Annie Duke Quit Novels & Stories

Since I didn’t want to be fawning over Calder, Duke seemed like a perfect distraction. “Please do. I still dream about those things.” He took a swig of his beer. “So what else is new? Give me the highlight reel.” “Not much. Work, mostly. Trying to figure out my life. The usual mid-life crisis stuff.” “Relatable.” He grinned. “I just quit my job, actually.” My eyes widened. “Wow, what happened?” “Well, my wife was cheating on me with my boss. After I got wind of it, I quit and got a divorce. Now I have my own marketing agency focused on small businesses and nonprofits.”

Alpha Louis took a seat at the table. “I believe Vance arrived home safely. He dropped out of the race,” my father said, sounding a little too excited. I was shocked. For the first few seconds, his words made no sense to me. “Dropped out of the race?” my shock only grew bigger by Alpha Louis’ response. Normally, he'd sound mad that Vance quit, like I was mad,but Alpha Louis sounded surprised. He was clearly unaware of Vance quitting, or leaving the pack house. “I'm here to see Vance,” he said, leaving my father in shock.

Duke later on entrusted his sister to the hands of the werewolves. Few years after that, Duke abdicated the throne and decided to live for himself. He pursued his passion: photography. He traveled and took photographs, making him the highest-earning and the award-winning photographer in the human world. However, four years ago, he forgot all that and stayed in the North to fulfill his role as my only family member left.

His reaction was far too extreme. "Uh, I mean…" Robert quickly forced a smile. "How strange. Selene loves the Duke so much, after all." But Vivian's sharp gaze made him visibly uncomfortable. Vivian crossed her legs, her face etched with a triumphant glow. "Perhaps Selene has finally realized… that the Duke and I are inseparable. She finally knows her place." Dorothy clapped her hands together. "Splendid! That means your path is finally clear." "But the Duke refused to discuss it," Vivian added casually. "He only said Selene was talking nonsense because of her miscarriage."

I remember Valerie trying to do the same before because she doesn’t want to take her examination. I didn’t sit like how they expected when they saw me coming, instead, I stood in front of them while holding the strap of my bag. “Where’s Duke? I didn’t see him when I woke up,” I asked while looking at them. Chairman Myers let go of his fork and knife before he wiped his mouth and stared at me. “He left just an hour ago. Didn’t you know that there was an emergency meeting with his company?” I felt insulted and embarrassed by his question, but I remained looking at him.

"Are you insane? You have a game tomorrow. And you're the captain. Everyone is counting on you!" "Well, maybe Ricky should take over!"After a beat. "Because I'm done, Cortney. I quit hockey!"

You might have feelings for him “You quit?” Annie screeched whether in horror or in shock. I couldn't pinpoint which at this exact moment. I was narrating what transpired between Ryan and i yesterday evening to my friends this morning that prompted me to quit without so much as a glance behind or a reconsideration. “Yes, I did. Also, shouting about it is not going to change the fact that I quit already.” I placed my legs on the center table and tried settling in comfortably.

"I'm quitting," Wade suddenly announced, throwing his colleagues into shock. "What?!" "Why?!" "But you were the best youngest chief here!" "Wade, did something happen at home?" Jenna asked worriedly. "Yes and no. My dad has stage three cancer." "Oh my! That's serious," Jenna exclaimed. "Yeah. We made up. Besides, I have other reasons for quitting." "I see. I respect your decision, man. All the best," Mark patted his arm. "What reasons?"

“You used corporate resources to fund personal matters. You jeopardized contracts, manipulated investors, and made decisions clouded by personal attachment. The vote was unanimous, Duke.” The folder slammed shut. Just like that—years of power, gone. Duke stared at the men before him, then at Celine. For a brief moment, the unbreakable facade cracked. His eyes softened, and beneath that quiet fury was something raw… broken. Celine swallowed hard. “Duke—” “Not here,” he muttered, his tone harsh but shaking faintly. He stood, buttoning his suit with practiced precision, the motion almost too calm for the storm raging in his eyes. He walked past the long table without a word, ignoring the camera

“As you may imagine, Duke was sort of the black sheep of the family. His father was a real hard-ass, who expected his only son to follow in his footsteps. But Duke was far more interested in riding bikes than ropin’ steer, so when his father died, so did the cattle business. Duke never had any intention of being a cattle baron and sold off the remaining heads and most of the equipment days after his father’s funeral. He probably would have sold the whole ranch, if not for the horses; he’s always had a soft spot for horses.” “I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I can sort of see why,” I said, looking over at Hank and Boston. “I just can’t imagine walking away from such a successful bus
