The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 964

“And if you need someone to look after Niki, I can have our housekeeper help out, or I could ask Kirsten to come and stay with you.”

Danielle’s heart warmed at the offer, but she shook her head. “No need to trouble you. Niki is very well-behaved, and I can manage. I’m just sorry you’ll have to wait a bit longer for me.”

“Don’t be a stranger with me,” Gian said with a light laugh. “You handle your resignation first. Call me if you run into any problems.”

Two days later, Danielle went to the Aerospace Institute director’s office.

When she pushed the door open, the director was reviewing a technical report. He immediately set the document down upon seeing her, a warm smile spreading across his face.

“Danielle, you’re back! I’m so glad the whole rumor business is sorted out. It must have been a difficult time for you.”

“Please, have a seat. I’ll have my assistant get you some coffee.”

Danielle sat on the sofa, her hands resting on her knees. Her tone was serious. “Director, thank you for your concern during this time.”

“I came today because I wanted to let you know that I plan to submit my resignation.”

The director’s hand, holding a teacup, froze in mid-air. The smile on his face vanished.

“Resign? Danielle, you can’t be serious. The Institute has treated you well, and the drone project is on the verge of a major breakthrough. It would be a terrible waste for you to leave now.”

He placed the cup on the table and leaned forward slightly, his tone earnest. “I spent half a year recruiting you from Northridge City. You know better than anyone how many resources the Institute has invested to support your project.”

“This is a critical moment for your career. Why the sudden decision to leave? Is it because of the rumors?”

“The Institute has already apologized to you, and we’re going to formally commend you. If you have any demands, just name them. Please don’t make a rash decision.”

The director stared at the resignation letter on the table, silent for a long moment before finally sighing. “I know you’re a stubborn person. Once you’ve made a decision, it’s hard to change your mind.”

“The Institute truly hates to lose you, but we can’t force you to stay. Alright, how about this: I’ll give you one month to complete a thorough project handover, and then you can officially resign.”

“Thank you, Director.” Danielle stood up and bowed deeply. “I promise to fulfill my duties until my very last day and not betray the trust the Institute has placed in me.”

After leaving the director’s office, Danielle had just reached the entrance to her lab when she saw River Atwood standing at the end of the hallway.

Dressed in a white lab coat and holding a data report, he looked at her with a complicated expression.

“Chief Engineer Crawford, I heard you’re resigning?”

River Atwood walked over quickly, a sense of urgency in his voice. “Is it because of the suggestion I made before? Did it cause you trouble? Is that why you decided to leave?”
