“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.”

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