Chapter 12

Josie went to her department and found Patrick conducting a meeting, which was unprecedented. He yelled her name angrily as she wasn’t there yet. She could hear him even though there were two walls between them. “This department’s staff is getting lazier, especially Josie. It’s already time, but she’s not here!”Josie shrugged and went to her desk. She was late anyway. If she joined the meeting now, Patrick would just chew her out in front of everyone. It would be an irredeemable situation.She sat at her table and switched on her computer, planning on continuing her unfinished interior design plans.“Josie, you’re late to today’s meeting. You’re doomed!”A colleague patted Josie’s shoulder. She averted her eyes from the computer screen and only realized that the meeting had ended.
