Chapter 2 True Colours
- After signing the agreement, Halie removed her glasses and let down her tightly coiled hair.
- At this moment, her long, black hair cascaded down, complementing her delicate, oval face. No matter how one looked at it, she was undeniably a stunning beauty.
- Her face no longer appeared as rigid and emotionless as before. Her clear, glass-like eyes now radiated brilliance.
- Finally.
- She could leave this place.
- Halie didn't linger any longer thinking about this. She stood up, changed her clothes, and left the old, stiff outfit lying on the bed. Now, she had changed into a light yellow dress and high heels, looking tall and elegant.
- She picked a few favourite clothes, packed her things quickly, and wheeled her suitcase out.
- At that moment, Eva was tidying up. When she saw Halie coming downstairs, she looked at her as if she were a stranger. Is this Mrs. Robson?
- The current Halie is entirely different from before.
- Halie walked up to Eva with a smile. "Eva!"
- "Mrs ... Mrs. Robson!" Eva was taken aback. It took a while for her to find her voice. If Halie hadn't spoken, Eva would have thought there was another person in the house.
- Halie beamed and said, "I divorced Austin today. I'm moving out now. Thank you for taking care of me all these years." She nodded to Eva.
- "No, no, it was my duty to take care of you. But are you really leaving?" Eva asked, astonished.
- Halie nodded. She had put on light makeup on her face, which made her look incredibly delicate. "Yes!"
- "If ... if Mr. Austin saw this side of you, he might not want to divorce." Eva said, looking at Halie.
- Halie chuckled and said, "Eva, keep this a secret for me!"
- She had been plotting all these things because she didn't want Austin to know.
- Finally, Eva could only nod and say, "Alright, take good care of yourself!"
- "I will, you too!" Halie replied, reaching out to embrace Eva. The housekeeper had taken care of her meticulously, just like her own mother. She was very grateful for this kindness.
- "Alright, Eva, I'm leaving!"
- "Let me see you off."
- "No need; I called a cab. It's late; you should get some rest!" Halie said.
- In the end, Eva nodded, seeing Halie at the door. Halie glanced at the old, stiff suit in her hand before tossing it straight into the trash can.
- Finally, she could say goodbye to all this.
- Halie got into the cab, and it drove away. Eva couldn't help but sighed. If Mr. Austin saw Ms. Lane's new look, he would surely regret it.
- At the airport, Halie wheeled her luggage. She looked back at the dazzling night view of Atrila. Goodbye, Atrila!
- Goodbye, past life!
- Then, without looking back, she walked towards the security checkpoint.
