And yet, here she was. Standing in front of him. In person.
For her to step down from her position, from wherever she ruled, and come here herself, the boss knew this wasn't normal. It wasn't business as usual.
Then his head turned slowly towards Jerry. His eyes widened even more, If Rebecca came in person for Jerry, then who was Jerry?
No... Jerry couldn't just be a close friend of hers. No, no... there was something more. Maybe Jerry was above her. Maybe Jerry was someone that even Rebecca respected deeply, that thought alone made the boss even more terrified.
He couldn't even think straight anymore. He started shaking his head, whispering to himself.
"What did I get myself into...? What did I get myself into...?"
He looked up again, his voice desperate. "Please... I will talk... I'll say everything... just don't kill me."
