Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 128
I didn’t want to deal with Tara anymore. I was too tired.
Looking at Tara, I said indifferently, “Since you won’t officially approve of my resignation, forget it. I don’t want your salary and bonus from last month, and I’ll do without health insurance. Consider this my final notice.”
Health insurance was only part of the reason I had wanted to go through the normal resignation process. When I was at the end of my rope, the hiring personnel at Midwest Packs Corporation had chosen me, a human with no work experience, as an employee.
At that time, I’d sold myself for a large sum—enough to save Silas but not enough to cover the follow-up treatment expenses.
The Sterling pack hadn’t found him yet, so he was just a poor orphan like me. All of his medical expenses were paid for by Harper and me from our part-time jobs.
But it was far from enough. I looked for higher-paying jobs everywhere, but there was nothing. No one wanted to hire me. Until Midwest Packs Corporation had accepted me.
They had given me a stable job, and they had lent me the money I needed to cover Silas’s medical bills. I was forever thankful for them and grateful they’d taken a chance on me.
That was why I had been working here for five years. No matter which company tried to poach me, I had never been tempted.
But I had no loyalty to Tara, and I’d never expected her to be so difficult. And I certainly wasn’t going to allow her to use me the way she wanted to.
I took off my badge and placed it on Tara’s desk. Then, I turned around and walked away without looking back.
Tara cleared her throat.
“Taya, when you signed the loan agreement with MPC, you signed another agreement. It was clearly written that you must get the approval of the CEO in order to resign. Otherwise, you will have to pay six times the penalty fee.”
I stopped walking.
Five years ago, I was so desperate for the money, I signed the contract without putting much thought into it.
It had never ever occurred to me that I might want to quit one day.
