---- Chapter 2 I evaded Hayden's grasp and stepped back. "It's office hours right now, Hayden." Hayden frowned. "I know that you're still angry with me. How about I drive you over to the hospital to visit Mrs. Atwell after work?" I snorted coldly. ''That's no longer necessary." Mom was no longer around, and he didn't deserve to see her anymore, regardless. If she knew that I was being criticized for being someone's mistress because of him, she would be angry and upset. Hayden felt that I was behaving strangely. He paused for a moment before saying, "In just a few more days, I'll be able to divorce Scarlett. We can get married after that." He then retrieved two gift bags from under his office desk. "I especially asked a friend to buy ---- these from abroad. They're supplements for Mrs. Atwell." I gazed at him and took a deep breath. It was too late. Mom could no longer accept his sincerity. Hayden was rather confused by my silence, but just as he was about to ask about it, his phone suddenly started ringing. He took out his phone, then glanced at me. In the end, he seemed to arrive at a decision and turned to leave. I knew that it had to do with Scarlett. At the moment, Hayden's legitimate wife was her and not me. Still, I felt at peace with myself, because it no longer mattered to me. I dropped by the HR department and handed in ---- my resignation letter. My sudden resignation didn't surprise the HR manager, Hilda Errington, at all. "Hayden will definitely take care of your affairs for you, Lucy," she reassured me. I looked at her, unable to stop myself from sneering inwardly at her comment. Everyone seemed to think that I was Hayden's secret lover and that he should be paving a way out for me. It didn't occur to any of them that I was his actual girlfriend and he had betrayed my feelings by marrying someone else behind my back. It never crossed their minds that I had only chosen to leave because he had thoroughly broken my heart. I packed up my personal belongings into a box. Then, I carried the box with me as I walked toward the elevator in a daze.
