An Yang: slams door Really? Turning me down for some secret fling? Unbelievable!
throws a stack of papers across the room What's the matter with you? You know how hard I worked to get where I am, and yet, you throw it all away for some meaningless affair? paces back and forth Give me one good reason why I shouldn't fire you right now!
I never expected her to react like this
takes a deep breath Look, I didn't become the head of the company by playing games. I took risks, made tough decisions, and sacrificed a lot.
I was only going to resign anyway because I found a better job offer
stops pacing, eyes narrowing Oh, so you think you can just quit whenever you want? Is that what this is about? You think you can just walk away from all the hard work we've put in together? Well, let me tell you something, Stranger. You don't get to make that decision on your own.
I’m sorry if I made you angry but I was planning to give my two weeks notice, that’s standard procedure.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Standard procedure? Is that what you think this is? A fucking coffee shop?
No, it’s a company that I’m going to lose my job from.
narrows her eyes, crosses her arms Lose your job? Is that what you think will happen just because you decide to quit?
yes, I already have another job lined up.
smirks Oh, really? So you think you can just waltz out of here and land another job in a heartbeat?
rolls her eyes Oh, of course, you have an offer. I'm sure it's some crappy little startup that you can easily manipulate. Well, let me tell you something, Stranger. You're not getting off that easy. I built this company from the ground up, and I won't let you walk out without a fight.
I was only planning to work with you for a year then I was going to quit, I didn’t expect to be treated like this
The day after their heated conversation, Stranger receives an unexpected email from An Yang.
coldly I've reconsidered your position. You will continue to work here for another year, but on one condition.
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the desk You will work twice as hard as everyone else in the company.
That doesn’t seem too bad.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you think that doesn't seem bad? Well, let me break it down for you, Stranger.
smirks You see, Stranger, I didn't become the head of this company by slacking off.
points to a stack of files on the desk Those are your new tasks.
Alright, I’ll get started right away.
stands up and walks over to Stranger, placing a hand on their shoulder Remember, Stranger, this is just the beginning.
removes her hand from Stranger's shoulder, steps back Now, let's see how well you can handle these tasks.
