SWNOVELS Chapter 898
The proposal was over, and that same night, Maria and Sidney returned to Cloudflare City.
Maria lived in a cozy and beautifully decorated one-bedroom apartment in the Waterfront District. As they arrived at the door, she turned to look at Sidney, her pretty eyes holding a teasing emotion. "It's so late. Do you want to come in and rest?"
Sidney's handsome face showed signs of fatigue, and he directly refused, "I'm tired. I want to go home and get some proper rest."
Maria chuckled softly, reaching out and slowly sliding her finger down his chest. Under her touch, she could feel his muscles tensing slightly.
"Do you think I'm inviting you in for something else? You're overthinking it. I just want you to rest here."
As her words fell, she stepped closer to Sidney, slightly tilting her head up, her crimson lips curving into a seductive smile.
"Of course, if you're up for something more exciting, I wouldn't mind either."
Sidney immediately grabbed her wrist, stopping her from moving further.
His breathing became heavier, and his tone grew colder as he spoke, "Lucas and Aveline have reconciled. You don't need to keep fulfilling his orders. I'll be submitting my resignation tomorrow." With that, he released her hand and turned to leave.
Maria's smile deepened as she spoke, "Once you resign, where will you find such a good job? You can rest whenever you like, get the highest commissions, and the boss even visits your mother from time to time. Sidney, you should know better than to refuse." Sidney's steps halted, his hands clenched tightly at his sides. "Maria, don't you find this laughable? You're doing all this just because you're afraid I'll go after Aveline, right? Stop playing these games. I won't disturb her happiness, and I never want to see you again." He stepped into the elevator, turning around as the doors slowly closed. He saw Maria standing there with her arms crossed, looking at him with an ambiguous gaze that made him deeply uncomfortable.
From the start, he knew Maria's intentions!
She had deliberately spiked his drink, and after he drank it, they ended up sleeping together. The next morning, he felt like his whole world had shattered.
He actually slept with her!
How could he ever face Aveline after that?
He liked her!

She had noticed his affection for Aveline, and she intended to stop it.

In the beginning, he had endured it.
But every time he saw Aveline, he felt ashamed, unable to face her.
However, things were different now.
Aveline was with Lucas.

The next day.
Maria arrived at the studio and, sure enough, saw that Sidney's desk was already empty.
She opened her phone, finding a new email in her inbox-Sidney's resignation letter.
As she read through the formal message, a smile tugged at her lips.
Immediately after, she made a phone call, issuing a few orders to the person on the other end.
