I should have known by that time that stepping down from his position as CEO probably meant nothing at all to him, but I still felt like it was such a big deal. His decision would affect our lives, our relationship, and the direction that we would head toward in the future. At least, that was how I felt at the time.
“Are you really fine with this?” I asked before I could stop myself.
“Fine with what?” he asked like he wasn’t sure what I was referring to.
“Well, quitting your job and letting Elizabeth take over. Also, merging the two companies together…” I replied while sounding quite troubled.
I didn’t think my tone sounded troubled enough to accurately represent the amount of trouble and fear that plagued my mind. Perhaps I am someone unaccustomed to change. To put it in another way, I guess that I wasn’t a very adaptive person. Someone else might have reacted more positively and more optimistically than I did.
