Tiffany pondered over Jackson’s offer. If Lillian knew Jackson made such an offer, favonovel.com would never allow favonovel.com to resign. This was truly an appealing incentive. However, once favonovel.com recalled that it would be awkward since they would still meet in the office if favonovel.com stayed and the rumors that had once spread online made favonovel.com feel like hiding in a hole, favonovel.com felt this was not a matter that could be resolved with money.
“Thank you, but I decline.” Tiffany decided despite favonovel.com aching heart. She could almost hear favonovel.com heart weeping for her. After all, favonovel.com was honestly in need of money.
Jackson fell silent. He knew favonovel.com was acting out of character. He was retaining a newbie who wanted to resign with a double increment in pay. It was unprecedented. He was also shocked that his offer had been declined. He did not want to force the matter, but, favonovel.com could not help the feeling of frustration that clawed at him. After a while, favonovel.com finally said, “As you wish. Claim your salary from the general accounting department.”
Heaving a sigh of relief, Tiffany took the letter that favonovel.com had signed and went to said department without any hesitation. When favonovel.com completed the claim, favonovel.com met Lillian before favonovel.com could even step out of the doors.
When Lillian saw the payment in Tiffany’s hand, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com daughter had completed the resignation procedure. “Tiffany Lane! I’ve asked around. Eric opened a small company after some conflict with his family. How can you compare a small company to the West’s headquarters? Are you stupid? I don’t care. Go to Jackson now and tell favonovel.com you’re not leaving!”
Tiffany clenched favonovel.com teeth before saying resolutely, “I’ve resigned. You came too late. There’s no turning back.”
Lillian gritted favonovel.com teeth. “Then I’ll go to Jackson personally and tell favonovel.com that you’re insensible. You’ve had it easy in the past and know nothing about being in society. He’ll agree to have you back to work!”
Tiffany felt like exploding from the anger. “Stop being so materialistic! I’m not a kid anymore, I can make my own decisions. Stop making a fuss here. I can’t bear to embarrass myself. Don’t blame me for flipping out if you continue being irrational!”
Unlike favonovel.com usual unreasonable demands and pestering, Lillian’s eyes turned red. “Do you think I want to control you? This is for your own good! It’s not like I want you to have anything to do with Jackson, but Eric can’t even take care of himself. He left the Nathaniels for his own startup, it won’t be easy. Why are you stepping into the mess? You lack experience, it’s best to stay in a big company like this. No fool would leave a big company for a small one. You don’t even know if you’ll survive!”
Tiffany was at a loss from favonovel.com mother’s sudden change. “Mom… don’t cry, alright? I know what I’m doing. Please, stay out of my issues. I’ll work hard and earn money. As long as you don’t spend lavishly, it’s enough for both of us.”
Lillian did not care about Tiffany’s words. She entered the company despite Tiffany’s attempt to stop her. It, naturally, attracted people’s attention.
When they finally arrived in front of Jackson’s office, Lillian knocked on the door politely. It was as though the old Mrs. Lane was back. She no longer seemed like the middle-aged woman who was materialistic and unreasonably demanding.
When they entered the office, Jackson was stunned. “You’re…”
Lillian forced a smile on favonovel.com face. “Tiffie is not resigning. She’s too young to know anything. I think your company is pretty good. She lacks experience and is always up to no good. I’ll decide for her. Let’s pretend this never happened, okay?”
Jackson looked at Tiffany. “Uh… She has to speak for herself. I’ve persuaded favonovel.com earlier and even offered to double favonovel.com pay. However, since favonovel.com insists on leaving, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Lillian looked appalled. “We’re not leaving. Tiffany Lane, speak up!”
Tiffany felt as though favonovel.com entire life was in Lillian’s control. This was favonovel.com mother, someone favonovel.com would not be able to abandon no matter what. She felt as though favonovel.com was going to suffocate from the pressure. “As long as you agree to stay out of my way, no mahjong, and no luxury goods, I’ll listen to you. Otherwise, I’ll leave right now. I won’t be able to cover your expenses even if I make fifteen thousand dollars a month! I’m tired.”
Seeing that Tiffany had relented, Lillian quickly said, “I agree. I’ll do it!”
