Initially , Jake worried she would cause chaos in the department . But the result surprised him .

Whether during pregnancy or other times , she followed company procedures , never seeking special treatment . Over the years , she became the departments team leader . Jake had always observed her feelings for Franklin . Honestly , he never imagined she would resign . He couldnt believe she would willingly leave .

Despite her strong capabilities , Jake maintained professional courtesy , Ill take your resignation and arrange for your replacement soon . 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 Maggies resignation , Oh , President Franklin , regarding- Although he had told Maggie he would arrange her replacement quickly , he wanted to gauge . Franklins thoughts on when exactly she should leave . Franklin wanted her gone tomorrow , he would make immediate arrangements But as the words reached his lips , he recalled what Franklin had said when Maggle first joined : handle all her company matters according to standard procedures , no need to report specially to him . He wouldnt manage her affairs . And indeed , thats how it had been . Over these years , Franklin had never actively inquired about Maggies 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 Franklins 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 wouldnt interfere , telling them to f follow procedures . He had said not to ask him about Maggies company matters again . Seeing Jakes hesitation , Franklin frowned : What is it ? Jake snapped back to attention : Nothing . Since Franklin must already know about Maggies resignation but hadnt mentioned it , it clearly wasnt important to him . With this thought lake They should handle it like everything else , according to company policy . With this thought , Jake sai nothing more . Franklin ended the video call . What are you thinking about ? At noon , a colleague suddenly patted Maggies 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 didnt know was that her daughters father was their companys 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 phone call : Please reserve a ticket for me for next months 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 werent available to everyone . Their company had received several exhibition spots , and many of their elite employees wanted to attend . every spot was For them , extremely valuable . If I dont attend this time , Ill never ask you again . The other end went silent before hanging up . Maggie knew this meant agreement . She smiled slightly . What she hadnt 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 .

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 after work . She didnt initiate contact with her daughter or Franklin .
