A hint of smugness flashed on Evelyn's face as she explained with pretend concern, "Miss Andrew, Leo did this for the company's benefit. You’re too emotional right now and it’s not the best state of mind for an important meeting. I'm more than willing to help you with the workload. I won't steal your credit ...."
Before she could finish speaking, I waved my hand dismissively and said calmly, "You don’t need to say anything else. You can take not only this one project, but you're welcome to take all the future projects."
Leo's eyes narrowed with suspicion. "What are you talking about, Julie?"
I gave him a mocking smile and said slowly, “I quit.”
Then, I pulled out my phone and started to type. "Leo, I just sent you my resignation letter. I'll have Human Resources process my resignation letter over the next couple of days."
Leo gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on me as he said, “Julie, are you sure about this?”
I had no desire to waste any more words on him. I turned to leave, but I only walked a few steps, when Evelyn grabbed my sleeve.
