Coincidentally, I overheard Ashton reprimanding his employee, “We just resumed the project in less than twenty-four hours, and this happened? Explain yourself!”
No one had the guts to answer him.
I tilted my head to see several employees who worked overtime observing the drama outside the office. With a smile, I entered the office.
Upon turning around, I had a clearer picture of what was going on.
Two young employees dressed in white shirts were standing quietly in front of the desk. They dared not even lift their heads to look at Ashton.
With his back facing them, Ashton leaned against the desk and let out a heavy sigh.
As I had closed the office door gently, he did not notice me coming in. A few moments later, he exploded once again. “Contact the family members, and make sure the media do not pick this up!”
“All right, sir!” the employees replied.
Ashton picked up a pen holder and threw it in their direction. “Go!”
Obviously, he did not aim the pen holder directly at the two young men as it hit the water dispenser next to them.
Even I got a shock as I had never seen Ashton throw a fit like this before. The poor young men were so terrified that they instantly turned around and left his office.
Ashton finally noticed me when he looked at the door out of the corner of his eye and softened his voice. “How long have you been here?”
“Just arrived.” My lips curled into a smile. I lifted the lunchbox to get his attention. “Dinner for my beloved Mr. Fuller.”
Having said that, I walked over and unpacked the lunchbox on the coffee table.
