This Time Hurts

Somehow, Emily had made it through the first week of being unemployed without incident. Her mother had still not caught on yet, and by some miracle, she had not missed any calls from Haven Group, or had them go old school on her and send a letter with regards to her resignation. A letter that could have very well ended up in her mother's hands since the older woman was the one who regularly checked the mail.

In fact, there was absolutely nothing from Haven Group's end regarding her resignation. It was suspicious. Were they trying to rob her of her benefits?

She'd heard of other big companies doing that. But under Derek's rule she had never seen, nor heard of it. What if he was the one standing in the way, withholding her benefits as a way of punishing her for daring to leave?
