“Don’t be difficult. You know about the situation with Tom, and we can’t afford to delay the Brightwave Group project. If I don’t work overtime now, are you damages Brightwave Group might face?!
I was sure that no matter how upset he was, he wouldn’t stop me from getting the work done. After all, the damages could easily be millions, and no company would want to deal with that unless it was absolutely necessary.
As expected, he didn’t aeque further, just mattered quietly, “You could’ve gone to Harmon Group. Isn’t your office big enough there?”
