Chapter 93: Levi Was A Hardass
Levi stormed into the office, his usually sharp features etched with a look of frustration and irritation. Ethan noticed the look in his boss’s demeanor immediately. Levi had always been demanding, but recently, he had become downright irritable and impatient.
"Ethan, where is that report I asked for yesterday?" Levi barked, his voice sharp.
Ethan, though taken aback, quickly recovered. "It is on your desk, sir," he replied, his voice steady.
Levi’s eyes narrowed. "And why is it not on my computer?"
Ethan sighed inwardly. "I thought that you might prefer a physical copy, sir."
Levi scoffed. "You should know better by now. I want everything digital."
Ethan nodded, suppressing a sigh. He had been working for Levi for years, and he knew better than anyone that his boss could be a demanding and difficult person. But lately, Levi had been even more irritable than usual.
Ethan wondered if it had something to do with his recent marriage to Lyse. He had hoped that marriage would mellow Levi out, but it seemed to have had the opposite effect. He would have never in a million years have thought that a woman could influence his boss’s feelings so much.
As the day wore on, Levi’s mood continued to deteriorate. He snapped at his employees, berated his subordinates, and generally made everyone’s life miserable. Ethan, in particular, was bearing the brunt of Levi’s wrath. He was constantly being bombarded with demands, criticized for minor mistakes, and scolded for no apparent reason.
By the end of the day, Ethan was exhausted and frustrated and he’d had to comfort a couple of assistants who had broken into tears after being scolded by Levi.
He could not understand what was wrong with Levi. He had always been a hard worker, but lately, he seemed to be pushing himself to the brink, causing Ethan as his assistant to suffer late nights and more work load. One would think that being a new husband meant that he should spend time with his wife.
