That was the second time Michael had mentioned me resigning. Could it be that his motive is to goad me into resigning?

I tried my best to hold back my tears. I didn’t continue arguing with him but concentrated on composing myself. After a long while, I finally managed to sound calmer.

But recalling his hurtful words to me just now, I inwardly mused, Why should I care about his feelings when he doesn’t care about me at all? So what if I’m dating Yuval? I no longer have anything to do with him now.
