"What do you mean by that?" Alexa asked in alarm.
"While I was rushing up, I bumped into someone and I didn't apologize to the person as I was in a rush. I caught a glimpse of the person but just ignored them."
"Now the person I bumped into is none other than the boss himself," Carmel whispered and Alexa looked at her with mouth agape.
"If you lose your job, know I warned you, Carmel." Alexa gulped gently while Carmel was tapping her fingers quietly on the table before her, nervously.
"You've been doing a good job leading the department, Morgan. Good job." Nathan complimented Morgan who smiled gently and appreciatively.
"Good morning boss." Everyone chorused as he stepped up the stage where their new plans were always presented.
The projector was turned on and he stood there looking at all of them. His face was ever so expressionless and his aura was daunting and intimidating.
"You all have done a great job in the recent projects we've made. Keep up the good work. So today I would like to make some changes to how the system works. Where are the new designs?" Nathan looked at Morgan who signaled to Carmel to bring it over.
She froze for a second before she picked up the file and walked towards Morgan. She handed her the file before walking back to her place but she could feel Nathan's gaze on her.
"You should apologize when you get the chance to or else tomorrow, you'll find yourself in the streets without a job," Alexa whispered as Nathan talked.
"You don't have to scare me more about it, Alexa. I'm scared enough already." Carmel whispered back with regret in her voice.
"You're such a fool Carmel. Abig one." Carmel hit her forehead slightly.
Despite scolding herself, she still heard every single thing Nathan said.
Soon, Nathan climbed down the stage to examine some of the work done by the employees. The whole hall had just ten large desks in them and they all had their different purpose and had only ten people.
Nathan moved from each desk to another checking their latest works. Morgan looked unbelievably calm and nice, surprising both Carmel and Alexa.
"This is the latest design I made personally, boss. What do you think about it?" One of the ladies asked him as she came forward.
She smiles and bit her lips seductively but all he did was look at the designs before snorting and walking past her.
The face of the lady turned pure red with embarrassment. No one dared to say a word as he continued to walk from desk to desk.
Nathan didn't go to the last table and returned to the front as he looked at all of them with his hands in his pockets. Morgan signaled to all of them to get back to work which they immediately did.
Nathan didn't say a word, all he did was stand there looking at the file in his hand with much interest.
Nathan returned the file to his assistant and took another. It took him a while to check the second file, then he looked up at everyone sitting down quietly and waiting for him to leave.
He walked down to Carmel's table. Carmel was busy with her job and she didn't know when he got behind her and stood, looking down at what she was doing.
It wasn't the work assigned to her. She was busy making her drawings which Nathan found fascinating but he didn't say a word.
Immediately Carmel noticed his presence, her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. She looked terrified as she saw him looking at what she was doing.
"Sir…"
He didn't even let her explain and just walked away from their table and she sighed.
Alexa peeked at the screen of Carmel's pad before she facepalmed. "What you did earlier isn't enough, right?
"Now you want to get yourself thrown out of this company. Mind you, I won't spare you any cash." Alexa whispered as she pointed the tip of her pen at her. All Carmel did was roll her eyes.
She quickly changed what she was doing to her work. Nathan stood with Morgan and had a few words with her that no one except the two heard.
Morgan seemed to be displeased with whatever Nathan was telling her but as expected, she had to heed whatever he says because it was his company, not hers.
"Boss will be having a final check at all our projects before he leaves," Morgan informed the employees who were looking more focused than ever.
Carmel who saw this, sighed. They would never be this focused normally but now that the boss decided to supervise them, they suddenly became focused and the mean head of the department became calm, telling them what to do.
Nathan walked around again and examined everything. However, once more, he didn't reach Carmel's table.
As he headed towards the exit of the department, Carmel stood up to use that opportunity to apologize to him for bumping into him earlier but as she walked out of her table, he turned his head sharply, looking at her.
"You." He pointed at her and she looked at him with a shocked expression.
Everyone looked in Carmel's direction and immediately, some started to whisper.
"Yes, boss?" Carmel looked at him nervously.
"Follow me." Was all he said before walking out of the department.
