Leaving home, | went straight to the office and quickly organized my belongings.
| thought about a proper goodbye, but it seemed unnecessary.
| put the signed divorce papers on the desk and breathed a sigh of relief.
With my luggage in hand, | took Ivan to the airport.
Before boarding the plane, | asked Ivan, “Are you angry that I'm taking you away?”

Just as he was about to open the email, Molly walked in with a swaying gait.
“Mr. Kaufman, this is the report from last time.”
Molly placed the document on the desk and casually walked over to Antonio, placing one hand on his shoulder.
This was their secret little gbefore.
But now, Antofelt a bit weird about it.
Sitting up, he flipped through the document, frowning after just one glance at a page.
The whole page was a mess, except for the format.
Even the department nwas wrong.
Antoslapped the document down on the desk and snapped in a cold. voice, “Who made this report? Don’t
they know how to do their job?
“Get Trent over here. What kind of hiring is HR doing?”
Molly visibly, paled.
“Mr. Kaufman, it was me.
Antonio’s anger dissipated in a flash.
He looked at Molly, who seemed frightened, and for the first time, he felt powerless.
With her eyes welling up, Molly glanced at Antoand asked in a tiny voice, “Mr. Kaufman, do you think I'm
stupid now?”
She wiped away her tears, showing a stubbornness typical of a naive girl.
“If you really think so, | might as well leave. You can find a smarter
secretary”
With that, she turned to walk out.
Antoreached out to stop Molly without thinking but was stunned by her pleading eyes.
He thought, “Grace has never giventhat kind of look.
“She’s proud.
“She’d handle her own problems without asking for help, unlike Molly.
“If she were still around...”
Antonio’s hand slowly clenched as he dropped it, and he was startled by his thought.
Panicked, he released Molly's arm and rubbed his temple, wearily saying, “Just go out.”
Molly hesitated, “Mr. Kaufman...”
“Leave.”

Antolost his patience, his tone getting cold.
Molly bit her lip but finally left with reluctance.
After she left, Antoreturned to his desk and sat down.
As he looked at the flawed report, many scenes popped into his mind.
He thought, “Seven years ago, Grace was also a rookie without work experience or an impressive academic
background.
“She wasn’t outstanding among a bunch of excellent job seekers.

“But she was the only one who made it through the internship.
“Back then, she was energetic and diligent..
“If she didn’t know how to do the report, she'd be all over the experienced folks at work, begging for tips.
“If she couldn't understand swork process, she'd carry a notebook everywhere to write stuff down.
“Whenever there was a call, she'd be there in a flash, ready with the best
fix.
“She could even quickly remember everyone's identity and characteristics at business parties.
“Back then, she always said, ‘Mr. Kaufman, I'll do way better next time."
“If being a secretary were a graded assignment, she would've scored a perfect mark.”
