Chapter 305 The Joys and Sorrows of Life

Leonard smirked mischievously and said, "You're embarrassed for pursuing me without knowing, aren't you? Let's consider it even now that I'm openly pursuing you."

Lia pretended to be disgusted, but she still ate the breakfast. "Alright. I forgive you. Let's not make a big deal out of this. Thank you for pursuing me!"

Noticing that she seemed unaffected, he suddenly spoke up seriously, "If it's such a small matter, why did you delete all my contact information? You're still renting from me. Are you planning to avoid me completely?"

She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. "Well, I... I might have forgotten about the studio in the heat of the moment! I get it. I owe you one, okay? Just forget about our previous

Conversations, c

else I won't let you off!"

He retreated a couple of steps toward the door, and his expression was unreadable. "Not only haven't I forgotten, but I've also saved everything."

Lia quickly stuffed the rest of her breakfast into her mouth and lunged at him, but Leonard had already anticipated this move. He dashed out to his car and sped away.

While Lia was busy during the day, Bella couldn't help much and could only sit idly by, scrolling through her phone. She planned to rest for a few days before looking for a new job.

She was confident in her career. Any hospital would welcome someone like her, so she wasn't worried about replaceing work after leaving Dominic

At noon, Félix suddenly called. She guessed what he wanted to say and answered the call in a relaxed tone. "I've resigned. I forgot to tell you. The new hospital offers good pay. If you want to experience life there, it's perfect. But we can't be colleagues anymore although we're still in the same field."

She preemptively answered all of his questions, leaving him momentarily speechless. After at

tho, Some of Le

few seconds of silence, he finally said, "Why the sudden change? You were doing so well. Did Dominic force you to leave? That hospital wouldn't have dared to let you go without his say- 50,"

She remained cheerful. "Life has its ups and downs, people come and go. What's so hard to understand? I'm fine. I can get by anywhere. You should get back to work I want to have lunch.

After hanging up, Bella felt deflated. She absentmindedly opened Dominic's Twitter and was shocked to replace he had deleted the post she liked! How much did he dislike her?

She considered unfollowing him to avoid unnecessary distress but hesitated at the button. She thought, "Forget it. He's cold-hearted, but I'm not like him. After 20 years of ups and downs. with the Miller family, I have to bear this debt of gratitude."

In the afternoon, she went to the bank to make a large transfer, returning the hefty breakup fee he had given her. She wanted to do it cleanly if she was going to sever ties with him.

She didn't want to rely on that money and become a burden, especially since every cent would remind her of him. It just didn't seem worth it.

Once that money was transferred, Bella realized her remaining funds were pitifully low and wouldn't last until after New Year's. It was clear she needed to prioritize her job search.

The next day, she woke up early and began delivering her resume to various public and private hospitals in Joville. Unfortunately, she was met with rejection after rejection. The employers didn't even look at her resume; they simply expressed their refusals politely right from the

start.

Bella began to doubt whether she had been blacklisted in her profession. Reflecting on her career, she realized she had never made any mistakes.
