Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Got a Long-Distance Boyfriend?
By the time Ann Nolan had everything packed up, it was already lunchtime.
She had asked her assistant to deliver her belongings to the trunk of the car downstairs before the lunch rush.
She hadn’t brought much with her when she arrived, and she was leaving with hardly any more.
Some things she couldn’t bear to discard, such as group photos, medals, certificates… she took them all with her.
TR was the company she joined in her second year of postgraduate studies, and this job was her first.
This place had witnessed her growth.
Arriving had been tough, having fought through five levels and slain six generals, with written exams and interviews, before she entered this top ten enterprise in Landon.
Leaving didn’t seem as hard, wanting to leave meant leaving.
Ann tied her long hair up, leaving it in a loose ponytail.
“All right,” Ann clapped her hands, “thank you, Little Kaisan. I’ll take my things home first, and I’ll come back tomorrow to complete the resignation procedures. The rest… you take care of it. As for the colleagues, just say I wanted a change of job. Mm, it’s not that difficult, I believe in you.”
“Sister Ann Nolan, why would you leave just like that, don’t go. I’ll go apologize to CEO Lorenzo for you, he’s a good man, he won’t mind,” Little Kaisan was reluctant to part.
“Actually… even without today’s incident, I was planning to leave this year.”
“Some personal matters.”
“Is it because you have a long-distance boyfriend?”
“No,” Ann laughed, “go back, you have a lot of work waiting for you. I’ll drive home by myself.”
“Sister Ann Nolan, we will all miss you.”
“I will miss you guys too, but I’ll still be in Landon for a while. Shall we meet up when we’re free?”
“Mm…” Little Kaisan was reluctant to agree.
He wished that Ann could stay.
But looking at the current situation, there was simply no chance of that.
“Sister Ann Nolan, I wish you all the best and smooth sailing,” Little Kaisan said sadly.
He had to offer his blessings despite his sadness, hoping his superior, Ann, would have a better future.
This was a sincere wish, full of reluctance to let go.
“I also wish you success in your work and happiness every day,” Ann said with a smile as she patted his shoulder. “Go on, I’ll watch you go back up, bye!”
Little Kaisan’s reluctance grew stronger, with tears welling up in his eyes.
In the quiet underground parking lot, the air suddenly became still, peaceful and serene.
Ann waved to him, and he could only look back three times with each step he took, waving goodbye to Ann as he left.
“Go on! Head back up!” Ann said with a smile, her eyes shimmering deeply.
She was still wearing her business suit that she hadn’t had time to change out of, black and white, dignified and elegant.
Eventually, Little Kaisan’s figure slowly receded until it disappeared around the corner.
The tear that had been lurking in Ann’s eye finally fell, dropping like a delicate cherry blossom petal into the water, vanishing without a trace.
She blinked, extending her finger to wipe away the tear.
The first job, the first resignation, myriad words, but not knowing where to start.
After today’s farewell, she would never come here again.
Some people, you never know how many years it might be before you see them again.
Ann wasn’t a person who dwelled on sentimentality, but today, she couldn’t help but feel distressed.
The heart-wrenching feeling was like a hand grasping at her heart, squeezing it tightly, leaving her breathless.
Her sparkling eyes also flickered with an indecipherable darkness, her long eyelashes laden with dewy moisture.
The underground parking lot was very quiet, and she stood there for a long time.
The air grew silent, and Ann felt as if she could hear her own rapid heartbeat, thumping uncontrolled.
