His annoyance

Outside the Conference Room

"Excuse me..."

The man stopped in his tracks as he glanced at the woman in front of him. Her messy bangs covered her forehead and her thick-rimmed glasses certainly looked ancient on her freckled face, "You are?"

"Kate Jones, the new head of the PR Department," she extended her hand towards him. 

The man seemed to be hesitating a bit before he shook hands with her. 

The woman looked at his hand for a moment before her gaze shifted to his face, "Can you please tell me the way to the washroom?"

"That way..."

"Thank you."

As she left, the man turned around and clicked his tongue while gazing at her baggy sweatshirt and long skirt.

The quality of employees seemed to be degrading day by day

 He thought. 

...

As the door to the washroom closed, the woman looked at her reflection in the mirror.
