Leo gave a firm nod, agreeing entirely with Alyna's reasoning.
"Well, we've been colleagues for a while now. We should at least see you off properly," Chunky insisted.
Leo picked up his keys. "Chunky, you can represent the whole company and drive her back."
Alyna tried to decline, but having resigned that afternoon, she was set to leave by evening.
It was impossible to hide a resignation in such a tight-knit office, and the staff all stood up to bid her farewell.
Alyna took the time to explain her departure, ensuring she protected the company's reputation. After that, Chunky took Leo's car and drove her back to Kingsford University.
Meanwhile, Anya had finished work and was waiting outside her office building. She waited and waited, but her boyfriend was nowhere to be found. Her mind immediately started racing. "This doesn't make sense," she muttered to herself. "My Leo is practically unemployed right now. Why isn't he here to pick me up? Could it be..."
Back at the office, Leo's phone rang. "Hey, Anya."
"Did you get so caught up in your game that you forgot you have a girlfriend to pick up?" she demanded, ready to settle the score.
"I didn't forget. Even if I forgot my own name, I wouldn't forget I have a girlfriend waiting for me. Chunky took my car to drop Alyna back at her university."
Anya gasped, biting her lower lip in surprise. "Why is Chunky with Alyna?"
"Alyna resigned."
Anya was stunned into silence.
Eventually, rather than waiting for Leo, Anya caught a ride with her boss, who was heading home.
"Janice!" Anya called out cheerfully.
Janice smiled at her young assistant. "Where's your boyfriend?"
