    Jake was one of Franklin''s personal secretaries. The resignation letter surprised him greatly.


    He was among the few at thepany who knew about Maggie and Franklin''s rtionship. Anyone close to Franklin knew his heart wasn''t with Maggie.


    er marriage, he remained cold toward her, rarelying home. To get closer to and win over Franklin, Maggie had chosen to work at Franklin''spany. Her initial goal was to be his personal secretary. But Franklin refused.


    Even the old master''s intervention couldn''t sway him. Finally, Maggie had to settle for joining the secretarial department as one of many ordinary secretaries.


    Initially, Jake worried she would cause chaos in the department. But the result surprised him.


    Though Maggie would use her position to get closer to Franklin, she chose her moments wisely and never pushed too far.


    Instead, perhaps hoping to earn his respect, she worked diligently and showed remarkable capability. Whether during pregnancy or other times, she followedpany procedures, never seeking special treatment. Over the years, she became the department''s team leader. Jake had always observed her feelings for Franklin. Honestly, he never imagined she would resign. He couldn''t believe she would willingly leave.


    Her resignation now probably meant something had happened between them, unknown to him, leading to Franklin forcing her out.


    Despite her strong capabilities, Jake maintained professional courtesy, "I''ll take your resignation and arrange for your recement soon."


    "Alright." Maggie nodded and returned to her desk.


    Jake worked for a while before reporting to Franklin online. As they were wrapping up their discussion, he suddenly remembered Maggie''s resignation,


    "Oh, President Franklin, regarding-"

    Although he had told Maggie he would arrange her recement quickly, he wanted to gauge Franklin''s thoughts on when exactly she should leave.


    If Franklin wanted her gone tomorrow, he would make immediate arrangements.


    But as they


    words reached his lips, he recalled what Franklin had said when Maggie first joined: handle all herpany matters ording to standard procedures, no need to report specially to him.


    wouldn''t manage her affairs. And indeed, that''s how it had been. Over these years, Franklin had never actively inquired about Maggie''s matters at work.


    When encountering her at thepany, he treated herpletely like a stranger. During these years, Maggie had performed excellently.


    Two years ago, when they nned to promote her, considering Franklin''s dislike of her, they had specifically mentioned it to him. The implication being if he disapproved, they would drop it.


    At the time, Franklin had frowned impatiently and reiterated that he wouldn''t interfere, telling them to follow procedures. He had said not to ask him about


    Maggie''spany matters again.


    Seeing Jake''s hesitation, Franklin frowned: "What is it?" Jake snapped back to attention: "Nothing." Since Franklin must already know about Maggie''s resignation but hadn''t mentioned it, it clearly wasn''t important to him. They should handle it like everything else, ording topany policy. With this thought, Jake said


    nothing more.


    Franklin ended the video call.


    "What are you thinking about?" At noon, a colleague suddenly patted


    Maggie''s shoulder.


    Maggie came back to herself, smiling and shaking her head: "Nothing."


    "Not calling your daughter today?"


    Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time


    "No, not anymore." She usually called her daughter twice a day. Once at 1 AM, and once around


    noon.


    Her office colleagues all knew this. What they didn''t know was that her daughter''s father was theirpany''s big boss.


    After work, Maggie bought some groceries and several potted nts before heading home.


    After dinner, she checked online for news about the technology expo. After reading, she made a


    one call: "Please reserve a ticket for me for next month''s technology


    expo."


    "Are you sure?" came the cold reply.


    "Thest two times you asked me to reserve tickets, you never showed up. So many people dream of these tickets, and you just wasted them."

    The annual domestic technology expo was a major event in the tech industry, and tickets weren''t avable to everyone. Theirpany had received several exhibition spots, and many of their elite employees wanted to attend. For them, every spot was extremely valuable.


    "If I don''t attend this time, I''ll never ask you again." The other end went silent before hanging up.


    Maggie knew this meant agreement. She smiled slightly.


    What she hadn''t mentioned was that she wanted to return to thepany. As a partner, she had chosen to marry and have children when thepany was just starting, stepping back from thepany to focus on family.


    This hadpletely disrupted their development ns, causing them to miss many opportunities. Everyone had been both angry and frustrated with her.


    These past few years, they had barely kept in touch.


    True, she wanted to return to thepany, but after marriage, her focus had been entirely on family. She had been away from the circle for too long.


    She worried that if she returned to thepany unprepared now, she wouldn''t be able to keep up with their pace. So, she nned to spend some time thoroughly understanding the current state of the industry before making specific ns. Over the next few days, Maggie focused on work during office hours and handled her own affairs,

    Of course, they didn''t contact her either. This didn''t surprise her. Because even six months ago contact had already be one sided on her part. They had merely been passive recipients. Chapter 5
