Rowan Donovan's face flushed as she apologized to Hailey King: "I'm sorry, Miss King, we were just having a casual discussion..."
Hailey King was a long-time employee of the company and a core member of this department, someone she couldn't afford to offend.
Seeing Rowan Donovan apologize directly, Hailey King looked slightly pleased, glanced at Thea Shaw as she walked over, and continued, "Before the company reaches a conclusion, what are you discussing? Don't think what you see is the truth. What do you mean by 'you think'? Just because you think it, is it the truth?"
This was obviously directed at Rowan Donovan's first comment about Alan Grant's matter.
The surrounding colleagues gradually returned, glancing at Hailey King as she scolded, not surprised. After all, she often did this sort of thing, using her seniority as leverage.
Rowan Donovan was the youngest in the department, so who else would they scold?
