"Shit!" Andrew couldn't hold back his anger, the curse slipping through his lips. His mind raced with questions. "What else are you hiding from me?"
Maxine stood there, taken aback by the intensity of Mr. Collins' reaction. What could he have discovered that left him so shocked and furious that he even dropped the phone? Her curiosity burned, but she knew better than to push him for answers. The tension in the room was evident, and she could sense his frustration.
"If there's nothing else," Maxine uttered, her voice hesitant, "I'll leave the office now."
"Out!" Andrew blurted out, his voice sharp and commanding.
She quickly turned on her heels, making her way out of the office. Cold sweat trickled down her back as she pondered what she had witnessed. Something significant had been unveiled, and the weight of the situation left her with a mix of unease and anticipation.
