Chapter 70 - I Did Not Resign!
At the office, Lisa returned to her room. When he opened the door to the president's room, she found two office boys moving things on her desk. Computers, printers, fax machines, telephones, all were lifted from the room. Lisa was surprised to see they move her belongings. As far as she remembered, Lisa never asked anyone to move her things.
"Hey! Where do you want to take my stuff? Why are they all taken out?" Lisa asked, holding back a little angrily.
One of them finally spoke up, "Forgive us Ms. Lisa, the head of HR told us to move your belongings from the president director's room,"
"Yes, the head of HRD said you were resigning from this office this morning, sis," added one of the OB who moved Lisa's belongings.
"What!?"
Lisa thought this must be Oscar's doing! Who else wanted her to stop working and become a housewife if not her husband?
Lisa rushed over to the HR office. Her breathing was unstable, she was holding back a burning anger when she saw all the items in the room removed.
"Good morning sir, I want to ask why my belongings are moved? As far as I know, I did not send a resignation officer," Lisa's thumb pointed towards the exit.
The HRD chief looked at her with a confused look. "Didn't you send the resignation message last night?"
'As I thought, this is Oscar's doing!' She thought to herself.
Lisa took a deep breath. She calmed her mind and the boiling emotions in her chest. The woman took a step towards the head of HR and said, "Sir, it seems there is something wrong. I didn't send you a resignation message at all. Even I just came! No way, someone must have sent that message to the head of HR!"
"Yes, but last night I asked you to submit a formal resignation letter signed on a stamp duty and you said yes. I thought you came here to hand over the letter?" The head of HR asked as he was getting more confused by the situation this morning.
Before Lisa started her explanation, Dani suddenly came with quick steps toward the head of HR. The man carried a folder that Lisa suspected as containing her resignation letter.
"Good morning sir, I was asked by the president director Oscar to come here to submit the resignation letter from Miss Lisa as promised last night!" Dani said politely.
Before the head of HR took the resignation letter, Lisa grabbed the folder that Dani handed and shouted, "Sir, I told you there was a mistake, right? I didn't send any messages about resigning! It's obvious that president Oscar is trying to get me out for no apparent reason!"
"But Miss Lisa, the president issued a letter of resignation for you by himself. I am sure there is something wrong that hinders your work so that you are forced to leave this office," the head of HR said, still confused.
"Sir! If I did make a fatal mistake in this office, I deserve to be fired. The letter submitted to you at this time should not be a resignation letter! What kind of injustice is this? Won't this make people assume that the head of HRD is not smart?" Lisa was sick of the chaos this morning.
"It's enough! Okay, I take it this is a misunderstanding. You may return to your room and your belongings will be returned to their original place," The HRD chief gave up. He was really confused and didn't know what really happened between Lisa and Oscar. Instead of making a fuss, he better cancel it.
"Thank you sir, then I will return to my room. Good morning!" Lisa tore up the resignation letter in front of Dani and the Head of HR. She did not hesitate to show her anger, especially at Dani.
Lisa handed Dani the torn resignation letter and said, "Please, give this to Mr. Oscar! Tell him 'you son of a bitch!'" Lisa turned around and left the HRD room.
***
After resolving the misunderstanding case against her with the head of HR, Lisa returned to work in the president's office as usual. All items that were moved had been returned to their original places.
The woman turned on her computer and got to work. The incident in the HRD room really made her sick to death. Her feelings were still filled with anger. Even when she tore up the resignation letter in front of Dani, the anger in Lisa's heart was like a burning fire doused with oil. Turbulent.
She did her job with an unsettled heart.
When lunch time arrived, Lisa met Andien as usual. She emotionally told her about the madness in the HRD room. Andien could only nod, shake her head, and listen to her best friend's complaints.
"So you're still working here, right Lis?" Andien asked convincingly. She leaned her back against the chair.
"Yes, luckily the matter's settled. But seriously Ndien, I really hate my husband! How come he sent my resignation letter so that I don't work here anymore and just stay at home to be a housewife?!" Lisa shook her head.
"But your husband spoils you, right? Isn't it good to just stay at home with no work but your bank balance keeps filling up every month!?" Andien laughed.
"Do you really think I want to be that kind person? I have a family that I have to support, Ndien! How come I forget them?"
"Yes, but why don't you just ask your husband? Didn't he already offer a marriage to help with your financial matters from the beginning?"
Lisa didn't expect her best friend to react like this. "I don't want to depend on my husband Ndien! You really… Instead of supporting me to be independent, you support my husband!"
"Yes, just be realistic, Lis. Your husband really spoils you and you will soon be a mother! If you work, who will take care of your baby? I swear if I were you I better resign and become a housewife, Lis!"
"Ndien, you don't know anything about my life and Oscar! So don't tell me carelessly if I have to follow my husband's wishes to be a housewife! You literally don't know anything!"
"Well, don't be angry, the heck!? You're not like usual, Lis," Andien asked, confused.
Lisa was annoyed by her best friend's response. She did not want to discuss her life with Oscar further. Andien didn't know the fact that Clara, Oscar's ex-girlfriend, had approached her and told her to divorce. Not to mention that Lisa suspected Oscar was having an affair with his ex. Lisa didn't know what else to do except to keep working when Oscar divorced her.
She didn't want her mother and sister to be neglected and live a miserable life.
