Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 547 Endurance

As she spoke, Nathan had already made his way in front of her.

The sudden closeness of his masculine presence took Emily aback, and a strange sensation rose within her, prompting her to instinctively take a couple of steps back to maintain some distance. Her movement caused Nathan to slightly purse his lips.

"What is it that you wanted to see me about?" He asked.

Emily replied, "Yvette isn't here, so I came to deliver a report."

Upon hearing this, Nathan noticed for the first time that she was still holding the report and reached out to take it from her.

Seeing him take the report and start to review it, Emily thought her presence was no longer needed, "Then, Mr. Powell, if there's nothing else, I'll be going."

After speaking, she intended to leave.

"Is there something frightening in my office?" Nathan unexpectedly asked.

This question left Emily with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Powell, what do you mean?"

"Don't understand?" Nathan raised an eyebrow. "You seem in a hurry to leave, as if there's something in here that's scared you."

Emily was a bit taken aback.

So that was what he meant.

"It seems like ever since I approved your resignation, you've been avoiding me. What, did I mistreat you before?"

The word 'mistreat' coming from Nathan's mouth felt extremely severe to Emily.

Her expression changed slightly, and she instinctively explained, "How could that be? Mr. Powell, you've been... quite good to me."

Although she had previously complained internally about the overtime, she truly held grievances against him at that time.

He was a workaholic, not to mention he always asked his subordinates to work overtime with her, making it seem as if the work was all her own.

"Is that so?" Nathan's eyes narrowed slightly as he silently appraised her. "Then why did you say in private that I was exploiting you?" Emily fell silent.

She was taken aback for a moment, her smile strained.

"Mr. Powell, how do you still remember that... I misspoke in a moment of haste, it wasn't intentional."

"And..."

Emily continued earnestly, despite feeling uneasy. "To be honest, I've learned a lot over the years working with you, Mr. Powell."

It was tough, but her progress was remarkably fast. Nathan's demands on her were extremely strict, which naturally led to her rapid development.

Now, even if she resigned, wherever she went, she felt capable of holding her own.

"Is that so?" Nathan sat down in his chair, but his gaze remained on her.

Emily wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that ever since she decided to resign, Nathan's looks towards her had been getting increasingly strange. She bit her lip, nodding unsteadily. "Yes."

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly cool down, and not knowing what else to say, Emily was eager to leave. However, seeing that Nathan seemed to have something more to say, she reluctantly stood her ground and waited. After a while, when Nathan didn't speak, Emily didn't want to talk anymore and thought about just leaving. Just as she was about to do so, Nathan spoke again, "How is the colleague, who's taking over for you, doing?" Upon hearing this, Emily had to pause, "She's doing quite well. She learns quickly, is very hardworking, and can endure hardship. With her helping you, there definitely won't be any problems."

Nathan nodded.

"I think at this rate, I can complete the handover of all the work to her in less than a month."

At this statement, Nathan paused, and after a moment, his gaze drifted leisurely to her face. "Less than a month?"

"Yes, I think half a month will be enough."

"So, you're saying that after half a month, you'll be able to leave?"

Upon mentioning this matter, Emily was quite delighted, "I feel that if she can stick with it, then I should be able to leave in half a month."

As she spoke, joy and excitement were unmistakable on her face, her eyebrows lifted in a way that clearly showed she was in a good mood.

Moreover, during this period, she seemed to be wearing makeup every day. Not only that, but her attire was no longer the usual two sets of work clothes she used to wear. She began to wear different outfits and even adorned her wrist with some bracelets.

These changes prompted Nathan to reflect.

Had he been too harsh on her at work before, causing her not to have time to change into new clothes, not to have time for makeup, and not to have the inclination to think about accessorizing?

With this thought, Nathan pursed his lips.

"Mr. Powell?" Emily waved her hand in front of Nathan's face. "If you don't have anything else, may I leave? I still have some work to take care of."

Nathan sighed with relief in his heart.

"Go ahead."

After she left, Nathan made a call to his assistant to come over.

When the assistant arrived, Nathan went straight to the point. "Have you taken your annual leave this year?"

Upon hearing this, his assistant shook his head.

"No, Mr. Powell, I'm too busy to take my annual leave."

His assistant's response confused Nathan.

As if unable to believe it, Nathan glanced at the time on his computer and realized that the New Year was approaching, and they had not yet taken their annual leave...

"What about Emily? Has she taken her annual leave?"

As soon as he asked this question, his assistant looked at him with a somewhat strange expression.

"Mr. Powell, did you forget because you were too busy? When we wanted to take our annual leave earlier, we ran into a big project, and you told us not to take annual leave this year, and instead, you would give us a bonus at the end of the year..."

At this point, the assistant's expression changed slightly. "Or did you forget about the bonus too?"

Nathan fell silent.

This conversation reminded Nathan that such a thing had happened in the first place. He truly had been too busy.

"Mr. Powell, don't you think you should also take a break?"

Nathan thought of something and asked, "Did you take your annual leave last year?"

"No." His assistant answered.

Just as he expected.

"What about Emily?"

The assistant looked desperate. "Her? Don't even mention it, Emily has never taken an annual leave since she started at our company."

Suddenly, Nathan felt like he understood why Emily wanted to resign and why she was so happy to know she could leave the company early.

She hadn't taken any annual leave in all the years she had been at the company?

"When it comes to this, I think Emily is really tolerant. Although she usually looks like an adorable and soft girl, I didn't expect her to be capable of handling serious matters. She's diligent with projects, and it really is a bit hard to let her go." After speaking, the assistant scratched his head.

"But everyone has their own aspirations, and there's nothing that can be done if she doesn't want to do it anymore. We can only wish her all the best for the future."

However, after saying so much, when he looked up at Nathan, he did not get a response but rather saw Nathan sitting there thoughtfully.
