Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 103

The overall atmosphere in Hemera was indeed much better than before. Lindsey had only been back for one day and could already feel it.

However, Lindsey had other things in mind when she came this time.

She wanted to resign.

Last time, Lindsey stayed back because she wanted to go against Zayn’s wishes and her boss convinced her not to leave. However, Lindsey carefully pondered over it for the past few days and she still wanted to resign.

She had already drafted her resignation letter long ago. Lindsey looked at it and saw no problems, so she clicked send.

A few minutes later, the phone on her desk rang.

It was the Manager.

"Lindsey, what's wrong? You want to resign?" The Manager's voice was kind.

Lindsey gave a soft "mmm".

"Then come over to my office to talk about it."

Lindsey hung up the phone and went to the Manager's office. The Manager looked sharp and told Lindsey to take a seat, then helped her get a glass of water.

"Lindsey, you're doing so well. Why do you want to quit?"

Lindsey had already thought of a script before she came here, so she pondered a bit and said, "Some personal matters. Manager, please approve it for me."

The Manager had a difficult look on his face as he said, "You know how much our company values you now. If you leave like this, I can't explain it to the bosses."

Lindsey thought to herself, ‘I think the company only values my relationship with Zayn, right?’

The Manager rubbed his hands and looked at Lindsey's calm face as he said, "If you’re not satisfied with the company, you can tell us and we can discuss it within reason. Why do you have to resign? Moreover, we’ll have a big project coming soon and you’re expected to follow up with it if everything goes smoothly. This is a good opportunity!"

The Manager gave a long speech, but Lindsey did not feel moved. She smiled and said, "I still want to resign."

He could not convince her and sighed, then he told Lindsey to reconsider.

Just as she went out, she bumped into Shaun.

"You’re resigning?" Shaun asked.

Lindsey was not surprised that he knew about it, so she gave a soft "mmm".

Shaun nodded and said, "Follow me."

The secretary behind him stood in place as Shaun led Lindsey to the open-air lounge on the top floor.

It was working hours at the moment, so the lounge was empty.

"Why do you want to resign?" Shaun was straightforward.

Lindsey pursed her lips before saying, "I just want a change of environment."

"Do you feel unsatisfied with the current environment of Hemera?" Shaun asked with a smile, "Or do you feel uncomfortable being in the same company with me?"

Even when he said something to embarrass himself, he did not show the slightest bit of misery.

Lindsey lowered her gaze and thought for a while before saying, "Even though people don't mention it on the surface, they’ll still have some thoughts about it. But it's not just because of this. I've actually wanted to resign for a long time."

They ate dinner in silence. Lindsey did not know what the old man said to Zayn because his face was extremely glum.

It was only when they were almost done that Zayn said, "I'm going to the hospital to take a look."

The old man fiercely slammed his fork down and said, "I forbid it!"

Zayn was no longer the little boy who listened to whatever his grandfather told him to do. He put on his coat and left.

The old man roared behind him, "If you dare to not come home tonight, don't ever come back!"

Lindsey stared at Zayn’s departing back and felt like her love for Zayn was a mere joke.

"Grandpa, don't get mad." Lindsey helped the old man to the sofa and continued, "Feelings can't be forced. If Zayn doesn't like me, no one can make him."

The old man took a long time to catch his breath and said, "He's just trying to piss me off."

Lindsey laughed bitterly and said, "Grandpa, we’re probably not suited for each other. I know you’re doing this for me, but it's not worth hurting your relationship with Zayn because of me."

"Don’t mention it. If he really dares to marry Jenny Lenig, then I’ll cut off all ties with him!"

Whenever the old man mentioned Jenny Lenig, he always looked like he wanted her to get away from his grandson. It was very different from his usual kind appearance.

The old man took a sip of water and looked at Lindsey. "Aren’t you curious about why Grandpa hates Jenny Lenig so much?"

Lindsey wanted to shake her head, but after thinking about it, she nodded.

She was really curious.
