Chapter 19: Did He Apologise?
(Arata)
I wondered who the woman was.
A jilted girlfriend?
A family member?
Karsten took her inside but didn't reprimand me for doing my job. A sign of a good leader. He was haughty, but he was fair, at least.
His office was soundproof so I had no clue what they spoke about. I returned to my office and the woman exited his office half an hour later.
I rushed out to ensure she wouldn't cause any more trouble. Giving me a death stare she mumbled a forced apology followed by a curse in Spanish.
She wasn't apologetic at all, it seemed like Karsten put her up to the apology.
I simply said. "You don't have to apologise if you don't mean it."
My directness made her eyes narrow; turning around, she headed for the elevator.
Seemed like Karsten didn't give her what she came seeking.
