Ch. Chapter 6 Time will turn your hair white together Chapter 6

6. 6. 

The moment Frank walked into the office, 

Jessica was right behind him. 

“Mr. Frank, here’s that contract from 

09 

yesterday.” 

Jessica put the file on the desk, then walked 

right up to Frank and put a hand on his 

shoulder. 

It used to be an unspoken thing between 

them. 

Now, Frank suddenly felt uncomfortable. 

He sat up straight, opened the file, and 

frowned. 

The basics were just common sense, and 

there was nothing special about her 

professionally. 

Not to mention all the loopholes that could 

cost the company millions. 

It was a disaster. 

I used to check every contract three times 

before I let him see it, making sure there were 

no risks to the company. 

But this… 

He slammed the file on the desk, his voice 

L 

“Who the hell did this? Do they even have 

basic skills?” 

“Get Ashley in here, I want to ask her if she 

even wants to be the head of legal anymore!” 

Jessica turned pale. 

“Mr. Frank, I did it.” 

All of his anger died down. 

Frank looked at Jessica, who was about to 

cry, and felt helpless for the first time. 

She wiped her eyes, looking pitiful. 

“I’m sorry, Mr. Frank, it’s all my fault…” 

< 

“Maybe I’m just like Ms. Ashley said, I can’t 

handle this job, and I’m just making trouble 

for you…” 

She turned to leave. 

Frank instinctively grabbed her, but then froze 

when he saw the look on Jessica’s face. 

Ashley never looked like that. 

She was proud. 

No matter what happened, she would figure 

out how to fix it, not like Jessica… 

Even when he was yelling at her, she would 

calmly tell him, “Jessica’s careless, she’s not 

fit to be your assistant.” 

< 

So every time Jessica screwed up, Ashley 

was the one who had to fix it. 

So later, whenever Jessica had a problem, he 

automatically pushed Ashley out there. 

So… 

Frank stopped mid–sentence, and slowly let 

go of her hand. 

“Just… go back to work.” 

Jessica’s face flushed red, she hadn’t gotten 

the reassurance she wanted, and almost burst 

into tears. 

Frank saw it and rubbed his temples 

impatiently. 

Г 

“Redo this contract and make sure it’s right 

this time.” 

Jessica bit her lip and reluctantly left. 

A coworker who was good friends with 

Jessica took a picture of this scene and sent 

it to my phone. 

[Ms. Ashley, that secretary who always steals 

our work got yelled at today, haha, serves her 

right!] 

In his office, Frank was dialing my number 

over and over again, but still couldn’t get 

through. 

Even though he was trying to convince 

himself that it was fine, seeing my empty 

< 

He couldn’t focus on work. 

He finally caved and called the HR director. 

“Is there anything I need to take care of, Mr. 

Frank?” 

“Did Ashley take the day off?” 

The man asked casually, looking at the files. 

The HR director paused, giving him a 

confused look. 

“Ms. Ashley resigned.” 

“What?!” 

Frank froze, tearing the paper with the pen. 

“When did this happen? Who approved it? I 

don’t remember.” 

The HR director said in confusion. 

“It was submitted last night, and you 

approved it this morning!” 

Frank felt like he’d been struck by lightning. 

He opened his computer and quickly scanned 

his emails. He found the only resignation 

letter, opening it with shaking hands. 

Finally, seeing my name at the bottom, he 

was overcome with panic. 

“Cancel the application right now! Now!”

The HR director wiped the sweat from his 

forehead, trembling. 

“Mr. Frank, the process is already 

complete…” 

Outside the office, Jessica walked in with a 

file, looking anything but upset, even a little 

happy. 

“Mr. Frank, here’s your fax.” 

His eyes swept over the paper, landing on the 

words “divorce agreement,” and he slumped 

back into his chair. 

It took him a long time to recover. 

He pulled out his phone and called his best 

friend bie vais

“Find out where this fax came from.”
