Resignation

Jade followed Mrs Lin into her office, she could feel her heart racing again as fear and anxiety slowly enveloped her. The woman's silence and the way she was staring at her made her really uncomfortable. She stood in front of the huge mahogany desk with her head lowered, anxiously waiting to hear why she has been called.

"I know you must be wondering why I've called you to my office, and I'm also wondering why I've done the same when I could have said what I wanted to say in that board room earlier, but I chose not to. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt that the information that have reached me isn't entirely true" Mrs Lin said in a cold and expressionless tone.

Jade slowly raised her gaze to her. Now she was more scared.

"What information ma?" Jade asked in low tone, one that was obviously filled with worry.

Mrs Tracy drew out a drawer from her desk and pulled out a medium size brown envelope.
