Nathan shot a sharp, incredulous glance at Hayden. "What does this have to do with me?"

Hayden replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it has to do with you. I didn't mention leaving because I was worried about leaving you all alone at X Bureau. But since you're not into this job either, let's stop wasting time. Come on, let's write our resignation letters and get out of here. I can't take another day of this!"

The afternoon sunlight streamed into the office just as Courtney walked in, holding a stack of documents. She overheard Hayden's bold declaration and raised an eyebrow, her gaze playful as she approached him.

"Oh? Our resident Husky doesn't want to work anymore?" Courtney teased. "Mr. Shaw was just praising you yesterday, saying you're creative. Don't give up so easily."

"Get lost," Hayden snapped, clearly irritated by the nickname. "Don't call me that, or we're done being friends."

Courtney leaned over, noticing his fingers flying across the keyboard. Her eyes caught the bold title on the screen: Resignation Letter. She blinked in surprise, giving Hayden a curious look. "You're serious about quitting?"

"Of course!" Hayden declared, more determined than ever. For once, he wasn't joking around. By the end of the afternoon, he had finished his resignation letter. Nathan, impressed by the effort, copied and pasted it for himself, and the two sent their letters to Linden's email.

Meanwhile, Courtney was in Jason's office.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me? Nathan and Hayden are planning to join Mr. Farrell and his wife. What's your take on this?" she asked.
