"Oh..." she responded blankly, still not fully awake, and absentmindedly, her hand reached his cheek and pinched it.
Around them, there was a gasp of shock. Oh my, what did they see? Alice Conley's courage was too great, she actually dared to pinch Director Howards' face like that.
However, Dorian Howards did not get angry, he just held Alice Conley's hand, ready to take her away immediately.
Alice Conley finally seemed to wake up, this... this wasn't a dream, "Hey, where are you taking me? I'm still at work!" she shouted urgently.
"Just take a leave," he said.
"But I'll get my full attendance bonus deducted."
"I'll compensate you double."
"..."
The two gradually walked away, their conversation growing fainter, leaving the people in the office staring at each other, unable to understand what was happening. Some people turned their gaze to Mabel Quinn, after all, Mabel Quinn was Alice Conley's friend.
Mabel Quinn shrugged, "Don't look at me, I'm just as clueless!"
