Everything Changed After OK

Summary

At one in the morning, the general manager posted the project assignments in the group chat and tagged everyone.

I reviewed my responsibilities carefully, going through each detail to make sure I understood exactly what was expected of me.

When I was done, I typed a simple "OK" and hit send.

Two seconds later, my phone rang.

It was him.

As soon as I answered, his voice came through, icy and sharp, filled with unmistakable disgust.

"Eric, I'm very disappointed in you. I must have been blind to trust you with anything important."

My mind went completely blank.
