“What’s actually happening here?”
Emerging from his office, Duncan shot Cleopatra a displeased look.
“Why are you arguing with Mya again?”
Cleopatra held up her damaged laptop for Duncan to see.
“Mya ruined my laptop, and I have a business proposal due today!”
Duncan shrugged it off.
“It’s not a big deal. Get it repaired. No need to bicker with your coworker.”
His lack of concern only emboldened Mya further.
“Exactly. Just get it fixed. Your proposal’s still saved on there, isn’t it?”
Usually even-tempered, Cleopatra found herself in a heated exchange with Duncan and Mya, catching Hannah’s attention in the process.
When Hannah swung the door open and saw the commotion, she inquired, “Cleopatra, what’s going on?”
Cleopatra quickly filled her in.
“Boss, my laptop is broken now. I don’t think I can submit the proposal on time.”
“That’s fine, I can reschedule with Mr. Perry,” Hannah said.
She glanced casually at Duncan and Mya, adding, “This project is crucial to our company. If someone lacks the skills but wants to stay, they can start from the bottom. But if they’re not only inept but also sabotaging our work, firing them is not out of the question.”

Sensing that things were getting tense, Duncan tried to defuse the situation.
“Miss Moore, it’s really not a major issue. I know a tech expert who could probably fix Cleopatra’s laptop in no time.”
Hannah replied nonchalantly, “No worries. I’ve got a bunch of tech experts in my circle. Still, I appreciate the offer.”
She turned to Mya and warned, “This is your second blunder. One more and you’re out.”
Mya nodded vigorously, visibly shaken.
“Understood.”
Hannah then looked at Cleopatra.
“Take the rest of the day off. I’ll send you the address of a repair shop. Your laptop should be fixed swiftly.”
“Got it,” Cleopatra replied, picking up her laptop.
