Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

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

He was among the few at the company who knew about Maggie and Franklin’s relationship. Anyone close to Franklin knew his heart wasn’t with Maggie,

After marriage, he remained cold toward her, rarely coming home. To get closer to and win over Franklin, Maggie had chosen to work at Franklin’s company.

Her initial goal was to become 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 followed company 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 replacement 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 replacement 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 the words reached his lips, he recalled what Franklin had said when Maggie first joined: handle all her company matters according to standard procedures, no need to report specially to him.

He 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 the company, he treated her completely like a stranger. During these years, Maggie had performed excellently.

Two years ago, when they planned 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’s company 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.
