The day passed quickly with the flurry of important preparations, and soon the workday was coming to an end.
The moment Natalie closed her laptop, signaling she was ready to leave, Nora spoke up hesitantly. "Ms. Natalie?"
Natalie turned to her and immediately noticed the nervousness etched across Nora's face. "Hmm?"
Nora fidgeted, her unease growing under Natalie's calm but piercing gaze. "I... I have something to tell you…"
Natalie glanced at her watch. "If it's not urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Nora swallowed hard, her hands trembling slightly. "I… need to tell you today. It's important."
Natalie waited, giving her the time to gather her words. Finally, Nora pulled something from her file and handed it to her—a white envelope.
"I… am resigning," Nora said, her voice shaky.
Natalie took the envelope but didn't open it. She simply raised an eyebrow, silently waiting for an explanation.
