A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 466

Freddy saw the determined look on Audrey's face and turned serious.

"Audrey, Square Law Firm took you in when you first came to Peace City. Now that you are famous, you want to resign? Let me tell you, I will not sign your resignation application!"

Audrey said indifferently, "Mr. Steele, according to the rules, after my contract expires, I can automatically leave my job. Even if you don't approve my resignation application now, I can still leave the firm at that time!"

"You..." Freddy looked at Audrey angrily.

"But, if I don't sign your resignation application, you won't get this month's salary."

Audrey behaved nonchalantly.

"Since I have decided to quit my job, I won't care about one month's salary. However, since we both work in the legal field, we all know that unjustified arrears of wages are illegal. I still have to go to court for two cases recently. It's convenient for me..."

Freddy was speechless.

It was because Freddy was in the legal field, he naturally knew what Audrey meant.

If Audrey went to court or the labor bureau, suing Freddy for deliberately defaulting on her wages, then she would win. Audrey was very cunning and eloquent. She could easily win cases that, to other people, were very much unlikely to win. If Audrey sued Freddy, not only would he have to return all her wages, but also compensate for Audrey's losses.

Therefore, either way, Freddy was at a disadvantage.

This was a bad side of working in the legal field. Never thought about owing employees' wages. Every employee in the law firm excelled in using law rules. It was impossible to blackmail them.

Audrey's words struck Freddy.

Audrey was a tough nut to crack. If Freddy deducted Audrey's salary, she really might sue him.

Freddy gritted his teeth as he looked at Audrey, who was so confident.

At that time, it was Audrey's confidence that touched Freddy and made him decide to keep her. Half a year had passed, and Audrey had already become the backbone and a money-spinner of Square Law Firm. Freddy wanted to keep Audrey, so her bonus had also been continuously increased.

Even so, Audrey still wanted to leave.

Freddy frowned at Audrey and said snidely, "Are you poached by a big law firm? So, you want to jump ship?"

"Mr. Steele, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"It's not my business, but I do have the right to know the reason why you left Square Law Firm, right? With your current qualifications, if you go to a big law firm, you will only fall behind. Will you be willing to be a foil for those people?"

Freddy said in a roundabout way. He still wanted to make Audrey stay.

"Mr. Steele, this is my business. Besides, I plan to take a break for a while at the moment. I'm not going to any law firm. You're worrying too much."

"If you feel that I have assigned you too much work lately, I can give you some time off, and then you can come back to work. We have been working together for half a year. Everything is negotiable, isn't

it?"

Audrey solemnly said, "Mr. Steele, I have my reason. Please don't make me stay!"

Since Audrey said that, Freddy knew that Audrey would not take back her resignation letter. Freddy had no way but to take out her resignation letter and signed his name in the final consent column.

After signing, Freddy did not want to look at Audrey and turned his back.

Audrey held her resignation letter in her hand, looked at Freddy's signature on it, and smiled.

"Mr. Steele. Then I'm going to work now!"

Audrey turned around and left Freddy's office.

When Audrey came out of Freddy's office, she heard a sound of a porcelain cup breaking on the ground from the office, and the sound startled her.

She sighed.

She could imagine how furious Freddy was right now.

However, she resigned now for the sake of the law firm. Freddy would understand her in the future.

Audrey returned to her seat with her resignation letter.

Brenda, who was sitting behind her, immediately poked her back with a pen as soon as she saw Audrey return.

"Audrey!"

"Yes?"

Brenda frowned at Audrey and asked, "I saw you typing your resignation letter previously, and now Mr. Steele is so angry. Did you resign?"

Audrey calmly replied.

"That's right, Mr. Steele has signed my application."

Brenda was stunned.

"Audrey, you really resigned. The law firm is counting on you now. Please don't resign, okay?"

Audrey lowered her eyes slightly.

"Brenda, I have to resign. Don't persuade me."

Audrey was stubborn. It was hard to change her decision.

Brenda sighed. "Alright then."

Audrey stopped talking and was about to turn around.

Brenda suddenly called Audrey again. "Audrey."

"Is there anything else?"

Brenda looked around and covered her mouth with one hand. She whispered, "Audrey, if you go to any other law firm, tell me, and I will go with you!"

Audrey looked at her in amusement. "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Steele will know?"

"Whatever. He is so stingy now and often assigns me some tough small cases. I've long wanted to leave this law firm. If you have a good place to go, of course, I want to go with you."

Audrey smiled. "I don't have a place to go after I resigned. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

Brenda frowned. "Didn't you quit because you wanted to go higher? I sit behind you and I often help you. Don't lie to me. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

"I really have no intention of job-hopping for now."

Brenda's expression changed slightly as she muttered, "People struggle upwards. Now you are famous, you are also puffed-up. Only wish I had never known you."

Audrey wanted to explain something to Brenda, but then she thought to herself.

She was going to leave, and there was no need to explain further. The two of them were unlikely to see each other again. Moreover, she couldn't tell Brenda her reason to resign. Just leave Brenda to misunderstand her.

At noon, when Audrey was about to leave work, Freddy suddenly walked over and placed a dozen or so documents in front of Audrey.

"These are the cases that need to be dealt with in the next two days. Before you leave your job, all of these have to be done."
