One Hundred and Ninety-Seven Votes

Summary

Out of the 203 people in the company, 197 voted for me.

It was the exact same number as last year.

Last year, Mr. Vance called me into his office.

"Chloe, Liam’s family is going through a tough financial patch. Could you take the high road and let him have this spot?"

I let him have it.

This year, the moment the voting results were pinned to the bulletin board, the door to Mr. Vance’s office cracked open.

I didn't wait for him to call my name.

I walked right in and slapped my resignation letter onto his desk.

"Mr. Vance, no need to ask me to give it up this time."
