I don't know how many times Samantha kicked her desk while throwing some files that came to her desk. None of the staff dared to approach her. Afraid of being exposed to her unending wrath and anger."Are you incompetent at your job?" Samantha shouted as soon as the report from the factory came in. The return of goods because the quality was different from the sample was the main reason why all this happened. Not just returns but also unilateral contract cancellation, which Samantha had no recourse to sue for."B-but, ma'am," one of the employees tried to speak up. "We've tried everything-""Shut up!" she screeched, massaging her temples as the fatigue and dizziness that had set in really filled her head.
