Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 171

"I'm going to resign," Yvonne replied softly as she watched the cars come and go.

Sue was startled. "Resign?”

"Yes." Yvonne nodded. "I can’t work anymore with my current condition.”

Sue looked at her frail body that could collapse at any time and sighed distressingly, "You're right. Then let's go to the office first. Would you like to make a call to sir before you go?”

"No," Yvonne refused.

Sue didn't persuade her further and gently opened the car door for her. "Madam, let's get in the car first."

"Okay," Yvonne hummed and got into the car.

Soon, they arrived at the office.

After being away for nearly a month, Yvonne stood at the main entrance of the office and looked up at the building, suddenly feeling this place felt a little foreign to her.

"Madam?" Sue waved her hands twice right in front of Yvonne's face when she was standing in a daze." What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Yvonne averted her gaze and walked into the office.

A few of the employees were a little surprised when they saw her since she hadn’t shown up for nearly a month. Many of them thought that she had resigned.

"Miss Frey." Yvonne heard someone calling after her a s soon as she got out of the elevator.

She looked over and it was Henry's secretarial team leader who was also considered her superior.

"Mr. Connor." Yvonne smiled politely at him.

Secretary Connor squinted his eyes and looked at Yvonne. "Miss Frey, are you sick? You look pale and you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

"Yeah, I’ve had a serious illness," Yvonne replied vaguely.

Secretary Connor nodded. "No wonder you took such a long time off. So are you back to work now?"

"No, I’m here to resign.”

"Resign?" Secretary Connor exclaimed.

Yvonne put her hair behind her ear and answered," Yes, is Mr. Lancaster in the office?"

"... Yes, he's here." Secretary Connor recovered from his astonishment. "I was going to report to Mr.

Lancaster about today’s agenda. Then, I saw you coming out of the elevator, so I came to greet you. I thought you were going back to work, but now you're telling me that you will resign. May I know why?" “I can no longer work for a long period of time as my health is in bad condition. So to avoid any delay in work, I have decided to just quit this job," Yvonne replied briefly.

"Oh, so that's why," Secretary Connor smiled. "No wonder you've taken so many leaves ever since I was transferred here two months ago. Miss Frey, your health is indeed very poor." 1

"Sorry, that was embarrassing," Yvonne smiled bitterly while lowering her eyes.

Was she the one who wanted to take the leaves?

It had been a few years since she worked in this office and she had never taken any leaves before Henry acquired this company.

But ever since he came, she often took leaves for body check-ups. Now that her health had deteriorated, she didn't even dare to comb her hair that much or else her hair would fall out. She could certainly sense that her hair was much thinner than before, i

"No, no. People do get sick. Please take good care of your health after you resign, Miss Frey. I wish you a speedy recovery.” Secretary Connor comforted her.

Yvonne agreed softly. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Miss Frey. Then you should go to Mr. Lancaster now. In the meantime, help me to bring this report to him. I'll get going now." Secretary Connor handed her the documents.

Yvonne did not reject, but she took the documents and went to the CEO's office.

She stood outside the door and stared at it for a while. Then, she knocked on the door.

When the door opened, Joe poked his head out.

He was surprised to see Yvonne standing outside. " Miss Frey, why are you here? Why aren’t you at the hospital?”

"I'm looking for him,” Yvonne replied lightly.

Joe turned his head and looked at the person in the office. "Mr. Lancaster, madam is here.”

"Who?" Henry paused his work, thinking that he heard wrongly.

Joe repeated, "It's madam!"
