My beautiful boss novel Chapter 6

Jack prepared himself as he saw the punch coming towards him. Bob was fast and strong, and Jack knew he wasn't skilled enough to doge it the way Peter could. He couldn't even defeat Eric. Surely, he was no match for Bob.

Peter had other plans, though. He would not allow this bully to get his way. With quick precision, he slapped Bob's hand away from his friend, and delivered a swift counter attack.

Bob didn't see that coming. In his years in this company, no one had ever stood up against him before.

Peter's kick landed on his Belly. He felt a sharp pain, and with a thud, his heavy body landed on the floor.

The room fell silent. No one could believe what they were seeing.

"How...how dare you!" Bob said through gritted teeth. "You...you'll be sorry.." Bob was infuriated. Such humiliation! The Head of Security was beaten up by a newbie!

In his rage, Bob got up and steadied himself, ready to put Peter in his place. Suddenly, the sound of sirens started to fill the air as two police cars arrived at the building entrance. Six policemen started to approach.

Upon seeing them, Bob immediately calmed himself down. "Officer Zhang, thanks for coming. This guy hit my brother and got him wounded! Arrest him immediately!"

The officer gave Bob a knowing nod before approaching Peter. "Come with us, son. We'll have word with you at the station."

Peter looked at Bob and the policeman. It was obvious they knew each other. "Sir, it wasn't my fault!" Peter defended. "They set me up!"

"Hey, son. Are you resisting arrest?" Officer Zhang said coldly.

"Resisting arrest?" Peter laughed. "I'd be glad to come with you. But first, show me your warrant."

Officer Zhang froze. It was unusual for ordinary men to stay calm and think clearly under the stress of being surrounded by the police.

He collected himself right away. "I apologize for my error in speaking, Mr. Wang, " Officer Zhang started. "What I meant to say was that we received reports about you assaulting Mr. Eric Zhen. Please come with us; we would need your cooperation in the investigation."

"No! I'm not going, " Peter said defiantly. He was not a fool! He knew it was a trap. Once he got to the police station, he wouldn't be able to go out without getting a good beating.

"Are you refusing to cooperate, Mr. Wang?" Officer Zhang was about to lose his patience.

"That wasn't what I was saying, officer." Peter explained. "I would actually be very happy to cooperate. I would like to request that it be done here, though. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't go with you to the precinct."

"Here, this might help, " he said as he handed over his phone and played a video.

Both Bob and the policeman were stunned after watching. It was a very clear recording of the fight!

The video was irrefutable evidence of Peter's account!

Officer Zhang handed Peter back his phone and left without another word. He had no reason to stay any longer.

"You have balls! But go feeling proud of yourself. You might feel like you won, but let me remind you that you're fired!"

Bob was furious that Peter foiled his plans, but it didn't matter! No matter what, he was Head of the Security Department and he could do anything he wanted, including terminate his employment!

"You're firing me? Why exactly are you firing me, huh? Give me a reason!" Peter shot, also furious at the obvious powerplay.

"Reason? Hah! You're kidding, right?" Bob roared with laughter. "I am the Head of the Security Department, Peter. I can do ANYTHING I WANT and I do NOT need a fucking reason to do them. Understand? You want a reason? I'll give you a fucking reason. You're fired because I SAY SO."
