Two days later, Garrett found that Laney had left. He had been staying in the presidential suite of the club. When he finally checked out he went straight to Pole Shadow to see Laney.
Only then did he find out that Laney had resigned. As for where she had gone, nobody at Pole Shadow knew. It was as though she had vanished into thin air. 6 Garrett knew that if anyone knew where Laney was, it was Janet.

As soon as Janet got off work, she saw Garrett‘s car parked in front of W Marks Studio. She wasn‘t surprised at all, though. Ignoring the man in the driver‘s seat, she started walking towards her home.
Garrett released the brakes slightly and followed Janet. He honked several times and asked, “Where‘s Laney? I can‘t get in touch with her. She won‘t answer my calls. You must know where she is, right?”
Janet stopped and glanced at Garrett indifferently.
“Obviously, she doesn‘t want to see you. And even if you knew where she was, what‘re you going to do? Get her back? And then what? You can‘t give her what she needs, can you? So what‘s the point?” Garrett wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
Janet was right. He bit his lower lip, at a complete loss. But even so, he couldn‘t just lose Laney forever like that. He didn‘t even get to say goodbye to her before she left.
Seeing that Garrett had fallen silent, Janet sighed and softened her tone.
“Anyway, you think it over. No one can help you but yourself. If you really want to be with her, you should be prepared for a fallout with your family.”
After saying that, Janet turned to leave. The next second, she paused and warned him, “Don‘t follow me!”
With a long face, Garrett didn‘t say anything. He refused to listen to her and followed her to her house. Seeing that she was about to enter the villa, he jumped out of the car and caught up with her.
Seeing him like this, Ethan had a new impression of him. At lunchtime, he asked, “Do you still want to look for her?”
Garrett unhurriedly pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. There was a calm look about him.
“I respect Laney‘s choice. The reason why she refused me was very rational. Besides, she doesn‘t want to be with me. If I forced her back, we wouldn‘t be happy. I can only let her go.” He smiled and looked into the distance with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
“The earth is round. If I keep on walking forward, I can eventually meet her again in the near future, right? I have to prepare for that moment. When that day comes, I will definitely be ready with my own choice, and by then, I‘ll never let go of her.” Ethan raised his eyebrows and looked at Garrett quietly.
After a while, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “That day will come. I‘m sure of it.”
