When I was sure I could get the position, I invited him to dinner on this basis. He even addressed me as "Deputy Manager" jokingly.
He must have been aware of my eagerness for that position.
I didn't have to think too much to know that he was punishing me.
But he didn't know that the competing company had long extended an offer to me.
And the validity period was permanent.
Since I couldn't stay here any longer, I had to find another way.
After the welcome, I immediately contacted Kane Lynch, the vice president of that company, explaining my circumstances.
I thought he would wait until my term was over before recruiting me.
But to my surprise, he was willing to cover the liquidated damages and invited me to start the following Monday.
I worked in the marketing department for four years, and many of the Turner Group's outstanding collaborations were achieved through my efforts at social events.
So I had a lot of resources at my disposal.
The competing company noticed this, willing to spend a huge sum of money to poach me.
I didn't agree immediately, but asked him to give me two days to think about it.
I had to plan for the future and not make blind choices anymore.
