Back away from the designer's head

“I want to resign as chief designer, Mr.”

Gilang was shocked to hear Sandra's words.

“Why?” tanya Gilang did not believe in the wishes of the woman he had been guarding for so many years. “What does Farzan forbid?” asked Gilang with an unhappy facial expression.

Sandra accidentally meets Gilang to discuss her work. The doctor asked her not to be too tired and a lot of work, considering if she was pregnant in old age and the womb needs special attention to avoid something that is not desirable. Therefore, Sandra decided to step down as the head designer she has held for many years, in order to maintain the content.

Sandra chuckled at Gilang's accusation, and then she replied, “ Not because of Farzan, sir. But because I'm pregnant and need special attention considering my age is not as young as it used to be. I don't want to work too much, for the sake of keeping my content.”

Gilang was surprised to hear Sandra was pregnant, but also happy to hear the happy news.

“You pregnant? Congratulations,” said Gilang happy.

“Thank you,” said Sandra while nodding small.

“But you are sure of this decision?” tanya Gilang make sure.

Sandra answered Gilang's question with a nod, before then saying, “I'm very sure. You can appoint Joya as the chief designer in my place, because you know that Joya has more ability in terms of design. I believe in his abilities.”

Gilang nodded in understanding. Although Sandra recommended Joya, but did not necessarily make Gilang immediately choose her son-in-law as a replacement for Sandra despite knowing Joya's ability. He just did not want to be considered nepotism, to choose to discuss it with the board of directors.

Sandra returned to the company after meeting Gilang and conveying her point. She hasn't talked about it with Farzan, but is confident that her husband will support her.

Sandra walked into her division room, looking at the staff who had accompanied her for so many years. Somehow his decision to step down as chief designer made him feel guilty for his team. He knew if the projects worked on were reduced, then the bonus for his team would also be reduced.

“Friends, can talk for a minute,” pinta Sandra.

The staff gathered, they sat down and some stood, staring at Sandra who was smiling towards them.

“Before, I want to apologize,” Sandra said as she stared one by one the team.

“Why do you apologize?” ask the assistant who used to accompany Sandra.

“I just permission to superiors if you will resign as head designer,” said Sandra then looked back one by one her team to see their facial expressions.

Everyone there was silent, maybe they were surprised to hear Sandra's decision.

“There is a reason that makes me unable to assume the post of head designer. I know you may be disappointed, but I hope you understand the circumstances and accept my decision. I myself did not force you to stay with me, realizing that after I had left this post, your work and income would have been reduced. However, even so I will not prevent you if you want to apply to move divisions or move to a new head designer, because I am confident in your abilities,” said Sandra at length.

Everyone fell silent, until Sandra's assistant asked, “Why do you want to retreat?”

Sandra smiled at her assistant's question, before then answering, “I'm pregnant and need special attention. I can't bear the burden of work too much.”

“Are you pregnant?” Sandra's assistant was surprised but there was also a gurgle of happiness on her face.

The expressions on the faces of the other staff changed from disappointed to happy. They did not expect Sandra to withdraw because she was pregnant.

“Iya,” said Sandra in response to the assistant's question.

“Yes God, congratulations Bu.” Sandra's assistant immediately hugged full of happiness. “I don't mind you retreating, as long as you are still here then I'll continue with you.”

“Thank you.” Her assistant's words made Sandra want to cry.

“We will not move or leave Mom, for us you are an amazing leader. You patiently guide us from scratch, then how can we step down and leave you just because you let go. Ah ... You joke when you say give us the option to go,” said one of the staff with glazed eyeballs. She has been with Sandra for almost seven years, so far Sandra is very good and also patiently guiding herself, how can she leave Sandra.

The short-haired girl with glasses perched on her nose approached, then hugged Sandra and congratulated her.

“I will continue with Mom, so don't worry, Mom. The issue of additional bonuses, my basic salary is arguably very enough to sustain my needs,” said the girl.

“Thank you,” said Sandra moved.

Everyone did the same, they did not want to separate from Sandra and did not care if Sandra dropped out of office because she was pregnant.

They hugged Sandra one by one, until a voice made everyone turn to the entrance of the division.

“Do I interrupt?”
