Full of rage, Mandy ran out of Tasha's house and drove away in her car.
Draco's expression stayed the same, and he didn't even bother moving an inch in her direction. He turned to everyone and explained, "I and Mandy have known each other for a long time. She's not a bad person. She just forms biased opinions of others quite easily. I beg you to give her time to calm down."
They all generously nodded in response.
Elizabeth had been walking in front of Janet but then turned and saw her staring back in the direction Mandy had left.
"What are you staring at? Mandy has treated you so badly, yet you're still worried about her?"
"I'm concerned about her and Draco's conflict. I wonder how it would affect the project they are working together on," Janet whispered in response, shaking her head as she looked back. "Even though Mandy is not necessarily a bad person, she has a huge ego. It seems things aren't over here."
Everyone headed back to work after lunch at Tasha's house.
Immediately Janet got to her desk, she saw the door to Draco's office wide open.
Janet watched in silence as Draco entered the office and shut the door. He didn't step out again after he entered.
Draco entered the office only to find that half of the files on his table were missing. Mandy was likely the one who took them.
There was a handwritten note by Mandy on his table as well, to no surprise. She had removed the files related to the project they were working together and wrote that she needed to consider some design details.
Draco's expression stayed the same. He phoned Mandy multiple times to no response. He phoned again and this time her phone had been switched off.
