Realizing that she wasn't going to provoke a response out of Hannah, Regina turned around and stormed off angrily instead.
Hannah let out a sigh of relief as she fixed her makeup and left the bathroom.
Before she could even sit down at her desk, Bob came barging in angrily and threw a file onto her desk.
"My office, right this instant!"
Hannah shuddered a little and quickly followed behind him. Regina pulled a face at her when she passed her by and mouthed the words, "Serves you right!"
Hannah simply frowned at her in annoyance and quickened her pace.
After closing the door to Bob's office, she stood before him with her hands clasped in front of her as she asked, "What is it, Mr. Dijon?"
Despite only being in his forties, Bob had a huge bald patch on the top of his head. At that moment, he pulled his hair with one and turned around on the same spot in his office.
"Hannah... You've been working here for a few years now, right?" he asked as patiently as he could while trying his best to suppress his anger.
"Yes, that's right," Hannah replied honestly.
"Look at the crap you've written! This is absolute garbage! Everyone's talking about the relationship between Fabian and Yvette right now, and yet you give me this nonsense instead?" Bob raised his voice at her so suddenly that Hannah flinched in response.
She clenched her fists, digging her nails into her palms as she replied with her head low, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dijon... It's my fault, but..."
How on earth was I supposed to write that article? This is my husband we're talking about!
"No buts! I'll give you one more chance, Hannah! Go talk to Fabian and see that you get that exclusive interview with him!" Bob raised his voice at her again.
