Wearing a forced smile, Estelle played the role of a dutiful subordinate. Even if she did not support Leighton's

The open use of strong language, especially toward his superior, was unprecedented. Even his manager, who had
worked with him for many years, was taken aback.
Estelle felt somewhat numb. She understood Leighton had stood up for her, but Ezra was their superior.
