My beautiful boss novel Chapter 5

Sounds of heavy breaths filled the room that now grew very quiet.

Eyes wide open, the security guards in the area didn't expect what happened.

"Mr. Zhen, forgive me of forgetting your name. You're right, though. You do need a strong body to qualify as a good leader, " Peter said cooly.

Eric tried to get up but failed. He felt like he wanted to spit out blood. He yelled at the guards in the room, "What are you doing, you stupid pigs! Beat the crap out of this guy! I'll back you up if anything happens! I'm the boss here! Follow my orders, or leave!"

Eric would not let his authority be questioned like that, especially in front of his men.

The guards hesitated. They didn't enjoy being called insulting names either.

They knew they'd only get beaten up as the guy was clearly stronger than Eric. But Eric was their leader; they knew they had to do as they were told.

Before he could enforce his orders, Peter decided to finish him off with one big kick. Peter kicked Eric so hard so fast that Eric immediately blacked out.

He already beat the crap out of Eric. He didn't mind adding one more solid blow. He did not want to fight all the guards. It was enough to have friction with Eric, but he couldn't risk being on the bad side of all the other guards.

"Call 120!"

"Take him to the hospital!"

The guards were smart enough not to fight Peter. They focused instead on attending to Eric and carrying him out. Peter and Jack were left alone in the room.

"Jack, are you OK?" Peter asked Jack.

"I'm good." Jack shook his head, with a frightened gaze at Peter, his hand clutching his chest. He didn't expect Peter to be such a strong fighter.

"Ok, then. Let's get to work." Peter smiled as if nothing happened.

Jack grinned. "Hey, buddy. I like your attitude, but you offended Eric. I'd bet good money you won't be allowed to stay anymore. He's the cousin of the Head of Security, Bob Zhen. I'm sure he won't let you off the hook.

Bob is much tougher than Eric. He has really strong connections with some big guy, he'll be a difficult person to be up against. I'd be calling Miss Dai right about now if I were you."

Jack suggested, genuinely concerned about Peter's predicament.

"What? Nah." Peter waved away the suggestion. "Why bother Miss Dai with such a small issue? Plus, I don't believe the Silverland Group would fire me for an incident as petty as this."

'Besides, what would I tell her? That I beat the team leader to death in less than 2 minutes at work? Haha, nothing good will ever come from that.' Asking for Elaine's help was the last thing Peter wanted to do in this situation.

In the reception hall, Peter went about his day as he would normally.

The two receptionists saw Eric being carried out by the other security guards earlier that day, and after hearing what happened, started to admire Peter secretly for what he had done.

Apparently, Eric had been harassing them with crude jokes and indecent proposals, for the longest time. It drove them crazy but they couldn't say anything because of his position in the company.

They felt as if what Peter did was a stand against him for all the abuse he has caused them, and they appreciated it very much.

"Hey girls. Is everything okay? Do I have something on my face?" Peter asked when he noticed their quick glances.
