She ignored their frightened expressions and went into the pantry to get some water. Once she was done, she left the pantry without saying a word.
But she didn't immediately return to her desk. Instead, she stood outside for a few minutes. And as expected, the pantry was in an uproar.
"It's over, we're done for. She must have heard what we said just now. If she says anything to President Jones, will we be fired?"
"She probably didn't hear us. Otherwise, why didn't she react?"
