Did Violette take off? For real?
The vice president took a deep breath, tapping on the wide-open office door. Elijah glanced up, saw it was the VP, and immediately said, "Come in, shut the door."
Man, that's scary! His tone was the same as always, but his words were definitely nerve-wracking. The vice president walked in gingerly, shutting the office door behind him.
"Boss, where's Ms. Dennis?"
Elijah pushed his files aside and asked coldly, "You need her for something?" He paused, then continued in the same icy tone, "You guys scared her off."
The VP started sweating as he replied, "Boss, I'm really sorry! I'll go apologize to Ms. Dennis right away!"
Elijah frowned, pushing further, "You think she hasn't had enough embarrassment?"
The VP hung his head, a look of 'I'll do as you say' on his face.
"I don’t want anyone else to know what happened today!" Elijah commanded.
The VP nodded vigorously, saying, "don't worry! I won't blab!"
"I still have things to take care of, bring the others to see me in half an hour." Elijah's tone was back to its usual calm.
The VP breathed a sigh of relief. Looks like the boss is indeed in a good mood today!
Violette was driving aimlessly around the city. She was still shaken from the incident. So embarrassing!
