I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 857

Seeing the disbelief on Rachel's face, the man's smile vanished, replaced by a fierce glare.

"Because of you two, Nelson kicked me off the team. In a little while, I'm going to personally throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

Rachel scoffed. "Did Nelson approve of you throwing us to the fish? Be careful, or he might kill you when he finds out."

The burly man looked smug. "Nelson? You sound pretty friendly with him. What, did you two hook up?"

"What are you talking about?" Rachel snapped, about to charge at him before I pulled her back forcefully.

Seeing this, the man grew even more cocky. "Getting all worked up, am I right? You put on such an innocent act, but underneath it all, you're so…"

Before the man could finish, there was a sharp crack. Rachel had ripped the claw clip from her hair and thrown it at his head.

Though the clip was plastic, she had thrown it with all her strength, and it must have hurt.

The man's eyes instantly turned vicious. "You damn woman, you dare to hit me? I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

As he raised his fist to strike, I pulled Rachel back.

Just as his punch was about to land, a familiar voice echoed from the doorway.

"Stop!"

I clearly saw the burly man flinch at the sound of the voice, a psychological fear of Nelson.

Nelson walked in slowly, enunciating each word. "What are you doing?"

"Nelson, I was wrong. Please, give me one more chance. I've been with you for so many years, I don't know how to do anything else. If you kick me out, I don't know what I'll do."

Nelson pulled a card from his inside pocket and held it out. "Here's ten thousand. Take it and start a small business. From now on, we go our separate ways. We don't know each other."

At these words, a flash of malice crossed the man's eyes. It sent a shiver down my spine; it was the look of someone who wanted to kill.

The man looked up at Nelson. "Nelson, are you really doing this for two women?"

Nelson's face was grim. "This has nothing to do with them. You're too impulsive and you don't think about the rest of the crew."

He shoved the card into the man's hand. "Jim will drive you out of here in a bit."
