Michael’s office was previously used for other purposes, so the soundproofing wasn’t all that great. For that reason, everyone heard our conversation. They most likely heard him hauling me over the coals loud and clear earlier.

I returned to my table morosely, still saddened by his attitude earlier.

 

“Are you okay, Anna?” Millie inquired in concern from across me upon seeing my despondency.

Sniffling, I feigned a nonchalant expression to mask the sorrow within me.

“I’m fine.”

 

I flashed Millie a forced smile, but even I myself found it utterly unconvincing.

“Gosh, Mr. Shaw was really blowing things out of proportion! It was just a design proposal, no? Was it really necessary for him to blow a gasket?” Millie muttered after stealing a glance at Michael’s office.

“Alright, that’s enough. You’d better hurry up with your work if you’ve got time to grumble. Otherwise, you might be the next unlucky person.”

 

While I no longer had anything to do with Michael, I was still perturbed to hear her speaking ill of him.

At my reminder, fear seemingly struck Millie. She hastily buried her head in work and dared not say a single word further.
