I yelled at the top of my lungs as I dropped the bag on the floor in annoyance. Quickly, they both separated from one another swiftly. My secretary looked at me in great shock as she covered her mouth in surprise. "I…I'm sorry." She stammered with a look of disappointment.

The judgment I once thought of giving to her was not suitable enough. I had to increase it. The
