Alan and Rick stood in the corner of the room, silently observing the increasingly tense situation. Their minds were whirling, trying to unravel the tangled threads of what their manager, Bob, might have done wrong. It never occurred to them that Morel, the seemingly calm man, was the one who had called Mr. Francis. To them, Mr. Francis' presence here was a mere coincidence.

In the center of the room, Bob looked distraught. His face was pale, and sweat was pouring down his forehead, dripping down his neck. His hands trembled as he tried to display a calm demeanor that was far from how he felt at the moment. He swallowed, searching for the right words to explain the situation to Mr. Francis, who stood with an impatient expression.

"I'm here to settle things with this man, sir," Bob said in a trembling voice, pointing directly at Morel's face. "This man is a thief, sir. Take it easy. I will solve this problem. "Sir, there is no need to be afraid because there won't be any more trouble."

    "How dare you falsely accuse me!"After that, Bob turned his face towards Mr. Francis. Instantly, the angry hue on his face turned into a hopeful expression. "That's not true, Mr. Francis. As you know, I have worked hard for this company, making this business flourish. Our customers often praise our performance. Don't believe in the words of that liar," Bob said with confidence, trying hard to strengthen his position.Meanwhile, Alan and Rick could only stand silently in the corner of the room, occasionally exchanging glances and nodding in agreement with what Bob said. As ordinary employees, they felt they had neither the courage nor the authority to speak directly to Mr. Francis. The shadow of tension and respect for the company owner made them reluctant to speak up. They have long trusted and depended on Bob, the manager. With hearts pounding, they hoped that Bob's words could convince Mr. Francis and save them all from the increasingly heated situation.Morel silently listened to Bo

While Doris was just standing behind Morel's seat.“Doris, why don't you sit next to me and eat with me?” Morel invited happily.Doris looked surprised at Morel's request. Quickly, she bowed her head as a sign of respect before replying, “Sorry, Master, I can't do that. My duty is to serve you.” Morel sighed, then placed the spoon and fork on her plate. “Doris, after everything that has happened, I feel that there are many things that must change.
