Sylvie clinched her hands. He'll never stop being a jerk, will he

"Anyway, I need a file on plan C. Have it prepared and brought to my office as soon as possible. I have a board meeting to attend in an hour time. I hope the file will be ready by the time I'm back," he ordered and left, while Sylvie displayed eye- rolling. Sylvie applauded herself for being able to withhold her cravings for several hours. It was past eleven, and she couldn't stop checking the time.
