"I haven’t approved your resignation letter, so you’re still an employee of Wallace Group." Her tone softened a little. "Let’s set the apology aside for now—go back and finish the meeting."
I tugged at the corner of my mouth in a smile. "Miss Wallace, since when have you started caring about procedure? Brian hasn’t even completed his probation, yet he was still promoted to director, wasn’t he?"
Her gaze froze for a moment. "The company’s decisions don’t seem to be yours to question, do they?"
"Yes, you’re right—it’s not my place," I nodded. "That’s why I’m choosing to walk away. Out of sight, out of mind."
With that, I stepped around her and kept walking.
She clearly hadn’t expected me to be so decisive. She froze for a moment, then came after me again, heels clicking sharply.
"Raymond! What are you making a fuss about? Just because I didn’t make you a director?"
I looked at her, suddenly finding it laughable. She still thought I was sulking just over the position.
"Megan." I spoke each word clearly. "We’ve known each other for so many years—when have you ever seen me lose my temper over work?"
