It was more serious than what Mike had imagined. Scarlett's backlash was beyond his expectations.
Now Scarlett's attitude toward him is non-violent resistance.
Not only did she turn a blind eye to Mike's goodwill, she even treated him as air and pretended not to hear what he said. Eventually, he did not give her the dark dishes.
The boss ordered food Scarlett liked by phone, but she was unmoved.
When the food arrived, he knocked on her door, but it was quiet inside. Then he turned the door handle, but it did not move.
It was locked from inside.
Mike didn't have enough patience to coax her. After knocking several times on the door, he gloomily put his ultimatum.
"It is the last time I knock on the door. If you don't open it, I will split it."
It was still quiet inside.
The axe he used to split the door was still there.
Scarlett was so scared by a loud noise that she took off the earplugs from her ears. She saw that Mike stood at the door with an axe and looked sullen.
