Chapter 186 A Sad Truth Of Reality



Alvin wasn't sure how long Anya might take at her office. He alighted the car seeing her taking car support to stand. He cupped her face which turned pink due to the cold, "You are weary. Do you still have to work?"

Although he patiently asked, his hands were itching to get her inside the car and take her to the Oasis mansion, right away.

Anya felt dizzy so she held the car. She had thought she would be fine after eating but she wasn't. "I am." 'exhausted.' She felt weak to her bones, her body was crying for rest.

Being awake all night, catching and beating those men, how could she have any energy left?

Looking at Alvin being so attentive, she wanted to ask him if he was alright. Anyway, Alvin was always attentive, it's just his way of handling was a bit extreme.

Breathing out slowly, Anya shook her head, "I will be back in ten minutes." She had no work there. She had initially planned to take everyone out for dinner but she wasn't even in the mood to speak with anybody. So she will just collect her things and leave.

Nostalgic at the sight of the building, she tripped just at the first step and Alvin caught her. "Little Donut!" He snapped at her.

Anya's shoulders jerked at his sharp tone. She felt awake hearing him. This is the Alvin she knew, He was concerned but it comes out as anger. "I am alright." Her mellow voice soothed the annoyed man.

She went upstairs, collected her things in a box under three pairs of gloomy eyes. They thought Anya was sad for leaving, having no idea about the case hearing.

"Skye, did you ask the Chief Justice?" Senon was hopeful.

"Anya, are you really leaving?" Luna still couldn't believe Jason was letting her go.

"Skye, Chief said that our office will be shifted soon." Because this location was revealed to Alvin. "Could you drop us visits?"

Luna shook her head in resignation. "Stay in contact with us." Once Anya was out of the team, they weren't allowed to tell about the location. Nevertheless, it was a piece of cake for Anya to find their location.

Senon knew everything, he was wishing for a little goodness to be happy in the bad time, "Skye, what are you planning about your job?" Her expertise was top-notch. The private companies won't be able to use her skills.

Luna's face contorted with disapproval, "Don't go back to Cyber security." The cyber security team was waiting for a chance to shame them to death.

Anya turned around hearing the two, "I have resigned from both the team and the cyber security." She revealed. People were waiting to laugh at her in Cyber Security, she won't give them a chance.

Luna stopped herself from crying. She went ahead and hugged Anya. "Why can't you stay back?"

Anya gently patted her and addressed the three. "I will be buying a new house. I will invite you guys. Be my guest." She forced a smile.

Melvin nodded and Senon was displeased, understanding she won't be able to drop by at the office.

'Beep.' Everyone's mobile beeped, excluding Anya. Senon and Melvin clenched their teeth looking at the group chat. Anya was removed from Team Ace.

Anya could easily read their faces. She pulled away Luna who wasn't letting her go. There were many cases where both of them tackled together as if playing a fun game. Luna was going to miss her terribly.

Senon extended his hand to give her a lollipop. Anya involuntarily reached out but hesitated. There was nothing good to be happy about. "I will get going." She pulled her hand away.

Senon grumpily went and sat on his chair, slapping the lollipop on the table.

Melvin shook her hand and wished her the best with his actions. "Take care of him." She looked at Senon who was pretending to be busy.

Blue, Melvin could only nod in response.

Anya felt like she was leaving her family. But if she falls weak in front of them, Luna would definitely start crying and Senon will lose interest in work. Melvin will have to struggle to calm them down without Patrick around.

Holding her breath, quickly grabbing the box, Anya left without turning back. She looked at the ceiling and breathed out through her mouth to calm herself.

Her speed slowed down when she saw Jason in the lobby. She suddenly felt the energy she had gathered disappear in an instant. She never told anybody but she really admired Jason.

He was lively, he teases everyone, at the same time, he never misses to guide them whenever needed, boosts their confidence. He never showed them the work stress he always has and the struggles he faces.

There were countless times he stood by her. She doubted herself when he trusted in her. She was struggling when hearing people taunt her, calling her names and whatnot, and Jason taught her how to ignore them. He helped her when she needed it the most, guided her when she was a mess with a baby, and worked while being reluctant to trouble her parents.

He had a vast contribution to her development. She was definitely going to miss him, probably more than the other members.

She earnestly bowed to him, "Thank you for taking care of me." Feeling her eyes sting, she didn't wait for a response and left from there.

Jason watched her enter the elevator before turning around. The three officers looked at him and returned to the office. Jason knew everyone was disappointed in him but he was helpless too. He remained the bad guy to them without bothering to tell them that Anya wished to leave.

When he went to his office room, the three officers came out and dejectedly watched Anya leave. They wanted Paxton to return to the capital city so that they could give her a proper farewell.

Rob collected the box from Anya's hand. Alvin, who noticed the box had photo frames, medals, appreciation awards, and certificates, held her shoulders, "What's wrong?" He hid his emotions too well behind his aloof tone.

Anya was worn out with complex emotions and her body demanded rest. She pointed to the car, "Let's go." She wanted to sit.

She tried to move but he was holding her with frowns on his face. She hazily watched him while her lids were drawing close as if they wanted to latch on to the magnet.

He wasn't understanding what was going on in her little head. She looked unwell so he thought to take her to the hospital first, "Little Donut…"

Her voice hardly touched his ear, "I resigned." Giving in to her tiredness, she took a step closer and leaned on him. The warmth of his body caused her to lower her guard and close her eyes.

Alvin was taken by surprise and understood she was well but tired. Wrapping his arms around her, he argued back looking at her half-face, "But you like it." As far as he could fathom, she loved her job.

Her lips faintly curled to a sad smile. Five years ago, she liked him but lost him. She liked her job but she failed to continue due to her own high expectation from her job. Now, Alvin was back at her side. She wasn't sure if she could be by his side.

Will she lose him again?

Will he have the patience to wait for her?

She couldn't help but protect her stupid heart that loses to him, "We can't get everything we like." She accepted a sad truth of reality.
