Tim watched in amazement as he saw his boss conversing with Miss Mitchell. He'd never heard so many words coming out of Mr. Hayes's mouth. To top it off, he was laughing.

Laughing!

Tim couldn't even remember a time when he'd seen Mr. Hayes smile.

A joke had once gone around the office that Mr. Hayes probably had some muscle dysfunction, making it impossible for him to smile.

Tim thought back on those times during staff meetings. No matter how good the sales figures were, Mr. Hayes would only give a nod of approval. Sometimes, he wouldn't even have any reaction. He always appeared bored or angry.

Now, the same aloof boss was chatting and laughing with Miss Mitchell.

Maybe Mr. Hayes was only stern in the office. Maybe he was a different person when he was with his friends.

Tim doubted it. He was certain there was something special about Miss Mitchell.

Not only did Mr. Hayes personally arrange her installation, but he'd also taken time off to be here with her. That was on top of the specific instructions he'd given about not charging Miss Mitchell.

He stood behind one of the men and took another look at Mr. Hayes and Miss Mitchell. His wife would definitely be all ears for this story.
