Chapter 47

"You can take a day off and come back to work tomorrow."

Ha!

Aveline let out a bitter laugh, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Last night, she had gathered all her courage to say those things. She wanted a response, an explanation from him.

Aveline composed herself, completed the discharge procedures, and went home. There, she saw the file folder on the cabinet. Opening it, she found the property deed, a check, and a key inside. Maple Garden.

A prime location in Cloudflare City, with top-tier greenery, 25 floors, and 500 square meters.

Wow, it was even larger than expected.
