"It's all your fault!" he whispered dramatically. "What exactly did you do to the boss for him to drag all of us back to the office and force us into overtime?!"
Taylor nearly wailed again, but the moment his eyes landed on Xander through the glass walls of the conference room, he instantly lowered his voice.
