I turned to leave his office. Standing outside, I took a couple of deep breaths before glancing back at the firmly shut door.

"Cold-blooded monster!" I muttered in frustration.

Back in my office, I was still in a sour mood. Yet my colleagues seemed unusually excited. "Guys, look at this! This is shocking news!"
