Ashley looked up when the door opened. She was so startled to see Tanaga standing there that she almost dropped the microphone. The crew all stood looking at the open door, their eyes wide. The room fell silent. Everyone seemed afraid to even breathe at the sight of their boss standing in the doorway like a lion ready to pounce.
No one spoke a word. You could've heard a pin drop as they watched, frozen, waiting for him to react. Ashley noticed the way the crew responded to him.
She looked back at Tanaga and suddenly raised her eyebrows. Drunkenly, she thought to herself, What? Do you think you're the only one who can raise your eyebrows and make ugly faces? Psh… So can I! The influence of the alcohol was making her feel abnormally courageous.
Moments passed by in this eerie silence. No one was speaking. No one even seemed to be breathing as they waited for Tanaga to come in and say something.
