Eevonne shrugged. "Kingston, have you heard of the boiling frog?"
Kingston immediately understood what she was implying. His expression was sorrowful as he nodded. "Of course, I know about
that."
Eevonne continued softly. "Frogs are very sensitive in terms of jumping. If the water in the pot has been boiling since the
beginning when the frog is thrown in, it may jump out immediately to escape, and it won't be scalded. However, if the frog was
put in the pot when the water was cold, and the temperature of the water was raised little by little, the frog would get used to the
surrounding temperature over time. Finally, when the water is truly boiling, it won’t feel like it is a kind of torture anymore. It would
boil to death in the end. I am that frog. I was just slightly humble and slightly tolerant in the beginning, but in the end, everything
was already normal to me. I had already gotten used to it. Other than being vain, having a fake diploma, and often getting in
conflict with the people in my surrounding, I don't have any merits at all. I was simply a pitiful being in that company. Kingston,
you probably never expected it, right? why is it that when it was proven that I did not steal anything, I couldn't just resolutely leave
the company to protect my dignity?"
She sighed. "Actually, it was not completely because my mother was sick. In fact, the root of the reason was my vanity. I had
already gotten used to working an office job. I had already gotten used to being looked at with an envious gaze by outsiders who
were unfamiliar with my situation at that time. I was even more used to being admired by my mother's family. Therefore, I
cowardly chose to endure being humiliated there. Perhaps I didn't even know that that was a kind of humiliation because I truly This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
didn't feel it. In the next two years from then on, I lived my life every day being ridiculed and treated sarcastically. In the office, as
long as it was a matter that could be tied to me, no matter how major or minor it was, it would almost always be my fault. Of
course, I have always been doing my job very well. I still had that bit of confidence. I've always completed the matters I was
responsible for very well. However, this kind of good work had never been valued by my boss. At the end of both years, when the
company was grading everyone’s performance in the office, my boss had given me a failing grade. I had the lowest score in the
office. At that moment, I was already so belittled that I didn't feel humiliated anymore. It was when something happened at the
company again some day that I suddenly lashed out completely."
Kingston could not help but ask, "What's the matter that made you lash out completely? Was it very severe?"
Eevonne shook her head. "In fact, the matter itself was not severe. Perhaps something was not right in my head then, but that
matter made me choose to resign from the company."
Kingston was very relieved. "You've...finally resigned?"
