"You bitch! What nonsense are you talking about! Ouch!" Mr. Xue was helped up by some people, and he fully denied what he had just done.
"Did you call me a bitch? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brother is and who my father is? And my sworn father and mother?" Regardless of the pain that was coming from her injured hand, Janet escaped Daniel's control and again kicked Mr. Xue's big belly with her foot.
Mr. Xue howled in pain again: "You bitch, I am not scared of any of them, even if they are bigwigs or the king! I will definitely charge you, until the moment that you are sentenced to death! Where is my lawyer? Go and ask my lawyer to come here at once!"
'What background could a worker, who serves tea to guests, actually have? I have been around here a lot, and you take me as a coward?'
Daniel dragged Janet to the corner and said: "Jane, sit still here! Dare you move one step!"
The anger from his eyes made Janet feel even more heart-broken. She massaged her painful hand and said: "He acted indecently towards me! I must kill him!"
"Calm down, let me handle it!" Daniel was capable of handling and mediating any sort of situation with calm and peace. But Janet's behavior always triggered his anger.
The doctor came in with a medicine box. Without noticing the scalds on Janet's hand, Daniel said to the doctor: "Go and check Mr. Xue's wounds."
"Daniel, there's no need to check that bad man!" Janet was massaging the back of her hand, which was totally red.
Daniel turned around and gave her a quick stare: "Shut up!"
Janet was frightened by Daniel's angry stare, and she curled her lips and shrank in the corner.
"Mr. Si, I have applied some basic treatment, but we still need to send him to the hospital." The doctor took off the mask and reported to Daniel.
Mr. Xue stood up from his chair and walked towards Janet, "Come to me, I will teach you a lesson today! You worthless thing!"
But before his hands reached Janet, Daniel's arms were already in the way between them.
"Mr. Xue, it's more important to go to the hospital first and handle the wounds."
Mr. Xue stared at Janet who was also in her rage: "No, I am waiting for my lawyer. I've got to make this bitch pay for what she's just done to me!"
"What bitch?" Janet kicked his leg one more time.
Mr. Xue was so angry that his face instantly flushed up, and he pointed at Janet without a word.
Hearing of what just happened, Kim rushed to the meeting room. When she found out that the new comer had offended their client, he blamed Janet at once: "Janet Shao, this is the SL group, and Mr. Xue is one of our most important clients. How can you hurt our client like this? Apologize now, at once!"
"Why should I apologize? He started it!"
She felt humiliated in an instant, as it was out of Kim's expectation that Janet would answer her back so quickly and straightforward. She took an embarrassed glance at Mr. Xue, who was now nearly fainting, and said: "Janet Shao, apologize now! Or you'll be fired!"
"Fine! Who cares?" Janet pushed Daniel away and walked outside the meeting room.
"Stop there and wait for my lawyer. Dare you try to escape your punishment!" At the point of gripping Janet's hand back, Mr. Xue was slapped hard across his face by her.
Poor him! He had just been scalded and now was also slapped. It was so painful that he could hardly speak anything at all.
"Enough!" scolded Daniel. He lost his patience after seeing this mockery. Now everyone was quiet.
"Jane... Janet, make an apology first." Daniel was about to call her Jane, but thought that it was not proper during working time, so he corrected his words immediately.
