Rosalind ultimately decided to stay in Northville City.
She asked Tilda to bring Floyd over as well.
Although it was very risky, as a mother, she had already left Jake alone abroad for too long and could not continue to abandon him.
Malcolm could only advise her; he couldn’t make decisions for her. Seeing her determination, he had no choice but to fully cooperate.
As night fell, Rosalind stood by the hotel room window, staring at the streetlights outside in a daze.
After some careful thought, she took out her phone and dialed Lion’s number.
“Hello, Lion, find someone else to take over my project. I want to resign.”
“What? Resign?” Lion instinctively raised his voice. “Do you know what you’re saying?”
She had always been very responsible, so Lion never expected her to make such a request halfway through.
“I understand. I’ve let you down, but I can’t continue working now.” Rosalind didn’t know how long it would be before she returned. Projects changed daily; even a few hours could bring different situations. By then, she would truly be at fault.
By bringing it up now, she could give Lion time to find someone to replace her without causing any losses.
“I’ve already agreed to give you leave. You can take as long as you need. Why must you resign? You said you’d wait until the project ended!”
“Lion, as the company leader, you should understand that my resignation is the best choice now.”
His insistence came from their personal relationship!
“I don’t understand! Anyway, I won’t agree! Your contract with the company is clear. After your promotion to director, you must apply six months in advance if you want to resign. I don’t think you’re someone who breaks contracts.”
“But I can’t do anything for the company right now!”
“You can work remotely. With Mr. Wong’s help and me being in the country, there won’t be any issues.” Lion’s tone was firm and non-negotiable.
Rosalind rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
She knew Lion’s little scheme; he didn’t want her leaving his company. He didn’t even care about the company’s profits for this!
“Lion, think about it again. I’ll voluntarily give up all my bonuses this year.”
“I won’t consider it. I’ll have your contract notarized and kept.”
“…”
“Come back to work soon. I’ll wait for you.”
Lion hung up the phone.
Rosalind felt a surge of frustration mixed with helplessness!
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door!
Rosalind quickly walked over and saw Malcolm outside with an excited expression. “I contacted B7! He said he can meet with you alone in three days to discuss specifics!”
…
On Lion’s side, after hanging up the phone, he immediately asked his secretary to retrieve Rosalind’s contract.
He knew that firing Rosalind or her resigning was actually the best decision for the company and wouldn’t delay the project.
But if that happened, Rosalind would no longer be part of Eastsun Corporation!
Then he wouldn’t have any reason to see her again.
The secretary was efficient and not only notarized but also made a backup of the contract.
Before Lion could praise him, his phone rang-
“Hello, I’m the secretary of W Group’s president. Our Mr. Walters is interested in acquiring Eastsun Corporation. Name your price.”
