Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen's POV: 

This business trip to Philadelphia was only a week.It was brief, but the task at hand was heavy.

After taking a break at the hotel, we started working as planned.

Mattie took the initiative to negotiate with the target company.

Her job was to review business deals and contracts.On the other hand, was responsible for the assessment of the company's qualifications.

Anya and I went to the company first and met the person in charge.It was our responsibility to assess the suspicious contents in the investigation list.

Although our work was quite similar, Mattie's task was more important than mine.

My boss, Anya, was a workaholic, especially when she was on a business trip.She did not like wasting time and always ensured we finished our jobs as soon as possible.

When we returned to the hotel from the company, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Mattie and I began writing the report at the end of the day.I had done similar work before, so I had a rough idea about what I was supposed to do.

Thankfully, I finished the report early just as I had hoped.

When I handed the report to Anya, she nodded in approval, which surprised me as she rarely showed her satisfaction.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now and have a rest."

"Thanks, Miss Pierce."

Before leaving, I caught a glimpse of investigation reports regarding Zhester Technology on her desk.

Truth be told, the real purpose of Anya's visit to Philadelphia was to meet Boswell Deleon, the technical director of Zhester Technology.It was said that he was George's most capable subordinate and also played an important role in the company.

He happened to be in Philadelphia recently.

On my way out, I saw Mattie came over to hand her report.

But the moment I closed the door, I heard Anya scolded Mattie.

"How many times do I have to tell you this? Don't download these documents from the Internet.Are you deaf or just plain stupid? Stop wasting my time.If you're just gonna give me rubbish, just throw them straight into the trash can!"

Fortunately, Mattie had a commendable attitude.She just apologized and accepted Anya's criticism, even though it was hurtful.

But even though Mattie was on the verge of tears, I did not offer help.

After all, it was her job, and she had to be accountable for her mistakes.

With that, I left the hotel and went to a diner I often went to when I was in high school.It had been years since I last visited this city.

Surprisingly, nothing much changed over the years.
