"since we've gotten rid of dead weight around here," she started. "i'm getting rid of the new regulations enforced. we'll go back to how things were before."
her employees seemed to sigh with relief.
"but that doesn't mean stop the hard work. just know that things have been settled over." karla stated.

karla shot up from her chair and started running. "why didn't you tell me that first? i'll be right back!"
