Valerie said, “I haven’t told him yet. Please help me keep it a secret.”
“Of course, I will.” Roderick nodded, still finding it unbelievable. “Aren’t you deeply in love with Terrence? Are you sure you want to leave him?”
Valerie had pursued Terrence for seven years, putting almost all her youth into it.
“I’m sure. I don’t want to love him anymore,” Valerie said casually. “After I leave, you’ll be handling the company’s equity division. Sorry, and thanks.”
“Don’t say that.” Roderick lowered his head, hiding the joy in his eyes. “You’re my schoolmate! I only got into Tearie Entertainment because of your strong recommendation.”
Valerie looked at Roderick gratefully.
Though the company belonged to her, it was always Roderick who had managed it. Without him, the company would likely have gone bankrupt long ago.
After one last visit to the company, Valerie left.
Roderick walked her downstairs and didn’t return to the building until her car had completely disappeared from sight.
In the car, Valerie took out her phone and crossed off the second-to-last item on her to-do list: handling the company’s equity division.
Her gaze then landed on the final item: moving out of Foliage Villa.
Once she moved out, she and Terrence would have completely severed all ties.
Valerie drove in silence, the atmosphere in the car growing heavy.
Upon arriving at Foliage Villa, she went straight to the second floor.
The household servants, seeing Valerie return, seemed indifferent. None of them came forward to greet her. They all knew that Terrence no longer loved her.
Since Valerie had moved in, Terrence rarely came back to the villa.
Valerie went to the guest room. She and Terrence had been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time.
The wardrobe was filled with clothes from various major brands, all gifts from Terrence.
But Valerie wasn’t interested.
