For The Best

The walk out of Haven Group headquarters felt unreal. Emily kept expecting herself to turn back at any second, tell Derek that she was joking, and then on Monday, come back and they would both laugh about the whole thing.

But she did not do that, instead, she just kept walking. All around her, people who were now her former co-workers moved about. Some of them knocking off. There were a few waves, a few nods in her direction, but no one really paid much attention to her.

She did not have any friends there, no one really did. But she did not try to fake it. So none of them knew that it would be the last time that they were seeing her working at the company and for that Emily was glad. She would not have been able to take the crocodile tears while it was clear that they were all cheering behind her back.
