Autumn stepped out of the restroom and returned to the private room where the dinner was already winding down. The group dispersed shortly after, and she made her way home alone. The apartment was dark and silent when she arrived. Julian still hadn't returned. She didn't wait up, didn't call, didn't send a single text. Instead, she took a long, warm shower and climbed into bed, falling into a deep, dreamless sleep.
The next morning, Autumn went to the office as usual, her steps steady and her face calm. She completed her work summary for the previous month, then walked to the CFO's office and knocked. Frank glanced over her report and nodded in satisfaction. But after she left, he opened his drawer and pulled out the resignation letter she had submitted the day before. With a heavy sigh, he headed toward the HR department.
As the elevator doors slid open, Frank ran into Alex Song, the CEO's personal assistant. They greeted each other with polite smiles. "Good morning, Mr. Song." Alex nodded. When the doors closed, Alex asked casually, "Which floor, Mr. Miller?" "Tenth." Alex paused. "Going to HR for documents?" Frank shook the resignation letter in his hand. "No, I'm submitting Autumn's resignation."
Alex's expression flickered, as if he had misheard. "Who did you say is resigning?" "Autumn Lewis," Frank replied, puzzled by Alex's reaction. Maybe Alex also recognized her talent and didn't want her to lose such a capable employee. Frank sighed. "I wanted to persuade her to stay, but she said it was for health reasons. I couldn't push it further. Health always comes first."
As Julian's personal assistant, Alex knew exactly about Autumn's relationship with the CEO. His gaze dropped to the resignation letter in Frank's hand, and sure enough, Autumn's name was clearly signed at the bottom. A flicker of shock crossed his mind, but the next moment, a mocking smile tugged at his lips. Autumn had always been in good health. There was no way she looked sick. *Most likely, she's faking it again, trying to get Julian's attention. Tears, tantrums, threats—typical tricks women use to fight for affection.*
When the elevator doors opened on the tenth floor, Frank stepped out first. Alex picked up some documents and headed back up to the executive floor on the seventeenth level. After handing off a file to the secretary, he noticed another assistant holding a stack of documents, about to deliver them to the CEO's office. Alex walked over and reached out his hand. "I'll take those. You can get back to your work. I need to speak with Mr. Carter anyway." The assistant happily handed them over.
Alex knocked on the CEO's office door. Julian's deep voice came from inside. "Come in." Alex entered with the documents and gave a thorough report on the day's agenda. When he finished, he hesitated. "There's one more thing..." Julian looked up. "What is it?" Alex carefully chose his words. "It's about Mrs. Carter..."
Julian's face instantly darkened. He assumed Autumn was making trouble again after last night. Before Alex could continue, Julian cut him off coldly. "Don't report anything about her to me again. Whatever she wants to do, let her." "Understood." Alex pressed his lips together and swallowed the rest of what he had wanted to say. Clearly, Julian was completely fed up with his wife. Why else would he grow impatient the moment her name came up? It was obvious Julian didn't want to hear a single thing about Autumn anymore. With that thought, Alex left the office, documents in hand.
At lunchtime, Autumn went to the company cafeteria. Her presence drew surprised looks from her colleagues. She had just sat down with her tray when a coworker she was friendly with took the seat across from her. In a low voice, the colleague asked, "Miss Lewis, aren't you going home to cook lunch for your husband today?" The coworker knew she was married but had no idea her husband was the big boss of the company.
Autumn stirred the food on her plate. "I don't have to do that anymore." She used to head home during every lunch break to cook for Julian. He rarely came home to eat, so she would deliver the meals to him herself. Just watching him eat happily was enough to make her day. She had kept that routine for years. Only later did she learn that the meals she made with such care usually ended up in the trash. The coworker asked curiously, "Did you two have a fight?" "No, he's just keeping a mistress now." Autumn took a bite of her chicken leg and replied with a mouthful. The coworker immediately shut up and lowered her head, quietly digging into her food. She couldn't believe Autumn would stay this calm after finding out that her husband was cheating on her. Anyone else would have stormed in with a knife by now.
At around three in the afternoon, Autumn received another message from her business partner, Ethan Sharp. It was an offer, just like the last two, stating that the Medical AI Research Department was extending an invitation for the third time. He asked if she was really going to turn it down again. If she missed this one, the opportunity might never come back.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a quiet storm. The resignation that no one takes seriously, the assistant's smug dismissal, Julian's cold indifference—it all paints a painful picture of a woman who has been invisible in her own marriage. Autumn's calm conversation in the cafeteria, casually revealing her husband's infidelity while eating chicken, is both heartbreaking and empowering. She is no longer crying or begging. She is moving on, and no one even notices. The third job offer from Ethan Sharp feels like a lifeline from fate itself. This chapter earns a solid **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Will Autumn finally accept Ethan Sharp's offer and walk away from the corporate world that ties her to Julian? And what will happen when Julian realizes that the wife he ignored is not only leaving the company, but possibly leaving him for good? The silence before the explosion is deafening—I can't wait to see the fallout.
