The room fell silent as Archer looked around to see if anyone still wanted to interrupt."Good," he mumbled to himself.He meticulously dissected the details of the two crucial projects laid out before the team. He had to make them understand how important it was for his company and as well as his position that this goes well."Your job is to bring these companies in. So there would be a lot of researching, investigating, and decisions made on this.""Teaching us how to do our jobs? Classy." Eric mumbled.Archer stopped short and leveled him with a look, "If you were doing your job like you say, I wouldn't be here."He turned back to the rest of them as they snickered, "Any of you."They all kept quiet.Archer's voice echoed in the room as he assigned the roles for the projects. "Eric, Lola, Charles," he declared, fixing his gaze on each of them, "you will be the team leaders. Your responsibility is to spearhead the efforts and report directly to me."Eric straightened.

Archer sighed, he ran a shaky hand through his hair. He sank into a nearby chair as a breath escaped him.He looked at Madison and whispered a broken, "What?"It was all his fault. To defend him, the company is now in trouble. He hid his head in his palm."Don't blame yourself," she said.Archer said nothing.Madison took a deep breath as she sat down, her eyes fixed on Archer's clenched fist. She gently reached out and grabbed a hold of his hand as she explained."Archer, you need to calm down," Madison started, her voice calm but laced with concern. "Mrs. Wheeler spoke to the press, accusing us of unlawful termination. It's all over the news."Archer leaned back, scoffing at the accusation. His jaw tightened, but he opted to remain silent for the moment, waiting for Madison to reveal more details."It gets worse," Madison continued, her grip on Archer's hand tightening slightly.

Archer walked briskly back to his office, the reports weighing on his mind.He chuckled under his breath. Eric's report was the most lacking and surprisingly, he expected Lola's to be.He has nominated Eric because he heard the guy works like a machine but seeing him give a half-assed job on the report made Archer doubt everything in the first place.He grabbed some papers he needed to look at.Just as he settled into his chair, Lola barged in, a glare directed at Archer.
