Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！

Her words made Yvette feel somewhat embarrassed.

"No, not at all, I was just curious about what you usually do, so I asked..." Yvette poked her own index finger, "Emily, you're not angry, are you?"

Emily clearly hadn't taken offense and shook her head.

"Why would I be angry? Take a look at these; you handle this document."

Since the job handover was to be done, it was only natural to let her get her hands dirty. The quicker she learned, the better, as Emily could leave the company sooner.

Once she left the company, she would immediately buy a ticket to return to her country.

It had been so long since she had held Ruby and Dylan. She wondered if the two little ones would have become less affectionate towards her after not seeing her for such a long time. Emily's thoughts were almost flying out to outer space.

Because Emily still had to accompany Yvette, when it was time to report for work, she directly took Yvette to Nathan's office.

Yvette followed behind Emily, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

"It's okay, aside from his cold expression and foul temper, Mr. Powell is actually quite easy to get along with."

Emily turned back and reassured her with a smile.

Little did she know that the very next second after she finished her sentence, the door to the office swung open, and a cool voice followed.

"Who has a cold expression and a foul temper?"

The indifferent yet familiar voice made Yvette's face change color.

Emily was taken aback.

She was somewhat speechless. How could such a coincidence befall her? She had only made a small complaint, and he had heard it?

Well, it didn't matter. She had complained about him more than once, and he had even heard her before...

But although he had looked annoyed at the time, he hadn't done anything to her.

So, in Emily's eyes, Nathan was a good person.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan's gaze swept over the person behind her and then fell back on her face.

Emily responded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Reporting for work, oh right."

Emily pulled the person behind her forward, "This is Yvette; she is taking over my duties."

After suddenly being pulled in front of Nathan for an introduction, Yvette faced the tall and handsome man from such a close distance for the first time. Her fair cheeks instantly turned suspiciously red as she lowered her head and greeted him softly.

"Mr... Mr. Powell."

Nathan glanced at her and nodded.

Then his gaze shifted back to the unconcerned Emily, and his tone became much colder.

"Come in."

Emily pulled Yvette and followed Nathan into the office.

Once inside the office, Nathan sat at his desk, lifted his eyes, and his gaze still rested on Emily's face.

From the moment they first met, Nathan had noticed that she was wearing makeup today. Although it was subtle, it was still different from usual, and she had even applied lip gloss, making her lips look pink and tender... "Mr. Powell, Mr. Powell?"

Emily called out to him twice, making Nathan suddenly snap back to reality, only to find both of them looking at him with puzzled expressions.

It was then that he realized he had been distracted.

In the office, Nathan hardly ever lost focus, but today...

Nathan pursed his lips, steadied his mind, and coldly asked, "What is it?"

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Nathan didn't know what to say.

Not a single word had sunk in.

But he couldn't admit to being distracted in front of her, especially not with someone else in the office.

So, Nathan turned to Yvette beside her and asked, "What's your name?"

Yvette quickly replied, "I'm Yvette."

"I didn't rest well last night; I'm a bit tired now. Could you make me a cup of coffee please?"

He gave the instruction with a calm and detached air.

Emily, who had just assured Yvette that there was no need to make coffee for Nathan, heard this and was taken aback.

Yvette was also taken aback for a moment; she exchanged a glance with Emily and, after receiving a nod, hurried out to make the coffee.

After Yvette left, the office quieted down. Emily looked at Nathan with a bit of speechlessness, wanting to complain but holding back, only asking, "Mr. Powell, did you not sleep well last night?" But Nathan didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked, "You're wearing makeup?" Huh?

She thought she had heard wrong; otherwise, why would Nathan ask the same question as Yvette?

She only had light makeup on; why were these people so concerned about her makeup? Could it be that she was too sloppy usually, so once she put on makeup, everyone noticed?

Initially, Emily felt like the makeup had put her in a great mood, but now it was becoming somewhat awkward. In front of Nathan, she could only force a smile and say, "So what if I'm wearing makeup?"

Detecting the dissatisfaction in her tone, as if she were blaming him for asking such a question, Nathan pursed his lips slightly and asked, "You're in a good mood because you're resigning?" After all, she rarely wore makeup to work before.

Emily didn't expect him to ask such a question; it sounded like he was still concerned about her resignation.

But he had already signed and approved it.

However, as an employee, Emily certainly knew she couldn't admit to her boss that she was happy about resigning, so she changed her response, "No, I just thought that since I'm leaving, I should definitely leave a good impression and jazz up my appearance a bit, Mr. Powell, don't you think? And besides, leaving the company is something I'm actually quite sad about, not happy."

Anyway, she was leaving, so she might as well do it gracefully.

So, Emily said a lot of good things about the company.

To Emily's surprise, he said, "If you're reluctant to leave, why not stay? We can discuss your difficulties and see how we can solve them."

"Ah?" Emily had only such things for the sake of appearances, believing that Nathan, a fellow professional, would understand they were just pleasantries.

Unexpectedly, he didn't play by the usual rules and offered to solve her problems...

Seeing her silence, Nathan's tone became more serious.

"Is it a very difficult issue?"

After thinking it over, Emily finally nodded.

"Yes, I think it's quite difficult to solve. It's something that requires me to leave the company to handle."

She was simply tired of working and wanted to take a vacation and travel, to allow herself some freedom and relaxation. If she continued to stay with the company, such days would never come to an end.

Moreover, the most important reason was that her parents were getting older, and she wanted to spend more time with them.

Later on, she planned to find a peaceful job near her home, one that wasn't so demanding. She aspired for a job without the need to travel all over the world for business trips, without the constant concern for work. She just wanted a simple life accompanying her aging parents.
