Aurelia shrugged. She took the resignation letter from Jasper and went straight to the HR department.

“No way!” Jasper still thought that Aurelia was putting on an act.

Tessa followed Cassian into his office. “Cassian, are you sure that you can part with Ms. Corin?”

“Why can’t I? She is just a secretary.” Cassian’s voice was cold.

Tessa stared at Cassian as if she tried to read his mind.

The day before yesterday, she had noticed those suspicious marks on his neck when he helped pick up her mother at the hospital.

She was unhappy, but she had to pretend to be ignorant. She knew that Cassian would be displeased if she questioned him for those marks.

The sense of insecurity never left her. ‘Who left those marks on his neck? Aurelia? If it were her, why would he let her go?‘ Tessa mused.

Jasper rattled as he strolled into Cassian’s office. Right then, the HR manager called Cassian and asked about Aurelia’s resignation.

Aurelia was basically a veteran at Honoria Capital. Her title was just a secretary, but her influence was greater than it suggested.

The HR manager didn’t dare to make the decision, so he called to ask for Cassian’s instruction.

Cassian’s reaction took the HR manager by surprise. “Just play by the rules,” Cassian said.

Thinking that Cassian might be ignorant of the person in question, the HR manager emphasized, “Mr. Locke, it is Aurelia Corin who wants to quit.”

Cassian’s tone turned colder. “Didn’t I make myself clear? Play by the rules, no matter who wants to quit. You didn’t have to give me this call.” Then, Cassian hung up the phone.

The HR manager’s expression became awkward.

Aurelia had a rough idea of Cassian’s answer, so she calmly said to the HR manager, “Just do what you should.”

“Okay.” The HR manager processed Aurelia’s resignation according to the rules and then sent an email to Cassian.

Without a second thought, Cassian sent his positive reply over.

Jasper and Tessa were right there with Cassian. After he gave his approval without hesitation, they were finally I convinced that Aurelia would leave Honoria Capital.

However, Jasper had a feeling that Aurelia would regret her decision in a few days. ‘Her departure is

. one will! Just wait and see,

Most workers would give themselves a long vacation once they regained their freedom from a job that lasted for seven years.

However, Aurelia didn’t do so. Perhaps she had been born to work.

She began a new project on the very day when she left Honoria Capital. It was that AI project she’d talked about with Jessica.

Aurelia didn’t realize that Jessica had chosen Queen’s Garden as the meeting place till she was there.

The club was known for its outstanding male prostitutes. “That’s Jessica, Aurelia thought.

She walked into the private room and saw Jessica sitting between two men.

She instantly knew that the two men, given their good appearance, must be the most popular ones in the club.

The two men were busy delighting Jessica, one feeding her grapes while the other feeding her wine.

Basking in happiness, Jessica didn’t forget Aurelia. “Aurelia, be my guest. Choose whoever you like. It’s my treat. Let’s have a good time tonight.”

Aurelia flashed Jessica a smile and said, “Thanks, Ms. Lane, but no. I am not interested.”

Jessica gave a meaningful smile. “I understand. You have slept with the outstanding Mr. Locke, so the other men become intolerable to you.”

Aurelia didn’t know what to say, so she concealed her embarrassment by drinking water.

Jessica drove the two men away after she enjoyed their service.

Aurelia talked about the AI project when she was alone with Jessica.

“Now that you’ve quit, what’s your plan? To start your own company, or just join another one?” Jessica asked, genuinely curious.

“I think I’ll join another company,” Aurelia said. For the time being, she didn’t have what it took to launch her own business.

It would be risky for her to start her own company, even if Cassian didn’t make things difficult for her.

She had made this decision with all things considered.

Michael had helped choose several good companies for Aurelia. Aurelia had contacted those companies, and they had a good impression of her.

“The Synerda Group?” Jessica asked. She remembered that Aurelia had been in touch with Sean before.

“Among the offers I received, the Synerda Group did give me the best one,” Aurelia admitted.

“Does it mean that you will take this project to the Synerda Group?” Jessica asked.

“Yeah.” Aurelia responded.

Jessica leaned back on her sofa. “Aurelia, let me be straight with you. The Synerda Group is in financial trouble. If you talk with me on behalf of the Synerda Group, sorry is my answer.”

Aurelia froze on the spot.

“The Synerda Group’s earnings report seems perfect, so only a handful of people are aware of its trouble. I got the news in my way. I am a businesswoman, you know.” Jessica felt sorry for Aurelia.

Business was business, so Aurelia understood Jessica’s decision.

If the Synerda Group can’t meet Jessica’s standards, few companies in Ashmont can,‘ Aurelia thought.

Aurelia remained silent, so Jessica added, “Aurelia, I have been there, so I would like to give you some advice. If you like a man, sleep with him by fair means or foul. Stay around him even if you can’t win his heart.

“Get money from him if he is rich. Enjoy the time around him if he isn’t rich. You may get married with him if you are lucky. At least, you won’t feel regretful when he leaves you forever. In short, make good use of men.”

Aurelia got the meaning between the lines that Jessica was interested in Honoria Capital’s resources.

‘It is understandable. What do I have? There is no reason for her to invest in me,‘ Aurelia thought.

Jessica gave Aurelia’s shoulder a friendly pat. “Think about it. In this world, one had better be practical. A decent woman can’t become rich or get love. I am an example.”
