"Don't worry, your divison will be in good hands, I'm sure we have someone who can step up for you..." he muttered, shuffling through a bunch of papers and making more of a mess than actual progress.
Jake noticed the man nearly drop his folders as he broke the news. "I'm sorry, I know this is sudden and I'm just as shocked as you are, if not more so." Jake said, muttering the last part to himself. "Believe me sir, I never expected to be leaving my division. It tears me apart to do so, I hand picked every one of those employees. They're like family to me, but my own family must come first. I only hope I can make it in time." Jake said as he turned on his heel to leave.
"Oh!" Jake quickly turned back, shaking his head once again. "Forgive me, I have no idea where my head is at today. I assure you this is not like me at all. Anyway sir, shall I tell the employees? Or will you be breaking the news to them?"
