Divorce 56

“Mr. Kotler, actually, I’ve been meaning to tell you that I’m handing in my resignation. I won’t be here past the end of the month, Teresa said, her voice steady.

“Resigning? You’re never here full–time, and I’ve looked the other way, but now you’re just quitting on me?” Wayne’s voice rose in disbelief.

y pay for my hours, end of story!

“It’s my choice where I work, Teresa said with a shrug, “You dock my pay

“You…” Wayne sputtered, “Fine, see HR by month’s end. But let me tell you. No other company will take a chance on someone like you. always slacking off and showing up late.

Teresa pressed her lips together and walked out, not bothering to respond.

A while later, a guy meandered in, and Wayne shot him a look of annoyance. “One of the chicks in our department is driving me up the wall. She’s not just lazy. She’s got no get–up–and–go, and now she’s bailing on us.”

The man’s eyebrow arched in surprise. “Shouldn’t that be a relief? What’s got your panties in a twist!”

Wayne sighed with a tinge of regret in his voice. “She’s a looker, and her voice is like a melody. Whenever she’s on the phone, she’s the only one in our department who can really hold her own.”

As soon

soon as “looker” left Wayne’s lips, the man’s curiosity was piqued. “How hot are we talking?” he asked, leaning in for a glimpse.

Wayne whipped out his phone. “Let me show you, he said, scrolling through his photos.

“You got it,” the man agreed, craning his neck for a peek.

In the meantime, Teresa was tidying up her desk, counting down the days until she could leave this place for good.

As the shift was almost over, Wayne summoned her again. Teresa didn’t overthink it; her day was already in the books. She took the elevator up.

When she arrived, Wayne’s office was deserted. She scanned the room, and from the break room stepped a familiar face.

Teresa, did you miss me?” Jason said, his face splitting into a cocky smile.

Teresa’s eyes squinted in disgust as she faced Jason, her ex, the biggest creep ever.

Suddenly, Jason grabbed Teresa’s wrists and pushed her against the table.

“So you’re at NewEdge Media. My uncle’s your boss! Should’ve known, and could’ve dropped by sooner, Jason said, his voice oozing with arrogance.

Teresa, with her stunning looks and figure, had Jason second–guessing his decision to let her go.

With a crack, Teresa slapped Jason across the face and kicked him away with all her might. “I’m through with NewEdge Media. Your uncle or whoever doesn’t mean anything to me.”

“You’re quitting?” Jason asked in surprise.

As she turned to leave, Jason grabbed her wrist. “Where are you headed after this? I saw your resume. You’re divorced. I knew you and Jonathan were history. So why was he helping you out last time?”

The thought made Jason seethe. In the past two years, Jonathan bad taken the reins at Nareigh, and Jason couldn’t figure out how he’d pulled it off.
