He Chose His Ex So I Chose My Empire Chapter 20
The next day, I went to the foundation to finalize my resignation.
As soon as I entered the building, someone stopped me.
It was Arthur Hayes.
The COO, who had always spoken with an air of superiority, was now a picture of panic and sycophancy.
“Elara.” He practically ran over, his voice shaking. “This was my fault. It was all my fault.”
“I… I believed the rumors, and I thought Mr. Liam donated because of Miss Serena. I was just trying to get on his good side.”
He bowed his head low.
“So I made the call myself at the board meeting and said Mr. Liam supported Serena. I never thought it would turn into this.”
He lifted his head, his eyes pleading.
“Could you… could you ask the Vance family not to take this any further? It took me years to get to this position…”
I looked at him, my tone flat.
“Mr. Hayes, I’m just here to process my resignation.”
That one sentence made the rest of his words die in his throat.
