Chapter 351
David’s cheeks burned with shame. He was the right–hand man to the big boss of Gordon Group, and he would just be booted out of the office for all to see. How was he supposed to show his face?
However, when it came down to it, facing Walter’s icy glare, David did not think twice before he made a
beeline for the exit.
He shut the office door behind him, leaving only a door between him and Walter, Leaning against the cool wood, he breathed a sigh of relief and dabbed at the sweat breaking out on his forehead. In his head, he could not help but shout, “Who in the world ticked off the boss this time?!
The boss’s mood swings were like a roller coaster, making life difficult for everyone trying to do their jobs.
The chill from the boss’s office did not take long to reach the secretaries. The head of the department stared at the hefty stack of papers in her hands, feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Lately, Walter had been all over the place emotionally, and the secretaries were walking on eggshells. They were just trying to keep their heads down and get through each day without causing trouble. The department head could not even finish her work.
She could not seriously be expected to hand–deliver those papers to the boss, could she? Sure, she could make the trip, but doing such grunt work herself could make the boss question her competence.
What she did not realize was that Minnie, who was pretending to be buried in work but was actually twiddling her thumbs, had been watching her struggle.
Minnie had been keeping an eye on the department head for a while. The documents that Walter had demanded first thing in the morning had been with the department head for ages, yet there was no sign of ‘them being delivered.

Knowing Walter’s office was like a ticking time bomb, Minnie had a rather good guess about what was
going on.
The department head’s hesitation must be about choosing the right person to send the documents, right?
As expected, the department head took the papers for a walk around the office.
Her colleagues, who were usually all smiles and jokes with her, had done a complete 180. They were avoiding her like she had the plague.
Nobody knew that Minnie had gotten a taste for the thrill after handling a tricky situation last time. She had been quietly on the lookout for another chance to shine.
When the perfect moment finally arrived, she could not possibly let it slip through her fingers.
However, she had to play it cool. If the department head caught on to her eagerness, it could backfire big time.
Thus, Minnie grabbed her water bottle and, pretending to get a refill, just so happened to walk past the head of the secretarial department.
The department head was desperate to offload some work. When Minnie, the office newcomer, crossed

her path, she saw her chance.
“Hey, Minnie, this pile of papers needs to get to the president’s office, pronto.”
