"You're right on time, boss," Yanee commented as she and Tohru stepped in the elevator.

"Of course, I've never been late like Ms. Lee," Tohru retorted with a serious face, making Yanee look offended.

"What late? I was never late for work. I always arrive on time unless I have an emergen –" Her voice abruptly stopped as soon as she looked at her boss's face. Even he had on a stoic expression, she realized there was amusement dancing in his eyes and she clamped her mouth shut.  

This bully potato!

"Boss, you really like bullying people," she commented as if she was reprimanding an unruly child.

Tohru turned to her with a brow raised. "You're just stuck up Ms. Lee. You should loosen up a bit," he advised, making her nose flare.

"I'm loose enough," she retorted so suddenly making Tohru choke on saliva and had a coughing fit.

Realizing what her words implicated Yanee panicked. Loose? What loose? She wanted to cry at her own words.
