Nicky was frozen in place, looking like she had heard something she should not have.
Immediately afterward, her hardened smile reappeared. She raised her brow and looked at me with interest. "You’ve finally come to your senses. You want to leave the company."
I glanced at her and smiled softly. "Yeah, I figured it out last night. I don't lack money, so why should I suffer?"
Saying this, I headed out the door.
Instead of going to the company directly, however, I first went to visit Shannon, whom I had not seen in a long time.
As her due date was approaching, Jordan was worried that he would not be able to take good care of her due to his busy work. Hence, he had arranged for Shannon to be admitted to the hospital in advance.
At the door of the ward, I knocked on the door and the voice of the person inside sounded so bored as they called out, “Come in.”
She must have been so bored in the hospital.
I glanced in through the small transparent window, and sure enough, Shannon was leaning against the bed, playing with her nails.
I pushed open the door and went in. When Shannon saw me, her dim eyes instantly lit up and she almost jumped at me. Fortunately, I stepped forward to stop her. "You’re so big now. Just lie down. I can’t afford it if anything were to happen to you."
I helped her back to the bed. Shannon was very concerned about my current situation and asked, "I saw the news. What's the situation? Did Nicky completely drive you out?"
"How can she get rid of me so easily? She finds me annoying, so I’ll insist on appearing in front of her. I’m going to make her suffer." When I said this, not only did my tone become a little firmer but even my gaze.
Shannon gave me a thumbs up, agreeing with my choice. Yet, at the same time, she was also worried about my state. "What about you? Are you alright? Cry if you feel bad. It's alright. I’ll give you my shoulder to lean on." She patted her shoulder after she said that.
