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. Minnie smelled trouble brewing

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."

Before Minnie could even respond, the department head dumped the documents in her arms and bolted from the office like a bat out of hell.

Minnie stood there, clutching the papers, putting on a show of looking conflicted.

The office erupted into whispers and side-eyes.

"Can you believe the nerve of this new girl? Marching into the lion's den like that! Isn't she scared of getting chewed out?"

"Didn't you see? The boss practically shoved the work on her. She's new, she can't just say no like we can."

That was when a colleague with beady eyes piped up, joining the gossip brigade.

you all forget? Last time, Minnie was the only one who didn't leave the president's office in tears. What do you think? Is something going on between her and the big boss...?" she said suggestively, winking and giving a knowing thumbs-up. The hint was crystal clear to anyone paying attention.

With a tone of mock sympathy, she added, "Some of us just don't have the guts she does. If you're not up! to par, tough luck,"
