It was due to the habit of diving deeper into work when in a bad mood.
The head of the Research and Development Department, who was next in line to go in, could be felt nervously shaking his leg. The employees who were probably chatting away now would soon be slack-jawed with intense work once the department head came down.
Hannah Yang, the internal secretary, recalled Ellie, who used to move quickly to organize situations like this at such times.
It was already 3 PM, and they hadn't even eaten lunch properly.
Even knowing it was useless to miss someone who had already left.
Thinking about it again, she was too valuable a talent to let go like that.
Through the slightly open door, Hannah could see the successor who had mocked Ellie now dazedly serving tea, and Simon receiving reports with a poker face.
Simon's brow remained furrowed throughout.
Several hours passed like that. When Hannah came to her senses, it was the middle of the night with heavy rain pouring down.
