It was July in City A, and it was scorching hot. Cicadas were chirping on the branches, and Valentine family miles of greenery was filled with trees. At Elaine in the morning, the chirping of cicadas woke him up.
Fortunately, Marcelo had already gone to the office. Otherwise, if he asked why she didn’t go to work, she wouldn’t know what excuse to
use.
Perhaps it was because she played a key role in the bidding for the Horizon Properties pieces of land, but Marcelo days had been kind to her.
After breakfast, she was looking for something to do to pass the time when Nikki called.
When she saw the number Nikki on the screen, she was a little surprised. Could it be that he wanted her to go through the resignation procedures?
The call connected, and the official voice of Nikki sounded. “Ms. Valentine, why aren’t you at work today?“She was stunned and could not react in time. Didn’t Jackson ask her to leave Summit Group?
