Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134

William’s brows, which had just relaxed, tightened all over again. He didn’t quite get it.

“Do you really have to quit? Is Samantha that unbearable?”

Rachel couldn’t help but scoff on the inside. Even now, after everything, Samantha was still the only thing on his mind. It was as if no matter what she did, it all came down to her not being able to tolerate Samantha.

If he actually stopped to think about it, he’d realize it had nothing to do with Samantha.

It wasn’t Samantha she cared about. It was his attitude.

There was no point bringing it up now. It was far too late for that.

Rachel’s face was emotionless. “This has nothing to do with her.”

“Then what? Are you planning to join LS Enterprise after the team–building event?”

For whatever reason, William just wouldn’t let it go.

Rachel’s patience had run thin. “Mr. Lewis, now’s not the time to interrogate me. What you should be considering is whether or not to sign my resignation letter. That’s the real issue here.”

William rubbed his temples in frustration. “Do you really have to be this dramatic? Have you even thought about what the rest of the company will say once you leave? Rachel, can’t you just wait until I’ve fully secured my position before bringing this up?”

There were things Rachel didn’t want to say too directly.

It was like watching someone battle depression alone. At first, when they were fighting it, no one noticed or bothered to reach out. Nobody even cared. Right after they gave up, someone finally offered to help. By then, it was already too late.

Rachel signed calmly. “I’m tired. I need a break. You know how I’ve been having trouble breathing the past few weeks.

Sometimes, I still feel like I can’t even catch my breath.”

At that, William knew he couldn’t keep pushing. “I understand.”

He bent forward and retrieved the resignation letter Rachel had submitted earlier out of a drawer. After a short pause, he signed

his name on it and tossed it toward her.

“There. Happy now?”

Rachel could tell how displeased he was. His expression made that crystal clear. That didn’t matter anymore. She wasn’t fazed.

With the signed resignation letter in hand, everything between them was officially over.

She smiled at him. “Thank you, Mr. Lewis. I’ll attend the team–building event like you asked. After all, I’m still Lewis Enterprise CEO’s wife. I wouldn’t want to give people a reason to gossip.”

“Oh, and one more thing,” William added. “As the person in charge of this project, you should keep an eye on Samantha’s health during the event. Didn’t she just recover from a fever? She still seems fragile.

“You two are in the same department. Don’t give people anything to talk about.”

“It’s only a fever. Is Ms. Judd that weak?” Rachel asked, staring at William for a few seconds.

“She’s thin, you know that. She looks frail, and since she joined the company, people have always speculated that you two don’t get along.”

Rachel let out a chuckle. “So in your eyes, Samantha and I have to be good friends?”
