Sean's question left his assistant on the verge of tears, stuttering, "No, no, not at all."
"Then why are you shaking?"
His words struck terror into her heart, and with a trembling hand, the coffee she was bringing to Steward spilled all over the plush carpet.
Both Sean and Steward were speechless, so as Carl and Romeo who just walked into the room.
Poor girl was absolutely petrified. She frantically grabbed some napkins to clean up, but before she could even make a dent, Mr. McMillian and Carl walked in. Tears welled up as she stammered, "I'm so, so sorry, Mr. McMillian. I just messed up."
It was her fifth day as an intern, and the last thing she wanted was to lose her job over this.
Seeing the commotion, Sean couldn't help but think, "What kind of bogeyman is Romeo, scaring the daylights out of a secretary? Is he always this harsh with the young ladies? Not a shred of gentleness?"
