With that, Clarissa turned and took out a clean set of pajamas from the wardrobe, handing them to Luana. "Go take a hot bath and relax. I'll make you something delicious to eat. After your bath, have some food and then get a good night's sleep, leaving all your worries behind. Don't think about anything, okay?"
Luana took the pajamas and nodded, "Thanks, Clarissa."
In Luana's heart, Clarissa was always like this, unconditionally good to her no matter when or where.
Clarissa was like a bright and warm light, illuminating her originally dark and cold path in life.
However, fate was so cruel to Luana. The late-stage heart failure would soon take her life.
She knew that if Clarissa found out she was about to leave this world, she would be devastated.
Clarissa was such a kind person. Luana really couldn't bear to see her in tears.
Luana's gaze fell on the busy figure in the kitchen, and she walked towards it, "Clarissa, I'm planning to quit my job."
Upon hearing this, Clarissa nodded in strong agreement, "You really should take a good rest. These past few years, you've worn yourself out for a little bit of overtime pay. Quit your job and rest at home. From now on, I'll take care of you."
A warm current surged in Luana's heart, and she softly responded with an "Okay" before turning towards the bathroom, holding back her tears.
Fate seemed to have never favored her. Since she was destined to part with this world, she would spend the last three months accompanying Clarissa, cherishing their final moments together.
The next morning, Luana got up early, put on makeup carefully, and used thick layers of foundation to cover her pale complexion. Then, she headed to the office to prepare to resign.
As soon as she sat down and was about to turn on her computer to write her resignation letter, her colleague Sabrina Bennett rolled her chair over.
"Luana, have you checked your emails?" Sabrina asked.
Luana shook her head. She had been taken away by Cline over the weekend and had no time to check her emails.
Sabrina quickly informed her, "Laura sent down an appointment letter, and it's said that the chairman's daughter will be coming to the company to take up the position of CEO today."
Luana had no impression of the chairman's daughter and was not interested in this matter, as she was already planning to leave. Whoever took the position of CEO was irrelevant to her.
However, Sabrina was full of curiosity about this and said with a gossipy face, "I heard she just returned from studying abroad. Although she has a Ph.D. in Business Administration, she doesn't have much practical work experience. Is she not afraid of being talked about behind her back for taking up the CEO position directly?"
Joan, sitting next to Sabrina, disdainfully sneered, "Who would dare to gossip about her? She is the dream lover of that person from Moriarty Group."
Hearing the words "Moriarty Group," Luana's fingers holding the mouse paused.
"What? What?" Sabrina seemed to have heard a secret that could shake the entire social circle. She tightly grabbed Joan's arm, emotionally saying, "Aren't we all saying that the person from Moriarty Group has no interest in women? How suddenly there is a dream lover, and she is our company's incoming female CEO?"
Joan smiled and patted Sabrina's hand, teasingly saying, "Your information is too outdated. You don't even know such a big thing. How can you thrive in the CEO's office in the future?"
Sabrina quickly grabbed Joan's sleeve, acting cute and pleading, "Joan, just give me some inside information. I'm dying of curiosity."
Joan then lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously, "Mr. Moriarty and our chairman's daughter have known each other since childhood. According to those rumors, Mr. Moriarty proposed to Miss Ortega five years ago. But Miss Ortega was so focused on her studies at the time that she refused him. This caused some estrangement between them, and they had no contact for five years. However, the moment Miss Ortega returned to the States, Mr. Moriarty couldn't wait to pick her up at the airport, which is enough to prove his deep feelings for this female CEO."
Sabrina instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes wide like two round black gems.
She exclaimed, "Oh my God! This is a real-life romantic love story!"
Hearing these words, Luana felt as if her heart was tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making her breathing rapid.
Her complexion also turned pale as paper.
It turned out that Cline had terminated their agreement in advance because the beloved person in his heart had returned.
