Claire Sinclair followed him into the editor-in-chief's office. She shut the door and immediately challenged him, "Teacher Hartwell, I never said I wanted to take leave."
Henry Hartwell said with a humorless smile, "It was your man's idea."
Claire Sinclair was at a loss for words. She was just pregnant, not sick. "Teacher Hartwell, I'm not even showing yet. I think I can keep working for a few more months."
Henry Hartwell chuckled. "You can take that up with your man when you get home. It's no use telling me. My only job is to approve your leave."
"..."
'What else could I say?'
And just like that, Claire Sinclair was inexplicably put on paid leave. Landon Winston picked her up and took her back to Evergreen Garden that very same day.
The moment she got home, Claire Sinclair eagerly called a certain someone to protest, but she couldn't get through. A message informed her that The Great Demon King Quincy was in a meeting.
