Chapter 676 The Truth

“I want to resign,” Naomi blurted out suddenly.

Caroline halted her steps and asked, “Why do you want to resign when you’re doing so well?”

“Instead of calling it a resignation, I’d call it a change in job position,” Naomi replied.

Caroline was surprised but said, “Let’s talk upstairs.”

Caroline placed her bag in her office and asked, “Why do you want to change your job position?”

Naomi adjusted her glasses. “Working in the HR department doesn’t suit me because I don’t enjoy NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

interacting with people.”

Caroline couldn’t argue, knowing Naomi’s personality well.

“Nevertheless, you’ve been performing exceptionally well in the HR department. It would be a shame to

change your job position,” Caroline said as she served Naomi a glass of water.

“I’m not up to it,‘ Naomi insisted.

Caroline sighed. “Which department would you like to transfer to?”

“I’d like to return to my initial position.

Caroline frowned. “Secretary? That seems like a waste of your talents.”

Naomi lowered her gaze. “The secretary’s role is relatively more manageable for me. Please approve my

request, Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline gazed at Naomi without saying a word.

She had yet to identify the culprit behind the factory arson case.

She had initially transferred Naomi to another department out of suspicion, but now Naomi wanted to

return.

The salary for a position in the HR department was higher than that of a secretary, so Caroline couldn’t

fathom Naomi’s rationale.

Nonetheless, she didn’t press further and offered a smile. “Alright then. The head secretary position is

always available. However, the salary might be lower. I’ll provide you with a separate bonus.”

Naomi nodded and left.

Kenny entered the office soon after, shutting the door and asking. “Why did Naomi come to see you?”

Caroline explained Naomi’s request to change her job position.

Kenny frowned. “The salary difference is only a few hundred dollars. What’s her motive?”

“I’m not sure, but there must be an ulterior motive. It’s best to keep a close eye on her,” Caroline said, massaging her temples.

Kenny said, “Leave it to me. I’ll arrange for someone to monitor her.”

After work, Caroline received a call from Paige, and they decided to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Caroline noticed Paige’s slightly bulging belly and commented, “You’re starting to show.”

Paige lovingly touched her belly and said, “Yes, the baby is growing nicely.”

As they sat down, Paige asked, “Carol, do you still have any of your children’s baby clothes at home? I’d

love to have some hand–me–downs.”

Caroline considered and replied, “I think I left them all in Spania. I don’t use them anymore. However, I can help you ask around.”

“Okay,” Paige said, pulling out two bottles of fresh–pressed juice from her bag and handing one to

Caroline.

Caroline was surprised and asked, “They serve drinks here, so why did you bring your own?”

Paige chuckled. “Alex made it for me before I left for work. He insists that homemade ones are more hygienic.”

Caroline smiled and said, “Paige, I’m really happy for you, seeing you so content.”

However, the smile quickly faded from Paige’s face. “I’m not entirely at ease because Alex’s parents are still an issue.”

“Hasn’t Alex told them the truth yet?” Caroline was taken aback.

Paige pursed her lips. “He told me not to worry about it. I’m going to the restroom, Carol.”

Caroline offered, “I’ll come with you.”

Paige declined, “It’s fine. Alex never leaves my side, even when I use the restroom at home. It’s a relief to be out and catch a breath. Don’t worry.” Caroline relented.

As Paige walked to the restroom outside the private room, she accidentally bumped into someone in the corner.
