Manager Yarn noticed that Chuck's call had ended, and he taunted him mercilessly, "So what did the police say? You should've complained to the police that your wifey was beaten up! Probably then the police would come to your aid and save the day."
Chuck continued staring at him with an eerily calm composure as the manager walked over to him.
The few minutes that Yvette waited for Chuck felt like an eternity! Manager Yarn kept on harassing and provoking her, leaving her in despair.
Was it even useful to call the police now? Was this what he meant by 'helping her', by confidently pulling herself over to confront with Manager Yarn and calling the police for help?
If that was the case, then she had enough!
Once, she had thought of accepting this person who slept together with her from young. However, his weakness, indecisiveness, laziness, and just bad overall performance in both studies and attitude had already decided his future path. How would such a person have any promising achievements in society?
So, she chose the path that was the best for the both of them: separation.
Today, she noticed Chuck's new look and thought that he was reborn anew. She thought that the day for Chuck to actually be able to stand for himself and achieve greater heights was here. Yet, it was all just an illusion, a mirage that she thought she saw but was just her imagination.
With hope, comes a greater sense of disappointment. This was the type of displeasure that Yvette was feeling now.
Manager Yarn tried to kick him.
Chuck took one look and stepped backward, avoiding Manager Yarn's kick effortlessly. He had done so with a type of gracefulness and calmness as though nothing was wrong, and he was just stepping backward to enjoy the scenery in front of him.
Manager Yarn frowned and cursed in his heart:
Is this guy stupid? Acting all pretentious despite not calling the police?
"Don't waste my time. I don't have time to play with a fool like you!" Manager Yarn smirked as he rolled up his sleeves in an effort to try to beat Chuck up.
"Chuck Cannon, let's go!"
Yvette called out to Chuck bitterly. She had decided that this would be the last time she called out Chuck's name. She didn't want to be in this place anymore, not even for a second!
What was the point of even being here? To be insulted by others continuously?
However, Chuck still did not budge. Yvette shook her head, why did she even follow him here in the first place?
Ding, ding, ding!
At that moment, Chuck's phone rang and he picked it up to answer the call, the edges of his mouth curving into a smirk a few seconds later.
Such calm composure and provoking smile pissed Manager Yarn even further. He thought, "Smile? I'll give you a few f*cking slaps and let's see who's the one smiling now!"
He stormed over and was about to hit Chuck!
But then!
A few seconds later, the phone in Manager Yarn's pocket suddenly rang. He frowned. Who the hell was it, disturbing him when he was trying to beat someone up!
He took out his phone in annoyance, expression instantly changing the moment he saw the caller ID. He waved his phone screen which displayed two words delightedly to Chuck: Big Boss!
Yvette felt even more despair!
She knew that the square owner had ties with Manager Yarn since they often went drinking together. If the owner was calling at such an odd hour now, he was definitely trying to invite Manager Yarn out for a drink.
If Manager Yarn chose to talk badly and add oil to the fire now, she would definitely lose her company! It was that simple!
Even if she had the "baller" step in, he probably couldn't do anything either!
At this point, Yvette's discontent turned to fury.
Chuck, I don't blame you if you insulted time and again, but you can't let things worsen like this!
Manager Yarn sneered, "Young man, the boss invited me out for a drink. So, I'll let you off today, but you'd better be careful from now on! If you dare provoke me, I'll be sure to end you! "
He looked down on Chuck and even arrogantly switched on the speakerphone to hear Director Wendel's voice hands-free. He thought:
Yvette Jordan, listen carefully at how close I am with the boss!
Now you regret not coming with me, don't you?
If you wait for me on the bed like a good girl, I can still give you a chance!
"Hello, Director Wendel!" Manager Yarn greeted with an extremely arrogant and confident look on his face.
"Have you left?"
"Of course not, Director Wendel! As you know, I'm the most devoted to my work and I usually leave work the last! I need to ensure that everything here is in place before I leave!"
Manager Yarn got even prouder with each passing moment. He looked at Yvette, then at Chuck, staring them down like they were peasants and he was the king. He looked at though he was showing off the fact that he was going for a night out with the boss to the two of them!
"It's good that you didn't leave. Come to my office. Right now!"
"Okay, okay. Director Wendel, please wait for a moment. I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Manager Yarn snickered, "Get away from me, I'll be enjoying myself with the boss tonight. Last time, we went to a five-star hotel for dinner and I'm pretty sure the two of you have never been to such a high-end place in your whole life, haven't you? Guess what! I go there every day!"
