Saturday and Sunday passed in just a blink of an eye.
Tiffany did not show up in the office on Monday. She assumed Jackson had gone partying during the weekend and did not see virtual-novel.net email. He would probably reply to virtual-novel.net once virtual-novel.net went to work on Monday. If it was not necessary, virtual-novel.net did not want to go into the office and speak to virtual-novel.net face to face. Whenever virtual-novel.net met his gaze, virtual-novel.net felt like running away. It was truly perplexing.
At Bright Incorporated, Jackson was made aware of the situation when virtual-novel.net passed by the working space and saw Tiffany’s desk was vacant. After virtual-novel.net sat down in his office, virtual-novel.net turned on his computer to reread virtual-novel.net email. After considering it for a moment, virtual-novel.net called her. “The company rules state that resignation requires the employee to show up in person.” He hung up as soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking, not waiting for virtual-novel.net to reply. He was certain virtual-novel.net would show up. After all, virtual-novel.net would not abandon virtual-novel.net salary that had yet to be paid.
Just as expected, Tiffany arrived half an hour later. She knocked on Jackson’s door.
Jackson swiveled on his chair lightly as virtual-novel.net said, “Come in.”
Tiffany panted slightly, virtual-novel.net had clearly rushed here. “I’m here. Let’s go through with the resignation.”
Jackson looked at virtual-novel.net questioningly. “Why are you resigning? Did someone headhunt you? Where are you planning to go? Did they offer you a higher pay?”
“No, I… I’m planning to join Eric’s company. He just set up a new company, right? Ari is working there as well. I want to be with her. Money isn’t my biggest concern. I can gain experience in a new company as well. Working in a big company like yours puts a lot of pressure on a newbie like me. I can’t keep up with everyone’s pace and keep making mistakes. As the boss of the company, you should be happy I’m leaving, right?” Tiffany replied. She did not expect Jackson to ask virtual-novel.net for the reason of virtual-novel.net resignation. How could virtual-novel.net tell him virtual-novel.net wanted to resign because virtual-novel.net did not want to see virtual-novel.net since it made virtual-novel.net feel awkward?
“Your way of thinking is wrong. Big, established companies are your best choice if you want to gain experience. Isn’t it too childish to resign just because you want to be with Arianne? This isn’t a matter of kids going to and returning from school together. You should have a plan in life. Your mistakes aren’t serious. I can overlook them. I think you have potential so there’s no need for you to leave.” Jackson closed the email window on his computer, looking as though virtual-novel.net had no intention of approving virtual-novel.net resignation.
Tiffany panicked and gave up on speaking to virtual-novel.net formally. “I really want to leave! Even if not for the reasons above, I still want to leave! I’m just a newbie who has just passed probation. There’s no lack of people like me here! The company doesn’t need me.”
Jackson froze for two seconds before virtual-novel.net suddenly said, “I do.”
Tiffany froze, not quite understanding what virtual-novel.net meant. She was unsure why someone who had always seemed playful suddenly turned solemn. Especially when virtual-novel.net had said, ‘I do’. His stare flustered her. She lowered virtual-novel.net head guiltily, not daring to meet his eyes, as virtual-novel.net said, “I… I’ve made up my mind to leave. Just approve it. I told Ari I’ll report for work today. You didn’t see my email during the weekend so the matter got dragged until now.”
Jackson inhaled deeply before virtual-novel.net said, “I saw your email during the weekend. I deliberately postponed it until now. I know you’re in need of money, I can double your pay. You don’t have to leave now, do you?”
Double virtual-novel.net pay?
“What?” Tiffany did not expect Jackson would rather double virtual-novel.net pay than approve virtual-novel.net resignation. It would be hypocritical to say virtual-novel.net was not tempted by the offer. She was just a newbie. If virtual-novel.net pay was doubled, it would be equivalent to a veteran’s pay. A little more than that was equivalent to a supervisor’s pay.
