Of course, a few comments had that unmistakable passive-aggressive edge.
"Layla, I'm sooo jealous you get to travel! Unlike me, stuck working overtime at the office all through the long weekend!"
"Mr. Henson promised me quadruple pay, though!"
I read Sybilla's comment underneath my post and smiled. I didn't bother replying.
She was showing off her quadruple overtime pay. And so what?
I couldn't have cared less.
Besides, once that machine broke down, no amount of overtime pay would cover what she'd owe.
I was about to put my phone down and get some sleep.
My plan was to head out to the resort first thing in the morning.
Then my phone rang.
It was a headhunter.
They told me a major firm had been watching me for a while.
The moment they saw my resignation post, they reached out.
And the salary they offered was the kind you don't say no to.
The headhunter mentioned that the company was based in the exact city I was traveling to. If I was willing, they wanted me to come in for an interview.
I agreed without hesitation.
After I hung up, I let out a long breath.
Sure enough, the moment I cut Victor and Sybilla out of my life, good things started happening.
