Titus lost all his arrogance. He wiped the saliva off his face and said in a trembling voice, “l-l didn’t bump into you, sir. You bumped into me first.”
The man glared at him. “I bumped into you? You’re joking! You bumped into me first, and now you’re trying to lie your way out? You old git! Take this!” And then, he slapped Titus.
It was the first time Titus had been slapped, so he was shaken to his core. When he snapped out of it, the man was already nowhere to be found. Titus trembled with rage, humiliation filling him up.
He etched the man’s face into his mind. After he was done with his company’s matter, he would come over to ask Toby for the surveillance camera footage. I’ll make him regret that he was bom. Titus poked his cheek with his tongue before going into his car darkly.
Not long after he left, the man came out of a corner, but this time, someone was standing behind him. “This is the hair you wanted, sir.” He handed over a few strands of hair that was covered with tissue paper. Contrary to how he acted in front of Titus, the man bowed politely at Zane.
Zane took it and handed him a piece of check. “Thanks for your hard work.”
“Not at all. Call me if you need any help. I’ll do whatever you want.” After he took the check, the man thumped his chest.
Zane nodded with a smile. “I will. You may leave now.
Yes, sir.
After the man went his merry way, Zane looked at the place where Titus was slapped, and he snickered before going into the elevator. When he came here, he didn’t expect to see Titus’ car in the car park, but he didn’t let the chance go. He proceeded to call a thug over to put on an act so he could get Titus’ hair. Man, the look on Titus’ face just now was priceless.
“It’s you.” Toby’s face darkened when he saw Zane, since that reminded him of how Zane sent Sonia to the Bayside Residence the day before.
Noticing Toby’s annoyance, Zane scratched his head. “What is it, Toby? Why the long face? I didn’t do anything. Why do you look like I snatched your stuff away?”
Toby pursed his lips. “What do you want?”
“The contract for the new project. I thought I told you earlier.” Zane sat before Toby.
Toby pulled his drawer open, took a document out, and tossed it to Zane. “Sign it and leave.”
Zane arched his eyebrow. “Someone’s in a hurry. Do you have a date with Tina?”
Toby shot daggers at Zane.
Zane quickly gave up. “Fine, fine. Forget I said that.” He looked at the contract and signed it, but he had some questions. Toby seems annoyed when I bring up the fact he’s dating Tina. Why? But he didn’t ask Toby that. After he signed the contract, Zane handed it over. “Done.”
Toby signed his name, and that sealed the contract.
Now that he had done what he needed to, Zane didn’t have any reason to stay. He quickly finished his cup of coffee and left. The moment he came out, he saw Tom leading a doctor, who was wearing a white coat, to the office.
