Then, to the shock of everyone watching, the tensed Kolten hurried over to Liam, bowed deeply, and said with the utmost respect, "Mr. Cole! My apologies for being late and making you witness this mess! I promise you, I'll sort this out to your satisfaction!"
Liam was not interested in making a scene. He would not have even bothered talking to someone as insignificant as Yale if he had not insulted Calum by calling him a stooge.
"Mhm."
With a nonchalant nod, Liam, followed by Calum, stepped into Kolten's usually private elevator, leaving the crowd's eyes wide with surprise.
Once Liam had stepped into the elevator, Kolten spun around. His eyes burned with fury as he fixed his gaze on Yale, who was still in shock. With a swift motion, Kolten slapped him again and bellowed, "Get lost! You're fired! And don't even think about finding a job in Drunham City or anywhere in Willoughby ever again!"
After his outburst, Kolten swept his steely gaze over the crowd of gawkers. His voice was icy as he warned, "Keep today's events to yourselves. If I hear even a whisper of this, you'll be out of a job so fast, and you'll be blacklisted just like Yale. No one in Drunham City or Willoughby will touch you!"
With that, he shot a menacing look at the onlookers and at Yale, who was desperately pleading. With his assistant in tow, Kolten gave a curt nod to the team captain and rushed to catch the next elevator up.
As soon as Kolten was gone, the captain headed out to his post. The moment he was out of sight, the place erupted with chatter.
"Whoa, who is that guy? Even Mr. Reath had to suck up to him!"
