What's going on? Those sitting below heard David proclaim, "All those who were stirring up trouble will be fired," he seemed so serious, he wasn't joking, was he? If everyone involved were fired, would anyone at the Butterfly be left?
For a moment, panic spread among them. However, the person who had just run up to report to David was not in the least bit anxious because he knew David should be thanking him, not reprimanding him.
So that person stood up voluntarily. However, the rest of them didn't know he had gone to inform David; they just thought him bold!
But after some thought, it seemed that standing up was the most beneficial decision. After all, David had clearly stated that if you don't stand up and he finds out, you're fired!
Everyone began to stand up, discussing amongst themselves. David looked at the sea of standing people; some were standing at their workspace, some in the aisle and even some behind him.
