I stood up. "Mr. Henson, now that you've signed, I'm officially no longer an employee of this company."
"I'll pack my things and be out of here."
Victor looked at me, frowning. "Layla, I have no problem with you leaving. But I'm having security escort you out."
"You are not to take any company property with you."
The words had barely left his mouth before Sybilla chimed in. "Exactly, Layla. Who knows if you'd try to leak company secrets?"
I looked at the two of them and shook my head.
Victor was my classmate. I still remembered how it was back when he first started his company. Nobody knew how to operate that precision instrument.
He came to my house multiple times, practically begging me to come work for him.
Later, as the company found its footing, he even promised me profit shares and equity once the business took off.
Back then, I felt for him. I knew how hard he had it, and I went out of my way to look out for him at every turn.
But as the company grew, Victor decided my salary was too high.
Especially after Sybilla joined. His attitude toward me took a nosedive.
I understood now. He thought Sybilla was younger and cheaper.
He'd been looking for an excuse to get rid of me for a long time.
