Chapter 150

Calen’s expression changed. “What?”

Izzy tilted her head slightly. “What will you do if I refuse?”

Calen blinked, clearly caught off guard.

Izzy took a step closer, arms crossed. “Are you going to fire me?”

Calen’s mouth opened, then closed. He looked momentarily lost for words.

Inwardly, he was reeling.

He hadn’t expected her to ask that.

For years, Izzy had always done what was required of her. When he handed her projects, she handled them. When he pushed deadlines, she met them. When he demanded late hours, she stayed. Even when he assigned tasks outside her scope, she completed them.

Macau was no different. If anything, this was the biggest project she had ever taken on, which was why he had assumed she would act the same way she always had–doing everything he asked, ensuring things ran smoothly, and working past exhaustion if necessary.

But now…

Izzy didn’t wait for a response. “If you have an issue with this, you can take it up with HR.”

Calen’s jaw tensed, but he still said nothing.

Izzy turned to Anna. “Prepare my things. We’re leaving.”

Anna nodded immediately, not questioning her. She moved efficiently, gathering Izzy’s belongings while Izzy remained completely composed.

Calen finally snapped out of his silence. “When are you going to finish this, then?”

Izzy picked up the USB she had just handed him and tapped it lightly against the stack of documents. “I already did everything necessary for a smooth transition. The rest…” She placed the USB back down. “That’s for the new project leader to handle.”

Calen narrowed his eyes. “You’re doing this on purpose.”

Izzy raised an eyebrow. “Doing what?”

“Spiting me.” Calen’s tone was sharp.

Izzy’s lips curled into a small, unreadable smile. “I’m only doing my job based on the contract I signed.”

Calen’s hands clenched into fists.
