After speaking, the department head put on an act, as if he had only Smelian's best interests at heart.

'It felt like punching cotton,' a deeply frustrating sensation.
"Do you have any explanation for what your superior just said, Doctor Smelian?" the man from the Male Management Agency asked, his tone growing harsher as if he'd finally caught Smelian in a misstep.
If Smelian had any doubts before about who had reported him, they vanished now. Seeing the department head's gloating expression, he knew it could only have been him.
"I have nothing to explain, but I need to contact my Female Master." He hadn't wanted to trouble Lu Xia with his personal matters, especially considering her current delicate condition.
