The manager had never expected this situation. The reason why he had said those words was to let Yamaguchi know his place. But now… look at the condemnation coming at him from all directions, especially from the reporters who were standing on the other side. They seemed to be writing the scene down.
He was acutely aware that sweat began beading on his forehead. Then he said quietly, "Yamaguchi, you know I didn't mean that. But the scores this time really aren't presentable. You always say that you want to leave, which is not good for anyone, because your contract is still here."
Obviously, the manager wanted to stop Yamaguchi from creating a commotion. But this time, Yamaguchi, who was always forbearing, didn't tolerate it anymore. "I will pay the penalty, and from now on I have nothing to do with Sakura Stream."
