Her snobbish face drove him up the wall. Hence, he gritted his teeth and snarled, "If you think you're better than me, be my guest and handle this matter yourself. I don't have to work with you either."
Brandon quickly came forward and mediated between them when he saw them arguing. "Miss Kepler, please don't mind him. He isn't angry at you. He's frustrated with himself because he couldn't accomplish the task."
"Did I give you my permission to speak?" Yvonne cut him off rudely.
Brandon shut his mouth with a snap, and his expression turned awkward as no one had ever spoken to him like this before. He suppressed his rising anger and unwillingly apologized, "I'm sorry."
Since he couldn't talk to Yvonne, he turned to Eddie and persuaded him instead, "Young Master, please apologize to Miss Kepler. You have the same goals, so working together is the best choice for you now. Please don't split up because of this matter."
Eddie was in a black mood because of the failed mission. Not only did he fail to kill Bryan, he almost exposed himself. It was an utter waste of his time and money, to say the least.
He wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for her. He couldn't apologize to her. Thus, he shut his mouth tightly with a stubborn tilt of his chin.
Brandon knew what was running through his mind, so he discretely reminded him, "Young Master, I know that you're upset, but please think of your father."
Eddie glanced at Brandon with a complicated expression. Brandon would never have brought up his father unless he was forced to do so.
At the thought of this, Eddie restrained his rage and apologized to Yvonne with a frown, "I'm sorry for lashing out at you due to my failures. Don't worry. I'll succeed next time."
At this point, Yvonne assumed that Eddie couldn't do anything without her, so she became even more prideful and overbearing. "Alright, I'll give you one more chance."
She was still high and mighty as ever.
He rightfully feared that he couldn't control his rage any longer, so he went out and slammed the door shut without saying anything more. Unfortunately, the loud sound of the door closing indicated his foul mood.
Brandon sighed helplessly at his actions, "Young Master, I know you're upset, but we have no other choice now. We need her."
Brandon despised Yvonne too, but he had to endure her impertinent attitude for the sake of the great cause. Despite that, he would never forget how she treated him today. One day, he would make her pay for it.
