What frustrated him even more was—Emma Smith's request to extend the time wasn't like other secretaries who wanted to cling to him. It was because she felt that she had been "wronged" and from the perspective of "professional ethics," she was supposed to make it up to him by adding a few more days to her service!
At that thought, the corner of Robert Thomson's lips twitched, and he uttered two words: "No need!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he had said it, he saw the clearly relaxed expression on Emma Smith's face.
Seeing such a reaction from her, Robert Thomson's face grew even more unpleasant.
If it were a normal day, she might still have the energy to say a few pleasing words to placate him. But now... she was in so much pain that her forehead was sweating, and even her voice was hoarse. She was feeling so terrible herself, how could she still care about his reaction?
