Kate still kept a cold face as she gave the order. Her thinking was simple: make me transfer all the projects to Nolan.
That way she could curry favor with Director Jennings on the board.
"Fine, I can hand them to Nolan, but whether he can succeed is another matter."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard her lift her head and snicker.
"Ian, you really take the platform for ability?"
"You really think you got to the assistant supervisor position because of yourself?"
"Without the company, what are you, anyway?"
I guessed she would say this. This was also her usual PUA tactic.
After the New Year's holiday ended, Kate held a meeting.
She gathered all the employees in our department to personally witness me handing off my work.
Nolan was there too, slouching as he propped his legs up on the table.
"Fox, I heard you're leaving?"
"It's just staying behind to cover a shift. It's not like they're not paying you overtime."
"If it were me, I'd definitely have more perspective than you."
That word "perspective" sounded a little ridiculous.
I'd worked diligently at the company for six years; I had both credit and hard work.
Just because I ran into Kate, I couldn't even get promoted to manager.
