However, quitting meant walking away with little severance-a bitter pill they couldn’t afford to swallow.


    Left with no choice, Mina and her group resigned themselves to their fate: distributing flyers under the merciless summer sun.novelbin


    As they trudged through the scorching streets, the heat seemed almost tangible, as if it were peeling their skin awayyer byyer.


    “I’m going to drop dead if we keep this up!”


    The relentless heat and the weight of their predicament bore down, testing their Limits.


    As they trudged along, drenched in sweat, they happened to pass by Natural Beauty.


    A thought struck them sharply: had they not left, they could be rxing in the cool embrace of air conditioning and sipping tea within those weing walls.


    What a stark contrast to their current plight!


    The vision of suchfort seemed almost cruel now, and regret was clearly etched on Mina’s face.


    Michelle, her jaw set firmly, broke the heavy silence.


    “How about we go back?”


    “Yeah, I think we should! Migge Skincare is merciless.


    They wear smiles when the sailing is smooth, but the moment a storm hits, they abandon us!”


    This sentiment struck a chord, and agreement spread rapidly among the group.


    Driven by both resolve and necessity, they redirected their steps with purpose and strode into Natural Beauty.


    Coincidentally, Madisyn had just arrived at thepany when they entered.


    They stumbled into her unexpectedly, and Mina’s face flushed a mixture of red and pale as their eyes met.


    Michelle, undeterred by the tension, rushed toward Madisyn, eximing, “Boss!”


    Madisyn’s response was icy.


    “I’m pretty sure I’m not your boss anymore.


    ”


    “Miss Johns, we were just ying around before.


    We only went to Migge Skincare to gather intel on them.


    You didn’t really think we wanted to join the enemy, did you?” Michelle tried to smooth things over, her smile strained.


    “We’ve got inside info on Migge Skincare now, and we’re ready to share it with you,” she added, hoping to pique Madisyn’s interest.


    Madisyn scoffed.


    “Did you say the same thing when you entered Migge Skincare?”


    Michelle was speechless, caught off guard by Madisyn’s sharp retort.


    Embarrassment washed over her; she had once betrayed Natural Beauty by taking the form to Migge Skincare, convinced she would cement her position there and that Natural Beauty would crumble without her.


    Yet, Natural Beauty had flourished in her absence, while their life in Migge Skincare proved to be a struggle.


    With her head bowed, Michelle felt too ashamed to look Madisyn in the eye.


    Madisyn assessed the group gathered behind Michelle.


    “You left us for Migge Skincare for a better future, and when Migge Skincare is struggling, you thought you’d just return to Natural Beauty? Sorry, but we’re not a fallback option.
