"You're being overly polite!" Mr. Tanner subconsciously wanted to shake hands.
But he felt it inappropriate.
Peggy Lewis was a female subordinate. If he made any mistake, it could be seen as harassment.
Moreover, Peggy Lewis was now Lyke Zhekova's wife.
Therefore, he had to be cautious as if handling porcelain.
Mr. Tanner even wanted to surround Peggy Lewis with a one-meter radius fence, to avoid any accident, any bump or scratch, any bullying, which would be hard to explain.
Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans were watching from the vicinity of Elevator.
They didn't know when Peggy Lewis would return.
They heard that Mr. Tanner was leading a group of leaders to display a banner on the first floor.
Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst heard for the first time of such a flamboyant occurrence.
So they weren't here to see Peggy Lewis, they were here to witness a miracle.
After all, they could see Peggy Lewis in the department every day.
