Like always he turned out to be a moron.
She absolutely despised him.
She wanted to escape this place, as soon as possible.
Rachel took a deep breath to calm down. She couldn't believe how lecherous
he could be.
She read the lines, in front, repeatedly… she had written and read
them many times over last few days…
But she knew she had to do it now. She pressed the send button
before she could change her mind.
The appraisal meeting with
her boss didn't go well… she never expected it to be…
She was tired of his advances… Rachel knew he will twist
everything to make her vulnerable.
Now with the resignation mail sent, she felt little better…more so
because she had also remembered to mark the mail to the HR head, Director, Vice
President and the CEO… Rachel made sure people knew why she was resigning.
