Slap!
Before Zayne could even finish his sentence, another slap came his way.
“Jared...”
Slap!
Slap!
As Zayne opened his mouth again, another tight slap quickly followed. He was beaten up to a pulp.
Finally, Zayne didn't dare to even open his mouth anymore. Instead, he just stared at Jared with fearful eyes.
Not only Jared, but the rest of them were also absolutely terrified after witnessing what happened to Zayne. None of them dared to speak a word anymore. Lydia was trembling so badly as she sat down quietly on her chair. She was worried that if she said another word, a slap was going to land on her face as well.
Gradually, their gazes ended up on Xavier. Since he was the general manager of the company, surely he was supposed to do something about what had just happened. Hence, everyone was eager to see what would happen to Jared.
To everyone's surprise, Xavier kept silent, and his grim expression remained. The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was suffocating.
“That's enough. Serve the dishes!” After a few minutes, Xavier finally broke the silence.
Everyone was baffled by what they heard. Millions of questions were running through their minds. After what Jared has done, why did Mr. Jennings still keep him around for dinner? Shouldn't he have just fired him on the spot instead?Could it be that there's something going on between them behind the scenes?It can't belBased on how they talked to each other just now, it was obvious that they aren't even friends! Where did he get the courage to beat up Zayne? Also, why did Mr. Jennings not do anything about it?
As Maria was busy attending to Zayne's swollen face, she couldn't take her fiery eyes off of Jared.
Soon after, the waiters started bringing in the dishes.
Every single one of the dishes looked appetizing and expensive.
Only when the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, did the gazes shift away from Jared. Right then, everyone was salivating at the sight of such luxurious food.
Jared took his fork and dug in first.
