Tender My Resignation Novels & Stories

“I know it sounds strange but I’ve been thinking about it for months now. And I’m also here to reconcile with you. I’m tired of the tension always hanging over our heads and the unspoken words. I’m sorry for ever getting in your way or starting a fight with you. It was immature of me and I still regret it every day. Please, find it in your heart to forgive me, and let’s move on as cousins because it seems we’re enemies barely tolerating each other’s presence,” Ryan blinked a few times just to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating. “And regarding my resignation, I haven’t found a place yet but I just want you to keep it in mind and maybe start finding a replacement so it wouldn’t be sudden when I

I'm not just a fixture. "Alright, hija. Thank you for your service," she said and gave me a sad smile. "But if you change your mind, come back. You know my number and I'll welcome you back when that happens." That was the last thing Ma'am Tea said before she approved my resignation letter. Mostly because the approval will take weeks but for me it was easy because I begged. "Gagi! I can't believe it. Why?" Minda asked me as I put my things on the table.

I said my voice thick with emotion. Damien hugged me again. “Don’t cry now. You know you can come visit anytime. This isn’t the end, alright?” I nodded, blinking away the tears. “Alright. I’m not going to cry.” “Good. I accept your resignation, and I wish you good luck. It’s been great working with you.” “Yes, you too.” We hugged one last time, before we separated. Then I stepped out of his office, closing his door, knowing that I was also closing a major chapter of my life. And moving on to the next.

I declared, handing him the letter. His expression shifted from cheerful to shocked, a frown crossing his features. “What are you talking about?” “I’m resigning. I thought I’d make it clear that I won’t be back,” I said, trying to remain steady despite the weakness in my limbs. “Thank you for the opportunity to learn and to be humiliated.” “Wait a second,” he said, his brows furrowing deeper. “Rochelle, you can’t be serious.” “I am.” I took a deep breath. “I can’t continue working here after everything that’s happened, and I don’t want to fight through this mess any longer.”

For ten years, I had always complied, always retreated, always let him save face. But not today. I met his gaze calmly, my voice carrying across the entire office. "Zachary, no need to rack your brain trying to force me out. I'm resigning. I don't want any compensation. I just want it done as fast as possible."

I entered with a folder in my hand and replied, "There's no need to shout, Mr. Gray." Richard said anxiously, "Eva, have a look and see what's going on. Solve this quickly!" I waved my hands and said innocently, "Mr. Gray, I'm afraid I can't. I just finished the resignation process. I'm no longer an employee of the company."

My heart was beating so fast like it was running in a marathon. "Did Augustus tell you something-" "Don't touch me," I grittily said and pushed his hand away from me. He was surprised by the way I act. He stood up there while watching me. I print out the resignation letter in front of him and put it over the table. "Millijay-" "I want to resign...effective today,"

The Human Resources department was a sterile, brightly lit maze of cubicles. Hazel walked directly up to the main reception desk. The HR coordinator looked up from her computer. "Good morning," Hazel said smoothly, though her heart was hammering a dull rhythm. "I am Hazel Evans. Senior Data Analyst. I am here to submit my resignation." The coordinator frowned, pulling up a file on her computer. "Resignation? Ms. Evans, this is very sudden." "I have my reasons," Hazel said, her voice entirely devoid of warmth. She reached into her pocket, pulled out her plastic Vanguard access card, and dropped it onto the desk with a sharp clack.

Or a bullet. “You can rewrite the resignation letter now, Ms. Carlisle,” he says. Formal. Like I’m just another name on a payroll. “And it should be submitted to HR this time. It’s already approved by me.” My breath leaves me like he’s punched it out. I blink. Once. Twice. Just to make sure I’m awake. Alive. Not hallucinating this moment where Ezra Harrington—the man who touched me like I was made of glass and fire—just told me to submit my resignation like I’m a temporary inconvenience.

“That public sympathy will follow you?” “I don’t want sympathy,” I said. “I want out.” I slid the envelope across his desk. My formal resignation. Short. Clean. Irrevocable. He didn’t open it. “You’ll regret this,” he said. “Maybe,” I replied. “But at least the regret will be mine.” I turned to leave. “Liana,” Marcus added coolly. “This profession is small.
