Chapter 577
Around the corner of the hallway, Everett stood tall and still, watching as a couple embraced each other a short
distance away. Their goodbye was tender and reluctant, filled with a bittersweet longing. Everett couldn't help
but notice Selena's eyes, red and brimming with unshed
tears.
A sardonic smile tugged at the corner of his lips. For three long years, he had braved the loneliness, while she
basked in her romance with Callum. No wonder she wouldn't reconcile with him, no matter how much he tried.
Did he seem like the villain who tore these lovers apart? His fingers, clutching the phone, turned ghostly white,
and a sharp pain twisted in his chest. He pressed a hand to his heart, spun on his heel, and strode away.
After a moment, Callum loosened his hold on Selena. He chuckled at himself with a hint of self-mockery, "Sorry
for the ."
Selena shook her head gently. "Let's just be friends from now on, okay?"
"Of course." Callum exhaled, a touch of relief in his voice. "I'm alright, don't worry. Your uncle's surgery is about

At Bennett Corporation, Yasmine gathered her belongings amid hushed whispers from her colleagues, carrying a
cardboard box as she left the secretarial office. She didn't head straight out; instead, she made her way to the
CEO's office.
Alex blocked her path at the door. Yasmine turned pale, biting her lower lip as she pleaded, "Alex, I've resigned

Alex kept it strictly professional. "If every departing employee wanted to see Mr. Everett, he'd never get any
work done. Besides, there's no need for you to see him."
Did she honestly think Mr. Everett would consider keeping her after what she pulled?
Yasmine pleaded desperately, but Alex stood firm. The crowd of onlookers grew, as did the gossip and snickers.
The higher she had been lifted, the harder her fall, and the pain was just as real.
Yasmine had never denied the rumors of being close to Mr. Everett, accepting gifts and favors without batting an
eye, acting like she was the boss's lady even when she wasn't.
Her tears flowed as she demanded defiantly, "Alex, without even asking, can you really speak for Mr. Everett?"
Implying that Alex, too, had her own motives.
Alex laughed, almost incredulous.
Just because Yasmine played dirty didn't mean everyone else did. Mr. Everett was a boss she respected, a man of
immense capability and leadership. Working beside him was an honor, nothing more.
