Secret agent Sim retired early, need help

Heya guys,

I'm playing Sims 4 with a few expansions, including Get Famous. My adult (not elder) Sim who was a double diamond agent got one of the little pop ups where you have to make a choice for them while at work. I wish I had gotten a screenshot, but basically it said she had cracked a big case and could proceed with the arrests, which would boost her fame (hence why I mentioned Get Famous) and reputation, yet also force her to retire since her cover would be blown. Her other option was to just keep doing what she was doing. It really said "retire", so I figured it was a sweet deal and took it. The problem is that she isn't getting retirement money and she still gets alerts that work starts in one hour despite no longer having a career. She doesn't actually go to work, it's just the alerts. Did I do something wrong? Did I just essentially quit my job due to the pop up's poor wording? This is the first family where I'm actually trying to raise a child to teenage-hood without cheating for money or anything. Please help. :-(

I've gotta go to bed for now, but I'll gladly answer any questions you have in details when I wake up.
