Chapter 113
“ In the 15 years I’ve been in this company , lord knows the amazing memories I’ve made . I’ve had the pleasure of watching many of you climb the ladder of success within Cooper & Co. I’ve made some great friends and added many of you to what I would call my family . However , today , with the heaviest heart , have handed in my resignation Effective immediately . ” Gasps and no’s echoed throught the room . The look of confusion and shock on every face .
“ After I leave today , you all will hear many rumors about my sudden departure . However , the truth is that since I had dedicated a lot of my time to work , that dedication to this company has affected my marriage and my relationship with my children . So now , I think it’s time I let go of this company and repair the broken relationships I’ve got at home . I want to take this time to thank you all for making my 15 years here so memorable , and I wish you all nothing but the best in the future . ” His voice was cracking slightly . Moisture forming around his eyes .
“ Blake , thank you for everything Mr. Cooper and you and done for me . As you embark on a new journey in life , I wish you nothing but the best and happy married life ” Patrick’s eyes flickered to me . He smiled and gave me a quick nod . I swallowed the lump forming in my throat .
“ That was all everyone . I’ll hand it over to Blake now ” he picked up his folder and walked to the back of the roots .
“ Thank you , Patrick . We wish you the very best for your future endeavors as well . If anyone here has any questions about this , please come and see me directly . I don’t want to hear any ridiculous gossips circulating about this great man’s departure . Patrick is aware that once he has sorted his life out and wants to rejoin the company , we will always open our arms and welcome him back . So please help him with this transition . ” He gave everyone a stern look before pulling out a small folder from his stack of folders .
“ Moving on to other things . I want to introduce you all to Greg Mason . Greg is the Sales and Marketing Manager over at our Bakers Field branch . They have had some issues , so Mr. Cooper has requested that Greg come over and visit us . Mr. Cooper is hoping Greg will learn a few things from our Sales and Marketing team and us . He will be shadowing Rosy for the next few weeks so he can see how she runs her department and hopefully help Greg sort out the issues they are having ” Blake slid the folder across the table , and it stopped in front of me .
He said , what now ?? Shadowing me ? When did I say yes to that ?!
“ Rosy , Mr. Cooper has sent you some information . He has given explicit details on what are some of the things he wants Greg to achieve from his visit he didn’t look at me directly .
He knew I’d be pissed about this . I didn’t like interference in my job , and Greg was a huge hurdle . I clenched my jaws and narrowed my eyes at Blake .
“ And if I refuse to ? ” I asked . All eyes turned to me .
“ Then it will be something you’ll have to take up with Mr. Cooper himself . ” He finally looked at me . Annoyance clear in his eyes . I was challenging his authority , and he didn’t like it .
“ I’ll be sure to do that , thank you ” my eyes flickered to Greg , who was staring at me with his eyebrow raised . I turned my attention down to the file in front of me . Assholes could have just asked me if I was okay with this , but no , let’s just push her around because she’s a relative now .
I cursed under my breath , anger bubbling inside me . I opened the folder to find an email on top of all the other papers . I picked it up and read it .
“ My Dearest Rosalie ,
I hope this email finds you well and happy .
Congratulations on the marking , by the way . You are officially part of the Cooper family now . I am so proud of Blake and you .
