Chapter 110 The missing dresses 3 (1/2)

When Jeremy entered back his office, he found them were still deep in their sleep. He chuckled seeing their pose. Mika was hugging Ryn's waist while burying her face to Ryn's arm. It was clear how dependent Mika was toward Ryn when even in sleep Mika reached for her best friend unconsciously.

It was a sweet sight.

But, he would prefer for the person hugging Ryn was himself or better, Ryn was hugging him in her sleep.

He shook his head. He needed to stay focus. He had another meeting to chair. This time he would be checking the latest development of some projects, especially the newly built resort.

He checked the time and nodded to himself. It was almost time. He checked his reflection in the mirror before leaving the room, again remembering to close the door gently so that the girls' sleep was not disturbed. He signalled Jacob to follow him to the meeting room.

The meeting this time was not as chaotic as the previous one even though it was a bit tense as well. Maybe he was too soft with his approach until his workers think they could slack down a bit with their responsibilities.

Irresponsible!

He would not accept those excuses!

The room freeze again.

The workers were all shaking in horror but none actually cried. They thought with Mr Long busy with trying to woo Miss Catherine, he would be a bit more relaxed and laid-back.

Obviously they thought wrong.

And now they had to accept the consequences of being 'lazy'.

Oh, how they wished they could turn back the time and redo everything back. They swore they would do it better. Please, God, please accept their prayers and turn back the time.

The meeting went on for more than three hours before Jeremy released them from their 'prison'. They scampered like chicks, running for their life once they received the permission. Some of the women quickly went into the ladies room to cry. It was hell.

Jeremy's steps were heavy with frustration and anger. His fists were tight, holding onto his temper desperately. His cold face sent a silent warning to everyone. Anyone dared to make him angrier?

None dared to walk past him. Even those who were on the way to their cubicle, seeing him made them retracing back their steps and hurrying to another side of the room. No one dared to show their face when their big boss was having a bad mood.

Jacob who was following behind Jeremy faithfully quickly opened the door of Jeremy's office when they finally reached there. He bowed and excused himself to continue his work. He also was not exempted from feeling the 'pain' but he managed to cover it with his professional mask.

Everyone thought he was strong but inside, he was crying for help as well.

But no one could save him from Jeremy's wrath.
