[: 3rd POV :]
The fat man sighed deeply.
He realized that his unintentional scolding had affected Sasha more than he intended.
He didn't mean to scold her harshly, but he had to.
After all, work is work and with the era changing, there's no telling when his shop would close.
There was concern etched on his face and he approached her gently with a soft tone.
"Sasha, I didn't mean to upset you that much''
''I just... I need you to be on time, you know? It's important for the business," he said with a more sympathetic tone.
Sasha, still trembling, managed to nod in understanding, wiping away a few tears.
''I-I know'' She timidly replied.
She was relieved that he wasn't as angry as she initially thought.
"Look, I know you're going through a lot'' He knows the kind of situation that she was in which is why, he didn't want to be harsh with her.
