“Sandara, can you log off from your phone? I need to discuss something from you.” Manager Lee said. I nodded and logged off from my phone and locked my computer. We proceeded to a small and empty meeting room. He slowly closed the door and he gestured for me to take a seat. He slowly sat down on an empty seat beside me and placed and blank paper on the table for him to write.
