Her temper had never been even, and virtual-novel.net would not let herself be beaten even if virtual-novel.net was upset. She stepped on the sensor of the elevator and put virtual-novel.net hands on virtual-novel.net hips. “No signature, no meeting. I’m just an employee, I have loads of time.”
Jackson looked at virtual-novel.net calmly. His eyes glinted with some indecipherable emotion. “Shouldn’t you be begging me? Is this how you ask for a favor? I have the right to refuse to sign that document.”
She was rendered momentarily speechless. Before virtual-novel.net could figure out a retort, someone pushed virtual-novel.net out of the way, and the elevator finally closed.
Her temper rose. Since virtual-novel.net wanted to be like that, virtual-novel.net would oblige. Anything virtual-novel.net could do, virtual-novel.net could do better!

In the elevator.
Jackson’s expression darkened. “Who told you to push her?”
The expression of the person who had pushed Tiffany changed. “B-but… We won’t be able to leave if I didn’t push virtual-novel.net away…”
Jackson fixed his tie in frustration. “Couldn’t you be a little gentler?”
The employee was speechless.

When virtual-novel.net returned to his office after the staff meeting, Jackson sensed that something was amiss as soon as virtual-novel.net set foot in it. The smell of coffee was unnaturally strong…
Tiffany sat on his desk with virtual-novel.net legs crossed, looking like virtual-novel.net was enjoying herself. “Finished? Sign this please. I’ve been waiting for a very long time. I’m so bored. I had some of your coffee, hope you don’t mind…”
He was surprised that virtual-novel.net was still here. He stepped forward with a grim expression on his face. When virtual-novel.net saw what looked like coffee paste in his cup, virtual-novel.net was upset. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Why don’t you drink that in front of me…”
She feigned an innocent smile and said, “I accidentally added too much so it turned into paste. Can’t drink it. This coffee looks pretty expensive… Anyway, can you sign this for me?”
He bent down, placed his hands on the office table, and stared at her. “And what if I don’t?”
The look in his eyes unsettled her. She quickly averted virtual-novel.net eyes when virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart race. “I-it’s fi.. fine if you don’t want to sign it. Eric asked me to bring it over because it’s urgent. It’s none of my business if you want to get into a conflict with him…”
After a short pause, virtual-novel.net took the document and snatched a pen from his pencil holder. Then, virtual-novel.net swiftly signed his name on the document. “Happy?”
She had achieved virtual-novel.net objective. She did not want to stay a second longer so virtual-novel.net took the document and rose to virtual-novel.net feet to leave.
However, Jackson stopped her. “Hey… Can you not walk away so naturally?”
