"here is my notice," niko said as she slid a piece of paper across suho's desk. "i'm quitting."
she watched as he blanched, and as he leaned forward and began to speak, she placed something else in front of him. "and here are all the songs i've written for their comeback. pick and choose what you want, but i am expecting full credit."
suho grabbed the notebook with a nervous chuckle. "is there anything i can offer to keep you with our company? extra pay? more vacation days?"
"there is nothing." niko stated, her jaw set in determination. "my mind is made up."
with a slow, unsteady breath, suho nodded. "i understand. on behalf of my entertainment and artists, i apologize for how you've been treated."
niko's lip quirked slightly. "i appreciate that. thank you."
there was a bit of paperwork she had to fill out, but once finished, niko bid her boss a farewell. she'd offered to continue working for two weeks, but suho didn't see the point since she'd already handed him everything he needed to finalize vybe's comeback.
checking the time on her phone, niko smiled when she saw that it was nearly noon.
as she reached the first floor, niko saw the two women she'd been hoping to stumble upon behind the front desk, the taller one with longer hair pulling a bag over her shoulder as she followed a pretty noirette.
it didn't take long for them to spot niko as she approached, and the smaller of the two lit up when she did. "niko! hi, we were just about to leave for lunch if you want to join us!"
with a nod, niko followed eunbin and ami as they made their way to the former's car. niko couldn't help but gape the second she climbed in. "woah, i've never been in a convertible before..."
eunbin smiled at her through the rearview mirror, "want the top down?"
"yes, please."
the trio drove around, listening to music on the radio as they decided where they wanted to go for lunch. after a few minutes, they pulled into a cute sandwich shop and eunbin closed the top of the convertible.
"ami and i used to come here a lot when we were just starting," the short girl explained as ami led the way into the shop. "they closed for a bit due to redecorating, but it's back and you have to try it!"
niko smiled as she let the two girls lead her around. they had such bubbly personalities, but niko could tell they were genuine. she sensed that eunbin wasn't one to allow herself to get walked all over, and she found that very admirable.
when all three received their food and found a spot to eat, niko broke the news. ami's hand froze over her chips as she stared at her new friend. "you're quitting? is it because of what's happening online? because hr should be taking care of—"
