Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 546 Didn't You Know to Sit down and Wait for Me?

Once David had left, a deep silence settled in.

Everyone was gone, including her. And it was likely she wouldn't return.

The world seemed eerily quiet around Michael, as if no other sounds would ever reach his world again.

All that remained was the sound of his own heartbeat.

The ride back was smooth; they had timed their departure to avoid peak traffic hours in the city, and the car effortlessly entered the highway for the return journey. The sound of the wind grew louder as they hit the highway.

Sitting in her seat, Eva listened to the rush of the wind outside, her mind replaying the words Adrian had said to her just before they had entered the highway. "Are you sure about this? Once we're on the highway, turning back won't be so easy if you regret your decision."

Eva's lips tightened, and she didn't respond to him.

A heavy silence fell between them, and without any further instructions, the driver continued onto the highway as planned.

Realizing Adrian seemed to be preoccupied with the issue still, Eva finally understood the possible reason Michael was unwilling to see her.

"You know, even if I didn't get to see him, you don't have to dwell on it," she suddenly broke the silence.

Hearing her voice, Adrian, who had been quiet all along, looked at her.

Eva, who had been gazing out the window, turned to face him at this moment. "If you show that you care a lot, then you're letting him succeed in what he wants to do." Adrian was taken aback.

This statement made Adrian finally come to a sudden realization.

So that was it...

He stared blankly at Eva for a moment, then said, "Indeed."

If he always cared about this matter, wouldn't that mean Michael had achieved his goal?

With his newfound understanding, a smile curled up on his lips.

"You are right, I was worrying over nothing before."

With that, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

"Alright, then let's not talk about this anymore, and go back to living a good life."

Eva nestled into his embrace, blinking gently after hearing his words.

In fact, she was still preoccupied with the matter she had been thinking about.

For the past few days, Emily had been mentoring Yvette.

Yvette seemed very eager to stay in her position, showing great enthusiasm for learning and a willingness to work hard. Although the tasks Emily assigned her weren't done perfectly, Yvette completed each one with serious dedication. For instance, she actually took the time to memorize the documents Emily asked her to learn, even if it resulted in very noticeable dark circles under her eyes.

Emily was somewhat worried about her, and she couldn't help but express her concern.

"I'm glad you take your work seriously, but your health is more important. You must rest properly. Only with good rest can you work better."

Faced with her concern, Yvette smiled shyly.

"It's okay, I know. I'm used to staying up late; I can handle it."

"What if one day you can't handle it? If I'm not here, you'll be the only one in this position."

Emily tried to persuade her several times, but seeing that Yvette didn't seem to be taking her advice, she worried that continuing might make her seem annoying. She decided not to say more, simply instructing Yvette to take better care of herself and then not pressing the matter further.

In fact, the quicker Yvette learnt, the better it was for Emily. The company had set aside a month for the handover because of the workload and the learning curve involved.

However, if the person taking over was familiar with the work and could become competent quickly, then this transition period could be shortened.

Like Yvette, with her relentless pace of learning, Emily estimated that it might only take about half a month to complete the handover of all the work, allowing her to leave early.

But Emily didn't want this. She hoped Yvette would take over the job in a healthy state, to avoid getting sick or being unable to cope later on when Emily was no longer there to help. Moreover, the most important thing was her health. Over the years, Emily hadn't just grown older; she had also matured in her thinking.

The older she got, the more she realized that good health was paramount, and everything else was secondary.

This resignation was partly because of her health; she felt she could no longer work as hard as she used to.

After finishing a report, Emily intended to have Yvette deliver it to Nathan's office. But when she looked up, Yvette was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did she go? Yvette?"

She called out twice but got no response.

With no other option, Emily stood up, preparing to deliver the report to the office herself.

When she knocked on the office door, a brisk "Come in" was heard from inside, and Emily pushed the door open and entered.

Upon her entry, Nathan was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on a phone call. He glanced over at her briefly as she came in and then continued speaking into his phone. Seeing this, Emily went straight to the desk to leave the report.

Since there was no need for a presentation, she planned to leave as soon as she had placed the report down.

However, just as she reached the door, she heard a voice from behind her. "Wait."

Nathan's voice stopped Emily in her tracks, and she turned around in confusion.

Nathan gestured towards his location, signaling her to come over.

As he was still on the phone, Emily couldn't speak and simply followed the direction he was pointing.

She assumed Nathan had something he wanted her to handle, so she stood beside his office chair, waiting for him to finish his call.

After another two minutes of conversation, Nathan turned his head to replace the young lady standing awkwardly beside his chair.

He was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and silently pointed to his seat.

Emily looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Nathan was at a loss for words.

He sighed silently to himself and then said, "Sit down. Wait here for me."

After he spoke, Nathan went back to his call, leaving Emily standing there, bewildered.

What had she just heard?

Mr. Powell was asking her to sit in his chair?

Emily's gaze drifted down to the office chair, which had only ever been occupied by him...

And this position...

She subconsciously shook her head.

She dared not sit.

Emily pursed her lips, not only refraining from sitting but also stepping a few paces to the side to keep a bit more distance.

Since she had to wait there, with nothing else to do, Emily picked up the report she had just delivered and continued to read it. After what felt like an eternity, Nathan finally returned.

"Didn't I tell you to sit down and wait for me?"
