James didn't even need to think before he blurted out, "Yes, yes. I'll get to the bottom of it. I'll find out everything about how Ms. Quintessa Young and Mr. Harrington met, with every single detail."
The last thing he wanted was to be sent to the highlands to replace Mr. Franklin. He would rather endure the daily grind under the big boss than set foot in that place.
Tyrone glanced at his phone and said, "Set up a meeting with Violet. I need to talk to her."
James nodded frantically, "Right away. Should I keep it from Ms. Quintessa Young?"
Tyrone looked up sharply. "What do you think?"
That look sent James scurrying like a frightened rat.
"Understood clearly," James stammered as he dashed out the door, fighting the urge to burst into tears.
Shirley, walking up with some documents, saw James' pale face and asked, "What's up?"
James wiped the sweat from his brow and glanced at Shirley's papers, giving her a friendly warning, "Shirley, you might want to think twice about going in there."
Shirley chuckled, "No worries. The boss is always in a mood. Reminds me of my mom during her menopause."
James shook his head, "Shirley, this is different. You won't be able to handle it. I've said my piece. If you insist on going in, I won't stop you, but I'll be there to pick up the pieces of you."
After imparting his grim prophecy, James staggered away, his steps unsteady.
Shirley looked at the documents in her hand, then back at James, and finally at the CEO's office door before deciding to make a swift exit.
