He signed the letter and handed it to me, but when I tried to take it, he didn't let go.
I looked at him with a puzzled expression, and only then did he release his grip.
He asked, "Did you come to the office just to get me to sign this?"
I replied, "Yes."
The HR manager didn't dare accept my resignation letter, insisting that Connor had to agree first.
I submitted the resignation letter to the HR department.
The HR manager was shocked when he saw Connor's signature.
He looked at me with sympathy.
"Did Connor break up with you?" he asked.
Before I could respond, Connor appeared behind me.
He said unhappily "Break up? She's just going home to rest."
The HR manager immediately shrank back, smiling awkwardly.
"Wait for me tonight. We'll leave together," Connor told me.
Then he walked away.
The HR manager relaxed and patted his chest.
He said, "Ms. Stevens is always so unpredictable.
"But it's good that you didn't break up. After all, you've been together for eight years. It's not worth it for a minor assistant."
I smiled but didn't respond, only saying that I would treat him to dinner in a couple of days.
