Blake’s worries about her job had vanished. She realized that working elsewhere could be equally satisfying, and the relentless stress at Jardin Corporation was simply not worth it.

In the past, Blake spent her workdays casually scrolling through her phone, but Cecilia’s return had changed everything, Infusing her work life with unending tension.

Blake felt misled by Kevin’s empty promises of an important role alongside Cecilia. For days, Kevin had left Blake in suspense, never responding to her messages. And now, having exploited her, he had even blocked her number.

At her desk, Blake maintained a cheerful facade, her eyes on her phone screen. Her colleagues, not fully understanding her situation, voiced their envy tinged with sarcasm.

“Yeah, Blake, are you actually considering quitting? Jardin Corporation is a goldmine. You won’t find another company like this.”

“Of course she’s not worried. Even if she ends up jobless, the Harper family will bail her out. Must be nice having rich relatives to fall back on.”

Blake, sensing the underlying sarcasm, did not let it ruffle her. She leaned back, a snack in hand, watching the clock slowly tick toward the end of her workday.
