Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 14

Ines thought for a moment, "Nah, I'll go with you to A City. It's not a sustainable solution to have you moving back and forth all the time, and I don't plan on divorcing you, either. Being together is always a good thing. With my skills, finding a job I like in A City won’t be hard."

She, like him, took marriage very seriously.

Ines didn't know that A City's Meyer family was abuzz because of her. Ever since the old man of the Meyer family received a call from B City, he had been ecstatic. Normally, he would have been resting by now, but lately, he couldn't sleep from excitement. He called his granddaughter, son, and daughter-in-law home to play mahjong with him every day.

"Dad, Trenton, and I are planning to go to A City tomorrow to meet our daughter-in-law and pay a visit to her family," said Erica Meyer. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Phillip Meyer raised his eyebrows and pondered for a few minutes before saying, "Yeah, it's time to go over there and meet the in-laws. We accepted their daughter through marriage. It’s only right we give them an explanation."

Ashley rolled her eyes. She was a beautiful 20-year-old girl, cute and charming. "What's the rush? She's already married into our family, are you still worried she'll run away? Ethan finally decided to get married, and it was a quick wedding. Their feelings for each other may not be deep, so let them develop their relationship more. What will you guys do, going over there and causing a ruckus? Aren't you afraid of scaring your daughter-in-law? There'll be plenty of opportunities to visit the in- laws later."

"Okay, Ashley's right," Phillip changed his mind.

Monday.

Ines looked at the familiar office, feeling a bit reluctant. She had been with the firm for six years, and it was impossible not to get emotional about leaving.

As Ines was lost in thought, her colleague Martha's arrived, bringing her back to reality.

"Martha, what can I do for you?"

Martha came in and sat down on the chair next to her, looking a bit embarrassed. "Ines, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Martha, we're colleagues. Just say it, and I'll try my best to help you."

"Well, we recently hired a few audit assistants, one of whom is my niece. I was wondering if you could let her learn from you. You know, it's easier for newcomers to learn if they have a good mentor. My niece is quite talented and smart, so she won't be a burden to you."

On any other day, this wouldn't be a big deal. Ines would've agreed without hesitation. She was happy to help newcomers, as she had been guided by others when she first started.

Seeing Ines hesitating, Martha said awkwardly, "Ines, if you feel it's too much, just forget it. I know you have an intern under you and might not have that much energy."

"Martha, actually, I submitted my resignation to Mr. Swanson today. In a few days, I'll be leaving for A City." There wasn't much difference in having two internsl it wasn't an issue of lack of energy.

Martha was shocked. "Why? You're doing great at your job, so why resign? Mr. Swanson values you."

Ines smiled, "It's not because of work issues, but personal reasons. I'm married now, and my husband is from A City. We can't live in separate cities forever, so I'll follow him to A City to develop..."

Before Ines could finish, a deep voice came from outside the door, giving a sense of a looming storm. "Ines, come to my office for a moment."
