The director was clearly dissatisfied with Mikołaj's answer.
"I would like you to rethink your decision. The scandal that started in your department obviously had nothing to do with you personally, and I apologize for all the inconvenience you have experienced on your account. The investigation was pretty rough, but our company was at stake. Please understand that. "
"I understand" admitted Mikołaj surprised by his boss's statement. "And I understand that for this company - probably for every company - I am only a cog, not a human being, but for myself I am a human being. I have my pride and my dignity, and I see no reason to let it trample it for the good of the company. "
His answer clearly displeased the director, but Stefan's beautiful gray eyes showed amusement. This, in turn, did not please Mikołaj.
