Xander suddenly shut the document in his hand with enough force to make the entire room jump.
The sound echoed through the conference room like a gunshot, causing several people to visibly flinch.
One intern almost dropped his laptop.
Taylor closed his eyes. Another soul has departed.
Xander slowly lifted his gaze toward the employee standing before him.
"There is not a single proposal here," he said coldly, "that convinces me any of you deserve your salaries."

Somewhere in the back, a manager looked moments away from tears.
Taylor silently prayed for everyone's survival.
The employee standing near the screen nearly choked on air. "S-Sir, we can revise it—"
"Revise?" Xander repeated calmly, which somehow made him even scarier. "This proposal looks like it was written by people who lost the will to live halfway through."
Taylor immediately lowered his head to hide the way his shoulders were shaking.
