A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 49

After spending her last night at home, Eleanor’s half–month vacation finally came to an end.

She remembered that she needed to hand over her work at VitaLife Global, so she forced herself to get out of bed despite her

exhaustion.

After breakfast and taking her medication, her spirit improved slightly, but her face still looked terrible.

She put on heavy makeup to cover up her sickly complexion and then grabbed her bag and headed to VitaLife Global.

As soon as she entered the office, Jeannie and Amanda gathered around her, “Eleanor, did you quit?”

Eleanor nodded, “Yes.”

Jeannie, looking upset, grabbed her hand and said, “Why did you quit so suddenly?”

Amanda also looked puzzled, “VitaLife Global pays much higher than other companies, and you can earn a few hundred thousand dollars a year at least. Quitting is such a waste.”

Eleanor smiled, “VitaLife Global does offer high salaries, but I have other plans.”

Amanda glanced at her, “Were you hired by the Laurence Group?”

Jeannie’s eyes widened in surprise. The salaries at the Laurence Group are several times higher than at VitaLife Global! Are you about to strike it rich?”

Eleanor chuckled at Jeannie’s adorable expression. “No, the plan I’m referring to is for my personal life and has nothing to do with

work.”

As Amanda realized that Eleanor had not been hired by the Laurence Group, her jealousy transformed into curiosity. “So, you’re not planning to work anymore?”

Eleanor shook her head, maintaining her composure. “No, I’ve decided to step away from work.”

Since Amanda couldn’t glean any more details about Eleanor’s future plans, she couldn’t resist making a snide remark. “Seems like you’ve gotten quite cozy with the wealthy and famous.”

She wonders which old man is sponsoring her, to the extent that she doesn’t even need to work anymore.

Eleanor glanced at Amanda and coldly said, “My affairs have nothing to do with you, right?”

The reason Rosita held a negative opinion of Eleanor was primarily due to Amanda’s incessant gossiping about her being taken care of by various older men.

Working here for so many years, she didn’t know how many “sugar daddies” Amanda had spread rumors about her having.

In the past, Eleanor had always endured it because she needed to make money at this company.

Now that she was leaving, and Amanda tried to belittle her again, she would not be as patient as before.

Amanda didn’t expect the usually submissive and weak Eleanor to dare talk back.

Angry, she wanted to end their relationship right then, but Jeannie stopped her, “Amanda, Eleanor is leaving, let her at least hand over her work to you first.”

“I have no obligation to take her work!” Amanda glared at Eleanor and stormed back to her desk.

She made a loud noise moving her chair, as if that wasn’t enough to vent her anger, she picked up a file and slammed it on the

desk.

The loud noise startled Jeannie, who covered her mouth and whispered to Eleanor, “Rosita told you to hand over your work to Amanda, and she even agreed to it herself. Now she’s being difficult”

Eleanor didn’t seem to care, “I’ll go find Rosita and ask for someone else.”

She took the card for the president’s exclusive elevator and headed in its direction.

Rosita was in charge of the president’s office and served as the President’s special assistant, usually working on the top floor and only coming down occasionally.

To get to the President’s top floor, one had to use this exclusive elevator by swiping a card; otherwise, access was denied.

All the employees in the president’s office had cards because the President and Rosita might need them for urgent matters at any time.

Eleanor swiped her elevator card, and the elevator soon rose and opened its doors.

Inside the spacious and luxurious elevator, two people stood side by side.

When Eleanor saw them, she froze on the spot.
