GoodReadChapter 113 Chapter 113 "Your resignation is invalid," Wayne's words were commanding.
I knew he could make that happen if he wanted. Even if he couldn't, he could just get Matthew to overrule Jace. But that wasn't what I wanted.
So, I decided to shut that down. "Jace already signed off on it." Jace was the one running RiverwaveCorp now, not Wayne.
There was silence on the other end. After a few seconds, Wayne asked, "Where are you?" Only Lena and Hayden knew where I'd moved, but Wayne had a way of figuring things out. He was the kind of guy who remembered every detail, so he might even guess where I was.
But I wasn't about to tell him. "I've been all about the amusement park for the last two years. Please help wrap up the last bits." "Rea..." "Wayne, don't. Just don't." I hung up and turned back to the oat porridge bubbling away in the pot. It smelled pretty good.

I sat down with my laptop, spooning oat porridge while sending out job applications.
With my experience at RiverwaveCorp, I knew I could land a decent gig. At least, I was pretty sure I could By the tI finished sending out résumés, the oat porridge was gone, but my neighbor across the hall was still making a ton of noise moving in.
That whole thing about wanting to sleep after you eat? It was true. I crashed on the couch, silenced my phone, and just passed out.
I slept for hours. When I finally woke up, it was so quiet outside it felt almost creepy, like I'd woken up in a different world.
I sat there in a daze, then grabbed my phone to check the time. It was just after 3 PM.
It wasn't even that late, but tfelt like it was dragging.
Usually, when I was busy, tflew by. This slower pace was totally throwingoff.
There were a bunch of missed calls on my phone. A few from Demi, sfrom Lindey, and one from a random number that had called three times.
I was just glad there were no calls from Hayden. If he hadn't called, it meant work was going fine.
But I still called Demi back. She picked up right away. "Keira, why didn't you answer your phone?" "What's up?" My voice was still a little groggy.
Demi got it immediately. "Did you seriously ditch us to take a nap?" Chapter 113 +25 BONUS "Yep, nothing else to do, so yeah, I went to sleep," I said, not even trying to hide it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDemi groaned, "Keira, you have to cback. I can't do this on my own." She was talking quietly, which meant she was trying to keep Hayden from hearing.
I asked, "Why? Is Mr. Hart giving you a hard time?"
"Not exactly, but I can't keep up with him. He's so annoyed, givingthat look like I'm an idiot. It's killing my self-esteem, "Demi's complaints madelaugh. When I finally stopped laughing, I tried to reassure her. "Hey, I trained you, right? If he thinks you're an idiot, he's underestimating me, and I'll handle it." "And how exactly do you plan to handle me?" A different voice suddenly cthrough the phone, catchingoff guard.
After a super awkward pause, I managed to recover. "Mr. Hart, Ms. Young just needs stto adjust. Maybe try a little patience?" Hayden didn't respond right away, so I added, "Is there something you need?".
"During today's testing, we hit ssnags. Ms. Young isn't familiar with them, so we need your help," Hayden ve Hayden's words totally caughtoff guard. I replied frankly, "I've resigned. This isn't my job anymore."
"But didn't you say you wanted to see it through to the end?" Hayden'sm comeback left mel speechless. After a few seconds, I sighed. "Fine, I'll cby later." Chapter 114
