Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 144

When Serena got home, she mulled over her decision and finally sent Director Thomas her resignation letter.

She had decided to stay in Alderburg for good, which meant she couldn't return to the restoration center. Better to cut ties quickly than to drag things out.

The instant Director Thomas received news of her resignation, he quickly dialed her number.

"Serena, why on earth are you resigning?"

"I'm sorry, Director. I've let you down. I won't be going back to Northspire," Serena replied.

"This is about that man again, isn't it?" Director Thomas frowned disapprovingly. "Serena, don't be foolish. No man is worth this."

Serena struggled to explain her situation to Director Thomas and ended up just apologizing again. "I'm really sorry, Director."

After a moment of contemplation, Director Thomas spoke again, "Serena, how about this: I'll give you a month's time. If you still want to resign after that, I won't say another word. How does that sound?"

A wave of emotion washed over Serena. She truly did want to return to the restoration center. Restoring antiques had always been her dream.

"Since you're not saying anything, I'll take it as a yes. It's settled then," Director Thomas said, hastily hanging up, likely worried she'd change her mind.

Serena couldn't help but laugh, feeling a mix of emotions. It didn't seem right to call him back, so she let it be.
