Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Autumn had really been stirring things up lately.

First she followed him around, then pretended to be sick, and finally showed up uninvited at the seminar.

It was exhausting.

Since her heart clearly wasn’t in the job anymore and she’d now caused the company such a huge loss, she was no longer fit to work here.

Julian figured that sparing her from paying damages was already the greatest mercy he could offer.

Alex paused for a moment, then responded, “Understood.”

He had to admit, Autumn had been a handful lately–quitting one minute, faking illness the next.

All that scheming just to get Julian’s attention.

Now that it had caused a financial loss, it was only natural for him to be upset.

She wanted to quit anyway–this just gave her the perfect excuse.

Remembering that her resignation was almost finalized, Alex went to handle the paperwork.

He quickly found Autumn and gently conveyed Julian’s message.

“Mr. Carter said the mistake you made caused a significant loss to the company. But given your relationship, he’s decided not to make you pay for it.

“He believes your mind’s no longer on your work, so he’s decided to dismiss you and have you return home as a full–time wife.

“Your resignation is about to take effect, and your tasks are mostly wrapped up, right? You can start packing. You won’t need to come in tomorrow.”

He thought he’d been as tactful as possible and hoped she’d take it well.

If she still wanted to stay in Julian’s life, she really couldn’t afford to keep acting out.

Pulling stunts at the expense of the company just to get his attention was going too far.

If she kept this up, their relationship would only grow more strained, and it would do her no good.

As Autumn listened, she sneered inwardly.

Was Julian really this sick of her already?

He didn’t even question her.

He just judged her guilty and told her to stay home like some housewife.

Trying to keep things polished at home while fooling around outside—what a fantasy.

Chapter 42

She wasn’t going to play his obedient little bird, turning a blind eye and forcing herself to smile.

She wasn’t heartbroken–just resentful.

Still, she had no choice but to hold it in.

No one was going to speak up for her now.

“I got it,” Autumn said simply, then went to pack her things.

With seven days left on the countdown, Autumn was dismissed by Julian.

Her heart had gone numb, as if she couldn’t feel anything anymore.

After saying goodbye to her colleagues, she soon knocked on Frank’s office door.

When she entered, Frank stood up and sighed.

“Mr. Carter fired you without even figuring out the full story. I really feel helpless. Even though your resignation was nearly finalized, being dismissed is still very different from resigning on your own.

“Ms. Lewis, your capabilities have always been clear to all of us. I hope you recover soon and have a bright future ahead.”

Autumn smiled and shook his hand. “Thank you for all your guidance these past few years.”

Over the years, Julian’s indifference and his constant, groundless accusations had gone far beyond this.

The old her would have made a scene, maybe even rushed straight to confront him.

But now, none of it mattered anymore.

She was leaving anyway–this just moved the timeline up, didn’t it?

Frank gave a small nod. “You’ve worked hard enough for everything you’ve achieved. You wouldn’t have come this far otherwise.”

He was someone who valued talent and held Autumn’s abilities in high regard.
