Vernon flipped through those files, and his expression darkened even further. Finally, he looked up at me with a disdainful smirk.
“Avril, I thought you already turned over a new leaf yesterday, and you won’t throw tantrums anymore. Now, you’re back to your usual self?” With that, Vernon threw the files toward me, aiming for my face.
I stood aside and managed to dodge the files. Then, I crouched on the floor and began picking up what Vernon had thrown to the floor.
Vernon explained, “All Peggy did was take your chance for a promotion. Besides, she and I studied the same major.
“I have full confidence in her abilities, and that’s why I made her Technical Director. You’re still working at an entry-level position after five years. There’s no need to be this angry!”
I stacked the files together before setting them on Vernon’s desk. I said calmly, “I’m not angry. All I want is to resign.”
Peggy and Vernon studied the same major, and he claimed that he knew her abilities very well. But what about me?
I studied jewelry design during college. Later, I ended up pursuing a second degree for Vernon and worked very hard day and night so I could catch up with him.
In the end, all my efforts were worthless to him.
Vernon shot me a condescending glare. “Don’t you know how useless you are? I’ve already transferred you to work under Peggy. In the future, watch and learn from her.”
I smiled. “My time is precious too. I won’t ever work on anything I’m not interested in.”
“Fine! Then, leave! Let’s see which company would even want to hire you!” With that, Vernon got up from his office chair and looked at me, his gaze filled with malice.
I turned to leave his office.
Vernon and I had been together for six years, which were all for nothing. But in the future, my world would never revolve around him anymore.
After all, he expected me to look up to Peggy.
