Chapter 160
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 160<\/p>\n
A printed anonymous letter sat on the solid wood coffee table in front of Nestor.<\/p>\n
It had been sent to the company’s main email and got straight to the point. The sender wanted Bonnie from Cabinda School of Architecture and Design fired, calling her a homewrecker with no morals.<\/p>\n
Bonnie’s fingers tightened around the paper. \u201cNestor, this isn\u2019t true. Someone\u2019s been harassing me nonstop. I\u2019ve already reported it to the police. It\u2019s just someone out for revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nestor gently took the letter from her, walked over to the shredder, and fed the pages through. \u201cI\u2019ve already explained the situation to management. They\u2019re not going to listen to rumors from outside. But Bonnie, it\u2019s not just this. Lately, people have been sending in reports about us\u2014accusing the firm of bid rigging, tax evasion, and using pirated software. None of it comes with real evidence. Nothing\u2019s really stuck, but it\u2019s still something we have to be careful about. Your personal stuff can\u2019t be allowed to cause problems for the company, understand?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie closed her eyes for a moment. She wanted to tell him she was doing her best, that she never meant for any of this to happen, but the words caught in her throat. Suddenly, she remembered the little confirmation message that said she\u2019d successfully registered for the grad school entrance exam. Right then, Bonnie made up her mind.<\/p>\n
All the chaos lately had left her too unsettled to study. At work, she was distracted and nervous, never fully focused. Instead of splitting her time and energy between work and studying, maybe it was smarter to take the next two months and give the exam her all. Her chances would be so much better that way.<\/p>\n
And if she stuck around, her problems might hurt the company, or worse, start rumors that spread even further. If she left now, there\u2019d be less damage.<\/p>\n
Bonnie straightened up and met Nestor\u2019s eyes, her voice steadier than she expected. \u201cNestor, I know things have been a mess lately and I appreciate you letting me know, but I\u2019ve actually had a change of plans. I want to resign so I can prepare for grad school full-time.\u201d<\/p>\n
For a moment, Nestor seemed surprised. \u201cI wasn\u2019t telling you this just so you\u2019d quit. If you need help, you can come to the company. Don\u2019t make a snap decision. It\u2019s hard to find a good job these days, and the market is rough. Leaving like this might be too rushed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie had always liked the peace of working there. But deep down, she knew it really was time to go. Something told her even bigger storms were coming, ones she just wasn\u2019t ready to face.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t want to risk causing more hassle or dragging her team into any more trouble. Leaving now was the best way to solve things once and for all. Maybe then, her life could finally clear up and let some light in.<\/p>\n
Back at her workstation, Bonnie noticed a few colleagues had already left. Helen, as usual, had wasted no time\u2014on Fridays she was either off to see Ned for a date or joining him for dinner with one of their families.<\/p>\n
Bonnie powered down her computer and sent Helen a quick message: I\u2019m resigning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-828","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
