Chapter 3The Last Resignation

As the night deepened and the streetlights lit up, people gradually arrived.

Lucas wore a black coat, bringing in a wisp of autumn bleakness.

I took the coat from his hand, thinking this might be the last time.

When the group was drinking happily, I found an opportunity to mention my resignation.

Over the years, I had received everyone's care, so I stood up and toasted everyone:

"I'm resigning. I didn't know anything before and caused a lot of trouble. Thank you all for your tolerance over these years!"

"The mountains and waters are far away, I hope there will be opportunities to meet again."

Perhaps the autumn bleakness added a sense of parting, and the dinner table was somewhat quiet for a while.

It was Carter who raised his glass and toasted me from afar, breaking the awkward scene:

"At the beginning, I always thought you had ulterior motives for Lucas. Until now, I truly believe."

Everyone tacitly understood Carter's meaning. After all, Lucas's previous secretaries were all fired for confessing to him.

Later, Lucas simply hired only male secretaries, unexpectedly getting confessed to again, thus earning the title of heartthrob.

Someone patted Lucas on the shoulder, smiling and teasing:

"Didn't expect it, right? Someone can really escape your charm."

Lucas lit a cigar carelessly and scolded with a smile:

"Get lost."

After the meal, a few people got together for a card game to pass the time casually.

Midway, Caleb asked inadvertently:

"Lucas, have you met the girl from the Su family that your old lady arranged for you?"

My heart skipped a beat, and the hand pouring water froze in mid-air.

After a while, Lucas answered casually:

"No, as long as the old lady is happy. Marrying anyone is the same."

The marriages of their group were always mixed with various interests, the result of countless considerations.

From a certain perspective, they obtained resources unimaginable to ordinary people, so paying some price was fair.

It seemed Lucas had accepted such rules.

I met Sarah Su once. A gentle and lovely lady, a nice girl.

If possible, I hoped Lucas would have a different ending from others.
