not knowing what you've got until you're about to lose it
Me: Hi D...(speaking to his back)
D: Wassup?
Me: Can we talk for a minute?
D: Oh sure. (turning to me while standing up)
Me: *kinda wave the envelope at him*
We then entered a discussion room...
D: Oh Nooo. Godddd...please don't tell me it is what I think it is.
Me: *with a smile* Yaya, it is what you think it is if you know what it is.
D: NO. I don't wanna open it. Please don't do this to me.
Me: *give him the envelope* Yeah. This is my resignation letter.
D: I don't wanna know what's inside. Not opening it.
Me: *smile*
D: Why? Why now? What's your plan next?
He went on to ask about the new place, new job, new opportunity.
Followed by...
D: Have you signed any offer?
Me: In the process...
D: Could you do me a favour?
Me: ??
D: I beg you to put that offer on hold. Give me a day or two to sort things out. I'll work out something. Do you think you could do that for me?
Me;....Ok~
D: Why don't you have a think about what you wanna do. what you wanna achieve, and how we could make it happen here. I'll keep this for now. I'm not opening it. We'll speak again tomorrow morning. Ok?
Me: Ok
It would be so much easier if he didn't try to retain me.
At least then I'll be so so so sure that I'm making the right move now.
Who knows what is he coming back with tomorrow.
At the back of my head I hoped the counter offer would be a lousy one so as to not feel as guilty as I am right now.
Love-hate relationship is just complicated.
