Our favorite place (Book 1 and 2)

Kinse

"Here you go." Deanna put the printed pictures of our proposal and plan on Daisy's table the following morning.

"Wow, I'm impressed. I thought you'd think about it for a week. But you're willing to jeopardize your friendship with Bea for the company." Faith said.

"I'm done. Okay? No more. I'm out. And I'm not doing it for the company. Or you. I'm doing it for myself. Okay? So I'm... finished."

"Oh, no. You are not done. Not by a long shot. We started it. Now we're finishing it."

"No Faith. I'm done. I almost got caught by her. So, no more." She raised her hands in defeat. "I quit. I'm rendering my resignation."

Faith looked at her as if she's reading her and looking for a way to make her stay. If she let Deanna quit, she can't use her anymore. And she'll loose.

Deanna put out a paper on her table. 'Resignation Letter.'

"No. I'm not signing that." Faith said.

Deanna was surprised. "You can't do that."

"I don't care. I'm not letting you go."

"Why do you have to play dirty, huh? What? You know you can't win against Bea head to head?"

She smirked. "She's playing her "kababayan" card on Mr. Roger. I'm playing her best friend."

Deanna gritted her teeth. She's getting angry.

"You see Deanna, I'm willing to do everything just to get this client. Architecture Monthly ranks companies using success rate. They don't care about the accumulated profit of a company. For example, Bea offered them 50 million dollars. I can offer them 10 million, just to have them on our side. And it will make us stay number 1."

Deanna shook her head no in disbelief. "You don't care about your employees, you care about the company. What happened to your little speech? 'We are all a Faith here, we are a family'? That's bullshit."

Faith smirked. "I know. And I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. You hurt mine, too." She looked at the printed papers. "Now get out. I need to study this proposal."

She crumpled Deanna's resignation and threw it on the trash can.

"I'm not coming in tomorrow. I quit." Deanna said and left the room.

Faith from afar and think of something that she can do. She pushed her intercom for her secretary. "Ana, do you remember the lunch meeting that I kept moving cause I'm busy?"

"Ah yes maam. That's for Dra. Jema Galanza."

"Yeah. Can you move it to today? I need to talk to her."

"Right away maam."

On the other room. Deana inhaled all the strength that she can get to talk to Daisy.

"Daisy?" Deanna peaked her head after knocking and opening her door. Daisy was buried on paperwork and her laptop, but the moment that she saw her friend, she put it all aside.

"Deanna, come in."

"I uh.. I won't be coming in for work tomorrow."

"Oh, why? Are you feeling okay?"

"Ah.. yes." Deanna knitted her forehead. "Uhm, no. Uhm, I just rendered my resignation. I'm sorry."

"Oh God why?"
