Desperate, he scrambled to explain. “Mr Joseph, please let me explain–this is all because of that bitch Aurora…”
He twisted the story, making himself sound like the victim while painting Aurora as a vicious and calculating woman.
“Aurora?” Joseph’s tone tumed cold with suspicion.
“I thought you already got rid of her. How could she possibly bring you down?”
“You don’t understand, Mr. Joseph! That girl is…. weird!”
Chuck continued weaving his tale, adding more fabrications with every sentence.
“I don’t know what tricks she used, but somehow she-”
“Useless! Pathetic!”
Joseph’s furious roar burst through the phone speaker, sending a sharp ringing through Chuck’s ears.
His grip on the phone tightened until his knuckles turned white, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably from fear.

“Joseph, she… she’s different now. I… I’m no match for her at all.”
He then exaggerated the events of that morning, emphasizing how Aurora had effortlessly flipped him over her shoulder and

Joseph’s voice carried a hint of disbelief.
“A grown man like you got thrown by a woman?”

“Mr, Joseph, L… I…” He stammered, unable to string together a coherent sentence.
“Enough! Shut up!”
Joseph snapped, cutting him off harshly.
“Pathetic. You couldn’t even handle something this simple!”

His jaw clenched.
“That woman… she played me!”

The more he dwelled on the thought, the more convinced he became. A flicker of curiosity sparked alongside his irritation.
On the other end of the call, Chuck barely breathed, doing his best to withstand Joseph’s fury.
He knew he had completely lost Joseph’s favor–and from now on, his life wouldn’t be easy.
Joseph took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
