christine White replied faintly, then handed him the document in her arms with both hands, “This is Team Leader Chen’s work report, she asked me to bring it to you.”
Baird Lane took the file, but instead of flipping it over and reading it, he just set it aside, “What are you doing here after being discharged from the hospital instead of going back to the villa? Don’t tell me you’re here to work?”
“No, I came to resign.” Christine White looked at him.
Baird Lane was slightly startled, “Resignation?”
“Yes, I’m not physically able to work long hours anymore, and I’ve seriously considered just quitting my job in order to not miss work.” Christine White said.
As soon as Baird Lane heard her say that, the words he had been about to tell her to think about it were instantly swallowed.
“I know.” Baird Lane took a deep breath, “I approve your resignation.”
“Thank you President Lane, I will take my leave.” Christine White bowed to Baird Lane and turned toward the door.
“Wait.” Baird Lane suddenly called out to her.
Christine White lowered her hand on the doorknob, “Is there anything else President Lane wants?”
“Why didn’t you tell me when you got out of the hospital?” Baird Lane asked her as he stood up.
Christine White smiled indifferently as she looked down, “What’s there to say, did I say that President Lane would come and get me?”
“I will!” Baird Lane blurted out without thinking.
Christine White flinched, “You would?”
“Yes.” Baird Lane nodded.
Christine White’s palms tightened, “Is that because you feel indebted to me? If so, that’s even less necessary, I can’t afford to be indebted to you.”
After saying that, she opened the door and walked out, went directly to the personnel department to apply for the resignation report, and then went to the planning department, ready to tell Debby York about her resignation.
Since the last time Debby York was promoted, she’s had her own office.
Christine White came to her office door and reached out to knock.
“Come in.” Debby York’s somewhat busy voice came from inside.
Christine White smiled and pushed her way in, “Debby .”
“Christine?” said Debby York, looking up from behind her computer in surprise, but the moment she saw what Christine White looked like at the moment, the surprise immediately disappeared from her face, “Christine, how did you get to look like this? ”
She stood up and pulled Christine White right up and down, her face full of amazement and concern, “My God, I haven’t seen you in only a month and you’re skinny as a bone, what have you been through?”
Christine White patted the back of her hand, “Debby , I’m fine.”
“What do you mean nothing? You call this nothing? I almost didn’t recognize you just now.” Saying that, Debby York took another look at Christine White.
Christine White smiled, “Well enough about that, are you busy, I see so much work piled up on your desk.”
“It’s okay, it’s not particularly busy.” Debby York waved her hand in mock relief.
Then she thought of something and asked curiously, “By the way, why did you come to the company today, didn’t you say last time that you were going to nurse your baby at home and come back after giving birth?”
