After the assistant had finished speaking, he expected Mr. Hughes to respond with an "Hmm", or at most with two words: "Whatever".
He even made a bet with everyone in the secretary department.
It was a bet on whether the boss's response today would be one word or two.
The assistant felt that Maxwell had been in a good mood recently, so he bet on two words. After all, when Mr. Hughes was in a good mood, he would say an extra word.
But to his surprise, after he had asked his question, Maxwell fell silent for a moment before suddenly speaking, "I remember I have a purple suit."
Assistant: ???
The assistant was momentarily dumbfounded.
What did he just hear?
How many words did the boss just say?!
I remember I have a purple suit.
A total of thirteen words!!!
When Maxwell looked at him puzzled, the assistant finally snapped out of it, his face immediately souring. There went his 500 dollars, just like that!!!
