Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 27

We were still technically married, yet she was eager to move on.

The shares were just too hot to handle, their value skyrocketing. And I never wanted to keep them.

But the thought of making Margaret happy too soon was something I couldn't stomach.

I frowned slightly. "And who are you to ask?"

Margaret laughed lightly, her posture oozing superiority. "You're not planning on hoarding the shares, are you? Those were a gift from Bryant to his wife. Once you two are divorced, they're no longer yours!"

"Have you not seen a doctor yet?" I asked, feigning confusion, then added, "It's best to treat illnesses early. Otherwise, when it gets to the point where drugs aren't working, the only choice left might end up being a loony bin."

She narrowed her eyes. "Jane, are you calling me a psycho?"

I couldn’t be bothered to argue further and asked, "You got my resignation letter, right? Please expedite its approval."

"As if I needed your reminder. I submitted it to HR last night," she was itching for me to be out of the picture as soon as possible.

I didn't respond further and sat at my desk, sorting through things that needed handing over.

Bryant probably wanted me gone as soon as possible, too. Resigning seemed to be just a matter of days away.

Seeing her words did not affect me, Margaret became agitated. "Even if it means breaking the sky, you must return those shares. Don't be shameless!"

Just then, Linda came in with a coffee for me. Without looking up, I instructed, "Please take this to Mr. Ferguson's office."

In the presence of others, Margaret couldn't lash out, even though she was fuming. But it wasn’t long before I heard a commotion from her office.
