Barnaby was hit on the body of another man who was sitting on another side of the sofa. He was dizzy and confused.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. Then they turned to look at Casey.
At this time, Casey looked cold and gloomy. He stood beside Nadia and stared at Barnaby fiercely.
Someone went to turn off the lights and music in the room. Now it was deadly quiet here. The atmosphere was very sutling.
Nadia frowned and sighed helplessly. She thought that Barnaby just asked for it. She had stopped him but he didn’t listen to her. Now Casey was furious. Barnaby was in big trouble.
When Barnaby came to his senses, he immediately stared at Casey angrily. He shouted, “Are you crazy? How dare you hit me? Are you looking for trouble?”
Casey stared at Barnaby coldly and said, “Apologize to Miss Sue, NOW.”
Barnaby got furious. He despised Casey since he told him that he was jobless. He treated him kindly just because of Nadia.
He had just contracted with Nadia today. He was the biggest client of Lan Couch Group among the people in this room. He should be the most respected person today.
Now Nadia’s so-called best friend slapped him and asked him to apologize to Miss Sue. How dare he!
“How dare you to command me? I just made jokes. Do you let me apologize? It’s you who should apologize to me!” Barnaby shouted at Casey.
Nadia said to Barnaby, “Mr. Cox, you did something wrong. You should make an apology. You’d better apologize first, otherwise, it will be worse.”
When Barnaby heard her words, he thought that Nadia wouldn’t dare to irritate him because he was the client of Lan Couch Group. He said, “Apologize? No way! He is just a hobo. Look at the clothes he wears. Only beggars will wear such rags. I’m so polite that I could stand sitting with him. But he dared to hit me. He doesn’t know who he is.”
“Nadia, you called him here. Let him apologize to me, otherwise our contract will be invalid.”
Others thought that Casey should apologize to Barnaby. Barnaby was an important figure. Casey shouldn’t hit him.
“Chairman Nadia, you’d better let your friend apologize to Mr. Cox. It will do harm to your company if you offended Mr. Cox.”
“Yes, Mr. Cox just made jokes. It had nothing with him. Does your friend love Miss Sue? Is it the reason why he hit Mr. Cox?”
“Man, apologize to Mr. Cox. Miss Sue doesn’t know you. Even if you like her, be aware of your identity.”
