The next morning…
Christopher called his secretary as soon as he arrived at the office.
"Yes, Mr. Sherman." The secretary had her notebook ready in case he asked her to take some notes.
"You are free to leave early today, and there is no need to come from tomorrow onwards," Christopher said flatly, not even looking up at her.
The secretary was taken aback, believing he was dismissing her because of recent mistakes she had made. She became terrified.
"Why, Mr. Sherman? I will work more efficiently. Please accept my apologies. I'm not going to make any mistakes."
Her eyes turned misty.
Christopher dropped the file he had just picked up and glared at her. "Didn't you want to take leaves?"
"Indeed, Mr. Sherman. But it's on..."
"I am extending your leave. Do you not want to spend more time with your family?"
"Uh?" The secretary was taken aback yet again. "Leave? Um…"
