Chapter 12 A Warning for Tongues Wagging

• Josie went to her department and found Patrick conducting a meeting, which was unprecedented. He yelled her name angrily as she wasn't there yet. She could hear him even though there were two walls between them.
• "This department's staff is getting lazier, especially Josie. It's already time, but she's not here!"
• Josie shrugged and went to her desk. She was late anyway. If she joined the meeting now, Patrick would just chew her out in front of everyone. It would be an irredeemable situation.
