The director drifted off, unsure of whether to continue speaking or not. What he wanted to say was that they were mere employees and couldn’t afford to reprimand the young lady of the family they worked for.
As the mediating power between the top brass and the staff, he was in a very difficult situation indeed. With a defeated sigh, he suggested, “Why don’t I let Miss White take a leave of absence? At least until this matter is remedied.”
“There’s no need for that.” Hannah walked past him, her expression stony.
When Johanna noticed that Hannah was headed toward her, she rolled her eyes and looked away. She was still acting like she did nothing wrong.
But Hannah ignored her and turned her attention to Paige and her team members, some of whom were openly crying from all the stress.
“How Long will it take to recreate the project plan?”
Paige, who was barely hanging on to her composure, took a deep breath and explained, “Even if we all work overtime… It’s going to take at least a week.”
“How about this, then? If your team manages to deliver the plan within three days, you will each receive an incentive of 50, 000 dollars. If it takes five days, the incentive will be reduced to 30, @00. And if you take the whole week, you’ll only get 10, 000 each.”
The whole office fell silent at her announcement. The staff, who had been distraught and inconsolable just a moment ago, all lit up in a mix of excitement and disbelief.
“I am to blame, too. My poor judgment played a part in all of this, so I will be paying your incentives from my personal account. And once the project is Launched successfully, you will be granted ten vacation days with pay, as well as a dinner party at a five-star hotel.”
Hannah turned to the employee whose files had been deleted.
“I’ll speak with the accounting department and arrange for your salary to be doubled this month.”
ALL traces of grievance melted from her face, to be replaced by a look of immense gratitude.
“Thank you, Miss Moore! I’ll definitely work hard and get the job done before the week is out!”
The other employees quickly echoed her sentiment, declaring their commitment to complete the project plan as soon as possible.
“Rest assured, Miss Moore. We will give it our all and give you the best results!”

Hannah nodded then turned to Johanna.
“You,” she said in a cold voice.
“Come with me.”
Johanna muttered something under her breath, but she was smart enough to do as she was told.
Hannah led the way back to her office, ushered Johanna in, and closed the door.
“It’s not my fault!” Johanna blurted out almost immediately.
“She was badmouthing me behind my back. She deserved it!”
Hannah remained calm. One might even say that she wasn’t at all affected by the incident.
