1 Hannah has interrupted his work: This is not the correct answer. Icarus is not frustrated because Hannah has interrupted him. Hannah actually volunteers to help Icarus organize his office.
2 Philip and Samantha: This is the best answer. Icarus tells Hannah that Philip Cheeter is responsible for the mess in his office. It was an intense training session with a new saleswoman named Samantha which resulted in the disorganization in the office.
