The marketing department was filled with chaos. As soon as they had received a notification from Shane about the meeting, they knew they were doomed. It was not that they never had meetings before. Every meeting would be preplanned and they would be informed beforehand. If it was called immediately without any preparation, then it meant only one thing; someone had not done their work or their boss was furious regarding something.

The employees wanted to ask Shane why they were called out of the blue, but they had no time. The meeting would start in twenty minutes and they did not have any reports or materials supporting them. Everything was only half done. However, they could not evade the situation. The only thing they could do was to face the situation head one.

Noah walked inside the conference room, loosening his tie a bit while Shane and Ronnie followed him. The employees could feel the dark aura he was emitting and the room became cold at once, making them shiver involuntarily. Everybody noticed that Noah was enraged and they concluded that their end was near. He looked nothing less than a raging monster ready to rip off anybody's head who came in his way.

"Begin." He ordered and the department manager started giving all the reports they could prepare in the short duration. The poor guy was on the verge of pissing himself on seeing the angry beast in front of him. He stuttered without his knowledge making Noah to stop him.

"How much do I pay you for your work?" He asked, his voice exceptionally calm. Warning bells set off in everyone's mind, even Ronnie who knew this was all temporary could not help but tremble. He had never seen him this angry, not even when he had found out about his mentor's death or Caroline's truth. He suddenly started to regret coming up with this plan.

It was he who had suggested Aria to pick up a fight with him. Though Aria was reluctant at first. she eventually agreed that the effect of surprise would be huge after their fight. However, now he was starting to regret it.

"Boss..." The manager started.

"Do I pay you so that you can slack off and produce such nonsense work. Looks like the company needs to change its employees." As soon as he said those words everybody stiffened. That's it, they were going to get fired today.

"Next." He ordered. The manager could not speak a word. He was trembling vigorously. Seeing his weak state, the assistant manager took over the meeting. He started explaining about all the preparations they were doing to promote their new hotel.

Noah who had his eyes closed as he listened to him, opened it suddenly making the assistant manager pause. "What crap ideas have you come up with? Are you going to promote my hotel using these thoughts? Even kindergarten kids will produce better results. I think its time I start replacing you with them."

The manager was almost about to cry hearing his words. Just last week, when they had come up with the idea, Noah had liked it and had asked them to proceed with it. Now, he was objecting to it. What was wrong with him?

The meeting went on for two hours and by then all the people in the conference room, except Noah, Ronnie and Shane were almost reduced to tears. It looked as though they were in hell waiting for the demon to give his verdict so that they could be punished. Noah stared at his employees, his eyes seething and jaws clenched. After a long time, he barked, "All of you will be getting half-pay for three months. Now get out."

Though they were sad about the pay cut, they were relieved to have escaped their death that day. At least, they were not going to lose their jobs. When they left the room, everybody had just one thought in mind. If ever they found out who triggered Noah's anger, they would not leave him for sure. Aria had no idea that people were cursing her as she slept like a log.

"Shane, call the finance department for a meeting. Tell them it will start in half an hour." With that, he walked out of the room. Ronnie and Shane gave each other a look and shook their heads. Noah took his phone to see if Aria had called him, or even a text message was fine. But there was nothing from her. It looked like she was still angry, when in actuality she was peacefully asleep.

As soon as Noah had smashed his phone, Ronnie had taken out a new one for him. They had a stock of phones just for him. Whenever Noah was angry, his wrath would first fall on his phone. So, they had to keep extra phones just for him.

The meeting started exactly in half an hour and they were met with the same wrath from their boss. Noah's anger had not diminished. In fact, it had increased ten folds and he was shooting them orders and scoldings for every word they spoke. 

Time passed and it was half-past seven. Ronnie took a look at the situation and he felt that the meeting would not end any time soon. He had to do something.

"Boss." He interrupted only to get a glare in return. He gulped nervously, but he had to do what he wanted to do.

"Boss, it's already late. Let's continue tomorrow." All the people in the room subconsciously nodded. They wanted the meeting to end as soon as possible so that they could escape the hell hole.

"Are you giving me orders now?"

"No no. Boss, it's just that it's late and ..."

"And?"

"And we have to go somewhere."

Noah narrowed his eyes. Ronnie had been acting weird since the time he had returned after dropping Aria. Was something the matter? "Where?"

"Boss, one of your clients booked an appointment at the last moment. So, we have to go to attend the meeting."

"Cancel it." 

"Boss, it's very important. Please." Without waiting for Noah, Ronnie pulled Noah by his hand shocking everyone in the room. "Boss, please listen to me just once. I assure you everything will be fine. You may punish me once the meeting is over, but right now please come with me."

The room temperature had dropped to minus degrees and even Ronnie sensed it. But he continued to put on a brave face and pulled Noah out of the room, leaving the employees staring at each other with the eyes wide and jaws dropped.
