Chapter 272: Goodbye letter?

Chapter 272: Goodbye letter?

’’Diana has resigned already,’’ When some staff had to resign, Mary also received a copy of the resignation letter along with the Director for keeping records hence she was aware of it.

But she never thought that Diana had kept Maxim in the dark.

Alex burst out in laughter as he looked at Maxim’s stony face, ’’Pfft. That’s what you get when you get involved with your assistants and pamper them like your child. There is after all something that you are not good at,’’ he eyed Maxim with pity, ’’if you want to learn how to control your assistant, you should learn it from me. Without my permission, my assistant does not even dare to take a sip of water...’’

’’Dr. Qin...’’ Mary interrupted the man who was singing praises for himself.

’’What are you interrupting me for?’’ Alex eyed her in displeasure.

’’I just wanted to inform you that Veronica has already resigned.’’

"_"

’’Good for you,’’ Maxim muttered before he turned to leave without sparing another glance at Alex.

Alex: "_" What the fucking fuck!

...

"Fuck! Are you trying to kill me?" Ryle held his seatbelt as Maxim sped his car through the streets as if it was not a damn vehicle but some stringless kite, ’’I was here to talk to you, not to be tortured by you!" Ryle screamed, feeling the cold air seeping in and hitting his gums as Maxim continued speeding up.

Maxim did not say a word. The atmosphere in the car was so stifling that one would suffocate just by sitting there.

Maxim’s face was shrouded in a layer of gloom as his fingers tightened around the steering wheel.

’I want to go back to Beijing.’

’Diana has resigned.’

I asked you to wait. I told you that we would talk.

’’Maxim! Fuck you! My parrot would become an orphan if I die here along with you!" Ryle cursed Maxim for the umpteenth time, ’’What was I thinking when I decided to visit you today? I just thought we would have some me time where we keep ourselves away from your toxic assistant and my toxic secretary. But at the end of the day, you... ahhh.... became toxic. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! It’s cold. Slow down. Ahhhh!"

The adventure back to the apartment building was filled with Ryle’s screams and curses.

Once they reached the apartment, Maxim alighted the car and walked away without paying attention to Ryle.

Ryle clutched his stomach as he stumbled out of the car, his head spinning, ’’That damned woman tricked me!"

Ryle sighed inwardly.

Inside the elevators, Maxim’s face was darkening with every second that passed by.

Maxim’s mind wandered off to the number of times Diana brought up the topic of wanting to go to Beijing and leave his side. Her sudden resignation. Everything seemed to be connecting gradually in his mind. Is this what she had on her mind? Her plans? Her decision?

Even Mary was aware of it, but he was left in the dark.

The elevator doors opened with a ’ding’ and Maxim walked towards Diana’s place, followed by Ryle who was still clutching his head, ’’Bro, how many times did I tell you that women are vicious? You can sleep with them, you can have fun with them but at no cost, you are supposed to be invested in them. Look at that vixen wrapping you around her little finger and playing with your emotions,’’ Ryle clicked his tongue as he poured some oil into the fire unabashedly.

’’Shut up.’’

’’Am I lying though? Who knows if she was interested in some other man and did not have the courage to confess about her infidelity hence she is ghosting you now?" Ryle shrugged his shoulders, a solemn expression on her face.

’’You are the vixen,’’ Maxim shot him a glare before he rang the doorbell, his expression frosty.

"_" Bro, that’s not the only thing I said, you know?

Maxim rang the doorbell continuously but there was no response. Not even a sound from inside.

After five minutes, Ryle could not stand it any longer, ’’Can you just treat me to a glass of water at your place? I am telling you that your woman placed a green hat on your head and disappeared from your world. It’s too late for you to cry over her now.’’

Maxim narrowed his eyes as he turned to glance at Ryle.

’’What? Are you offended?" Ryle wiggled his finger in the air, ’’I am just spitting facts though. What’s even more upsetting is that she stole your staff. You can’t even contact Ivy.’’

Just like what Ryle said, Maxim had tried to contact Ivy on the way but he could not get in touch with her.

Not only that, he even tried calling Daisy’s number, and that too was unreachable.

’’Call Dexter,’’ Maxim spoke up after a moment.

’’That brat? Oh, he does live with your girl, right? Do you think they eloped or what?" Ryle continued his oil pouring business, ’’He worked for two hours before sneaking off when I was not paying attention. I will deal with him when he comes back tomorrow.’’

Maxim closed his eyes and massaged the spot between his brows. It was almost as if he could still hear her voice in his ears, still see her face, still feel her touch but at the same time, she seemed to have gone.

His fingers curled into a fist.

The temperature around them seemed to have dropped a bit.

This time, Ryle did not continue provoking Maxim, ’’How about we go to your place? You know girls tend to make things artistic. Who knows if she left you a goodbye letter or some such sweet shit at your door? I think we should take a look.’’

And for once, it seemed as if his words went through Maxim instead of passing through him.

His dark and bottomless eyes flickered with a shred of hope as he turned around and stepped inside the elevator.

Ryle patted his chest.
