“Have you gone mad?” Henry shouted, his face red with fury.“That's going too far, Adrian. He's the manager,” the team lead spoke up.“I also think he did it.” Fallon's statement had eyes lashing on her.She shrugged and added, “He made it very clear that he was against the event. He wanted it to fail.”“Of course, you will back him up. We all know why,” the caricaturist mumbled.Fallon's eyes widened and her voice dropped dangerously. “What did you say?”The caricaturist immediately remembered her place.Fallon might not be from her department, but she was her sup
