Chapter 1195 Reason for Resignation
Sydney sighed, "It wasn't the HR department that told me. Gianna went there for something and overheard it by accident, so she told me."
"I see." Sean understood.
'I can't believe Gianna said it.
'I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
'It looked like God didn't want her to hide it from Ms. Raines either. Otherwise, how would Gianna have happened to show up at the HR department at that time?'
"So it's true that you are quitting?" Sydney asked, pursing her lips.
Sean nodded. "Yes."
Sydney's heart sank after she got a definite answer from Sean, the person in question. "Why? There has to be a reason, right? I don't believe you have considered resignation for a long time. Gianna and I didn't hear about you quitting or feel you had the intention before you took a leave of absence and suddenly offered to resign. I never want to believe that nothing has happened to you. At the very beginning, Gianna and I guessed that you had a problem with the surgery, which caused damage to your body. As a result, you could not continue to do your job competently and therefore resigned. Yet now I'm sure that your surgery went well and that there was no damage to your body, so Sean, tell me the real reason for your resignation."
After hearing Sydney's words, Sean sighed in her heart and had to admire Sydney's insight.
Surprisingly, Sydney could even guess that Sean's resignation was a sudden intention rather than a decision made a long time ago.
Sean thought, 'Ms. Raines is a very smart person.'
Seeing that Sean was silent, Sydney called out to her, "Sean?"
Sean came back to her senses and responded, "Yes, Ms. Raines."
"Well, tell me why you're quitting. Sean, you know I appreciate you, and I'm used to you being my secretary, so I don't want to let you go if there isn't a proper reason. Do you understand?" Sydney asked. Sean bit her lip, her heart filled with bitterness. "Yes."
In fact, she didn't want to resign either.
However...
Sean looked at Luke once again, her eyes full of various complicated emotions.
It was Luke who told her to resign. She had to listen to him.
Sydney did not know what Sean was looking at on the other end of the phone or what she was thinking about. Sydney rubbed her brow. "Since you understand, you must give me a reasonable explanation. I have to know what you have gone through, right? Don't make me worry about you. If you have difficulties, tell me. If I can help you solve them, I will do it. If not, I can let Julien intervene. The problem can be settled anyway, so you don't need to resign."
"Ms. Raines, nothing happened to me." Sean forced a smile.
In order not to let Sydney find out something, Sean tried her best to calm herself and make her voice sound natural. "I'm quitting because I'm going abroad for some time for further study."
"Go abroad for further study?" Sydney was slightly amazed. "But I haven't heard before that you have the intention to do so."
Sean lowered her eyelids to hide the look in her eyes. "Indeed, I didn't have it before I took a leave of absence. I decided to do that yesterday."
"Oh?" Sydney asked, "Yesterday?"
"Uh-huh." Sean gripped her cell phone tightly and continued to lie.
She had no choice. She had to make a million lies after making one.
Otherwise, it would be exposed at any moment.
"Yesterday I came home after surgery and saw a want ad of a foreign company on the Internet. The position is very compatible with my profession, and I have wanted to take a professional level exam in the past two years, but because I have never worked abroad, my application for the exam has never been approved.
"I had thought about giving up until I
saw this want ad. I was tempted, so last night I wrote an essay and sent it over. They reviewed it quickly and decided to hire me, so today, I offered to resign. I want to go abroad to their company for further study for a year, and after that, I can take the exam," Sean said.
No one could see that sarcasm was written all over her face.
It was unknown whether the sarcasm was directed to Luke who made her lie or to her who lied.
Maybe because Sean lied very naturally, Sydney didn't find any problem and was convinced. "I see. I thought you wanted to quit because of some health problems. Now that it is not true, I'm relieved." "Sorry, Ms. Raines." Sean apologized.
Sydney was completely reassured by now and smiled slightly when she heard Sean's apology. "Why did you suddenly apologize?"
"Because I wanted to change my job without telling you ahead of time and I only told you after I got an offer from another company, which is a big workplace taboo. I..."
"Well, don't feel guilty." Sydney waved her hand. "I am not blaming you. On the contrary, I'm happy for you."
"Happy for me?" Sean was slightly stunned.
Sydney smiled and nodded. "Yeah,
why wouldn't be happy for you when you want to further your studies and make yourself better? I've always appreciated those who work hard, so I'm very supportive of every diligent person. As long as their efforts don't get in the way of others or hurt others, I can try my best to help them. Not to mention that we're friends. Since you want to become better and stronger, of course, I support you."
"I see what you mean, Ms. Raines. You're really a very good person. No wonder many people like you. Even I like you a lot."
But Sean still felt she owed Sydney a lot.
She lied to Sydney, and she wasn't going to further her studies at all.
Instead, she was going to hide and give birth to the baby in her belly.
Sean felt unworthy of Sydney's trust.
She suddenly felt that she was such a despicable person.
"Thank you. I like you a lot too." Sydney was so delighted to hear Sean's confession that she smiled and asked, "By the way, when are you leaving?"
She was asking when Sean was leaving the country.
Sean wasn't really going abroad, so naturally, she couldn't say a definite time. She could only think for a while before replying, "In a week. Next week, I'll apply for a visa and do other things." "Is it too short? You may not get a visa in a week."
"Don't worry. I have a classmate at the embassy who will help expedite the process, so a week is enough." Sean lied again.
She had never lied before. However, in the past few minutes, she had already told several lies.
These lies made her feel ashamed.
But Sydney didn't know that, and she
eli
was relieved to hear that Sean could get help from her classmate. "That's good. Just hand in your resignation when you're done with that. I'll approve it. When you return to Mediana in a year, if you're still willing to work in my small company, I'll be very happy."
"Okay, thank you, Ms. Raines." Sean's nose twitched, and her eyes turned hot.
Sydney smiled, "Then I'll leave you alone. Get some rest. I'll see you off the day you leave."
"No need, Ms. Raines." Upon hearing that Sydney was going to see her off, Sean was anxious and hurriedly shook her head. "You don't have to see me off. I'll just go by myself." "Why?" Sydney blinked, wondering why Sean refused her.
'Aren't we friends?
'It's reasonable for friends to see each other off, isn't it?'
